HOLTON, Kas., July 2S.-Represen-
tative P. P. Campbell of the Third
Kansas district. "standpatter," in a
speech here tonight proclaimed the in
surgents to be iconoclasts who have
taken the course that has required
the least intellectual effort-denuncia-
ton"
when the weather is hot" he said,
"and mental effort is irksome, if pos
sible, the true patriot and friend of
the people, with a show of rare cour-
age, rises to the occasion and declares
the Republican majority of the house
and senate were in favor of a certain
measure, therefore, in the interest of
the common people, it must be opposed.
DEFENDS ON SUPPORTERS
whether the measure is good or bad
does not depend on the measure itself,
according to these mere critics and
fault-finders, but upon the personnel
of its supporters.
"Is the measure good? The Repub-
lican majority in the house and senate
are for it, and it is approved by the
president. The measure is therefore
bad, and these men opposed to it.
rs the measure bad? The Republi-
can majority in the house and senate
and the president oppose it. 1t is
therefore good and these support it.
AVOIDING THE ROCKS
'If the Republican majority in the
house and senate and the president
would avoid the rocks these men would
split up on them. If the Republican
majority in the house and senate and
the president would steer into harbor
these men would miss it.
THE president and the majority of
the Republicans of the house and sem
ate agreed upon a tariff law. These
men opposed it. Democrats and in
surgents said they wanted the tariff
reduced. The Payne bill carried a re-
duction in consumptive value in chem
icals, including a 54 per cent reduc-
tion in white lead, of $433, 199, SAG; in
earthenware and glassware of $128, 423,-
1922 in wood, including lumber, of
$3.50, ,S70, $50; in metals, including steel
and iron, of $1,221, ,955, $40; in sugar,
molasses and manufactures, of $780,,
965, ,95S; pulp, white paper and books,
SCI, ,628, ,055; sundry articles, $1719, 42S,-
500. The bill contained 654 reductions
in articles of necessity and common
use. The average ad valorem rate on
dutiable imports under the Dingley
law Was Z040 per cent, unOer INe
Payne law, 20.95 per cent-a reduction
of almost per cent on all dutiable
imports.
REPUBLICAN MEASURE
1.-THE Republican majority in the
house and senate were in favor of the
bill with these reductions, and voted
for it. Democrats and insurgents
working together voted against it.
Democrats and insurgents said they
wanted a law that would raise rev.
enue. The Republican majority in the
house and senate were in favor of the
Payne law and in eleven months it
raised enough revenue to make up a
deficit in our treasury amounting to
$57,00O000 and giving us a balance of
SIS, 900, 000 Democrats and insurgents
working and voting together voted
against this law.
Democrats and insurgents said they
wanted to tax the income of corpor-
ations to secure revenue and informa-
tion for proper use as to corporate
management. The Republican major
ity in the house and senate were in
favor of this provision in the Payne
tariff law and voted for the law and
the president approved.
Democrats and Insurgents working
and voting together voted against it,"
