The Supreme Court of the
United States has recently de-
cided that the federal income tax
law is valid and enforceable. am
in favor of continuing this law in
force and strengthening IL so that
the wealth of the country may be
required TO pay its just portion
of the taxes.
For nearly two years the peo-
pie who are compelled to borrow
money have been forced to pay
a war tax in the form of stamps
on notes, deeds and other like
instruments. This is a burden on
a class of people who can i'll af-
ford to pay it. If necessary to
remove this unjust burden / am
in favor of increasing the per-
centage on incomes.
The territory within the Third
Congressional District is suscep-
tibIe of great agricultural devel-
opment and such development is
essential to the prosperity and
happiness of our people. / am
in favor of amending our cur
rency laws so as to assist in
financing the farmers without the
charge Of burdensOme rates of In
terest on loans made to them.
Vote for me and / will work
and vote for the bills that win
be of greatest benefit to the farm

Stupendous Task

1t was 81 years ago Wednesday
since the surrender of Zee at Apo
mattox and the heroes of the south
land turned their faces homeward to
begin the great task of building the
new south upon the foundation which
had to be laid amid the devasted
ruins of the homes they left four
years earlier. History does not record
more glorious achievement than
that of those same good and true men
who have since that day fought the
battles Of peace with the same degree
of devotion and Of courage that
characterized their course in the dark
days Of the bloody strife.-Andalusia

Dollars are what you need to take

Wilson Preserving
Traditions of United States

TRADITIONS or United States
How political antagonism will pervert
even the best sections; how it will never ap-
prove anything unless it conform to party
standards; how it will subordinate justice,
logic and tradition to campaign flapdoodle
has never been more strikingly brought out
than IN the criticism of President Wilson
and his administration for the lenient,
hopeful and charitable policy in Our inter-
national relations.
Nations are very much like individuals.
Any one of a number of causes may send
them temporarily insane, and they will turn
against their best friends. President Will
son realizes that Mexico and Germany are
simply not responsible for their actions
that some day, when the horrid vapors have
cleared from their national brain. their
present conduct will appear to them-hav-
ing regained their senses-abhorrent and
unexplainable. Had Republican been
president, he would followed Wilson'S
identical polfcy-not because he was a Re
publican, but because he was an American.
Of American internationalism, the dis
tinguishing characteristic has always been
forbearance; fact it is well for us to re-
member this Easter season. To employ
violence to settle what can be accomplished
by amlty, has always been repugnant to
the American conscience. In statecraft, we
have always endeavored to live up to Abou-
ben-Adhem's love of our fellow-man!
Facing conditions almost identical with
our Mexican problem of today, the tenn
pestuous Jackson himself has given Wilson
ample precedent for the latter's policy
Read what Jackson wrote in 1886, when re-
ferring to certain claims long pending
against the Mexican government:
trust, however, by tempering firm
ness with courtesy and acting with
! great forbearance upon every incident
that has occurred or that may hap
pen, to do and to obtain justice, and
thus avoid the necessity of again
bringing this subject to the view of
congress.
Two months later february 6 1880,
he wrote:
The length of time since some of the
injuries have been committed, the re
peated and unavailing applications for
redress, the wanton character of some
of the outrages upon the property and
persons of our citizens, upon the Off
GERS and flag of the United States, in
dependent of recent insults to this gov
eminent and people by the late extra
ordinary Mexican minister, would JUS
tify, i'll the eyes of all nations, inlme-
date war.
"That remedy, however" General Jack
son added, should not be used by just and
generous nations. confding in their
strength, for injuries committed, if it can
be honorably avoided"
Yes, the political brain is a quaint and
tumultuous thing. Let us a, least be thank
full that the Republicans haven't attacked
the president for opening the baseball sea
son in Washington.
