Not an American Theory.

Not American Theory.
IAN income tax Is a scheme Of mon
archical governments only, which always
sanction class legislation, but which Is
never adopted by republics, except from
dire necessity during the emergency Of
war. II is neither Democratic nor a
Republican principle, but 1t is socialistic
In its inception, un-American in its the
ory, unequal in its operation, and neces-
sarily offensive In its execution.
"It is unjust because IL Is unnecessary
for purposes of revenue. 1t Is an lily dis
puised sectional attack upon the industry,
thrift, enterprise and vast business inter-
ests of the Empire state, which should be
vigorously resented by the men of all par
ties. 1t is an odious tax for which the
people have never expressed their APP
proval at the polls. In my Judgment, it
will surely bring disaster TO the political
party that enacts IL.
at is clear that IL would not be adopted
by congress II senators would vote ac-
eording to their conscientious convictions
rather than n pursuance OF dicker and
q contemplate compromise, founded upon
no principle and tolerated only as a mis-
cradle makeshift or excused only rs q
temporary expedient. l am opposed to
compromises whore questions of essential
principle are involved
"It is immaterial whether the scheme
is popular or unpopular, or whether it
taxes the many for the benefit of the few
or a few for the benefit of the many. It
is equally indefensible, vicious and un-
reasonable.
"As representative, citizen and a
partisan, have opposed this income tax
folly from the start; | am opposing 1t
now, and shall continue my opposition
to the end"
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
calling upon the United States senators
from New York TO refuse TO vote for the
tax. and urging the business men OF other
localities TO take like action.
