s.Yss, sir. I am in favor Of allowing
every man to hold any office he likes, as
long as he likes, give him his salary as
long as he wants it, and when he gets
through present him with chromo.''
care you going to abolish the , per cent.
assessment schemes?"
''That assessment business was no limo
vation 1t is an evil that has been handed
down to US from the Democrats in the days

"How do YOU feel OF the tariff qUes-

in favor of Il revision OF the present tariff.

Would you abolish all internal revenue
taxes?"
Il would, if it could be done. But I am
opposed to removing the tax on whisky
and tobacco long we have a.
public debt and soldiers pensions to pay.

all Internal revenue taxes We will be
obliged to have tariff iog revenue. This
is undesirable. OF course Ike government
could tax sugar, coffee. tea and tho like.
which would bring in all the money the
government would need to support it. But
as long as We have debt we will have to
allow the Ia. On whisky and tobacco to re-
