Eject Of Taxation with Equal Rep
resentntlOn.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir: one
Of the most onmon complaints, espe-
cially from people Of moderate means.
Is that OF the ever increasing burden Of
taxation,
The doctrine of no taxation without
representation was. ! believe, first enun-
clated by Americans, and they M I'VE
reason to be proud Of ii but do they an.
ply 1t e~qultably? IL it right that a man
who pays no taxes or next to non and
indirectly, should have the same vo!,e
in the making Of tax bills as the man
who pays hundreds or thousands OF
dollars?
To ask the question is only to show
the absurdity of the thing. Another
question; How far is such an absurd
application of the doctrine referred tn
responsible for the orgy OF ~cxtravagance
which charactcrizes our governmental
admin! stration In general? EQUITY.

W are sadly and grossly unprepared
even for a defensive war" said Gov.
Dunno Of Illinois. who maintained tina,
the United States should have at least
1000 900 men within its borders with
military training so that they could de-
fend the nation IL the life of the country
was assailed."
He advocated the payment of 81 i
night to militiamen for drills, with forty
drills required before payment.
Ex-Governor Dix OF New York made
an address in behalf OF conservation.
He said in part
Conservation is not the locking up
of resources. but a sacred stewardship

To THE EDITOR Of THE SuS-Sir: |
am one Of those who don know much
and frequently have to ask others. Dur
ing my more thar forty years as a
reader Of THE SUN I have a number OF
times been benefited by Its answers to
my questions and | trust 1t will favor
M once more. u now two things are
troubling me
/. What Is the state OF being right
and doing ones duty?
2 What Is meant BY preparedness for
war?
Our esteemed ex-Presldent, Theodore
Roosevelt, has a great deal to "a about
doing right. In the report OF his speech
at Plattsburg he said among other
things The prime duty OF the citizen
ls, by criticism and advice. even against
what he may know to he the majority
opinion OF his fellow citizens, to insis.
that the nation take the right course
OF action" Isn't that Just what We are
now doing and have been doing all the
time, each one. even against the opinion
OF others. insisting upon his way? And
aren't We. therefore, all right? II not.
Ia righteousness n state Of being as de-
fined By Mr.. Roosevelt. and will he
please define II?
About preparedness for war. In Eu-
rope just now neither OF the countries
AZ war. whether in defence or on the
offensive. seems to have been suffi-
Gently prepared. Every one OF them
thought they were right and all were
better prepared than We are. but war
came. II We are to repare. how many
countries shall We prepare for and which
ones? Is preparation OF any use unless
We are better prepared n all the
forces that may oppose us? And when
shall we know we are sufficiently pre-
pared? II a policy e preparation Is
right for one country IL Is right for all /.
and II each country is to be better pre-
pared han the aggregate preparation OF
a number Of other countries. how is 1t all
to end? r.. :.
