One of the questions moid often
asked of solicitors is: "Why does not
the government raise, the money for
the Bed Cross by taxation?" There
are several reasons. Quick relief is
necessary when great emergencies
arise. Th 3 red tape that necessarily
binds all government transactions
In order to insure that the taxpayers
will not be defrauded by weak or
greedy agents takes too long to be
unwound. Another reason is that
none of the governments are equip
ped in time of peace with the neces
sary medical servlee, and this must
be furnished in times of war by vol
unteer organizations The govern
ment enlists in its service only those
who are between certain ages and
who are able to pass a physician ex
amination otherwise the pension
rolls after the war would be so bur
dened that the cost would stagger the
rightest man, The Red Cross is the
method devised to gel the workers
