place for the benefit of navigation and
for the development there that my
lifelong acquaintance with George

years ago | asked the river and har-
bors committee to present to Con-
gress a plan for damming the river

TAXES.
our government is so tremendous
ly in debt that taxes are necessarily
very high. Our debt is nearly twenty.
four thousand million dollars and our
interest account is nearly one thou
sand million dollars a year. Nothing
but severe business economy by the
government will ever enable us to nav
out. | believe that the collection of
the income tax should be simplified
mere are now more than twelve
thousand accountants at work on this
tax and they are five years behind
with the work.
WORLD WAR.
| am in favor of paying all iust
debts arising out of the war. am
in favor of collecting all that is due
us from other nations. am in favor
OF keeping faith with those who
bought the bonds of the government
am In favor of at once disposing
of all war material and supplies not
needed in the defense of the nation.
| am in favor of liberal treatment
OF ex-soldiers. The greatest debt we
owe is to those who lost their lives.
The least thing we can do is to per.
petuate their memory and to help
those who were at one time dependent
upon them Our next greatest debt
is to those whose bodies or minds
were impaired. They should have
our most liberal care until they are
made whole, or as long as they live. |
The government is spending in this |
way more than five hundred and fifty
million dollars O year. No govern
ment on earth is so liberal towards its
ex-soldiers, What more is to be done
for them is yet problem to be
worked out.
