The Topeka state journal., 1922-12-08

Secretary Mellon would apply
Henry Ford's theory to the nations
business. He believes that reduc-
ton in the tax rate would increase the
federal revenues Instead of recon-
mending new taxation TO make up
the treasury deficit. Secretary Mellon
advocated the lowering Of the surtax
on large incomes from the present so
per cent to 25 per cent, contending
this action would result in capital be-
ing drawn from its hiding places and
put to productive work, thus creating
new tax sources naturally. The sec
retary. like Mr.. Ford. is a successful
business man. He probably Is right
about it. Halvin~ the ta~ should more
than double the taxable incomes and

THE FIRST GIN.

The La FolIette bloc has begun its
promised attack on the constitution
of the United States by offering an
amendment to that document provid-
ing for election of the president ~

An amendment to enable the east and
the big cities <o-ever to elect the pres
ident.
If the amendment providing for
election of the president by popular
vote should be adopted it would mean
that New York alone could outyote
thirteen western states by many thou
sands.
The Empire state has a population
OF 1o.3s5,277 The total population
OF the thirteen states OF Arizona. Col

But under the existing system of
voting for president these states have
twenty-five more votes in the electoral
college than does New York.
Do the people of the west want to
turn the choice of a president over
to the densely populated eastern
