The gentleman from Tennessee (Mr.

try for the able and conscientious
manner in which he has worked out

fend the principle that men should be

because of their necessity to eat and
to wear clothing. The effective man
ner in which he met the fire of Ques-
tions by those who would tear down
and destroy the measure convinced
me of his experiences on this subject
and that the bill is framed to stand
the tests of the courts.
! believe that the income tax pro-
vision of the tariff bill as it now
stands, after having been amended by
this house just before recess, is the
fairest, sanest, and most progressive
measure ever presented to congress
with the hope OF passing.
Mr.. Chairman, / do not believe it is
Just that the men who own 80 per
cent of the wealth Of this country
should bear but 10 per cent of the
burden of taxation. If members agree
with me that such a. condition is un-
Just, then / submit the income tax is
a move in the right direction to rem,

ty worth but cents she pays cents
for it, not knowing that the sugar is
worth but cents and that she is pay
ing 2 cents as q tax to the national
government
That the price Of an article is en-
HANGED by the amount of the tariff tax
is evidenced by the fact that in Eng
land, where there is no 2-cent tax on
sugar, the average wholesale price of
sugar the year around is approximate
ly 2 cents (the amount of the Payne
Aldrich taxi less than in the United
States.
The average tax on all articles IN
der the Payne-Aldrich law is approx
imately 40 per cent. Nearly every.
thing one must buy at the grocery. the
hardware store and the dry goods store
carries a tariff tax, which means that
the local merchant acts in the capaci-

toners that in making purchases they
are paying taxes.
To show. finally, that under the pres
ent fiscal system the millionaire bach
elor does not contribute as much to
ward maintaining the national govern
ment as the average workingman with
family, 1t is necessary but to point
out that the millionaire does not eat
as much sugar as the entire family OF
the workingman, and, as the tax is
wholly on consumption, It is obviou:
that the worlingman with a family
buys more pounds of sugar in a year

which plan and direct Che operations

tails in starting and developing the
undertaking will save waste of land,
labor and capital
Whole souled devotion-It is GER
tainly fortunate condition which finds
the poultryman devoting not only his
own capital, but also his undivided la
Dor OF mind and muscle TO the winning
OF success in his chosen calling.
Small beginning-The best plan in
the poultry business, as in most other
kinds OF business. is to commence on
a small scale involving only reasonable
amounts OF land. capital and labor.
Prom this small beginning the poultry
plant may be gradually enlarged along
the most advantageous lines as indl-

tected article, and there are 400
items in the Payne-Aldrich law.
The Payne-Aldrich law, however,
taxes neither wealth nor income. A
man may have million dollars in gold
and he is not asked to contribute any
thing whatever to the national gov
eminent, but If he is hungry or cold
and must buy food or clothing to sat
isfy his needs he must pay a tax Of
more than 40 per cent.
I submit that wealth and incomes
should properly be the first things to
be taxed. The pending income tax
provision will tax them.
It is argued by some that an income
tax is premature, experimental. So
cialistic legislation"
The answer is that 80 nations and
states levy a tax on incomes, and that
the United States is practically the
only one of the great nations Of the
earth in which wealth is permitted to
go untaxed, so far as the general gov
eminent is concerned.
One of the beneficial effects that
may be expected from an income tax
| is that under the present indirect sys-
TEN of tariff taxation the people do
not realize that they are contributing
the vast sums of money expended by
the federal government; but when you
| have a direct system of taxation, and
the tax collector goes to those who
have to pay under this law and de-
mands of them the amount due the
government, the result is they will re
alize that they are paying the money
that runs this government. and they
will demand Of their representatives

Under the income-tax provision those

must pay a tax of l per cent on his

income of $4,10O, would pay tax of

year will be subject to taxation, yet
less than l per cent of our total popu-
lation is affected by the biii.
Under the provisions of this bill,
John D. Rockefeller, having an esti-
mated capital of s50O,OOO,OOO, and an
estimated annual income of $4,000, 900
will be required to pay an annual tax
to the government of 100000. This
is 100000 more than he has ever
paid before, because he has been in
the habit of paying little, if any more,
than the humblest citizen of the land.

TRl-STATE FAIR NOTES.

The Tri-State Fair, Memphis, September 22d to 27th, the first Of the big Southern fairs, will open its gates this year with the con. v1ctlon on the part of it's manage. ment that every one of it's eighteen big departments will excel, in every way, any fair ever before given ih the South.
 At the first meeting held after the closing of the 1912 fair it was determined that no effort or ex. pense should be spared to secure the best, and nothing but the best for this years fair, and the result has been most gratifying.
 The two first exhibition build. ings have been rearranged and will be given over entirely to com. merclal and industrial exhibits. and even at this early date every space has been taken. The third building, formerly used for manu- facturers exhibits, will be the agricultural hall, and the demands for space, even now, are so great that enlargement of this building H contemplated.
 The Tri-State Fair this year ceased to be private corporation, the old stockholders turning over to the new eleemosynary corpora ton their entire interests with the understanding that hereafter no individual should ever receive one penny of profit from the Fair. The new charter expressly states that all money received in excess of the necessary expenses shall be used in improving tie grounds and buildings for the benefit of the agricultural interests of Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.
 Live Stock.
 The live stock exhibits at the Tri-Stats Fair have always been given especial attention More premiums have been offered, and with the active support of most of the National Registry Associations and the entries already received this department will maintain its record of growing bigger and bet ter every year.
 Agriculture.
 The Agricultural Department will vie with the live stock section in importance. The 1918 fair will see an entire new arrangement of the agricultural building, which will add to Its general attractive nssa, while new system of label Ing the exhibits, enabling each ex- hib!: to tell the story of it's produc> hon, will greatly add to their ed ueational value.
