attendance at the above meeting which showed

were willing to show their good will towards

their taxable property little more than one
| third, or to the amount of S53 900, as per the

The lower house Of Congress voted
last Saturday to give the people lower
taxes. A few Demoerats-six-voted
to keep taxes up; and few Republl-
ns--three-voted to reduce them.
Among the three was Brewer, of North
Carolina He voted for the Mills bill
because it provides for the repeal Of
the tobacco tax, and ne well knew
that if he voted against this the trump
ct which summons TO the political res
direction would never reach his ear.
There were a number OF pairs; among
them Mr.. Randall, who secured pair
against the bill. Mr.. Foran, Demo
crat, OF Ohio, did not vote; he was OPP
posed TO the bin but did not wish to
record himself against his patty. The
majority of IS for the bill was better
than had Deen anticipated. 1t has now
gone to the Senate, and if that body
which is Republican, does not pass it..
I the country will know where to place
the responsibility for maintaining war
taxes in time of peace. A Democrat
ic President stands ready to sign the
| bill when it reaches him. Nothing
stands between the people and lower
taxes, the repeal of the tobacco tax,
and the modification Of the internal
revenue system except the Republican
