TAXING SYSTEM FOR
GOVT. OUTLINED
Program Proposed by Leading Demo¬
crats Include Inheritance Tax, In¬
come Tax, Tobacco Tax, and
Customs Duties.
Representative John N. Garner is the
Texas member of the house ways and
means committee, and also dean of
the Texas congressional delegation. H ■
i H a democrat and his views on the
tariff and taxes are typical of the opin
tuns of most of the democratic mem¬
bers of house and senate. What he
s;i vs regarding taxes may be taken as
representing the opinions of most of
the democratic congressmen. This
democratic leader would have a taxa¬
tion program as follows:
1. An inheritance tax.
2. An income tax.
3. A tobacco tax.
4. Customs duties.
5. Postoffioe receipts.
This program would be the perma¬
nent taxing system of the government,
declares Mr. Garner.
Such a taxation program would pro¬
duce, he says. $3,500,000,000 annual
revenue-—enough to pay the expenses
of the federal government.
All other taxes should he repealed,
so far as the present system of taxa¬
tion is concerned.
For emergency taxes, for one year
iii' even two years in order to pay
the floating debts of the United States
hearings should be held by the house
ways and means committee and the
senate finance committee, with a view
of continuing the excess profits tax
and certain corporation taxes.
Under any conditions, Mr. Garner
declares, that the railway freight and
passenger taxes should be abolished.
The soft drink, amusement and drug
tax. and all similar imposts, should
he repealed. They have no place in
our permanent taxation system, de¬
clared Mr. Garner. We do not need
them or an emergency tax just at this
time. We must come to a peace basis
for taxation and not continue the wtr
taxes.
The democrats had no part in train¬
ing the emergency tariff bill, the re¬
publican majority in the house ways
and means committee attending ex¬
clusively the drafting of that measure.
Neither will democrats be allowed
to participate in the darfting of the
tax hills, either in the house or sen¬
ate. Tt is therefore unlikely that any

ers for twenty years, and while the Fordson Tractor has only been on the market two years, more than one
0 third of all the Tractors in use in the United States are Fordson Tractors.
Now you can’t upset a fact. You can’t back away from an established truth, and there it is—out of three

of Mr. Garner’s views on taxation "ill
efit to the north and west incidentally
be considered by the republicans in
framing the tax bills, except insofar
as the Garner views coincide with the
opinions of the republican majority.
There can be no doubt that if con
gtvss adopted some sort of tax program
similar to Mr. Garner's suggestions
there would be enough annual
produced to conduct the government,
and such a program would lift from
the people many of the irksome
that now are in force, particularly the
drug and soft drinks tax. as well as the
amusement tax, all of which annoy
people.
The most successful tax is the
that is least felt by the population that
produces the most revenue, and
ticularly is not annoying to those
pay it. Any stamp tax, such as
drug tax. is annoying not only to
chasers but to dealers. It takes
to affix the little stamps to all
chases in a drug store. Similarly
ting up odd pennies for a soda
drink annoys both the man who
and the man who buys the
Stamp taxes have never been
since the days of the Boston tea party.
We are liable, however, to have
stamp tax with us for some time. Re¬
member that for some years after the
war with Spain the stamp taxes of
that period were in force.
The south, which is almost wholly
democratic, probably will not he pleas
ed with the permanent tariff hill. The
north and the west are in control of
congress and very natural!} legislation
will he shaped as far as tariff is con
cerned principally for the benefit of
these sections of the country. If the
south profits from the permanent tar¬
iff it will be because schedules of ben¬
efit ti the north and west incidentally
benefit the south. The south simply
has to pay the penalty of being demo
orntic when Ihe congress is overwhel¬
mingly republican. Whenever the
south turns republican and has a large
number fo senators and representa¬
tives of that faith in congress then
the south can demand and will get fav
nrs in tariff hills, and not before unless
congress happens to have a democratic
majority. When that happens the
south always secures what it wants
in tariff matters.

American convention of the American

"The Abigails and Patiences belong
to a day that is dead and gone.
“I can speak particularly of the
young American college girl,” Profes¬
sor Roselli said. “And I can honestly
say that 1 find her a far more satis¬
factory product than her European sis¬

her convictions and is healthful phys¬

up and embittered girl.”

“Ten years is a long time to suffer
and 1 am certainly thankful that I
am once more enjoying good health,”
said Mrs. Ida Smith, of 214 Seventh
Street, Huntington, W. Va.
”1 was getting worse so rapidly that
1 felt if something wasn’t done soon
l couldn’t live much longer. I had
spent a small fortune trying to get re¬
lief, hut with no results. I had such
a dreadful case of indigestion that I
could hardly cat a thing and was slow¬
ly starving to death. Often I had
cramping spells that almost drove me
frantic and 1 suffered awfully with
bloating, palpitation and heartburn.
“At times I would almost suffocate
1 was badly constipated and was hard¬
ly ever free from headaches. I was
extremely nervous, couldn’t sleep well
and was so discouraged that I almost
lost heart.
"1 have taken only four bottles of
Tanlac and Fen joy my meals now, for
