Omaha, Aug. 1s.-Nebraska farmers
have commenced on a line of action

holders of many millions of bushels,
they are going to hold their product
until they force a shortage and the

EWho could have believed that in such a
contest nearly every Democratic daily of the
South would have taken sides against the
poor?
Those that are not fighting the income tax,
are drenching it with ice-water.
The unexpected action of the Georgia legis-
lature has created such bad impression
abroad, and has given such backset to the
proposed amendment, that Governor Brown
might very we'll take into careful considera-
ton the suggestions of an extra session.

Georgia S Disgrace


The refusal of the Legislature to act favor
ably upon the income tax brings reproach
upon the State of Georgia.
Whom does a Democratic platform bind,
any way? For what puspose is it made?
Democratic Congressman treated it with
contempt during the extra session, and now
the Democratic legislatures are following suit.
Not only do the Democratic dailies fail to
against the income tax but Mr.. Hoke Smiths
paper, the Atlanta Jommaz actually finds
fault with the legislature of Alabama for act
ing favorably upon it.
The situation is simply amazing, and the
suspicion grows that evil influences are sys-
tematically at work.
If there was any one principle for which
the Democratic party might have been ex-
pected to stand hltched, it was the income tax
Bryanites and Clevelandites alike, cried for
It, Democratic babes you might say, were
raised on it. In county platforms, congress
slonal platforms, state platforms, national
platforms, the income tax has ever been
leading attraction. The question has been uni
versally debated, thoroughly understood, and
unanimously approved.
When the statesmanly alliance between
Senator Bailey and the Western Republican
insurgents made it certain that Baileys In
come Tax bill would be passed in the United
States Senate, Aldr1ch and Taft Unanswered
to side-trac1 Bailey, by referring the whole
matter to the legislatures of the states,-and
the Democrats now bal1 at their dear old pet
and say that Alabama has been too hasty in
standing for Democratic princi pie
The Macon Telegraph intimates that this
proposed income tax is Republican trick
The Atlanta Journal says we must have time
to scratch our heads and think. The Houston
Post defends the Georgia Senate, and so it
goes.
The whole situation is almost unbelievable.
What? The South and west opposed to
the income tax? Nine men out of ten, in those
two sections, are heartily in favor of it, and
the politicians who are basing their calcula-
tons upon a contrary opinion are heaping up
future trouble for themselves.
There are two unanswerable arguments in
favor of the income tax:
(1) 1T taxes wealth instead of poverty It
takes a small toll out of net income, whereas
other taxes deprive you of a portion of what
you have got whether you have any net en-
come of not. Besides, it will hit the two rich
est sections hardest, and compel the North
and East to pay something for the tariff pro-
lection which they enjoy at the expense of the
West and South:
(2) 1t opens up a new source of Federal
revenue, and thereby prepares the way for the
reduction of the internal tariff
The capitalists of the whole country are
fighting this proposed income tax. The rich
are working with all their might to keep Fed

The Smile of Mr.. Taft

Il
Do you find yourself inclined to grow dis
satisfied with those magazine and newspaper
pictures which represent the varying phases
of the Presidents smile? Are you coming to
fear that there is a disquieting levity about
Mr.. Taft? With his everlasting smile, his
indispensable golf, his regularity of attend
ance at ball games, his insistence upon per-
sonal pleasures, luxuries and vacation,-isn't
he creating an unfavOrable impression upon
serious minded people?
1t is a tremendous responsibility that rests
upon President Taft. In no small degree, his
example and his purpose and his work Cor
failure to work., will have it's influence for
good or evil upon 9O,OOO,O0O people. The re-
alization of this mighty fact is enough to So
Der any intelligent, conscientious man.
1t is possible that Mr.. Cleveland harped
somewhat too much upon "the awful respon-
sibilities" of the position of President; but, as
between the too frequent repetition of that
phrase and the smile-and let s-play habit of
Mr.. Taft, we give decided preference to the
Cleveland repetitions of very solemn truth
In a sense, the President is the ruler of this,
the greatest Republic the world has ever
known. He has greater powers than the King
of Great Britain or the Emperor of Germany
BY the use Of patronage and personal ascend
ancy, he can exert almost irresistible sway
over Congress. Upon occasion, he can ''pacz"
the Supreme Court. If he so wills, he can ig-
more its decisions, reducing the Court to
impotence, as Jefferson, jackson and Lincoln
did and as Cleveland ought to have done,
when Wall Street bribed one of the Justices
to change his opinion over night on the In
come Tax.
Next year, when the infamous Dick bill
goes into effect, the President will have the
authority to order the maizitia Of Georgia to
Illinois, to quell strike-riots; or to march Mas
sachusetts militia into Louisiana. Governors
and legislatures will be shorn of prerogatives
which they have enjoyed since the foundation
of the Government.
In other words, the President will be our
War Lord, and the National Guard will be
patterned after the German landwehr. when
Gen. Cutting of California was doing his ut
most to pass this measure through the Sind
Congress, [ was able to arouse the Democrats
to a sense of its menace to the states and to
democratic principles. Col w. G. Oates,
Chairman of the Special judiciary Commit
tee threw his authority against the bill, and it
was defeated
What IS Mr.. Taft's pzam,-bis purpose? He
is master of the situation. He need fear no Sen
ator or Representative. Just as John Ran
dolph shattered his own prestige when he col
lided with President Jefferson, so the haugh-
ty Roscoe Conzling tripped himself when he
declared war on President Garfield. IF Mr..
Taft would assert himself, the New England
Senatorial clique would find resistance vain
and ruinous But q0h0t ere Mr.. Taft's pol
icies?
