ty-.ive Georgians will receive more benefit in
the way of income tax relief than they
would have obtained under the Administra-
ton plan; whereas only twenty-four would
have Jared better under the Administration
plan This is true in principle of all the
nine hundred and eighty-four income tax
payers will be benefited by the Democratic
more than they would have been by the
Republican plan, whereas only twenty-five
would have found the Republican plan more
to their advantage. In Florida the figures
are 1925, against IA; in Tennessee, co.
$50 against 10; in North Carolina, 44,123
against 50; in South Carolina, 25,154
against g. Passing from the Southeast to the
the larger centers of population and wealth,
one finds the same principle in yet more
striking illustration. In New York 1,O64, 587
citizens who make income tax returns are
helped by the Democratic more than they
would have been by the Republican rates,
while the cases in which the reverse would
have been true number 1850. So, too, in
against 274; and in Pennsylvania, where
they are 62O,270 against 833. So in New
England, so in the Middle West and the
Southwest, so from the Great Lakes to the
Rockies and beyond. The Garner-Simmons,
that is the Democratic, measure of federal
income taxation, relieves 6,656,O67 Ameri-
cans more than the Republican Admnistra-
tons plan would have relieved them; while
only 6,109 would have been more benefited
by the Administering plan.
The meaning of the record is clear. Pres
ident Coolidge and his chief counselors are
looking after the interests of a fortunate
few; Democracy is most concerned for the
welfare of the rank and file, most DESTROYS
that all should receive justice and therefore
unwilling that any should receive discrimi-
natory favors. To Democracy it is that we
owe the reduction in this years payment of
income taxes and the further relief vouch-
safed for 1925 To the party of Woodrow
Wilson and of John W. Davis we owe the
law which treats the common rights of six
million citizens as being of more importance
than the special privileges of six thousand.
Good sense and due regard for American
principles bid us give that party the indorse-
ment it so well has earned and the support
it so abundantly deserves. Let us back it
with our dollars now and with our votes on
November the fourth.

Democracy and the Taxbauer

- UT of approximately sxty-eight thou
| sand Georgians who make federal in
come tax returns, sixty-seyen thou
sand, six hundred and ninety-five will re-
ceive larger reductions under the Democratic
tax measure, which was enacted last spring
with the aid of independent Republicans,
than they would have obtained under the
so-called Mellon plan, which President Cool
idge did his utmost to force through Con-
gress; while only twenty-four Georgians
would have received larger reductions under
the Mellon plan than under the Democratic
bill. This fact, which may easily be verified
to show how great gulf there is between
the present Administration and the believers
in truly popular government. The one would
place the heaviest burden of taxation on the
earned incomes of the rank and file; the
other would see to it chat while none is
taxed unjustly, there should be reasonable
much is given of him shall much be re-
quired"
The Mellon plan, to which President
Coolidge was so welded that he once tacitly
threatened to veto any substitutes which
should not follow its main lines, was quite
characteristic of Republican tax methods In
his first official stateemnt concerning tax
revision, Secretary Mellon recommended
rates which would have lightened the load
of only those taxpayers whose annual in
comes were sixty-six thousand dollars or
more. When asked by members of the
House ways and means committee what
could be done for the relief of those whose
incomes were less than siXty-six thousand
dollars year. the Secretary had nothing to
suggest. When asked further what should
be done to compensate the treasury for the
revenue which would be lost through the
cut in taxes on the larger incomes, he pro
posed to double the existing rates docu-
mentary stamp taxes, to place a two-cent
stamp tax on every, bank check regardless
of whether it should be for one dollar Or for
one million, to increase the f.,st-class post
age rate from two cents to three cents and
the rate of post cards from one cent to two
cents; and to levy a license tax of ten dol
lars on all motor vehicles, from the Iowliest
flivver to the lordliest limousine. These sug-
gestions, which would have added some
three hundred million dollars to the taxes
of the people and have allowed reductions
on no incomes less than siXty-siX thousand
dollars. were not followed. But they re-
veaed mainly enough the trend of the Ad-
ministra>-on's thought and furnished the ba-
sis in principle upon which Secretary Mel
Ions plan, so holly contested at the last
session of Congress- was constructed.
1t was the opposition of Democrats, rein
forced by insurgent Republicans, which de
feated that iliberal plan; and it was the
initiative of Democrats. supported by insur-
gent Republicans. which produced the Gar
ner-Simmons bill, finally enacted despite
President Cooldges protest Under the
Garner-Simmous measure, as we have said,
