Newspaper Page TextHON. H. H. PM Candidate for the United States Senate I ' ■, • HIS RECORD AND WHAT HE STANDS FOR ' Mr. Perry Is opposing the re-elec tion of Senator Bacon at the 'August primary. Senator Bacon has had this office for eighteen years, and now asks for six years more. tWIWWBI " ImII 111 L JB HON. H. H. PERRY | Os Hall County Announces for United States Senator. Mr. Perry points out that the bur den of Federal taxation collected through the tariff and internal reve nue and amounting to over SSO a year for each family, is entirely on the backs of'the’people and is not shared In proportion by tile wealthy classes. That an income tax on large incomes, as in European countries, would not only relieve the masses of the peo ple, but would dispense with the ne cessity for high tariff duties. He shows that sheltered by the tar iff wall, great monopolies control the necessities of life; that the excessive prices thus imposed on the people amount to 1,500 millions a year. The Southern farmers, as well as the bal ance of us, pay out one-third of the proceeds of their labor in excessive prices, for which they get no value received. That with this burden re moved, even with cotton at low prices their profits would make them inde pendent. It is these burdens ^hich in spite of their industry keep the farmer on a strain from crop to crop and the laboring man on one from day to day. ' He advocates absolute prohibition and punishment of so-called trusts and monopolies of all kinds, but thinks an income tax and low tariff ■would largely break them up. He favors strict regulation of rail roads and other public service corpo rations to prevent discrimination and unjust rates. * He favors stricter laws against free passes and lobbying and safeguard ing our legislation from the influ ence of special interests. i He is in favor of the parcels post, more stringent immigration laws, and of laws prohibiting speculation on all products of the farm. He advocates a government express service, with rates according to distance. He is opposed to the distribution by congress members of free garden seed, or other things of value. He is opposed to private pension bills and all extravagant appropria tions and to the excessive mileage and other allowances and privileges to congressmen in addition to their salaries. He advocates better labor liability laws. He opposes the employment of children under 12 years in mills and factories, and is for shorter hours of labor sos those employed. He insists that in all cases the peo ple should select the United States senators, and this office should no longer be a plum to be handed out by the politicians. He believes the Panama canal should be made free, and that such policy would greatly build up ,our South Atlantic ports- He believes interstate shipments of intoxicants should be strictly regulated for the protection of prohibition communi ties. ' He favors Federal aid in building good roads, and in maintaining schools for practical agricultural edu cation. MR. PERRY’S RECORD. 1 Judge H. A, Mathews, well known and honored throughout the state, when introducing Mr, Perry in Hous ton county, said: “I have served with him in the senate and the house, and can say no one has done mope in the past ten years to advance the interests of Georgia. In broad schol arship, in mastery of the great na tional and constitutional questions, and in practical statesmanship, I know no man better fitted to repre sent us in the United States senate.- Others also eminent have borne sim ilar testimony to his services and fit ness. Dr. E. W. Watkins, one of our most prominent public men, introducing Mr. Perry In Gilmer, said: "He has done more than any other man for advanced legislation In the state, 1 ' Mr. Perry, while born and reared in South Georgia, removed when a iyoung man to North Georgia, and In ============^^ Identified with that section. But har ing lived in both sections, he would know the needs of the entire state. He has been chairman of the com mittee on the constitution eight years in the house and senate, and also chairman of the judiciary com mittee three years in the Georgia sen ate. He was the sole author of the bill establishing the eleven district agri cultural schools, which have attract ed the attention of the world. He was the author of the constitutional amendment limiting the tax rate to five mills. He drafted the bill as it now stands on the statute book and led the fight for it in the senate, re quiring the corporations to pay taxes on their franchises, which was passed in lieu of the excellent but Imperfect bill first passed in the house. This measure has been bringing seven or eight hundred thousand dollars a year in additional taxes, relieving the people to that extent. He seized the opportune moment and introduced and successfully supported the bill establishing the court of , appeals, which has done so much to expedite the administration of justice in Geor gia. He introduced in 1902 the first gen eral bill against free passes. He introduced in 1906 the first bill to reorganize and strengthen the rail road commission and supported and added valuable amendments to the present law, among them the provi sion which for the first time gave the commission the power to require proper service as well as the power to regulate rates. He was the author of the first meas ure to reduce railroad passenger rates, putting telephone companies under control of the railroad com mission, and of the bill repealing the 10-mile limit in the railroad law and thus opened the way for electric trol ley lines through the country. He was the first, perhaps, who ever publicly advocated in the legislature the law against drunkenness on the public roads. He assisted in draft Ing .and supported the bill prohibiting the sale of intoxicating wines in pro hibition counties. He supported the measure to put a SIO,OOO tax on locker clubs. He vigorously opposed all bills to establish dispensaries. He first advocated in the senate a bill against speculating in farm prod ucts, and afterwards in the house as sisted in framing and passing the present law against bucket shops. He opposed and aided in defeating the measure to appoint a commission to encourage foreign immigration to the state, being in favor of the nat ural influx of good citizens, but op posed to the artificial stimulus of for eign immigration which would tend to bring in undesirable elements. He was one of the leading oppon ents of the convict lease system, and advocated the use of the convicts on the roads of- the state. He was largely instrumental, as chairman of the committee, in pass ing the measure giving a pension to all Confederate veterans owning less than 1,500, though he preferred no limit. He has always supported the cause of education, and liberal appropria tions to the common schools. He persistently championed the res olution to adopt the income tax amendment when it first came to the legislature in 1909, and was referred to in the Northern press as one of the foremost leaders in its favor. While he has always fought all bills in the Interest of special concerns and against the interest of the public, his friends point to Mr. Perry’s rec ord in progressive and constructive legislation, to show his close study of public questions, and that he has been in accord with the advanced pub lic sentiment on these subjects. SENATOR BACON'S RECORD. Instead of voting in the interest of the people, Senator Bacon voted with Aldrich for a duty of from $1.50 to $3.00 a thousand on lumber. He voted with Aldrich against free iron ore. He voted to strike out ‘‘rough and dressed lumber’’ from the farm ers’ free H»t bill, known as the Un derwood free list. He voted against free wood pulp and free printing pa per and other paper, and against free rice and free lemons, and free coal, when the farmers’ free list bill was up for action. He voted with Aldrich against free sugar from the Philip pines. No one could have cast these votes who had at heart the interest of the common people. He was rep resenting in these votes the iron and lumber and other capitalists, and not the people at large. In order to pro tect special interests he was giving countenance to the principle that has kept the South impoverished fop §0 years, and thus crippled himself and other Democrats In their debate on protection. He contended in the sen ate for the right of corporations to establish bureaus to promote immi gration and to even pay the passage money of immigrants through stale agents. This policy would flood our country with undesirable aliens, but was much urged by the ‘‘interests’’ In order to get cheap labor and per haps reduce the P ri ce pf cotton. He voted to permit the employment pf children under 12 in mUie and facto ries. when havhw needy parents. It woaMk be better for the government ■ to relieve the parents than sacrifice the children. He opposed and voted against the national, pure food law. The inaction and failure of such men as Mr. Bacon, who have been In office and had the opportunity, to more earnestly Insist upon the vigor ous use of the Federal power, alone equal to it, to curb the trusts and monopolies, ip today responsible for the conditions which oppress the people. 1 I I.
