TAXATION AND REP
RESERVATION

mo taxation without representation
is the reason given by DR.. Anna Shaw
for refusal to return her personal prop
erty for taxation as required by the laws
of Pennsylvania. At the same time she
urges women throughout the United
States who are subject to the income tax
to follow a similar policy. However, a
study of the principles of political econ
omy will inform any one that personal
property tax or a tax on an honestly
earned income is merely legalized rob-
berry, even when the person taxed hap
pens to be a voter. That shows DR.. Shaw
in the position of declaring in substance
mo robbery without representation,
and of urging other women to pledge
that they will submit to robbery if their
own representatives do the robbing, but
will otherwise resist it. OF course DR..
Shaw is within her rights in saying on
what conditions she is willing to be rob
bed herself, but other women may not
see the advisability of assuming a posi-
ton that may be construed as approval
of the robbery under certain circum
stances.
On the other hand, a woman may not
know anything about correct principles
of taxation, and consequently believe
that the state and federal government
may justly tax any kind of property.
How can such a woman consistently fol-
low Dr. Shaws advice? If it is right
that everyone contribute to the support
of government according to his or her
means, then the right to vote does not
enter into the matter at all. If the tax
assessed on personal property or incomes
is honestly due the government then it
should not be withheld on any pretext.
DR.. Shaw uses the phrase, mo taxa
ton without representation as though
the right to vote ensured representation
of the voter AS matter of fact it does
nothing of the kind In most of the
Southern states legal voters who are not
members of the Democratic party have
no more representation than the women
of New York or Pennsylvania. In every
congressional district voters who do not
favor the successful candidate are unrep-
resented. In the state of Colorado a
majority of the voters favored other than
Democratic candidates, yet the entire
state delegation is Democratic. A major
ity of the voters are consequently disfran-
chised. Although the Democratic party
received but AZ per cent of votes cast at
the election it obtained an overwhelm-
ming majority of congressman. AL
though the Progressive party vote far ex-
ceeded the Republican party vote, there
are only 20 Progressive party men in
Congress to ia Republicans. The So
cia1ists cast per cent of the total vote,
but have not single congressman.
The vote does not necessarily imply
representation. If Dr. Shaw will adhere
strictly to her demand of no taxation

Of the bewitching Mexican soubrette
who had astonished the musical world
with her unprecedented rise to fame.
Newspapers exploited her, hardly a
week passing without her picture ap-
pearing in some edition; artists Wed
with one another in the attempt to in
duce her to pose for them; musicians
raved over her. In three years from
some insignificant Mexican bar-room
stage she had risen to be the sensa-
tion of Broadway. A star that blind

that drove into ecstasies those who

lack Of enthusiasm. thought that it
showed an uneducated taste.
The applause increased like near

acknowledged it with many bows and
smiles; smiles that displayed her even

We left the theater, which was pour
ing its charge of humanity out upon
two streets under the glare of a score
of arc lights, and sought a nearby
cafe.
For some time we sat in silence
slipping our "Yevette." The charm Of
Valjugui was still upon me. l sat thus,
in delightful contemplation, with half
closed eyes, rehearsing inwardly what
/ had heard and seen. l awoke from
this dreamy state to hear Norfeld
saying:
Il can go to Mexico and buy you her
equal for 500" This sacrilegious rude
ness aroused me to make retort, which
l did, with more or less warmth.
''Why don't you do it; fame and for
tune await you if you CAM"

ly, "Be more explicit"

She is rising brothers, rising
With her banner in her hand
In silent tears of anguish,
She has worn the alien chain,
And seen her children languish,
But she's rising once again,
'Gainst Tyranny and Famine,
She dares to meet the danger,
Though friendless and alone;
And tell the heartless stranger,
This sail is all her own,
'Gainst Tyranny and Famine,
IT'S a mothers voice of wailing.
That nerves the hearts of all,
And her sons with love unfailing,
Are coming to her call.
'Gainst Tyranny and Famine,
That overspreads her land;
She is rising, brother, rising,
