Your efforts against the fiy ana

approval and unequivocal commenda-

FAIRBANKS
PLEAD FOR
HARMONY
AT OMAHA

Omaha. Neb.. June 24.-'Forget. and
forgive" was the keynote OF an ad-
dress delivered last night by former
Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks
at a banquet rendered him by 300
Republican leaders Of Nebraska. The
gathering was fairly representative OF
both wings of the party.
Fairbanks had no decided views to
express on current legislation nor on
Democratic policies. except to touch
ON the income tax section of the Un-
derwood tariff bill. On this matter 1s
declared himself in favor Of an income
tax. but thought It should be a repre-
sentative one The provision for 4
minimum OF $4,000 he believed too
high and placed the burden. II It may
be so called" on too small a number
OF people.
-As a rule" he said. "everyons
should bear his proportion of the tar
burdens Of the people. The distribu-
ton should be so equaIized that it will
not be class taxation"
For 'Get-Together- Policy.
To Nebraska Republicans the form
er vice president recommended a get
together" policy and that they let by
cones be by-gones. Nc proscriptivs
spirit should be kept alive" he said
Speaking OF the future, he said:
Now and then We have heard it
said that the Republican party has
ended It's career: that it Is a party Of
the past rather than of the future.
Such prophecy Is not new. We have
heard II proclaimed in other days.
Circumstances which unfortunate
iy led to party division a year ago no
longer exists The Democratic party
is In full power and can be over
thrown only by the united effort OF the
great body Of those who believe in the
soundress and efficacy of Republican
principles
Looks for Republican Victory.

logic OF events will bring them into
cooperation again II msst come
about naturally. by the exercise OF
spirit Of tolerance and patience: old
scores should be forgotten: rs Presi-
dent Mckinley happily put it. lit does
not do to keep books in politics
The speaker then came to the ques-
ton of the tariff and spoke OF the iu-
come tar. which he declared should bs
SO fixed as to distribute Its result in
manner which would not be discrim-
inatory against a particular few. The
requirements OF better citizenship and

After the coat has been worn for a
