We undertook the reformation of the starin with open minds and clean hands unowned. unpledged to any inter 4st except that of the public welfare. and we are proud of our achievement In writ Ing into law the present JUnderwooa-Sim- mons tariff bill. Not a schedule in it fos- ters monopoly; not rate in it protects a trust
 One of the greatest features of this law Is the income tax, which raises from the fortunes of the rich the prosperous the well to do people of the nation $120 OO0, 900 per annum and lifts this burden off the tables and backs of the poor. To my mind, no law is more just than that of an Income tax It is a tax that fore closes no mortgages. forces no sales It Is collected only where riches abound and prosperity smiles. Would the Republican party dare to suggest the repeal of this part of the tarln law?

 Speaking on the federal reserve law. Mir James declared that it had eman- ctpated the credit of the nation, charg ed the Republican party, in control for forty years of our national life. with having neither the ability nor courage to change the old brutal money sys- tenn that put the control of our finances in the hands of a few heartless men. and said:

Senator Ollie M.

He said:

English Exchequer to
 Profit From Increase
 In Shipping Receipts

London, June 15-The Chancellor of the Exchequer will net a very large sum from shipping companies and cer- tain industrial concerns on account of excess profits in the near future. The balance sheets already publish ed show increases in profits. ranging in some instances up to 800 per cent. while some of the shipping companies profits exceed their share capital The following table shows the profits and dividends of some of the principal shipping companies:

Dividends

In several instances provision has been made for the excess profit tax and many companies could have paid very much larger dividends but the bulk of the increased profits have been wisely placed to reserve.
