should have an income tax and a cor.
poration earnings tax enacted by con.

nings Bryan, as he stopped in Sioux
Falls on his way to Madison and
Watertown.
Il see no reason why one should be
used as the alternative for the other.
In order to get them, we must obtain
amendments to the constitution. Not
that l believe that congress would be
unable to enact constitutional law,
but | do not think we should take any
chances. The income measures should
include the tax on individual incomes
and the incomes or corporations. Our
last platform demanded an amend.
ment to the constitution authorizing
an income tax, and take it that all
democrats will vote for 1t. But there
is no reason why an income tax could
not be incorporated in the present
tariff bill"
Can you depend on your democrats
in the senate to vote right on the in.

Well" he said, hesitatingly, I'VE
have some senators down there who

they will be given better opportunity
