Travels by Automobile
Arriving in st. Paul early in the day,
Mr.. Bryan was met by Democratic
leaders and taken to Saint Paul hotel
for breakfast. From Northfeld, they
went to Faribault and Owatonna, and
had night meeting at Rochester. At
Pennington Alfred E. Rietz, county
attorney, presided. Mr.. Indrehus spoke
first, followed by Mrs. Olesen and Mr..
Bryan closed.
Revenue Bill Called Piracy
Economic questions are recognized
more generally at this time than any
other,' Mr.. Bryan said in his talk at
Pennington. "The revenue bill is the
boldest piece Of piracy that has been
attempted in recent years, taking the
tax off excess profits and transferring
$3.50, 100000 of taxation from the pro-
fteers to their victims.
F'The bill as passed by the house
reduced the tax on big incomes from
IS per cent to 80 per cent, giving tho
benefit of $90,O00,o00 to less than 5000
persons with big means. The high tar
iff law has imposed burden estimated
at from $4,000, 100000 to $4,000, 600, 900
or from $3.50 to 5000 per family.
Military Training Policy Assailed
"The Republican leaders have never
been closer to the plunderbund than
they are today, and never more reck-
less in their attempts to remove re-
straints from those who prey on the
public.
"Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
went before the committee and pro-
tested personally against a farmer be-
ing put on the federal reserve board.
"Within the last three years, since
the war, a majority Of republicans in
the senate and house have attempted
to fasten on the country system OF
compulsory universal military training,
at . cost Of $700,ooo,000 q year, but
we've prevented by the opposition Of
Democrats who secured the aid OF a
Few Republicans-not many, but
enough to block the plan.
Soldier Bonus Defeat Attacked
"The republican party had no mon
ey for the soldiers bonus, but they
had money enough to give the prof.
teers the $3.50, 900 I have mentioned
and enough to give the $4,000; ;000,0 900
to the people of means and $500, ,000, ,0O0
to the railroads in guaranteed divi'
dends, and the Republican House tried
to loan $500, 0,000, 900 more to the rail-
roads.
"They think they have enough mon:
ey for the ship subsidy, but not enough
for the soldiers who took the risks OF
the war and shed their blood in Eu'
rope while the pro6teers were bleeding
| this country.'
! Mr.. Bryan eulogized Mrs. Olesen
who was on the platform with him.
"I know Of no one in the United
States who would make a better sena
tor" he said. "Her heart is on the
side of the plain people. Her sym
pat1nes are with them in their strug
giles, and she he's the ability to plead
! their cause. She would be match fo1
any Goliath Wall Street would put
up. She would be the champion Of thu
unorganized masses, against the orga
nized cohorts Of privilege and favor
itism in government. .
Mr.. Bryan announced today that hit
official residence is Miami, Fla.
