CLARK TALKS
ON DEMOCRACY

st. Joseph, Mo-. Oct. 2. - Speaker
Champ Clark of the national house OF
representatives, in a speech at the
democratic state banquet here last
night, reviewed the legislative record OF
the democratic party and expressed
confidence in the verdict OF the voters
in the election of 1915. Speaker Clark
said in part:
"To millions of voters the present
political situation is entirely novel Az
every presidential election since 1880,
the republicans have held the federal
government and the democrats were
fighting to wrest 1t from their iron
grasp. Now all this is changed-and
as we believe, changed for the better.
For years those who love us not
asserted that democrats were party
OF negation. that we did not have
sense enough to legislate. Unfortun-
ately for the country, a majority or
the people believed their jibberish Tor
a long time We wandered In the will
derness as long as did Moses, but at
last the scales fell from the people
eyes and they concluded to entrust US
with power once more.
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 dec
ades--legislation so good that in ad-
dition to democratic votes, nearly all
the progressives and a large per cent
OF the regular republicans voted for
our great constructive measures.
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 1t the
best of all tariff bills even If the rest
of 1t were as bad as the last repub-
1ican tariff bill. which most emphatic
ally it is not. The new feature is the
income tax. I make bold to predict
that the income tax provision never
will be repealed, no matter what party
gets hold of the lawmaking power.
"It 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 1t that the revenues
from tariff taxes would not be as large
under our bill as under the old repub-
lican bill. We drew 1t SO on purpose;
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.
Republican orators assert that the
Underwood tariff bill, even including
the income tax feature, did not bring
in revenue enough to conduct the gov
ernment-which is absolutely untrue.
Everybody knows that there is de-
ficiency in the revenue and that the
deficiency was caused and still is being
caused by the European war.
For a generation our republican
friends had been tinkering with it--al-
ways promising but, never achieving
with the assistance Of patriotic pro-
gressives and patriotic contingent of
republicans, placed on the statute
books the national reserve bank act,
which is now. praised by all business
men.
I'VE passed an antitrust law which
tends to promote legitimate business
and crush illegitimate business.
Under the new law trusts are be-
ing dissolved and are re-arranging
their business on a legitimate basis.
THE people seem to have absolute
confidence in the pilot of the ship of
state-Woodrow Wilson-and are not
likely to drop him overheard in mid
ocean while the storm whips the wa
ters into fury. He did his duty; the
democratic house did it's duty; the
democratic senate did its duty. We
submit that we deserve well of the re-
lpublic-all of us. We have discharged
our duty and have been faithful to our
trust The people will assume that we
will do our duty and be faithful even
to the end
