THE WAR TAX IN BRIEF.

In order to meet the deficit in the
governments income. caused by a de
crease in revenue receipts from impor-
tatfons, due TO the European war. the
democratic party plans to raise tenn
porarily S1O7 100000 year by direct
taxation. More than one-half OF this
tax is to be raised from intoxicating
beverages-beer. whisky. cordials. and
so forth. Twoffths of the other halt
is TO be raised from financial transac-
lions. such as bonds. debentures. stock
certificate issues, transfers and so
forth, promissory notes, coDveyances
and so on. while OF the remainder
s5.OOO.OOO is 70 be raised from cos
metics and chewing gum, and another
s5,OO0,OOO is to be raised from ia
bacco.
Tie republican party opposed this
tax. and by so doing would stifie the
government in it's purposes by refus-
ing It adequate money to meet its
legitimate expenses.
The democratic party stands for the
government.
The republican party stands for the
distillers. the brewers the financial in
terests and the tobacco trust.
For whom do the voters stand?

FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE
AS SHOWN BY THE OFFICIAL RECORDS

herein provided for, provided such con
tracts can be made at a price when, III
his judgment, is reasonable and equit
able; but in case he is unable to make
contracts for armor under the above
conditions, he is hereby authorized and
directed to procure a site for ana tc
| erect thereon a factory for the manu-
! facture of armor and gun forgings;
and the sum of $4,000. 900 is hereby ap
propriated toward the erection of said
factory and the purchase OF site
therefor.
This amendment Is practically
/ duplicate OF the provision contained In
the naval appropriation bill OF 1900;
and the mere fact that the bill car
ried this provision resulted in the gov
eminent saving millions of dollars in
the cost of armor plate. The secretary
of the navy was able to say to the
three firms having a monopoly or the
manufacture of armor in this country
that If they were not willing to sell
armor to the government at a fair and
reasonable price he was authorized by
law to go ahead and manufacture his
own armor. Let us see whether the in
sertion of the amendment l have just
offered proved of value in the naval
bill of 1900.
Back in 1898 the government was
paying an average of S65S ton for
armor. Some time later Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, started in to
fight the high price and to oppose the
armor ring, and he forced the armor
trust gradually to reduce its price I'M
til. in 1900. he got the price down to
S41S a ton.
Then the naval appropriation bill of
1900 was amended to carry the provis-
ion l have just alluded to, which pro-
vided that IL the secretary of the navy
was unable to obtain a square deal
from the armor trust, he was authorized
and directed to build a government
armor plant
What was the result? The three con-
Germs manufacturing armor, rather
than have Uncle Sam build a plant,
gradually reduced their prices from
SAB in 1900 to 1854 in 1906, which
meant a saving of millions of dollars
to the government. Such was the re-
suit of the insertion in the naval bill
of 1900 of the provision that l pre-
scented. Without spending a dollar for
a plant or doing anything further than
simply providing that the secretary of
the navy was authorized to build a
plan if he could not obtain fair treat
ment from the trust, the government |
saved millions.
But when congress failed to continue |
the provision in the naval bill it grad
ually lost its moral effect upon the |
armor ring, and the price of armor
plate to the government was steadily |
advanced from sS45 a ton in 1906 to
1854 ton at the present time.
If this congress will replace this
