RIGHTS or THE MAJORITY WHO
CONSENT TO OUR GOVERNMENT,
for in this way we shall be just to
the state and TO ALL WOMEN, even
though they may not know ito
THE MINORITY WHO ARE IN RE
BELLION.
Fifth: Woman Suffrage is de
manded by Socialist and Feminist as
"a means to an end"-the end being
"a complete social revolution"
Sixth: The women of this coun-
try are not taxed without represen-
tation.
Every woman taxpayer gets Tor her
taxes what every male taxpayer gets
public improvements and protection
of life and property.
And she is represented by all the
male taxpayers in the community,
because they cannot represent them
selves without representing her.
Their interests as taxpayers are
identical.
Furthermore, as much smaller
percentage of women than of men
nav taxes. the enfranchisement OF wo-
men would greatly increase the per-
centage Of nm-taXpaying voters; and
thus assuming for the sake OF argu-
ment that there is a relation between
taxation and the ballot. votes for Wo-
men would leave the woman taxpay-
er. as well as the male taxpayer, in
worse position than before.
The fact is, however, that taxation
and the vote have no connection
whatsoever
A man may own property in every
CITY and town in the state except the
one where he lives, yet he can vote
only in the one where he lives.
Minors and aliens are fully taxed
on their property but are excluded
from the franchise.
A system Of government based on
property would give the rich man a
power over the poor man that would
destroy democratic government ana
give us in its place plutarchy.
Seventh. Equal pay for work "
1t implies that women working as
many hours and as efficiently as men
are Disseminated against in the mat
ter Of pay on account Of sex, ana
that this would not be 50 if women
had the vote.
In the first place there is little II
any such discrimination.
