mart of me law Of the land There Is IN
me platform no suggestion of an attempt
Ia dispute the authority Of the supreme
court. The party is simply pledged to
suse ALI the constitutional mower which
remains after that decision, or which
NAV come from IFS reversal bv the court.
as II NAV hereafter be constituted
us there any disloyalty in that pledge?
For a hundred years the supreme court
of the United States has sustained the
principle which underles the income tax.
Some twenty years ago this same court
sustained, without a dissenting voice, an
income tax law almost identical with the
one recently overthrow Has not fu-
ture court as much right to return to
the judicial presidents of a century as
the present court had to depart from
them?
when courts allow rehearings they
admit that error Is possible; the late de-
cisiOn against the income tax was rem
dered by a majority of one after rehear-
ing
"While the money question overshadows
all other questions In Importance, l de-
sire it distinctly understood that l shall
offer no apology for the income tax plank
of the Chicago platform.
The income tax is not new, nor is 1t
based upon hostility to the rich. The sys-
TEN is employed in several of the most
important nations in Europe. and every
income tax law now upon the statute
books I'm any land, so far as / have been
able to ascertain, contains an exemption
clause. While the collection of income tax
in other countries does not make it neces-
yet 1t ought to moderate the language
of those who denonnce the income tax
as an assault upon the Wel-to-do.
Not only shall l refuse to apologize
Tor the advocacy OF an income tax law
by the national convention, put L shall
also retuse 10 apologize Tor the exercise
by II OF the right TO dissent from de-
cislon or the supreme court
NOW let me ask you 10 consider the
paramount question OF TINS campaign

sary TO defend the principle OF bimetai-
lism. No national party during the en-
