A Mean InslnHatlon.
From the Little Rock Democrat

From the Little Rock Democrat
Sometime ago the Washington
correspondent of The New York
Sun, the organ of Wall street
millionaires, who are resisting an
income tax and endeavoring to de-
feat the Wilson tariff bill through
the use of a corruption fund, sent
that paper u dispatch, in which it
was charged that Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, and Senator Mills, OF
Texas, the subcommittee having
in charge the tariff bill, had &C.
cretly changed a certain clause Oi
the income tax feature SO as to tax
and crush the building and loan
associations of the country. Oi
course, this charge WAS false, but
it was in line with other under
handed methods employed to de.
feat an income tax. 1t was designed
to excite the opposition of build.
ing associations, and create a SYM
pathy among laboring classes who
are not c0nversant with the true
provisions of the bill.
The insinuatlOn that Jones, OF
Arkansas, and Mills, of Texas, ever
inserted 4 line in the bill that
would initiate against the labor
ing men is rs false as 1t is mean
and contemplate. Section fifty.
nine of the bill, as 1t now stands,
says:
"And, provided further, that this
act shall not apply to the income
or dividends received or paid by
such building and loan associa-
tlons as are organized under the
laws of any state or territory, or,
of the District of Columbia, and
which do not make loans except
to shareholders for the purpose
only of enabling such shareholders
to provide for Themselves homes"
A man might have 100000 in
vested in building association
stock his income from that source
alone might reach $4,000 q year.
In that case it would be right and
proper that he should pay an in
come tax, but under the above pro-
vision neither the income or divi.
dends of = labOring mans building
association stock would be taxed.
And very few capitalists in this or
any other Southern state carry q
sufficient amount of building asso-
citation stock to come within the
range of an income tax. Senator
Jones has not seen fit to enter into
a controversy with The New York
Sun to explain a condition that
never existed. The income of men
who own large capital will be taxed
if it reaches $4,000 per annum,
whether their money is invested in
building association stock or rail
road bonds, but the intimation
from q certain irresponsible source
that Senator Jones has assisted in
formulating a measure that will
smash the life out of the building
association system is false and

One Man Power.
From the News Record.

Ium tue ScWs nctoru
Nothing better in the way of
criticism of the Inconsistency of
the Populite, when he is clothed
with a bit of authority, has come
under our eye recently than the
following from the Arkansas Ca
zette, which says:
The strongest speeches that are
made against the one man power
are delivered by Populite orators,
and those who exercise this power
to the extreme degree are the
POpulite Governors. Gov. Waite
would be tyrant if permitted to
have his own way and SO would
Lewelling. Both have q weakness
for calling ont the militia on the
slightest provocation, aud nothing
disturbs the peace of a State more
than the declaration of martial law
POpulite Governors can warp and
twist q law to q worse purpose
than q Philadelphia lawyer. In.
stead of enforcing the law they
take every opportunity of violating
it and abusing the power entrust.
ed to them. Tillman, of South
Carolina, is a Populist, and he is
the latest to disregard the funda.
mental laws of the country and
disgrace the office he holds. His
orders to his constables to invade
the sacred homes Of private citi.
zens and make unreasonable
searches and seizures is in viola
tion to the Constitution and is an
act that none but Populite Gov.
ernor could be guilty of.
