THE  A  B  C  OF  TAXATION

college  graduate  will  take  with  him  to  his  home  and  into  the
concerns  of  life  something  that  will  be  to  him  an  armour  and  a
weapon  always  at  hand  —  an  economic  code  that  shall  be  as  a
handbook  to  the  publicist,  politician,  and  statesman—that
shall  make  of  the  college  men  in  Congress  and  Legislature  not
dreary  followers  of  a  groping  public  sentiment,  or  the  confident
advocates  of  exploded  economic  opinion,  but  instructors  and
leaders  of  their  time.
