man in Congress. could not resist
commenting on the late election in
Marion, made famous by burnt cork,
gum and Col. Harvey. He said:
"a little while ago there was an
election in New Mexico and next day
we heard much talk about Il; but we
have not heard Republicans saying
anything about the election the other
day, Even the city Of Marion, that is
famed now throughout the world for
having during the last presidential
campaign entertained Al Jolson, the
black-face comedian, and other actors
and great baseball players, whose ex-
penses were paid by Mr.. Wrigley, the

campaign committee last year all the
electric signs in all the cities TO be

services the finance committee re-
warded so literally in the considera-
tion Of the tax bill by taking off the
tax on chewing gum, which action
was sanctioned and approved by a
majority in this chamber say that

the country, proposed to reduce the
taxes OF that man with an income Of
$1,000 900 a year to the extent Of
$1,594,79O year.
That is what the committee pro-
posed, and tina. is what would have
been accomplished In the Senate had
It not been for the determined fight
made by Democratic senators upon
this side of the aisle. assisted as II
was by a number OF Republicans up
on the other side Of the aisle who felt
that It would be an outrage upon the
country to perform a pledge Of tax
reduction by giving the relief almost
entirely to men enjoying the greatest
incomes Of the country.
What Democrats and Progressivcs Did
In contrast to that, let me show
what was actually done here in the
Senate as n result OF this cooperation
between the solid Democratic vote OF
the Senate and the small number Of
Republicans on the other side of the
aisle who voted with us to bring about
greater equality and reduce the pro-
posed favorltism.
on the income Of the man having
$4,000 year. the result Of the Sem
ate debate was TO leave the reduction
as it had been placed by the commit
tee at $40.
On the incore OF the man having
$4,000 a year, the result Of the
struggle In the Senate was TO make
his reduction s24O, instead Of, as had
been proposed, $3.50.
On the income Of the man having
100000 a year. the result OF the
struggle here In the Senate was to
defeat the proposal Of the committee
to give him a reduction Of $2,730, and
he was given a reduction Of s1,24O.
On the income Of the man reaching
s150,O0O a year, the result Of the
struggle here in the Senate was TO
give him reduction of S4,O40, instead
of, as proposed by the committee,
s12,73O.
On the income Of a man amounting
TO 100000 year, the result Of the
struggle here in the Senate, was to
give him a reduction in taxes Of
$4,000 instead Of S24,37O.
on the income Of man amounting
to 100000 a year, the result of the
| struggle here In the Senate, was TO
give him reduction OF $4,000 in
taxes instead Of a reduction Of
s114,73O, as proposed by the finance
| committee.
On the income Of a man amounting
to 31,00o,oO0 year, the result Of the
| debate and struggle here in the Sem
ate, was TO give him reduction Of
$4,000 in his taxes instead Of, as
proposed by the committee, s274,73O.
On the income Of a man amounting
TO $1,000 900 a year, whereas the COM
mittee had proposed to give him an
abatement Of his taxes amounting to
i,594,730, the result Of the struggle
here in tho Senate, was that his re-
duction was made $4,000 a year.
In other words. the result Of that
struggle here in the Senate was prac-
tlcally to cut in half the proposed re-
ductions which had been given on the
taxes OF great incomes, and TO save
that much at least 10 the government
from those who could well afford to
pay what they have been heretofore
paying.

incomes Of less than $4,000 year
the reductions were still more insig-
nificant
on incomes Of $4,000 a year the
committee proposed a reduction In
the tax amounting to $3.50. That,
also, Is not a great reduction.
on an income Of 100000 a year,
however, the committee proposed TO
reduce the tax $3.50. Now we begin
to see the reduction cut some impor-
tant figure for the relief Of men en-
joylng large incomes.
On an income OF $4,000 a year
the committee proposed to reduce the
tax s12,73O. Here again we note a
rapid progression in the relief afford
ed to men Of large incomes.
Reaching an income of 5000 900 q
year the finance committee proposed
to tho Senate a reduction OF $24,370,
That is to say, d man enjoying an in
come Of 100000 a year was to be
given relief to the extent of s24,37O
In the tax that he had been heretofore
paying.
When we reach man with an In
come Of 100000 year we find that
the committee asked the Senate tc
reduce his taxes to the extent OF
$52,73O a year.
The Half Million Man
When we reach the man with an
income OF half a million dollars a
year we find that the head of the
finance committee and the Republi-
can managers of the Senate proposed
to reduce his taxes s114,73O a year.
When we reach the citizen who has
an income Of a million dollars a year
we find that It was proposed to give
him relief from taxation to the extent
Of $274,73O.
l am not going further than the
man with an income Of $4,000, 600 a
year There are a good many men
who have larger incomes than $4,000

They say increased license fees and
restrictive legislation have been eff.

PROPER WIDTH OF H W
mum, Not the Maximum on Main
Travelled Roads.

Through all the years We have been
trying to maintain from forty to sixty
foot roads in a large percentage OF
our public highways when such a
width was wholly unnecessary. The
road sides have not been cared for
because they were waste land and
this lack of are has made them
spreaders Of weed seed and hay fever.
A narrower roadway, well kept, would
in cases serve all the purposes
required. drainage and safety, says
he Successful Farming.
Now that the roads are to be hard
surfaced the tendency is to 90 to the
other extreme in order to save taxes
for paving. We must look ahead. II
we put down a paving that will last
fifteen or twenty years, we must es.i-
mate if possible the amount and kind
Of traffic 1t will bear at that time.

II the road is dangerously narrow
now, as is the case where less than
eighteen feet is paved, what will it be
In twenty years?
Eighteen feet should be the mini
mum, not the maximum, and on main
travelled roads q greater width will
seem narrow in twenty years. In Eng
land and France the roads are paved
clear to the fences or sides of the
highways, unless a curb and sidewalk
or bicycle path is maintained between
the road and fence. Every foot Is
kept in good condition. Good drainage
is as much a part of the European
highways as is the case with our city
paved streets.
We are at the beginning of motor
transport. Unless we look ahead and
provide wider pavements, we will find
the highways crowded and Il pos
sible relief from railway congestion
annulled. A few dollars saved now
in narrowing our paved highways will
prove a short sighted policy.
We have already seen the folly Of
constructing our canals too narrow
and locks too short. The great lakes
boats needed in Atlantic transport dur
ing the war had to be cut in two and
taken through the canals in pieces.
Ocean ships cannot reach interior ports
until the canals and locks are en-
larged. This is a highway lesson to
us. Look to the future.
