Senator Sterling Should be Endorsed

South Dakota has been ably repre-
serted ia h senate by Senator ThOs.
Sterling, and republican voters of the
| state will do we'll to see that he is re.
nominated and reelected. Senator
Sterling in a statement just issued
gives a review of his work and calls
attention to his support, among other
measures, of the Federal Reserve
Bank Act, the Federal Trade Commits
sion Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act,
the Panama Canal Free Tolls act,
the Federal Farm Loan Law and the
Federal Good Roads Law. Under
the latter Act South Dakota will re-
ceive more than 81 900, 900 of Federal
aid in the building of roads. He also
refers to his opposition to the Tariff
Act of 1913 because OF its discrimi.
nation against the farmers Of the
N ,rthwest.
In addition he introduced and Sc
cured the passage OF the bill extend
ing the benefits Of the 800 acre Home
stead Act to South Dakota, and later
after persistent effort, procured the
passage OF the go acre Grazing Home
| stead Act which will permit the estab-
lishment Of h,mes in Iarge areas west
Of the Missouri isiver
He supported the bills for a Gov
ernment Armor Plate Plant and a
Government Nitrate Plant and, as is
well known, he has been active in the
support OF all war a
In referring to his votes On the War
Revenue Act he states that the total
tax which men Of great wealth will
ha We to pay is in most cases hea vier
here than ia England or any other
country. It is now exp cted that ST.
OOO. 600, 900 will be raised by the law
whereas at the tine of Its passage it
was estimated that only q little more
than 50, 500. 0OO, 600 would be collected.
He states that he will support any fiji
tute nee ,ssary Increase in the income
and excess profits taxes, and in doing
so will be governed by the principle
that the big incomes and big profits
should bear the largest pat Of the
burden. Some question having been
raised as to whether Senators and
Representatives were exempt from the
payment of the excess profits tax,
Senator Sterling introduced an amend
ment to the Act which provided
that it should not be construed to eX-
empt them, AMI the Treasury Depart
ment has since held that they are not
exempt. He opposed an amendment
to the Revenue Bill which was in the
interest OF the Oleomargerire manu-
facturers and would have been detri-
mental to the dairy interests OF the
country.
He has worked for q just system of
