SUGAR SCHEDULE IS MASTER
 STROKE OF MIR. UNDERWOOD
BY WALTER HARPER

It is case of giving the poor people cheaper sugar by taking a different kind of sugar" from the man who has plenty and to spare The proposed excise tax will reach wealth and property that now escapes all the burdens of taxation. And yet the tax is one that will not hurt anyone. It is only per cent on incomes of over s50o0 per annum, For instance, the poor laboring man, the clerk or the coal miner who struggles along on an annual income of s6000 will only have to pay tax of Sl0 or i per cent of the excess 5000.
 Andrew Carnegie with his estimated income of s1s.000.0O0, will have To pay an excise tax of s1S0000
 The census bureau has just announced that each man, woman and child In the United States consumes each year S2 pounds of sugar. A saving of a few cents on the pound which the admission of free sugar will affect will help the Amer ican people some and this Is what MT. Underwood and the democrats desire to accomplish.
 X Tho underwood sugar schedule Is q master stroke in political economy It is a sugar coated pill that the republicans, including the President must swallow or choke.
