they celebrated, 1t Is but natural that we
should look at the questions of those times
Shall the people submit to unlawful taxa

now. We hold that unnecessary taxation is
unjust taxation. We hold that no one class
should impose taxes ON another class. So
the question comes up, Shall free people
submit to unjust taxation? Mr.. Frank quot

Of Massachusetts, to show what the fore
fathers thought OF the unlawful taxes i'm
posed by King Georges administration, and
then continued. saying that unlawful taxa
tion tipped the tea into Boston harbor; un-
lawful taxation fired the first shot at Lexing-
ton; and 1t was in resistance to unlawful
taxation that the patriots bled in the trenches
OF Bunker Hill
1t was not the burden of the tax that they
resisted. but the principle. They under
stood that by it they might be reduced from
the condition Of Independent freemen to that

IL be before you would be the slaves Of those

they can cast their ballot for Grover or any
other man. The sidewalks were well filled
