LOADED DOWN WITH TAXES

The Ladies of Ann Arbor Appreciate the Argus Stand for Economy in City Expenditures

 

Mr. Editor: 

I have read with the keenest interest your articles concerning our municipal affairs. Being one of a large class of cltizens who are taxed and yet on account of sex have no representation, no voice in the selection of those whom we are to have transact such business for us, naturally at such a time our helplessness comes home to us with renewed force, and we wonder if the many wonden who are reading these articles are waking up to the importance of the ballot for tornen. Surely we need the help of all good men, in these perilous times. Not only the men who know, but men who will act fearlessly, as you, Mr. Editor, are doing, men who will not be bought or sold, but men who are fired with the true spirit to work for the honest good of all. This is patriotism, as true and worthy of men right here and now as ever it was to shoulder a musket in defense of our country. Our city needs such men and may you find many such rallying to your standard. Words are feeble to express the gratitude. I am sure hundreds of women of this city feel for the work you are doing.
