outside of the already projected inter.
ests are demanding a tariff on print
paper. We should be glad 60 learn Just
what reason Senator Taliaferro had
for the position he took.
To this request for an explanation
Senator Taliaferro replies as follows:
Washington. ID. C.. July 10. 1909.
don Frank l.. Mayes. Pensacola. Fla:
My Dear Mr.. Mayes-I notice H.
your issue of the 9Th instant an edi-
,orial, Senator Taliaferro Should Eek

have tried throughout, the consid
Grafton of the tarin bill 10 vote con.
sistently for revenue duty on every
article of import excepting only the
accessories Of life. I rAognize that
the tariff Is a tax. and kiIew no good
or just reason why newspapers should
be exempted while others are required
10 Tay.
The present duty ON print paper Is
IS per ton. under which. In its several
classifications. II paid a revenue Of
about 100000. My vote was for a
duty OF 81 per ton or q substantial
reduction. -.
With kind regards.
Very truly yours.
JAS. p. TALIAFERRO.
We do not think the Senator's ex.
PLANTATION Is satisfactory. II is mere
~ an assertion that the tariff on print
paper Is a tax and that the newspa-
pers are trying TO be exempted from
taxes which others are required 60
pay.
On behalf OF every newspaper In
the country we repel the suggestion
and challenge the logic OF the asser
ton itself. No newspaper objects Co
paying any proper tax for the sup
port of the Government, but In this
case the Government does not get the
tax-it goes TO the pockets of the pro-
tected interests which control the dc.
nestle paper supply.
BY Senator Taliaferro's own state
ment II Is shown that OF the millions
OF dollars OF paper annually used by
the American publishers the Govern.
ment derives In taxes" only the pal
try sam OF about 100000. This. In
itself. ought to be- sufficient answer
to the Senator'S proposition that Thu |
