WHO BASIL MANLY IS


Basil NJ Manly, the foremost eco
nomic investigator in America, who
won great fame as director of the
investigations conducted by the U. S.
comm on industrial relations under
the Craftsmanship of Frank P Walsh,
and who wrote the famous Manly
report, has just completed a deep
and sweeping investigation of the
workings of the U. S. income tax.
The work has taken Manly and
corps of newspaper men and statisti-
cal experts six full months, and the
revelations he is about to make to
the people of America represent the
final word on this subject. Manly's ir-
reproachabIe reputation as a social
investigator stands behind them.
Manly's academic training as an
economist was gained at Washington
and Lee university, from which he
graduated, and at the University of
Chicago, where he specialized in the
subject for two years under Prof. J.
Lawrence LaughIin, the most famous
economist in the United States.
In 1907 he became attached to the
U. S. bureau of labor and was con-
nected with that governmental de-
partment's investigation into the
subject of woman and child labor in
the U. S., largely writing the Report
on Women and Children in the Glass
Industry"
For this bureau he next had COM
plete charge of its investigation into |
the steel industry, This was finished

the impending deficit. These new
taxes will rest either upon the COM
mon people or upon those of the rich
who are honestly paying their in
come taxes.
Do you want to pay more taxes?
If not, insist on immediate action
by the president and congress to re-
cover these stolen millions and pun
ish the thieVes.-BASlL M. MANLY.
Manly's second article exposing
the fraudulent attempts to defeat the
income tax law by the very rich will
appear in this newspaper tomorrow.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-04-25

in 1912, signed by Manly and pub
ished in three volumes. It is every
where known today as the authori-
tatiVe work on the steel industry,
and quoted as such by all writers on
economic subjects.
In 1913 Manly made for the U. S.
labor bureau the famous inquiry into
the rise of prices in anthracite coal,
reporting to congress that miners
wages had increased but 8 cents Der
ton, while the wholesale price of coal
had increased 25 cents per ton, with
the result that the operators were
netting an increased yearly profit of
$1O,OOO,OOO.
The next year Manly became the
director of public hearings and direc-
tor Of the department of research and
investigation for the U. S. CONN on
industrial relations and wrote his IA
nous Manly report, presented to the
public by Chairman Frank P. Walsh.
The U. S. govt tried to secure his
services again, but he was persuad-
ed to undertake this searching fnves-
tigation of the workings of the U. S,
income tax.
He has done so, having now
worked on this inquiry for over six
The first of his findings is
here today; others will fol-

TO DLSFRANCHISE


subjected ever since the Wilson adj
ministration came into power has
been such as to ALLEVIATE every colored
vote that ever was friendly 10 WI
son. Knowing that this vote is who'll
ly against them the Democratic man
ayers have set out deliberately TO
prevent 1t from being cast or counted.
This is the real explanation of the
sensational charges Of negro coloniza-
tons that the Democratic managers
have been so industriOusly scatter
ing around the country for the last
two or three weeks. This is the Sc
cret behind the allegations Of activi-
ty by the department of justice and
the appointment of special attorneys
general to investigate and prosecute
colonizers. The Democrats know
that there are no such colonizers They
know that the movement of negroes
from the some OF the Southern states
on which they relied to give some
color OF credibility to their reckless
charge was genuine effort 10 secure
more labor for northern concerns.
They know that it was fostered and
encouraged by the Democratic bureau
Of employment IN the department OF
labor before the Wilson managers
saw practical opportunity in it.
But, relying upon the PROBABILITY that
the general public would be ignorant
Of that fact. the INSCRIPTIONS Dem
ocratic managers spread their calcu-
lated falsehood. 1t was important to
them to get this charge of COLOMBIA
ton floated in order to lay the foun-
dalton for execution OF their plan TO
keep negroes away from the polls on
election day.
The Democrats have long been ex-
pert in the Acknowledgement OF ne
groes In the South. They know the
effect on the average southern negro
OF the sight OF shot gun in the
hands OF Democratic politician at
polling booth. But the Democratic
managers know also that this is not
q shotgun country. They cannot in
timidate the negroes in the northern
states with the freedom of ease with
which they work in their own section,
There ls still regard for the law
and the constitution in the northern
states which long practice has elm
mated from the political conscience
Of the South. Consequently, the
Democratic managers knew that they
must devise some method that does
not rely upon shotgun tactics for ex-
ecution in this game. The COLOMBIA
tion charge furnished the clue. Now
Democrats are issuing Instructions to
their workers and watchers all over
the North in the states where there
is any considerable colored vote, to
be on guard on election day and to
challenge every negro voter who goes
to the polls and offers to vote.
IT is plain that the desperate Dem
locrats hope by this new species -ot
