Eh the tariff This argument does
not seem sound to us on any analy-
sis. 1t was never openly presented,
but it weighed heavily with the mem.
hers Of the legislature of Louisiana.
The thing for Louisiana to do is
to give its endorsement to the in.
come tax, not because an income
tax is Democratic measure or a Re-
publican measure, but because it is
fair that the people who secure the
greatest benefit from government,
the people who earn or have the
greatest incomes, should pay the
greatest part of the burden Of gov.
eminent. 1t is part of the system
of relieving the masses of the peo-
pie from the burden of taxation and
putting it upon the classes. We do
not believe that any person should
be entirely exempt from taxation I'M
less it be the parents of large fami.
lies of children or old people. But
We do believe that the men who
have accumulated honestly or dis
honestly a great proportion of the
wealth of the country should pay a
great proportion of the burden of
taxes in that country, and the best
way to get at these people and help
rediStribute wealth is by a gradual
ed income tax.

SECTION s, THE GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE.


Representative McClelland, Of AGA.
dia, has introduced in the House a
constitutional amendment to revive
Section as a means of protecting
from Acknowledgement white citizens
who are unable to register under
either the property or educational
qualifications. The Convention of
1898 gave the right to register and
vote to every male who on or before
Jan. l, 1867, was entitled to vote in
Louisiana or any other State; to the
sons and grandsons (of age when the
Constitution was adopted) Of such per-
sons and to every male of foreign
birth who was naturalized prior to
Jan. l, 1898, provided, however, such
persons so enrolled themselves prior
I'd Aug 81, 1898.
Mr.. McClelland would open this roll
annually between May Is and August
81. AS the number taking advantage
Of the section must become less and
less every year. the proposition will
inevitably work itself out, even if
no limit Is placed, for no descendant
of an ante,war voter would be eligi-
BILE unless he was 81 years old ip
1898 nor any person of foreign birth
naturalized after that year.

LET LOUISIANA ENDORSE IN
COME TAX.
y. 0. Item:

n. o. Item:
Dwight Braman, president of So
called Law and Order League, of the
state of New York, is sending out a
hysterical appeal to the legislature
OF the state of Louisiana urging that
they defeat the income tax amend
ment, which grants to congress the
power to levy a graduated income
tax. The gentleman's arguments
come from rs Broad street, New York
and our recollection is that % Broad
street is right around the corner
from Wall street,
When the income tax amendment
10 the constitution was last before
the Louisiana legislature, the argu-
ment that prevailed most strongly at
the time was that the market for Sc
curities, and obligations of the state,
of the city, and of the people would
be narrowed, because the federal
government would be granted the
right to impose a tax upon income
derived from these activities. We
do not believe that it would be just
to impose such tax, and we do feel
that it is going to be possible to de-
feat at Washington any unjust leg
is'ation in the future.
Another argument that weighed
most strongly was that we wished to
see the protective tariff principle up
held as it related to sugar and rice
and lumber, and that we must, there
fore, vote against an income tax be-
cause an income tax represented the
best method for raising federal reve-
nue.. 1t was claimed that if the gov
