James X. vardaman. senator from
Mississippi. proposes a plan to avoid
a war revenue measure which would
add to taxation. He believes that If
every salaried officer or employe of
the government. from the president
down, would yield up ten per cent Of
salary. that additional taxation would
be unnecessary. He would have the
president. members of the cabinet the
chief justice and his associates in the
Supreme court, senators and repre-
sentatives and all other persons who
draw salary or compensation from
the government. large or small, pay
ten per cent of the amount to the
treasury The senator said that men
in other walks of life are suffering loss
to business and to income on account
of the war, and he sees no reason why
people who draw salaries from Uncle
Sam should not share the burden,
and while everybody agrees with him,
he will never put his plan over, for
all the patriots are on the other side
of the proposition.
