PAGE SEVEN
More Taxes On the Common
People, Demands the
President!


sor Woodrow Wilson was elected,
promises cheap money, on long loans to the
Farmer.
Rural Credits were as positively pledged,
publicly, as the Offices were secretly pledged
to the negro Republicans, and governmental
favors to the Roman Catholics.
The Republican negroes have got theirs; the
Roman Catholics have been getting and are
still getting theirs; but the Farmer is left in
the lurch
Wall Street has legalized it's Money Trust,
and an imported German Jew, Paul War
burg is in control of it,
In other words, the Rothschilds have got us
where they got the money system of Europe.
The Farmer is almost desperate and the
Government offers him. not the long loans that
were promised him before he voted for Will
son, but the I months loans. which will place
him at the mercy of the Warburg banks.
And while the Farmer, and the merchants
and State banks whose prosperity depends on
the Farmer. are extending every energy to
devise a method of self-help, the President
proposes additional tax burdens of $1OOOO0,-
600.
European war were ours.
In the name of God. where is this oppres-
sion of the common people to stop?
This Democratic administration has been
reckIessly eXtrayagant. It appropriated S53,-
100000 for River and Harbor work. it has
lavished money on local post-offices and new
public buildings of every sort: it's Naval and
Army bills were larger than ever before
There has not been any effort at economy.
There has not been any real effort to tax the
mllllOnaires.
England raises more than hundred mil
lion dollars year by taxing the rich: zee
raise only one-third that sum.
If President Wilson needs another hundred
million dollars to waste OH mwise River
work, unnecessary battle-shIps and the pay
ment of such enormous amounts as Bryan
promised to the Roman Catholics of Colon
bia, why don't they increase the Inc0mc tar?
Why shouldn't our millionarcs be made to
pay like those Of England?
Why shouldn't we have an Inheritance tax
like that of Great Britain?
Why compel the common people to bear
this increase of Federal taxation?
1t is ridiculous to see such men as Rookie
Teller. Morgan, Carnegie. Schwab, FricIi and
Guggenheim lodging their taxes.
The entire ana0unt collected By the G0rc17l-
nacnt on its 0bsurdlY 10ar~Inc0n1e taa, IS not
more than R0chefeller's net income for four
months.
Yet, President Wilson does not propose a
graduated Income tax, increasing arith the
i2c0me, nor does he propose a substantial
levy on dead miIlionare's pile, before it goes
to his heirs.
What Wilson wants is another load on the
backs Of the masses, load that will make it
cost a common man more to feed and clothe
his family.
Does it ever occur to Woodrow Wilson that
he is heaping up wrath against the day of
wrath, when he again faces the people!
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-09-10

Then, there is another thing to consider:
We Progressive Democrats have decided
not to be unkind to the railroads.
We Progressive Democrats felt quite the
other way IN 1906, when we elected Hoke
Smith governor; and we made a Progressive
platform in Macon-Hohe Smith being pres
ent--in which we demanded the immediate
reduction of all freight rates on all conmo-
dltles going to, or coming from. our Sea-
board
Mr.. f. M. Smith may have heard of this
1t was eight years ago.
But after we Progressives got into office
we forgot the Macon platform of 1906 we
did not demand any reduction of Port Rates,
and we did not get any.
80, when we PrOgresslves again met in Ma
con this year--Hoke Smith again being pres
ent-We did not say one word about lower
freights
Not an unl1ind word in reference to rail
roads escaped our Progressive lips.
The railroads have not changed. but we
PrOgressives have.
Can Mr.. F. M. Smith tell me why?
Now, what IS that he wanted Dr. Hard
man to do to the railroads?
Did DR.. Hordno0n tell n1y Shepherds" achat
NE 2oou7d do for the farmers against the
railroads?
If SO, what did he say, and where did he
say it?
Maybe the Doctor overlooked it. and would
like to be heard from nOaO.
If so, these columns are open to him.
What would DR.. Hardman have done to
relieve the farmers on the freght-rate ques-
ton. had he been elected?
That's a fair way to put it.
Besides, I'll put it another way, equally
fair:
What does DR.. Hardman think that Nat
Harris ought to do in regard to the rail
roads?
Out with it. Brother Smith
just tell us what your man would have
done, and tell us what your man thinks Har-
ris ought to do.
Let as put DR.. Hord,7oa7o on record
His position on the railroad question may
be so fascinating to me that [ may urge all
my "nephews' to vote for him next time
In the meantime, [ beg that Brother Smith
will keep a watchful eye on Nat Harris, and
if he sees that old Confederate soldier act
ing suspiciously as ii he meant to betray us to
the railroads, let f. M. Smith ring the bell,
toot the horn and unchain the dogs.
[ don't exactly know what the Governor
could do for the railroads. without the CON
nivance of the Railroad Commission and the
legislature; but if Governor Harris should
attempt anything ructious and reasonable [
will rush to the aid of F. M. Smith. Ralph
Smith, J. r. Smith. Hoke Smith. jim Smith
and all other patriots.
Nat Harris shall not deliver us to the rail
roads if we Progressive Democrats can help
it.
When Brother F. M. Smith writes me
again, hope he will be able to tell me where
in DR.. Hardman is more advanced in his
l. IL N
platform of this gear.

THE eJEFFERSONIAN
MIR. +. M. Smith Inquiries About
the Recent Georgia
Campaign.
Campaign.


Campaign.
EAR SIR: In this weeks Jeffersonian on
- page g. you laud Alex. Stephens as a states
man and patriot who achieved fame in spite of
ollncultles, which is exactly right Then you
mention Col. Nat Harris, and say that in him
otephens Will live again, and that he was edu-
Gated by Stephens, etc.
NOW, II this is true, why was it that Harris
voted against Stephens for the u S. Senate in
1882, and in favor of Clifford Anderson?
Also, why was it that you advised all of your
nepheWs, which are mostly farmers, to vote for
railroad lawyer for governor, when one of the
best farmers and most successful business men
IN the State was aspiring to the same office?
1t is easy to understand why some would do
this but for you, who has been posing as the
champion of the common people for 20 years or
more, to tell the farmers to vote against man
like DR.. Hartman for governor, is beyond my
understanding
Would you mind explaining these questions in
your paper? Yours truly
Concord Ga. F. NJ SMITH,
(ANsWER.)
[ have been SO much occupied by more
important work that the recent hell broke
loose-1n-GeOrgla grows dim in my memory.
However, it is a duty to answer Brother
f. M. Smith who has never written me be-
FORE that / can recollect
Brother Smith asks me why my old friend
COL Nat Harris voted against Alexander II.
Stephens when the Sage of Liberty Hall ran
for the Senate in 1882.
The answer is, that Mr. Stephens did not
run for the Senate in 1882.
The candidates for the Senate. that year
were Alfred H. Colquitt, James G. @. Black
and Clifford Anderson.
1t was my pleasure to make one of the
speeches seconding the nomination of Mr.
Black. [ voted for him, of course. Had Mr.
Stephens been in the race. he would have got
my vote, sure!
Clifford Anderson was a Macon man. and
If Nat Harris voted for him, he did the
natural thing.
In 1882, Mr. Stephens was candidate for
Governor, and he received the hearty support
of both myself and my friend Nat Harris
So. you see. Brother T. NJ. Smith is badly
off, as to the facts If he and other Hard
man supporters have been circulating that
charge against Col. Harris, they owe him an
apology and correction.
Will Brother Smith make 1t?
AS to Governor-elect Harris having been
railroad lawyer. the answer is equally COM
plete.
Col. Harris was not a railroad lawyer, in
the sense that w. G. Brantley is, or Hamp
McWhorter is. or Mr.. Thorn of Washington
is or that Lawton and Cunningham of Savan-
= nah are.
The practice of COL Harris was a general
law-business. and he acted as local attorney
for the Central, in Macon, just as Maj j. c.
c. Black is local attorney for the Central in
Augusta.
[ did not consider that this looking after
local business for the Central, at Macon,
identified Col. Harris with the general poll
cies and interests of the corporation Of which
the Central is a member.
= If ever Col. Harris has been to Atlanta to

sure of Combined Forces.

Berlin (via The Has~<J Sept 25-
That the main line Of the French
forts extending from Yerdun to Toul
is being battered to pieces by the
German siege guns-the az cent?
meter mortars- was announced by
the war office today.
The official report read:
THE German troops are attacking
the entire line of the French forti-
fications along the French eastern
frontier from Verdum to Toul. In an
attempt to raise the siege and pre-
vent the domilition of their forts, al
ready suffering severely from the
German shell fire, the French have
made several attacks in force on the
German lines. All have been repulsed
with heavy losses to the enemy, who
has also been driven back on his
main supports.
"The right wing of the German
has been under severe pressure from
the combined British French forces,
but at no point has the enemy sue
ceeded in making an impression on
our lines. The main chain of defense
along the River Disc and the Aisne is
intact and the efforts of the enemy to
carry the forts by night attacks
have proven futile.
"Along the line from our right
through the Argonne forests no I'M
portant engagements have taken
place. East Of the Argonnes the Ger
man line has been extended through
Varennes, which was taken by a
series of brilliant assaults in which
the enemy lost heavily.
"In French Lorraine and on the
Alsace frontier, fighting proceeds
but there has been little change here
from the situation as previously re-
ported.
Summed up, it can be stated that
while a series of violent combats
have, and are taking place, at no
point is the battle seemingly ap-
preaching q decisive stage. The spirit
of the German troops is wonderful.
They have met the most desperate
attacks with counter assaults and
have inflicted great damage on the
enemy"

ALLIES MAKE Mad
BAYONET CHARGES
Hand-to-hand Fighting on
Heights Of the Meuse in
the Dark.
FIERCE ENCOUNTER.
Extreme Struggle Approaching
French General Planning New
Movement-Details Suppressed.
f&4 ss-s s9a =

Paris, Sept. 25-Throughout the
night bayonet charges by the allies
upon the German trenches marked
the great battle upon the Aisne.
Charge was met with counter charge
and hand to hand fighting on the
heights of the Meuse in the darkness
of night, in desperate grapples where
steel met steel, brought this morn
ing but slight gain, according to
statements from army headquarters.
As dawn approached the exhaust
ed armies desisted and the crack ar
tillery of each side resumed the long
range duel that has featured each
days fighting.
Indications are pointing to the ap-
proach of the supreme struggle along
the Laon-St. Quentin-Cambria road.
where only short time ago the
Scotch and Irish regiments of the
British expeditionary forces were so
terribly decimated.
Along the allied center, near Yer
dun, following the occupation OF
yarennes by the Germans, new
movement has been organized by the
French commanding general, the de-
tails of which are suppressed, but
which apparently has for its object
the beleagured fortress now under
siege by the Germans for week. /
The first statement issued, from.
headquarters this morning added
little to what was already known. !
The fighting on the left continues
being marked by almost constant arr
tillery fire." 1t is said, "and the allies
have made another slight gain. On
the heights of the Meuse fierce fight
ing continues. The enemy continues,
his bombardment of the Meuse forts
but they are maintaining their de-.
fense.
"On the whole the situation shows
state of improvement from our
standpoint. The enemy is heavily: IN
trenched but at no point on the left
or center has he been able to as
sumo the offensive. The morale OF our
armies is excellent"
The army of Gen. Won Boehm,
which now holds the extreme Ger
man right, is centered at Mons and
holds the main circular highway that
extends through Valenciennes, Cam
brai to st Quentin. =.
The French hold Peronne. but
they are under constant attack from
the Germans, who are in force dl-
rectly to the east of that town and
west of Vermand and Roisel.
