REALLY A TAX ON INDUSTRY
In No Other Way Can underwood's
Absurd Excise Tax" Be Prop
erly Designated.

Chairman Underwood defines his alb
surd special income tax bill C"excise
tax" he sophistically calls it, an EFF
fort to tax the wealth of the country"
What nonsense! Everybody who
has even glanced through the bill
knows 1t is nothing of the sort. 1t is
tax on industry and earning capao-
ity. 1t is tax on the effort to earn
a living.
1t is in an entirely different cate
CORY from the corporation tax, which
Is made false pretext for 1t and
flimsy plea for its constitutionality.
For the excise tax" on the net earn
ings of corporations is a tax on the
conferred privilege to do business as
corporations. But can any rational be-
ing seriously claim that the natural
right of the individual to try to earn
living is privilege" and therefore
taxable on the excise" principle.
This Underwood bill applies to
everything about which an individual
can be employed, and all activities
which occupy the time, attention and
iaDor OF persons Tor the purpose OF
livelihood or profit" An income tax
pure and simple-and a discriminatory
one at that
1t is not n tax on wealth or on idle
wealth. 1t is a tax on industry-on
the privilege" to work for a living.
1t is tax on toll whenever that toll
happens to be of the grade that is
mixed with brains and can command
a better remuneration than mere mus
cular labor.
And not the least obnoxious thing
about 1t is that it is desperate shift
to supply n prospective s60,000.000
revenue deficit caused by bill to let
the raw material of the sugar trust
In free, and thereby enable rascally
monopoly to throttle the competitive
beet sugar industry of this country.

COUNTRY RELIES ON SENATE
Republican Body Must "Hesd Of"
Foolish Democratic Theories Of
Legislation.

The Democrats In the house OF rep
resentatives represent very few farm
ing communities. Their constituencies
are found in the great commercial and
manufacturing centers where natural
lied and unnaturalized foreigners con
gest The clear air, clean living and
right thinking Of the country is a soil
wherein the disease germs OF Democ-
racy do not thrive.
The farmers who raise sugar beets
cannot. except on this coast where the
freight tariff from the east protects
them, compete with beetroot sugar
made in Germany where agricultural
laborers are paid less than half the
wages obtained by American farm
hands. Placing cane sugar on the
fgee list Will not close the plantations
in Hawaii where japanese and Chi
nese labor is employed. nor will It
seriously affect the Louisiana planters
who hire negro labor. The beet
growers Of the middle west and north
west win probably discontinue plant
Ing that vegetable, and the beet sugar
factories will close, II the sennte shall
pass the house bill and the president
shall approve II,
But the senate will not agree with
the house. There is no pretense that
the cost Of producing beet sugar in
Germany is not less than In the United
States. It is Republican doctrine that
there should be a duty equal to the
difference in the cost of production.
and the senate is safely Republican.
