Have The Ps o2le Really Ruled
During The Last Few Years?
BY CLID H. TAVENNER

Republican orators all over the
land are today, on the eve of the
Congressional elections. declar-
ing that the people have really
ruled through the Republican
party in Congress during the
last few years.
But if the people really ruled
at the special session of COL
gress why was the tariff on
plain white goods such as is use d
by women and children in every
family, increased 80 per cent?
II the people had really been N
control, is it reasonable to be-
lieve they would have made tn s
increase?
If the people had been in COM
mand is it reasonable to believe
they would have placed a duty
of 1O5 per cent on women's
woolen dress goods and at the
same time have permitted uncut
diamonds used only by the rich
to come in untaxed?
| Or IS it reasonable to believe
that if the people had been in
charge, they would have vote d
against $4,000 for children's
play grounds and then have
turned right around and voteo
S12, 900 for Speaker Cannon's s
automobile?
The answer to these queries
is: The people did not rule, but
the standpatters ruled.
There is one day every two
years, however, when the peo-
pie really do have matters in
! their own hands, OF e day on
