STOOD THE TEST.

The Democratic party two years
AGO ia the campaign bitterly fought
what is now the new tax system. Il
succeeded in persuading a great
MANY people at the time that the
ueonle,s taxes were to be largely IN
creased under the new laws, but the
situation is different now and there
are thousands of Democrats who
are honest enough TO admit that
thew were fooled by The party lead
ers. :. and5led into error. They were
fold after the laws became effective
70 watch their tax tickets and they
have taken the advice with the re-
sult that they have learned their
axes IN most cases have been mater
ially reduced. They are convinced
on this subject and are frank tot
admit that the principle of the new
laws is right. as we'll as their opera
ton. i
Still, there are few who insist
that we should still wait. But
why? The principle of the laws
and the laws themselves are opera
tive and right. The first test OF
anything usually tells whether 1t IS
RIGHT or wrong and the tax laws
have stood the first test all right.
There is nothing haphazard about
the system now. nothing to bring a
shadow of doubt. But even if there
were. the party that enacted them
did 50 for the benefit Of the people
and will continue to make them 50
they viii be even more beneficial.
4 political party that is an enemy
to them would destroy them instead
Of building them up and making
them stronger and better. Hence,
it is an easy matter for the people
to decide what political party has
the best interests of the people at
heart in this State.

came out squarely for nomination
and the voters knew them before

On the part of Democracy it Is
not true that the voters had the
slightest hand in the selection Of
the legislative and county ticket OF
that party. It was done by a few
of that party, who themselves had
not been long familiar with the
fact these men were to be chosen
Certainly then from the real situa-

hesitate in concluding that the

They have nothing on which to base
the claim that the masses Of their
party are for them for the reason
there has been no test of the mat
ter. Because the masses were not
given an opportunity to express
themselves or to have part IN the
selection of a ticket. Indeed, the
masses we're not permitted to even
indicate their choice.
