EQUALITY AND PRIVILEGE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Since you have given your valuable
space 20 the mild satire of Ruth Grover S
letter. / presume you will be good enough
10 print my answer | have never denied
that there are cases where women are
obliged to earn their living. and even TO
earn the living of others. But do protest.
and 7 shall continue to protest while |
have breath I'm my body. at the shameful
ideal that is being bred by the suffragists-
the ideal that a girl or woman is parasite
If she is supported by another. One Of the
leading suffragists makes no exception of
the wife who is supported by her husband.
In speaking TO the Barnard girls as !
did thought II about time that some one
should hold up to girls not tho disad-
vantages Of protection. but the advantages;
not the Misunderstanding effects Of not going
out into the world to earn a living. but the
obligation imposed upon one who is shell
tered All about are young girls ashamed
10 stay at home and make the atmosphere
of the home what il should he. They are
bitten with the restless miorobe that it is
nobler and finer 10 go out and do some
thing To stay home and do more Is be-
yond their ken.
If the girls go out into the world and
earn their living precisely as their broth
ers do. we shall have Trailer babies and
fewer. worse housekeeping and less it, In
fact II women once receive the real and
complete equality they are painting for.
they as a sex will go TO the wall or he
wiped out. 1t is because the woman never
really means equality. but privilege, that
she knows not whittier she goes.
The vote means nothing unless it reflects
public opinion. The vote Of women in
Utah and Idaho has not downcd polygamy
The vote of women has not put on the
statutes OF a single state Il law that has
not pre-eXisted on the statutes Of non
suffrage state The anti-suffragsts are
glad TO share with the splendid men who
are trying to purify politics the response

feel there is such preponderance of civic
virtue in our sex that the mere entrance
Of a sex into politics is going to help con-
dtions. ANNIE NATHAN MEYER

WHERE THE FlLLiCY LIES.

In his testimony before the Assembly
Judiciary Committee i'm the Aldermanic
Chamber last Saturday Professor Selig-
man. of Columbia University. is reported
to have waXed facetious over the OBJ
tuscness Of those who have been oppoS-
ing the adoption of the income tax
amendment 10 the federal Constitution
in its present defective form. These
"cbtuse" persons have suggested that the
phrase. from whatever source derived.
should be stricken ont Of the present
draft on the ground that were it elini-
mated there could be no question about
continuing the protection against federal
taxation assured 10 state. county and
city securities under existing rulings If

that i'm accordance with the balance Of
powers established between the nation

amendment. if adopted with its unfortu-
nate phrase. from whatever source de-
rived" would evidently upset that bal
ancp so far as the subsection of state
instrumcnialities 10 federal income
tax is concerned.
Mr.. Scigman is disposed TO make light
Of the suggestion that the states would
Ice put at a disadvantage if income from
state. county and municipal securities
were TO he included in income taxable
by the general government. He told
the Assembly committee, according TO
the reporters:
Under no conceivable circumstances
could the imposition of an income tax
affect the value of the state and mu-
nicipal bonds an iota why? Because
wherever the investor turned he would
be subjected to the same tax
Furthermore. il is narrated that ne

If one of my students in an examna-
jion made the mistake fell victim To the
fallacy that Governor Hughes did in

ever.
II Is easy enough 10 convict somebody
else of a fallacy when ones own pre-
misses are AT fault. Professor Sclgman
argues speciously that if the government
imposes an equal tax on income from
al securities 10 one class Of securities
can he deprecated In value more than
any other. That is true enough But II
IS also true that if any one class Of
securities were exempted from TAX
