The Ethics of Taxation.

1t Is a distress to us that the Peters,
burg Index-Appeal has erroneous views
on the subject of, taxation. On
most questions OF public policy our con-
temporary is so sound and sensible that
whcn wc read one OF its misguided arti-
cles on taxation we have much the same
feelings as when we read in the public
print of a good man has gone wrong The
Indcx-Appcal takes MS to task for saying
that taxation is confscation.
Surely 1t says, ''our contemporary
does not mean TO imply, much less 10
assert. that the protection OF life. lib
erty, property and the pursuits of hap.
piness is no adequate return for the
taxes we pay? Would it not be as logi-
cal to shy that the baker. the butcher
and the clothier robbed us when they
took our money In return for the neces-
saries OF lifc2 Have a care, esteemed
contemporary. lest in your wild and ezra
tic use Of phrases, which are neither
new nor true. you fracture the whole sys-
tenn of our social compact!''
Taxation is not conrscation In the
harshest sense Of thai term: 1t is not the
sort or confiscation that the government
employs when It takes private property
and appropriaics IT TO public use as n
means OF punishment. But confiscation
Is the act Of taking away from another
by authority and the government in im-
posing taxes a%ppropriatcs TO Its own use
a part OF the income OF the taxpayer.
II is all well enough 10 say that this is
done 10y and with the consent of the
people. Speaking for the whole people,
that is true: Int IT is also true that every
property owner must pay taxes. whether
he consents or not; and. II he %resists. the
government lays violent hands upon his
property, and, u necessary. sells II in
order TO collect the sum assessed. The
butcher and The baker do not assess us.
We trade with them or not. as we like.

Old Age Pensions

we are opposed to an oid-age pension
on the ground that 1t would encourage
people to grow old.
That sounds like a humorous paragraph,
but it is not intended as a witticism.
Old age is not altogether a matter OF
years. Some men are old at fifty. while
others are young at sixty. II depends
on tho man. on his health and on hi.
disposition. The man who takes care
of his health. who fights on the ray

young. who refuses to fall back as the
procession moves on, but insists upon
Keeping his place in line, who keeps pace
all the time with his younger neighbors.
will be a long time In getting old.
But II he does not use these precau-
lions he will grow old before his time,
and an old-ase pension would BIO a
temptation TO do so.
There are other reasons why we op-
pose old-age pensions, but the one we
have stated Is sufficient in Itself. Such a
pension would be a menace to physical
and mental vigor.

is necessary to tho conduct Of govern
mcnt, md our doctrine. preached over
and over again. is that 1t is us much n
patriotic duty to pay all just taxes as
sessed against n citizen as II 10 to us
charge any duty OF citizenship. Only
recently we came down as hard us par
liamentary language will allow upon de-
linuucnts In Richmond, who go on from
year to year enjoying the privileges ana
benefits OF government without paying
their share OF the cost. The State has
tho right to impose taxes; 1t is the duty
OF every citizen to pny taxes. aud, ASIA
rule. the benefits OF government when
every citizen receives are in the nature
of full compensation to him for tile X
he pays. But we Insist upon these run
damentals: when the State undertakes
to assess taxes against its citizens ana
compel them to pay the sum so assessed,
It then becomes the bounden duty OF the
State to employ every means at hand
to make the assessment fair and equita-
bic. so that the burden of taxation shall
fall upon each and every citizen accord
ing to his ability to pay. Our protest is
not against taxation. OF course not. II
is against double taxation and unjust
in all it's forms; against any
which discriminates against some
and in favor of others. The system
should be SO ndjustcr as to make the
burden and benefits fall eauitably upon
