Few of the children and only a fraction of the | women have any money with which to pay. Therefore the men who iavork and the women who work must pay it all.

Therefore, the average family pays $225 ~ B'year city taxes, and the increase is equivalent to $25 a family. | f° If the city officials seek to argue that the average family does not : pay this much and that the rich people of New York pay taxes in pro- | portion to their wealth, the answer is that the taxes of New York City +are levied, not upon wealth but upon poverty, not upon inherited or. accumulated riches but upon industry. i 4 | to whom it waa addr on a foundation of If th the {trouble with France and ne pet on th |army rolls, the soldiers were {Il clad, {11 fed | vided tng ober 31, 1906.
