MUST PAY TAX
ON HAIL INSURANCE
Department Not Essential Func'
ton of the State Govern
ment

That the operation of han lnsur'
ance department for the benefit OF
grain growers is not an ordinary or
essential function of state govern
ment is the dictum of the department
of Justice at Washington. The mat
ter came up in connection with the
question whether persons who take
out policies in the hail insurance funu
in North Dakota were required 10 at
tach revenue stamps thereto under
the operation of the federal emerg-
ncv rvenue law. In order to secure
a determination of this veXing ques
ton Insurance Commissioner w. e.
TAYLOR referred the matter to Attor'
ney General Lnde. who passed ii on
TO the department Of justice at Wash
ington.
BY way of reply. attention was call
ed to a decision of the supreme court
of the United States, in which il was
held that inasmuch as the regulation
of the liquor rattle in South Carolina
through dispensary system operated
by the state was not an ordinary or
essential governmental function. there
fore the liquors so dispensed were
subject TO the internal revenue tax.
In substance. it was held that he
same principle would apply to state
hail insurance in North Dakota.
"Of course. this does not mean
that our hail insurance department
will go out of business said Com
missioner Taylor, but it does mean
that every person who insures his
crop in the state hail insurance fund
will have TO pay an emergency rev.
enue tax 10 the state government in
an amount equal TO one-half OF l per
cent on each dollar of premium chars-
ed. This means, for example, that II
the premium amounted TO $50, The tax
would he % cents"

against the encroachments of
the enormously rich individuals
and corporations, and at the
same time, under proper regula-
tons encourage the use of the
resources of the country for the,
further development of its latent
possibilities.
We must have an inheritance
tax to prevent SO large a per
cent of the wealth of the nation
from being accumulated in the
hands Of few families, and to
place the burden of taxation
more and more on those most
able to bear it.
We must have an income tax
more heavily graduated against
the larger incomes, in order to
prevent the accumulation of I'M
reasonably large incomes, and to
raise revenue from them for the
support of our nation, and in or
| der to put the greater burden on
those whose business gets the
greatest benefit from govern
ment protection.
Our laws must be modified so
as to encourage and foster the
development of merchant ma
rine, SO as to give those engaged
| in this business in this country
an equal chance with those en-
gagged in this business in foreign
countries. A radical change of
our laws in this respect is imme-
diately necessary.
We must have a larger navy.
| We want a navy not for agrees
| ion but for defense-a navy to
keep the horrors of war from our
shores and to maintain national
honor and preserve a righteous
peace. Battleships are cheaper
than human blood and battles.
We must have more young
men prepared to act as officers in
the navy and army, and must
have a reserve, so that, while we
intend to keep the peace, we
shall be able to fight and pre-
! pared to fight if they force us to
it. In this lies our hope of con-
tinued peace. We can trust our
selves. After the various wars
we have had, we were prepared
and continued to be prepared for
a number of years, yet we did
not rush into other wars.
An efficient Rurat Credit sys-
TEN is vitality necessary, and
should be put into operation
quickly and made to fit our con-
ditions SO you can use it.
So far we have been able to
avoid war with Mexico, but if
war should come and it should be
necessary for us to take charge
of that country for a number of
years, we should take a portion
of the northern part of it in Or
| der to insure against a future re-
currence of the conditions which
now exist. After our money
| has been spent and our blood
split to cure the awful conditions
which now exist, we should not,
by turning the country over to-
them again, make it possible to
again have to spill good Ameri-
can blood to do the same thing
over.
If / am elected, / shall put the
interest of this district first, and

To the Democratic Voters of the
9Th Congressional District of
Mississippi:

Mississippi:
! began my campaign for Con-
gress in December of last year
and have been continually en-
gagged in the canvass since that
time except such time as was
necessary to attend to my official
duties of District Attorney. [
have tried to meet as nearly all
of the voters as possible, and
have made numerous speeches in
different parts of the district,
and shall continue to see and
speak to the voters of the dis
trict at every opportunity.
Ihave missed seeing a good
many people and SO, in order
that those | have not talked to
personally may know where |
stand on questions of national
Importance and what my ideas
are of governmental problems, |
am making this formal announce
ment through the press.
In order to represent this dis
trict properly it is necessary for
a candidate to know the people
and to discuss thoroughly ma
tional problems with them, and
to ascertain their ideas and needs
as far as possible. This can be
done only by making an active
and energetic canvass of the
district. No man is properly
prepared to represent you unless
he has some way of knowing
your ideas. This is a represent
alive democracy. You elect a
man to represent not himself or
his ideas, but your interest and
your ideas. If you elect a man
who does not know what you
want, you lose all voice in the
government as far. as you are
concerned. It ceases to be a
representative democracy. This
is one reason why | have en-
deayored to make a thorough
canvass of the voters.
Having discussed the current
problems of the nation and your
needs with you in person and in
public addresses, do not think
it is necessary now to enter into
a general discussion of them. All
that | shall attempt to do is to
state briefly my position on a
few of the leading questions, as
follows:
believe in those principles OF
government and governmental
policies and ideals as announced
by the Democratic platform re-
Gently adopted in our national
convention.
Progress and economy should
be the Watchwords of all admin
istrations Of government prog
ress in all those things which
tend to develop our resources
and strengthen us as industrial
people, ard make for our intel
iectual and moral uplift; and
economy in those things which
are not essential and which do
not tend to the strengthening
and developing and educating OF
our people. Our government
should more and more use its
|strong arm to protect those who
are economically and industrially
unable to protect themselves
