American consumers in twelve
month period more than $50. 100000
The revision of the chemical sched-
ule would have effected a saving to
American consumers of about S17, ,000,-
000.by reducing the price of all chem
icals and at the same time the revenue
to the Government would have been in
creased.
The House passed a bill providing
for an excise tax OIL incomes, thereby
transferring a considerable portion of
the tax burdens to the wealthy, which
are escaping:their proper proportion.
The Excise Tax bill passed by the
House provides for the extension of
the Corporation Tax Law so as to in
clude individuals. firms and copartner-
ships. 1t accomplishes the very desir-
able purpose of transferring tax bur-
dens from those less able to carry
them to the shoulders of the wealthy,
who have heretofore escaped from a
proper share of taxation for the sup
port of the Government.
The present burden of indirect taxa
ton falls upon people having incomes
of less than $4,000 per year. A man
whose net earnings amount to but
Sc, 600 year would under this bill pay
no tax. A man earning $4,000 per
year would pay nothing on the first

FRITZ Scheff at Lexington.

1t will be new and novel FRITZ
Scheff who will appear in "The Love
Wager" at the Lexington Opera House
Monday evening. October %. for the
popular prima donna this year has a
role which requires her to start in the
first act as girl of Ia, wearing short
dresses that come only to the knees.
The attractive picture thus presented
when Miss Scheff comes on the stage
as hoyden with rag doll. can better
be imagined than described. Those
who have seen her in the modish
trained gowns of the Ru de la Paix
or Fifth avenue, will not believe the
transformation possible until they
have actually witnessed the prima
donna in her new opera.
AS the course of the three acts per-
mits her to grow I'D Miss Scheff ap-
pears successfully in gowns more ap-
prOpriate to young womanhood, and in
the final act when her three younger
sisters have been married and she has
herself .becomeSthe head of the family
she wearsa stunning white and gold
gown which is one of the smartest of
this years frocks. All of Miss Scheff's
gowns, by the way. are American
made, and all of her seven costumes,
including her hats. are from the same
Fifth Avenue shop. This is a sDlen-
did tribute to home industry, tor Miss
Scheff goes abroad every summer and
could no doubt pickup everything she
desires in thesway:of. .clothesIwhlle do
ing Paris and'London, but..she iprefers
to have all of her clothes made in

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
A Democratic Congress.

If the American people wish to give
credit to whom credit is due. hey
ought to support the Democratic can
didates for Congress, and thus place
their stamp of approval on the record
of the House of Representatives.
Since January /, 1912, Democratic
House has passed tariff bills which
would have reduced the high cost of
living $3.50, 900, 900 a year.
Every bill which in the slightest de-
gree provided relief for the masses
was vetoed by the President.
The Farmers Free List bill, passed
by the House. would have saved .the
people $500, 600. 600 annually. This bill
removed:the duty from agricultural i'm
plements, of which $50, 900. 600 worth
were exported land only. S165. 200, 900
n.were..im imported during the last
fiscal year; sewing machines, fence
wire. bagging and cotton ties, lumber,
shingles. meat, flour, salt, leather,
shoes. etc.
Under our new tariff law a barrel
of flour valued at 81 abroad is taxed 25
per cent. ad valorem at oul port, or 81
on the barrel. This bill removed the
entire tax.
Beef valued at SIS. 80 per 100 pounds
abroad pay a tariff tax equivalent to
25. SO percent. or $1.5O per 100 pounds.
This.bill proposed to remove this en-
tire tax.
hesDemocratic wool bill proposed
to reduce the average rate of duty on
wool manufactures from 90.10 per
cent to 1885 per cent. President
Taft's veto of this measure means that
the American people will pay $50. 600.
900 more for their clothes this year
than they would have If President Taft
had signed it.
A wool hat valued at 81 abroad and
taxed 78 cents upon its,entry Unto the
United States under the present tariff
law, would have been taxed only 49
cents.
FLANNEL underwear valued at $27 per
dozen suits is taxed under the present
law at the equivalent ad valorem rate
of about 06'per cent. The Democrat
ic bill proposed to reduce this to 40
percent. A suit OF ready made wool
en- clothing worth in Europe $40 is
taxed under the present law at the
equivalent ad .valorem rate of Is per
cent, or $3.50. The Democratic bill
proposed to reduce this tax from IS to
49sper cent, and save the consumer
So. 60 per suit.
The cotton bill reduced the duties
on cotton manufactures from AZ. IL per
cent to 27.06 per cent, a reduction of
the. tariff burdens under this schedule
from not less than 5000. 900. 900 to
about::S112, 600, 900 for year.
Mems cotton half hose valued at
eighty cents per dozen pairs wholesale
are taxed under the present law at
the equivalent ad valorem rate of
about go per cent. The Democratic
cotton bill proposed to reduce this to
40 per cent.
1t proposed to reduce the tax on
cotton th,ead from an equivalent rate
of 81 per cent to Is per cent. A suit
Of ready made cotton clothing valued
at the foreign port at Sc is taxed under
our present law so per cent ad valo-
rem, or So a suit. This Democratic

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-02-01

THE Brush Runabout is the embodiment of an original
III idea-no other car just like it.
Its not a miniature big car, with big car compIexty without
big car stability.
It's designed especially to serve a certain end-to provide
an adaptable. dependable. economical car that anyone can
drive, everyone can use and no one, who depends on quick,
economical transportation can afford to be without.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-02-01

Its primary strength is its simplicity-eas to handIe-free
from mechanical difficulty.
It's secondary strength is its dependability- proved in the
hands of users by remarkable service in scores of businesses.
And finally, its low cost of operation and maintenance,
together with low initial cost. make it possible for anyone to
own it. Hundreds use it because it's cheaper than a horse
and buggy.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-02-01

It's low enough in price to be within the reach of everyone
It's adaptable enough to be of use to anyone
That's why it's Everymans Car
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-02-01

CIMPLICITY appeals especially to the woman.
~ Fear Of mechanical trouble is a bugbear
She often lacks the strength to crank a big cal
and the agility to steer it and shift levers in
crowded traffic. She can handle the Brush with
ease. She never worries about It's mechanism
She can control it readily. She can give herself
up to the delights of the road.
What better proof could be offered than the
famous Alternately boys trip, from New York
to Oklahoma after meeting Roosevelt. Nine
year-old Louie drove the car after only three
lessons, and six-year-old Temple often cranked it,
They never had a bit Of trouble.
Your boys-or your wife-can drive il as easily.
1t would mean health and pleasure for them.
And it's a smart-looking little car, too.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-02-01

ECONOMY-there isn't any car IN the world
- that's in IL with the Brush for economy.
That's easily demonstrated. The Rural Free
Delivery service pays small salaries ~ carriers
and horses eat a good share Of the pay.
But the r. +. ID. finds the Brush will beat the
horse hollow when II comes to q low cost. Here's
one examplc-and there are plenty others:
Fred IngersoI, Q rural free delivery man Of Pasadena.
Cal. has a Brush car which has been run over two years.
II has travelled $4,000 miles, stopped and started $4,000
timcs, and the engine has turned over 1900 hours. StHI
