WHAT WOULD THEY
DO WITH IT?
What Part of th Work of Governmanl
Would Women Do Any Bettar Than
Men? "Taxation Without Rep
mentation" an Argument Dan
gerous to Its Advvcatee.
The one argument npon which the .
srtyocates of woman suffrage fall bac
being unanswerable Is that women
are taxed without representation. Thla
would seem to mean that whoever la
taxed shovrtd have a vote, and the only
conclusion of thia reasoning la that
whoever la not taxed should not vote.
If the argument la worth anything; It
must mean that.
"I own property," says a woman who
feeks to be. a voter, "and I pay taxea .
on It, and I cannot think that taxation
without representation Is Just"
This plea has been repeated so often
that It is time to point out Its fallacy.
There are two kinds of taxes a mon
ey tax and a service tax. The money
tax is levied on property, man's and
women's alike, pro rata. The service
tax Is levied on men alone. It calls
for Jury service, police service, military
service, and every man takes his
chances on it ,
Sometimes one goes through his sev
enty years without suffering from ft
at all. -Again, be spends weary hours
In the Jury room, or be Is sworn In as
a special constable to
Quell a Riot and Fight a Mob,
or he Is called to camp and battlefield,
where he may lose a limb or aa eye or
his life. '
-"-"- " uiiq aiuu
of taxation and not with the other.
Property Is protected by' the govern
ment, as women are. But property, .
whether man's or woman's, has no rep
resentation. If it had, it must necessarily be In
muse Mr. Astor and the sweeper ma'kex
it dangerous for anybody to molest
os.
Without this protection our possesj
Ions would be of no value. This pro
tectlon we contribute In equal meas
ure, mnn for man, and this same fro
tectlon we extend to our sisters; oi
cousins and our aunts.
Frequently an election ia far tot
purpose of determining under what '
laws and In what manner this pro
tectlon shall be exercised, nnd'tbosa
who furnish the protectlm rightfully
claim tho privilege at dictating ltt
form. , . ; ... ,,
The woman surfr-ijrlsts, so far from
suffering taxation rthout representa
tion, aro asking to bo representer
where, they are' not taxed.
Properly speaking, "
1 Nay Woman la Taxed,
and no property is: presentcdi Th
woman's property Is1 taxttd, and foi
that money It anl ho get exactly
what the mnnr and ;hla property ptt
Dolice Drotectlou. fire service. i:?hiino
and cleaning of streets,' maluteuaue
of courts,, etc., - j
Kvery man Is taxed, even if he owni
no property a tax that is laid, upon
his time, hla strength and often upon
bis life. He bears this tax for the pro
tectlon of all the lives In thq coniirtu
nity, no mat'ter whose, and all the prop
erty, no matter whose, and to this tas
the women contribute nothing and an
not asked to contribute,
- The suffragists appear to thinS they
dispose of this consideration when they
tpeak of men who are "exempt"' from
military service and still vote. The Im
mediate answer is that there is no real
exemption.
All the men are liable, but when 11
happens that, the government in an .
emergency does not need all at once It
takes Its pick and speaks of the others
as "exempt" It may" at first call only
for the men under twenty-five, but
When more are wanted It rinaa nnt hna.
Itate to call for men as old as thirty
five, and so on. Many now living re
member an emergency in which ten
states called out every man, of what
ever age, who could shoulder a musket
t all, . - -
But even this is not the root of the
Question. For regular service In
long campaign the government would
not take a man forty-five years of aga
with weak lungs if it could get at
many as it wanted who were but
twenty-five and had strong lungs.
But suppose the weak lunged man of
rorty-nve is
MAaln tha QovmihimI11 ,
and disposed to unite In an attempt to
overthrow it will he "exempt" him
self 7 Will he refrain from Joining an
Insurgent force on the ground that he
la over age and not In robust health?
Touth or age, lungs or no lungs, that
man is a power to bo reckoned with;
and this is why he is allowed to vote,
in order that when the ballots are
counted be may see that be and hla
kind are In tho minority and It would
be hopeless for them to attempt an
overthrow of the government '
When the good Prince Albert In 1851
Invented world's fairs and organized
tho first one, It waa hoped that the
brotherhood of man had been demon,
strated and the era of universal peace
begun, but in three years there was a
bloody war that Involved more than
half of Europe, in which the only thing
contended for was commercial b
premacy.
And many Who read-this have seen
in our freest of all free countries
million men fighting to the death and
spending their last dollar.
