Lttt?r To Editor
Dear Sir:
1 ?iii sending you an edi
torial dipping from today's
Andrews Journal entitled,
"What's All The Fuss About."
Of all ill-fitting comparisons
these have got them all peel
ed.
Voting is not an occupation
but a democratic privilege
won by our founding fathers
in sweat, blood, and tears arid
passed on down to this gen
eration of people.
Of course, we would not
expect lawyers and doctors to
practice without qualifications
because men's lives would be
at stake in their hands.
All people pay taxes direct
ly or indirectly. This and
our American heritage should
entitle them to their vote.
If we are going to disfran
chise them, let's relieve them
from paying taxes.
I can read and write, how
ever, there are many things
the illiterate in books can do
that I can't do. Many people
who can't read and write have
accumulated ten times the
wealth and paid that many
times the taxes than I have.
If they are not entitled to
their vote, they are not worthy
to live in this great country
of ours.
I am 79 years old. When
I opened my eyes and got
old enough to be concious of
the surrounding things about
me, I perceived that a few
people had hacked and dug
their way into these Western
hills. They were ignorant
people. Not many of them
could read and write, yet they
opened up the way for , or laid
the foundation for, the present
generation to build on what
was perhaps some of the auth
or's ancestors. They too made
an X for their name.
This article may land in the
waste basket, however, 1 could
not resist the impulse to try
to say a word for the un
fortunate illiterate in letters.
This condition, more than
likely, did not come about
through any fault of their own.
I think that every citizen tax
payer should be at least en
titled to their vote.
To vote is a birth right,
inherited by being a citizen
of this great democracy or
else it will someday cease
to be one.
Sincerely,
Henry M. Mason.
