It is no argument against national. contribution to the publicschool. system of our land that some of the States will pay more than will lie returned to them from the National Treasury. for the wealth and the incomes upon which the taxesare paid are derived from the industry and enterprise of the entire country. Besides. Mr. President and Senators. an illiterate In one State. allowed to grow up in ignorance. is likely at any time to become a charge on another State. The foreigner coming to our. country. the immigrant who can not speak English. the 3.500.000 who can neither read nor speak English. are not per. manently located in one State.. They move from State to State. and they are a menace to all the States and to the people of all the States. So that line of argument should have but little weight with us.
