From all hands comes protests a
gainst the making Of political CAPT
toll out Of the reduction Of taxes.
The people are in no mood to be car
ried away by patty politics, when in
fact it is not question out Of which
to dea! policial issues.
Democrats are suffering from the
tax burden as well as Republicans
and now that the financial condition
will bear reducing they can not stand
still and see party issue made at
their expense, and if they do not
unite with the Republicans in reduc-
ing the taxes in way that reaches
to the rich and poor alike, the re-
suit of this will not redown to the
party's gain that is seeking it, when
the November election comes around.
The people are too intelligent, and
too well posted on the conditions to
be deluded, or mislead to their fur
Their ruin, for the sake of political
advantage, but from the indications
from the public press from differ
emit parts of the country, the people
are Disguised at the effort to make a
political issue out Of the tax reduc-
ton question, and the public press
are the educators of the people far
above the platform.
What have the Democrats to gain
from such action? Do they think the
majority party, which is responsible
for the conduct of the government,
will abdicate its place and cease
functioning? No they will prove
loyal to the very principles that
should be burning in the breast of
every patriotic person to day, act in
relieving the country of the burden
of the war with the same spirit that
prompted the action that acted in
the very beginning of the war ex-
pense.
Now if a fair and just tax reduct-
ed is thwarted by the partizan spirit
that is seen here, the people will GER
taiLly resent it in the November
election, and the Democrats will suf-
fer defeat in sections that now may
appear fair to consider their field but
tax reduction is possible, and Secre-
tary Mellon has suggested the lines
of action, and he is better position to
know that any man in or out of Con-
gress, because he has successfully
conducted the greatest financial in
stitution of the world, the Treasury
of the United States, and done it well
because he has given his time and
thought to the conditions and the
means that should be used to relieve
the people of the present rates of
taxes.
