ROOSEVELTS CREED

There was warm political dis.
cussion in the senate Wednesday
between Senator Bristow, republic
can of Kansas, and Senator Will
liams. democrat of Mississippi.
Bristow complained because
Roosevelt's correspondence regard
ing the proposed suit against the
Harvester trust was submitted to
the senate at its request. He
lauded Teddy to the skies and
sought to show that President Taft
had played dirty, mean trick on
Teddy by making the correspond
ence public ir answer to a resolu-
ton of the senate.
Senator Williams replied to
Bristow and in the course of his
remarks read the following parody
on the Apostles Creed:
II believe i'm Theodore Roose-
velt, maker If noise and strife,
and in ambition, his only creed
(my Lurd.) He was born of the
love uf power and suffered under
William II. Taft; was crucified,
dead and buried. He descen ed

arose again from the jungles and

FACTS REGARDING
THE INCOME TAX

Congressman Russell of Missouri
the other day in the house had
the following article on the in
come tax taken from the Cheyenne,
Wyoming, State Leader read into
the record. The bill is now pend
ing in the senate.
"Rich Men Bear Small Burden
in Country-Own 80 Per Cent and
Shoulder 10. Per Cent of Burden
Significant Story.
Is it just that the men who own
80 per cent of the wealth of the
United States should shoulder but
10 per cent of the burden of taxa
tion for running the government?
The democratic house of repre-
sentatives believes that it is not.
and hence the passage of the excise
income-tax bill, which levies tax
of one per cent on incomes of SIS,
600 a year.
This does not mean that all
persons having more than $4,000
must pay q tax on the excess of
that sum. 1t means that those
who have an annual income or
profit of more than $4,000 must
pay the one percent on the excess
of $4,000. 1t will be necessary
for man to draw a higher salary
than $4,000 a year or have a
capitalized sum of about 100000
before he is called upon to pay one
per cent tax on that portion in
excess of 1000.
This is class legislation, the
standpatter and protectionists say

These facts nay read strange. but
they are facts and will not be con.
tradicted.
The United Staest is practically
the only one of the great nations
today that raises practically all
Of it's revenue by taxing the people
according to their needs and prac-
tically according to their poverty
and allows wealth to go untax ed so
far as the money to build battle

for reform; but IL such system is
unjust, the excise income tax is a
move in the right direction to
remedy it."
