! The WEEKLY
CONSTITUTIONAL
Right to Vote
BY MAX BEPNs

Who has the right to vote for rep
resentatives In Congress!
Since the right to vote is not the
same In all states. Article OF our
Constitution takes care OF this for
national elections by providing that
"the electors [votersl In each state
shall have the qualifications requi-
site for the electors OF the most
numerous branch of the state legis-
lature."
The Federalist. famous authority
on our Constitution. summarizes
this by stating. who are to be the
electors of lvoters forl the federal
representatives. Not the rich. more
than the poor; not the learned.
more than the ignorant; not the
naughty heirs OF distinguished
names. more than the humble sons
OF obscurity and unpropitious for
tune The electors are to be the
great body OF the people of the
United States. They are to be- the
same who exercise the right in
every State Of electing the CORE
spending branch OF the legislature
OF tho State.
Our Constitution has extended
this further By providing that "the

compliment that could be paid to the
industrial system in this country.
BY the same token, it must have
been bitter pill for the Red Govern
ment at Moscow to publicly acknowl-
edge that there was anything superior
in the hated Capitalist system-a sys-
tenn which the Communist party is
dedicated to destroy.
No more opposite political philoso-
plies exist than Communism and De-
mocracy. The guiding principle of the
former is rigid state control over the
individual under political dictator
ship. Democracy, on the other hand,
insures to free people the free play
of individual initiative and rewards
commensurate with ability
Under our system, American indus
try has created the worlds highest liv-
ing standards, the shortest working
hours and highest wage scale, and has
brought benefits to consumers and
workers in degree unequalled any
where else under any other system
That the Communists now make this
public acknowledgment will come as
no surprise to Americans. This imita-
ton of our industrial system by the
severest critic of our political system
follows the recent adoption of writ
ten constitution by the Soviet permit
ting the ownership of private property
and furnishes fresh proof that political
dictatorship and state RECOMMENDATION of
industry are not compatible with the
interests of the working man.

OVERLAPPING TAXATION.

A recent summary issued by the
United States Treasury Department
serves again to call attention to the ex-
tent of overlapping taxation imposed by
the federal and state governments and
once more brings up the query Where
will it all end?'
According to this summary, in 1895
the federal government collected ST.
I'll 100000 from six tax sources-estates
and inheritances, Individual incomes,
corporation incomes, gasoline, liquor
and tobacco. From these same six
sources, the various states withdrew
81, 049 300, 00O--a total burden to the ma
tion's taxpayers on these six sources
alone of over three and quarter bill
lion dollars.
The problem is one of growing seri-
BUSINESS, yet its practical solution is as
yet far from clear There is no agree
ment between the federal and the vari-
GUS state governments regarding what
type of taxes ought to be reserved ex-
clusively to the federal government.
There is no agreement regarding the
equitable division of any tax. For ex-
ample, the federal government taxes
the Individual up to rs per cent Of his
income and the state government comes
along and taxes his income some more.
Out of the muddle, two indisputable
facts have become increasingly clear to
the over burdened taxpayer One is
that tax once levied by either state
or federal authority will not quickly
be abandoned The other is that re-

Experience has shown, and to me it
has been shown conclusively, that
while the law corrected some improper
practices Of few corporations, 1t has
worked tremendous hardships upon
many others. In other words, for each
corporation which has been justly pen
allied by this tax, there are probably
a hundred which have been unjustly
penalized because. for legal or moral
reasons, they could not distribute their
earnings in dividends. The result has
added confusion to the economic life
OF the country, and to many of our fine
American citizens it has been most
disheartening and discouraging.
1t is harsh and unwise policy for
the Government to compel a corpora
ton that may be giving employment
to hundreds of thousands of men and
women to declare its earnings in the
form of dividends to its stockholders
when it needs such earnings to perpet-
uate the employment of these people

must be corrected. If the present
