Taxation without Representation

4Nessrs. Editors;-Will you kindly allow
me space in your paper to express some
views on taxation with representation.
An editorial under this heading appear
ed in recent issue of the Enterprise
Its chief object, believe, was to show
why the illiteratc (male) citizen should
vote AS am not voter in either
party it is not for me to say whether he
should vote or should not vote, but this
much ! do know, that a man has no
right to tax woman's property without
her consent. Now | can not help but
think that our esteemed Editor of the
Enterprise must be in favor of women
voting also, if not, why bring in the
plea of taxation without representation.
He says, which is quite true, that
I'm the ever memorable struggle of
our infant republic for freedom from the
thraldom of England's oppression, the
principal cause of rebellion was the i'm
position, by the mother country, of tax
alton upon the colonies without allow
ing them representation, or voice in the
selection of their officers, or in the en-
actment Of laws for their government"

capable of votingf You say, "Oh, yes,
they are capable, but politics ere not fit
for lady to dabble into" Why should
the simple fact of stamping ballot
make her unwomanly2 Do we not as
sociate with men in every vocation Of
life Is it not fact that everywhere
woman goes, she renoyates and puri-
fies the moral atmosphere? Look at the
difference between places where men
and women associate together and those
frequented by men only. How long do
you think she would have politics as 1t
is You may rest assured that she
would wipe out the bribery and cor
ruption and change the so-called filthy
pool of politics into clean place.
Frances Willard said, Woman will
make home like every place she enters,
and she will enter every place on the
round earth"
You ask, why should women need to
voter Woman wants to vote. Why
shouldn't she She may be sued, ar
rested and punished by the laws OF her
, country, why shouldn't she have voice
in making those laws2 Her children
attend school, why shouldn't she have
the right TO vote for school officers In
fact, the laws Of her country effect her
and the happiness of her children very
closely. Our legislators being all men,
I
is il at all likely they see things from q
woman's standpoint Therefore, would
1t not be better that woman should vote
so that we would no longer have one
sided government, but as Abraham Linz
cola said, government Of the people,
for the people and by the people 2"
The same great man said, "That no
man is good enough TO govern another
without bis consent" How much less
then is man good enough to govern q
woman without her conseutg
But woman's cause Is marching on.

questions and the most enlightened

nor in any way unwomauly, but because

ask. Let Us have It,
