Some Questions.


When a laboring man applies for
work and is offered half wages he
is told that he can buy just as
much with his half wages now as
he formerly bought with full
wages. If that be true. why should
he not pay Just half as much taxes
and half as much interest on the
money he owes on his home as he
paid when he got full wages2
But we are told that such talk as
this is anarchy and incites the
masses against the classes. What
re we to call that system of favor
ed legislation that has given the
few the benefits they now enjoy
over the many? If the working
man must be forced to labor for
half wages upon the theory that
his half wages viii buy as much
as his former full wages did, why
not the hundredssof thousands of
Office holders be made to work for
Just half the salary they formerly
worked forY Why should any dis
tinction be drawn in their favors
