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.
