simply a contribution to the general

Mr.. Larner reports that quite a num- =
ber of gifts are still coming in. some
of them being of substantial amount.
He said also that numerous anony-

TAXES NEAR POINT
OF CONFISCATION
BAILEY URGES RENOMINA-
TON OF HARDING AND NOM
NATION OF UNDERWOOD.

NEW ORLEANS, La.-Renomi-
nation of President Harding and
nomination of Senator O.. w. Under
wood, of Alabama, as the democratic
presidential candidate would mean
that business men of the country need
not worry that they would be bur-
dened with additional taxes, former
United States Senator Joseph W..
Bailey, of Texas, declared today at
the opening session here of the South
ton. Mr.. Bailey's appearance as a
speaker was unexpected and he was
given an ovation.
Taxation is rapidly approaching
conhscation in the United States" he
said. IF | had a million dollars and
died tonight the taxes would eat up
about 100000 and my family would
get the residue This acts as a dis
enlargement to thrift and ambition.
This procedure is monstrous, unjust
and a folly. Every nation which has
excessively taxed its industries has
been the sufferer in the long run.
Il know it has been the policy OF
business men not to tackle the gov
ernment until the government tackled
them, but | believe in this instance
they should take Time by the fore
lock and assert themselves. | believe
that if the republicans nominate
Harding again and the democrats
choose Oscar w. Underwood as their
standard bearer business and indus
try of this country need not worry
that they will be burdened with any
additional taxes"
Spread of Radicalism Alarming.
John H. Kirby, of Houston, Texas,
president of the association, in his an
nua address, devoted his remarks
largely to a depreciation OF what he
termed the spread of radicalism in the
country. He said there were millions
OF radicals in the United States and
that radicalism is being taught in
some of the schools.
There are 100000 reds in this
country today whose sole activity is
the spreading of propaganda in effort
to undermine this government and
especially the guarantees of the con-
stitution," he declared. 1--WE know that
foreign money, and principally Rus
sian, is financing their activities and
we know that in dark halls when you
are asleep they are working aggres-
sively on their plans.
But these 100000 reds are not the
only menace. There are 100000 rad
icals working day and night to the
same end. Their war is on what they
call capitalism, which is but another
way of expressing their opposition to
the right of the citizen to own prop
erty."
The last word is the one that lasts.
Be careful with it.
