Why Free Wool,

Representative Finly H. Gray,
in the house of representatives:
IA tariff on raw wool, if allow.
ed to remain. will nullify the
doctrine of tree necessaries, fur.
nish an argument to restore the
duties on lumber and hides,
call a halt to the further ex
tension of the free list in the
vital necessaries of life and de-
stroy the only principle under
which the people can hope for
relief from tariff exactions, the
principle that the taxing power
can only be lawfully invoked
for public purposes.
"If we want to be free from
the burdens of an excessive
tariff; if we want relief from
private monopoly; if we want
to escape tribute to the special
interests, we must, first, our
selves. renounce the right to
levy taxes for private purposes.
We can not invoke relief under
a principle while we deny and
violate it ourselves.
II, too, come from a wool
growing district, but I hope
that that fact will not deter me
from serving the greatest good
to the greatest number, nor
greatest good obligations to the
great consuming public, nor
lead me to act upon my fears
instead of my conviction of
justice and right. I hope I can
realize that, while part of the
people of my district have wool
to sell, all the people from my
district, including the wool
growers themselves, have
clothing to buy, and that right
to sell wool. And I hope I can
appreciate that the labc ring
man, when he looks into the
faces of his wife and children,
with winter impending, realizes
as great a responsibility before
him as the wool manufactures
who claims the right to draw
dividends on watered stock"
