THE RIGHT TO TAX, it is often said, and is now mad especially prominent as the slogs of a political party, that "a govern- ment has no right to tax the whole people for the benefit of individuals or a class of individuals. This statement is so near the • tenth, and yet so far frotn it, as to be easily misleading. The difficulty lies in the double sense or vague signification of the phrase '-for the benefit of individuals or a ciase of individuals.' If it means that a governnfent has not the right to tax -the whole body politic in order toiii`rovent.eulfering, relieve want or trrovide opportunity, it is against all reason and experience. The dic- tates of common humanity, in this respect are in entire harmony with the dictates of common sense. It is now universally admitted for in. stance, that a government tenet not permit want to ripen into famine or allow death to gather unhindered the„hatTrgsl„,,,of pesE,ildnce� -Tht9 not were charity nor is it the fruit of any sentimental philanthropy. The individual is not relieved from suffering "for his own benefit" stere- ly but because the "general welfare" demands et. The primal purpose -of govern- ment wee no doubt the protection of human life.' Men banded them- selves together for mutual security, and individual safety has over since has.been one of the most important obligations. sf government. But why should government protect the individual against the power of an enemy and refuse him protection against the forces of nature, or the influences generated by social rela- tions. Evidently the same mutual inter: egt which demands the one requires also the other. Both justice and sound economy declare it more con- ducive to the "general welfare" that a man should bo kept alive rather' than permitted to die of went or curable disease, even if it uecessitatos burdening the body po- litic with his support either tempor- arily or even permanently. the benefit'tt ittclividpuls," as there can 'be 00 (tope of tretnevinjo returns. lhe.•eine priovipl.e Moe t,r.en ox. tended .moult farther in the ease of the dant, • dumb, and idled who ere supported at the publ ie expense while being taught le communicate with' their feilows and to fellow suvb vocation/las will conte it rite to teed. power of aelf_e;ulei.ort, r, Free schools ri aiuetaiued 1 y l:ub- lie teXateeu, AS Ne have teen, Peet ou the *emu logical basis, Curious- ly enough, this came before the others, the care of the theater acid education. of the phybically defer- tive being later applications of the .Ra the principle. - Under almost all governments and iu all ages; howet er, the ap.. plication of the public r•ovennes to relieve or prevent iml,overiel'tu,reut hue been u frequent thing. 'This has been Bought to be effected chief. ly in four ways : • 1. By actual eupport of the wholly impoverished and infirm. • 2 13y temporary relief of of indi- viduels in urgent rived cif -the 'recess. aries of life. 3. By undertaking public weeks ter the purpose of providing labor. 4 By aesiucing emigration and en• coureging colonization. All of these methode have been adopted so of ten that tee doubt can exist in the Mind of any 0110 as to their constituting a very legitimate exercise of collective power. The "general welfare" bring dependent on general conditions, whatever en- hances those conditions is a lit and proper subject for collective action. . Beyond all question, the unpre• cedented prosperity of the Amer', can Republic is due, more than any- thing nythintt else, to certain applications Ga the public revenues for the ripper, ent benefit •of individuals. Thera have been very many forms of this, in our hiatery, but perhaps the titch notR.b!e are 1. The application of the public o funds and of the publio domain to n the support of free schools. •* i* The evolution of government has made it a general insurer of the lives and necessary creature core - forte of the individuals owing it al- legionoe. • This is the basis on which rest all laws intended for the relief of the poor. But, as we have seen, the function of civilized governmegt during the last century has been carried very far beyond this oint. Not only the relief of want, b' its prevention and the increased abs ity of the individual to' achieve lf- support have come to be adm' ted as not only legitimate but among the mnst important concerns of gov ernment. The support not only of the poor, but of the insane and men- tally defective, also has become a preferred claim upon the revenues of every civilized people. In these cases the public is taxed solely "for 2 The pratical donations of pub lie amisl to actual settlers. 3. The liberal use of the power of eminent domain to secure the right of way for the lines of teat's- portatioti. 4 The grant of bonuses and lands in aid of. Railwaycnnstructinu Each one of these is violative of the principle now the strenuously urged, that "government has the right to tax one individual for •the .. benefit of another individual or class of individuals." lu each ease there was an immediate individual beneficiery,.

In every case the whole body of the•people, or rapt•cific .portions of the citizenship, were taxed fdr what wart of especial advantage to speci• fiC 1adividuaIa, •It is not to be presumed that this power was in all cases wisely used. There is no doubt that in many instances the indirect benefits which the public expected to de,. rive front them did not materialize. The advantage of particular acts of legislation is not now under consid. oration. What it ie desirable to fix in the reader's mind is the fact that the theory that government is pro- hibited by any sound moral or et•on, omit principle to tax the whole for the benefit of a part, or one class for the benefit of another, is not a true principle as stater], since it is often not only good policy, but an absolute necessity to do so. These facts do not prove that all application of this principle are acts of sound policy. They only show the fallacy ofa loud.sounding theory which foolishly affirms that none of them are. The true principle is that the taxation of the whole for immediate benefit of a few or a class is not only within the legitimate powers of government, but is sound policy whenever an adequate result, ing advantage accrues to the public therefrom. From thia we deduce Notion No. 43. It is no infrae, tien of personal; right to tax the many for the benefit of an individue al or a class, if the reaultis to pro, mote the ,'general eve fare." In such cases the policy or impolicy of the statute does not depend on tide right to levy such a tax, hut on the ultimate result of such taxation. .Jour WORKMAN.
