Show CANNOT AFFORD LARGE FAMILIES New York Woman Discusses Dis-cusses Cause of Race Suicide in Metropolis. NEW YORK, Nov. 15. "The better class of people In New York cannot afford af-ford large families. They have too much to pay in taxes to support the large families of the thoughtless poor." This was the bomb which Mrs. 8. M. Cory exploded yesterday In the Society of Political Study in a resume of the evils patient New Yorkers stand, which created the greatest sensation in the society's history. "New York property owners," said Mr. Coiy. "pay incre.'iBingly large taxes every year, due mainly to the enormous immigration. Who, may I ask, would want to pay taxes to educate edu-cate children that should never have been brought into the world? Why bhould the thrifty pay for the shiftless? "I am not so unchristian as to say that the child once here should not be cared for. But Just so long as taxpayers taxpay-ers pay for expensive playgrounds, etc., the children of tne poor will Increase like rabbits In a burrow. No wonder our houses of refuge and reformatories are filled." |
