The reactionary leaders were able
to remove the excess profits tax and
reduce the surtaxes for their rich
friends, though they have not yet been
able to impose the sales tax on the
poor. This, they hope to do later, If
possible. Thus far the rich have
benefited; the poor have to the same
extent been penalized."

This is an old, .remorseless trick, a
favorite among politicians,'' says the
document.
The ship subsidy proposal is called
a reactionary measure, "steeped in in

The record of Congress is attacked

Declaring that it was very easy for
Governor Miller to indulge in "a long
line OF nice talk" but that it didn't
carry conviction as far as the people
who have an understanding of the cord
are concerned, the former Governor re-
viewed the accomplishment Of his
own administration in regard to well
fare legislation, ample appropriations
TOR the Labor Department, so as to
permit 1t to function properly, and
various other matters. In contrast
with this record Of achievement, Gov
ernor Miller had broken down and
paralyzed the Labor Department, the
speaker said, and had dismally failed
TO strengthen the workmen's compensa-
tion act, rs he asserted he had done in
his recent speeches. When he spoke of
strengthening 1t, declared Mr.. Smith,
he meant to say "strangling it,"

The speaker further quoted the Gov

not to grant favors to those who seek

"That sounds very good" said the
toTmer Governor. land is undoubtedly a
wise thing to say during campaign
time. but let US see how the Cover
nor and his party have lived UP to that
principle when inrrusred BY the ueonle
with great power. A few nights ago
Governor Miller broke his silence about
his party's record in Washington for
just about second, long enough to
mention something about the budget,
reminded him at the time that two
years ago he insisted that ours was a
government by parties and that I
should be defeated because Of some Of
the policies of my party in national
affairs. asked him the other night
If he still held to that logic and, if he
did, would he raise his voice in de-
fense of the recent tariff act enacted
" his party in Washington and re-
pudiated by almost all the leading Re-
publican newspapers Of the United
States as without justification.'
The former Governor said that Re-
publican papers of this state which in
the past had been consistent advocates
of the principle, Of protection re-
perversion of that principle. The
speaker wanted to know whether the
tariff act was. enacted in the interest
Of all the people or for the purpose Of
granting a favor to the few who we're

the act added more than $3.50 year in

On Registration
Frauds in CITY
Continued from paSo one,

Keating admitted this board had failed
to give the literacy test to sixty-six
new voters.
AS result Mr.. Gilbert yesterday
began an Investigation Of assistance
claims in all the Assembly districts Of
the greater city. While declining to
make definite announcement as to the
preliminary results, these indicated
such an extensive existence of false
claims as to lead him to believe that
hundreds Of cases of the. kind would
be discovered, if not the details Of
what was characterized as "a delib-
crate scheme on the part of leaders
anxious to obtain as many votes as
possible for certain candidates.
Most of the offenders making such
claims will be shown to be women, it
was indicated.
SHOULD this sort of thing be per-
mittcd to continue" he said, "it would
open the voting booth doors to great
numbers of persons who now have not
the right of franchise"

"No investigation is being conducted
by the board, as such inquiries are
conducted by Mr.. Gilbert, whose de-
partment has 100000 for the pur-
pose"
Both Mr.. voorhis and Mr.. Gilbert
were skeptical concerning a charge
made that Tammany Hall had obtained
the illegal registration Of $500 names
in the 1st Assembly District, declar-
ing they did not believe that SO great
a number of fraudulent registrations
could be encountered anywhere in New
York City.
Mr.. yoorhis said that the tins OF
his board at present was being given
chiefly to examining claims for absen-
tee voters ballots. He said there are
three times as many of these as in
any previous election year, and that
the number probably will reach 500.
Most of the claimants are engaged
in government service in Washington,
Mr.. Voorhis asserted.

that some provision did need to be
