five miles. After passing at Arkalon

The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-12-16

Legion Post there, in letter to Sen
ator Duncan U. Fletcher (Dem., Fla
is as follows: There were nine appli-
cants; after the examinations recon-
mendations were made in behalf of
two who qualified, one of whom was
chief clerk of the U. S. Railway mail
service for twenty-five years or more
the other an ex-service man who en-
tered active service in 1917 at the age
of fifty-eight, served creditably until
July 81, 1920, and who was the son of
Civil War veteran, the brother of a
Civil War soldier and the father of
an only son who entered the World
War at the same time, May, 1917.
This ex-service man suffered perma-
nent injuries in the service.
According to Commander Nelson's
story, the applicant who had in the ex-
animation received the lowest rating
and who had no other record than a
Republican ward politician, was on
May SO, this year, named acting post
master and is serving in that capacity
at the present time. Commander Mel
son further said that it is openly
claimed when public indignation has
subsidized, this appointment will be
made permanent.

give him reduction in taxes Of $14,-
600, instead of $24,370.
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 $40, 900 in tax
es instead of reduction of $114, 73O,
as proposed by the Finance Commit
tee.
On the income of man amounting
to 81 100000 year, the result of the
Senate, was to give him reduction of
$4,000 in his taxes instead of, as
proposed by the committee, 1874, 73O.
On the income Of man amounting
to So, OOO, 900 a year, whereas the COM
mittee had proposed to give him an
abatement of his taxes amounting to
81 ,594, 730, the result of the struggle
here in the 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-
tically 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 to the Government
from those who could we'll afford to
pay, what they have been heretofore
paying.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-12-16

by Senator Simmons (Dem., N. c., a
master Of the subject, and the other
by Senator Hitchcock (Dem., Neb.),
whose fine power of analysis and
journalistic experience enables him to
strip a subject of it's non-essentials
and to present the vital facts with
convincing clarity.
Among other things, Senator Sim
mons told how the Democrats and
Progressives had saved to the Treas
ury of the United States nearly $780,
100000 by defeating the House pro-
vision in the tax bill exempting for
eign traders and domestic corpora
tions engaged in foreign trade, 80 per
cent of whose business was derived
from business done abroad. He abb
solved tie House Committee from re-
sponsibility for the conception of this
provision, saying it came from singh
err up. By a bare majority it was
stricken out.
Senator Simmons also said:
81 want the Senate and want the
country to understand that we--a part
of the Republican party and most OF
the Democratic party-put in the bill
these things that mean so much to the
taxpayers of this country. and we
kept them in the bill, but not without
struggle that sometimes was almost
desperate.
"Now, | come TO the next amend
ment that was saved, and that is the
surtax amendment. Around that
amendment most of the discussion
which took place with reference to in
comes revolved. Does anybody doubt
what would have been the fate of that
amendment but for the insistence and
demand Of Il or % strong, stout
hearts over there, spoken of derisively
as the agricultural bloc or the pro-
gressive bloc-some sort of block in
the Republican party which the olo
guard would spurn and ostracise? Is
there anybody here or in the country
who believes that the reactionary
crowd that controls the Finance Com
mittee, thoroughly committed to the
House provision of 80 per cent, ever
would have yielded to that amendment
if they had not been confronted by
| that hard and insurmountable rule OF
the necessity of things? They sur
rendered because they were beaten
and they knew it. =.
"You say that is a Democratic tax
You say that is the Democratic demo,
gogue chasing the corporations allo
the rich. Yet, Mr.. President, in the
House of Representatives in defiance
of the appeals of the Republican lead,
ership of that body, in the very face
of the earnest and almost impassioned
letter which the President of the
United States caused to be read in
that Chamber, nearly as many Re.
publicans in the House voted to sus'
tain that amendment as did Demo,
Gratis"

This may sound funny to the ordi-
nary taxpayer, but it is our honest
opinion that on" Of the things that has
made money srarce is because of the
many taxes placed on big money. Big
money can re invested in government
bonds, in municipal and other non tax
able securities, and bring in greater
net returns than when placed in busi-
ness channels where every sort of tax
toll is taken and where strikes, boy
cots, and other trouble makers inter.
fere. Here is where big money has
the best Of the business man or manu-
facturer. We little fellows are han
dicapped for lack of finances and no.
where to turn for helping hand. The
sooner big money is relieved of some
of the taxes, the sooner times will ease
up all over the country. We don't
want to shoulder the taxes taken from
big money, but we will have to or gv

of that man with an income of $5,000,-
900 year to the extent of 81 1894, 73O
year.
That is what the committee pro-
posed, and that 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 it
was by a number of Republicans upon
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.
In contrast to that, let me show
what was actually done here in the
Senate as a 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 proposed favoritism.
On the income of the man having
$4,000 a year, the result of the Sen
ate debate was to leave the reduction
as it had been placed by the commit
tee at $40.
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 $2,730. Now we be-
gin to see the reduction cut some i'm
portant figure for the relief of men
enjoying large incomes.
On an income of $4,000 a year
the committee proposed to reduce the
tax $12,730. Here again we note a
rapid progression in the relief afford
ed to men of large incomes.
On the income of the man having
$4,000 a year, the result of the
struggle in the Senate was to make
his reduction $240, instead of, as had
been proposed, $3.50.
On the income of the man having
100000 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 reduction of $1,240.
On the income of the man reaching
$150,000 year, the result of the
struggle here in the Senate was to
give him a. reduction of $4,000 instead
of, as proposed by the committee, $12,-
730.
On the income of man amounting
to 100000 year, the result of the
struggle here in the Senate, was to
