There Will Be No Extra Session.

that Governor Brady will give the matter consideration

Many who do believe in prohibition law at ALL held,
when political platforms were being made that state wide
prohibition would be equitable and effective than
county option But their opinions given weight,
1t said that state wide prohibition could not be

on. The great weight will rest with
the least able TO pay and when the
time comes that our public lands are
all gone and public resources ex-
hausted, and the poor become poor
er and more numerous that wealth
will be glad to escape the wrath to
come by paying its proportion of the
burden of the government.
We are the only civilized govern
ment on the face of the earth today
boasting as we do of our equality of
rights and freedom. In fact we are
the only government that ever exist
ed in the history OF the world with
out the legal power to tax wealth
for the support of the national gov
eminent Can anyone think of that
and be at ease? Here is a free gov
ernment of equal rights and yet we
have not the constitutional power to-
day to put one cent of taxes for the
support of the national government
upon the most lucrative form of
wealth in this country.
1t is the most subtle, the most mis-
leading and the most damnable sys-
tenn that was ever conceived for the
pauperizing Of the masses and the
enriching of the few. Can you i'm
agine a more potent instrument for
building up an aristocracy of wealth
in a democracy of paupers?

20 something else? And is Il not plain
so long as we have got to have reve-
nue, that if you cut out duty on
one article, you've got to raise more
revenue on another article? In other
words. if we proceeded in the cut
and found things which ought to go
upon the free list in order to save
the masses, how could you place
them there unless you had some other
means to raise taxes? Are you not
in saying that we will put that $780,
100000 and other amounts upon
the accumulated and untaxed wealth
of the country? / undertake to say
that you will never reduce the tariff
in this country so as to benefit the
mass of the people, until you recon
srruct our. whole taxing system.
may be wrong in this, but as at pres
ent advised, ] have no doubt of it.
But suppose, as you say, that this
extravaganza is to go on and that
there is no hope of stopping it. Still
it seems to me that we ought, in the
name of all that is equitable and
just, if we are to have this extrava-
gance, distribute it more equally.
Upon what theory can it be said that
the burdens of the national govern
ment whether economically or ex-
ayagantly incurred, snail all be
placed upon cOnsumption-upo
what we may eat and what we must
wear, and nothing upon accumulated
wealth? Upon what theory can il be
said that the laborer with large
family must pay practically as much
TO support the national government
as the man with millions and who
car pay and never miss t?. DO you
think it either Democrat or Repub-
lican, speaking not in a partisan way
but in a governmental sense, to say
to the man who has had to pay a
thousand dollars for what he eats
and wears and has no income left at
the end of the year, that he must
sustain the same burden toward the
national government, as another
man who pays the same amount for
what he eats and wears and yet has
an income of several millions? Why
would it not be better to equalize
this burden. or in accordance with
the equality of burden. there will be
equality of opportunity.

Are they not the application of the

men in the struggle for existence?
Can you think of anything which is
more unequal, unjust, infamous and
tyrannous than for one man to pay
upon his property 80 per cent more
than another? Yet, / say to you
that that condition exists in this

Economical County Board.

The present board of County Commissioners is to be
congratulated and commended for the and intelli-
gence with which it has managed the business of the
county Stiicest economy has been practced in all its
dealings and great exercised in conducting the
ties business
The tax levy of 1920 declared by the board only five
cents higher than last year and five lower than the
two years prior to 1908 This will be surprise to many
especially in view of the extensive road building and inn
provements made by the board The state tax was con
sidelaby higher this year otherwise the tax levy would
nave been lower than last year.
There always strong pressure upon the board for APP
populations for roads, bridges and other public improve
ments Often the men who complain most about high
taxes are the most nsstent for public improvements.
1T places the board in trying position and men who can
conduct affairs meet the legitimate demands upon

SENATOR BORAHREPLIESTO
ATTACK ON INCOME TAX

Senator Borah sent the following
to the Statesman in reply to a recent
editorial in the Lewiston Tribune
against the income tax The article
contains so much information on this
measure that should be of interest to
every American citizen that we re-
produce same in full:
Editor Tribune: have just read
your article against the Income Tax.
Approaching. as do always, your
great ability to present your cause.
ly. feel disposed to present the other
but disagreeing with you so earnest
side.
We agree entirely as to the extrav-
agance of our government. This
spirit of extravaganza is in the fam
lily, in social life, and prevades our
whole political system A few men
in the senate have begun war upon
this criminal waste of public money
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
were cut out of the appropriation
bills, as the last sessions record will
disclose. They feel greatly en-
couraged as the estimates being
made for the next year are said to
be greatly below those heretofore
made l have no doubt, however,
that in spite of all which can or will
be done, that so long as our present
system of taxation continues that
extravaganza will in some degree,
continue also.
have always believed and l still
believe, that an income tax will teach
economy in public expenditures. You
will never have such economy until
public opinion is thoroughly aroused
on the subject. 1t it experience and
the teaching of history that the best
way to interest those of means and
OF great influence in economy of pub
lie expenditure is to go to them direct
and to call upon them for specific
sums of money to run the govern
ment. II will not be long until they
take an active interest i'm the question
of how that money is being expended.
But what concern will the man have
about public expenditures, who has
an income of $1,000, 900 and pays but
very little taxes to the natiOnaltete
very little more taxes to the national
government than the farmer who has
an income of $1,000?
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1909-09-16

In the debate in the senate on this
subject, you win recall that the
writer of this letter did not overlook
the question of extravaganza. l
quote from my remarks at that time:
But l advocate it (income taxi
for another reason-and this will
seem strange. / have no doubt, to
some-and that is as a teacher of
economy in public expenditures. For
more than a hundred years we have
been making speeches in favor of
retrenchment and curtailing public
expenditures, and as consistently and
persistently voted the other way It
is a notorious fact in our political
history that the congresses at which
the voice of retrenchment has been
the loudest have been followed in
yaribly by congresses in which the
appropriation was largest.
I'VE knew when we met here last
TALL that we were facing a deficit. We
knew that there was the cry going
dp all over the country that there
should be a revision Of the tariff
downward, and we know that in the
midst of universal peace and of pros
perity we were actually contemplate
ing putting a tax upon the necesar-
les of life which we do not produce
in this country.
then endeavored to show that
only by arousing public opinion and
interesting those to whom the ex-
penses of the government were car
ried in specific and definite form,
could we secure retrenchment so
Inuch needed.
But again. how are you going to
raise themoney, which we must act
ually have. after we get down, if we
ever do, to an economical basis ?
This is a large and expensive govern
ment at best When the special ses-
sion met we were expanding about
S6,000O00 a year and had a deficit
of near $lOO,O0O.O0O. You will a.
gree with me that considerable mon
ey had to be raised. therefore by tax
alton. It was easy to say cut down
the duties and put the necessaries of
life on the free list, but until you
found some other way to raise taxes
how were you going to do it? There
is no duty that / know of in the bills
passed that does not bring in large
revenue, and is, therefore. not pro-
hibitive Let us take for an illus
tratiOn, sugar 1t is a necessary OF
life. Suppose, in order to help the
great mass of the people, we had put
it on the free list BY doing so we
would have deprived the government
of $6O,0OO,O0O a year revenue, for
amount of money. is it not plain that
after we had taken il off of sugar
from this source alone we realize that
that we would have had to put it on

! minutes before Jim and Bess met iu
an embrace that lasted for most inn
proper length of time
Bess had secured a mount for Jim
and after the prison authorities had
! congratulated him on his pardon, the
two set ont Tor home together.
Bess' joyful ride to the prison was

out how Tom had stolen the note Bess

spread all through the country. and the
girls fight for her lover was heraIded
everywhere.
The jury soon brought in its verdict
There had been no charge o. murder.
for it was found that Tom killed the
tramp in self-defenser according 10
