cuded from share in government and
power have won. They will win because
the thing they are fighting for is denied
them, not through justice but through
arbitrary force.
A lot of eminently respectable and
wholly commendable citizens will go to the
polls tomorrow determined to perform a
great public duty. They will vote against
woman suffrage, as their kind have voted
against every other project of progress
since the world began. II suffrage is
beaten they will be first satisfied at the
result and then surprised that 1t has set
tied nothing. They will be still more sur
prised in the future when they see how
far from settled the thing really is.

Taxation Aimed at New York City

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The proposition for state income
tax, as a method of securing additional reve-
nues for city and state purposes, serves to
direct attention to the growing tendency to
impose heavier tax burdens on the residents
of this city.
This does not apply only to state taxation
but also to the question of Federal revenues
The sentiment in Congress which led to the
adoption Of the tax on corporations and the
income tax was strengthened by the knowi
edge that these would be largely borne by
the great manufacturing and commercial
cities. of which New York is easily first
An analysis of the corporation tax and
income tax returns shows that the anticlpa
tions of their advocates have been fulfilled
and that this city is paying very large per
centage of the total amount collected IRON
these sources. And, In the opinion Of carefu
observers of the Congressional mind, we are
only at the beginning of further tax imposi-
tons on the manufacturing, commercial ahd
financial interests of the country, OF when
New York will be called upon to pay It's pro-
portionately heavy share.
The popular demand for increased appr"-
pristions for national preparedness mas peer
met with the suggestion by Senator'S aho
Representatives from the Southern and west
ern states that the revenues for this purpose
be secured by increasing the rate OF the red
eral income tax, while the Anti-Saloon
League, which Is vigorously prosecuting its
campaign for national prohibition, under
which there would be an immediate loss OF
$500, OOO,OO annual revenue, has in its oifcia
organ declared for heavy Federal inheri'
lance tax as one method OF raising this i'm
mense amount, now voluntarily paid by the
consumers of alcoholic beverages.
DO the mercantile, manufacturing and com
uerciaI interests of New York realize the
extent of the burden that are likely TO be
;mnosed on them by Federal tax laws? Are
thew willing to contribute in an ever-incress-
ing ratio toward meeting the expenses of the
national government? II not it is high time
that they should take action to oppose al
nronosals for taxation that are aimed at the
productive capital and industry of this city
New York, Oct. 10, 1915. W. W.
