DANGER FROM IGNoR ANT

A questio.- of real importance is
whether 1t is any greater invasion of
individual rights to prescribe poll
tax than to prescribe an educational
or property qualification. Ifthe pr
viiegr OF voting be inherent and in
aiienaole, MS many persons pre-
tend 10 think, that Il is lite as
tyrann'cle and cruel to make one pay
for its exercise as to say that he has
some glimmer of interest in the re-.
suit.
We do not conceal our own opinion
which is that the ballot should be
kept out of the hands OF the igno-
rant, the shiftIess, the vicious and
the irresponsible classes. 1t is per-
fectly clear to US that if the Migrants
OF the slums are to have as much
voice in public affairs as those who
own property, pay taxes and in other
ways represent our civilization and
our material welfare, we may as we'll
abandon hope of honest and eniight-
ened government and prepare for the
eventual downfall OF our political and
social institutions. Washington

1t was suggested at the coun-
Gil meeting A1ast evening, that it
is wrong to have the tax payer
who keeps his premises clean,
bear a tax payers part of the
expense of putting in a sanitary
condition the. back yards of those
who are endowed with less of
the virtue that is said to be next
to Goodness.
Which is an eminently correct
proposition, and since it is prac-
tically (and litera1ly) impossible
to compel people to be clearly,
and the unsanitary places can
not be tolerated, it would be not
only just but proper to tax the
property with all expenses of
sanitary service.
We we're gratifed, too, to note
that the suggestion came from a
source that we had long regarded
as inimical to municipal wealth
-antagonistic to every sugges-
ton of economy and, perhaps,
without the opportunity to graft.
