the Republicans have held the Federal

grasp. Now all this chang ed--and, as
We believed, changed for tho better.
For years those who love us not as
serted that Democrats were Il party of

DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE
FOR CONSTRUCTIVE WORK

What happened? In two brief years
We placed on the statute books more
constructive legislation of the most
highly beneficial character than the
Republicans enacted in two decades
legislation so good that. in addition to
Democratic votes, nearly all the Pro-
greSsivcs and Il large per cent OF the
regular Republicans voted for our
great constructive mcasurcs.
we passed a great tariff bill-the
greatest ever placed upon the statute
books 1t contains many excellent
changes from the Payne Aldrich -Smoot
monstrosity. and it contains one new
feature that would make il the best OF
al! tariff bills. even if the rest OF it
were as bad the last Republican
taiin bill. which most emphatically it
rs not That new feature is the income
tax ! make bold TO predict that the
income tax provision never will be re-
n@a!ed no matter what party gets hold
OF the lawmaking power.
1T is said the Underwood tariff bill
does not bring in as much revenue as
the Payne Aldrich- Smoot bill we.
who made the Underwood bill. knew.
when we made it that the revenues
from tariff taxes would be as large
under our bill as under the old Re-
publican bill. We drew it so on nur-
pose; that was one of the ends sought.
Also knowing that the government
would need about as much money as
usual, we made UP by the income tax
feature the loss in tariff taxes.

WAR Is CAUSE OF
DEFICIENCY, III, SAYS

Republican orators assert that the

the income-taX feature. did not bring
IN revenue enough to conduct the gov
ernfnent--which is absolutely untrue.
Everybody knows that there is n de-
hclencE in the revenue, and that the
deficiency was caused, and still is be-
ing caused. by the European war.
