HARRIS SPEAKS ON
AMENDMENT REDUCING
NUMBER INCOME TAXPAYERS

Washington, D. c., May 7-Speak-
ing in support of his amendment to
the income tax bill to raise the per-
sonal exemptions of single persons to
$1,000 and the heads of families to
$4,000, Senator Harris, Democrat. of
Georgia, said the provision would
reduce the number of federal tax
payers by 2,500,000. The loss in rev.
enue would amount to only $18,OOO,-
O00, Senator Harris estimated, be-
cause of reduction in administration

Objection
TO my mind" Senator Harris said.
the greatest objection to the Mellon
plan which the senate finance com
m1ttee on strictly party vote has
adopted and to the revenue bill as it
passed the house is their failure to
furnish greater relief to men and wo-
men, particularly to those with fami-
lies whose small incomes are complete
ly absorbed in providing the neces-.
sites of life.
When the sixteenth amendment
was adopted to authorize an income
tax to be collected those who favored
it never dreamed it was to be so per-
verted as to thrust the hands of the
tax gataherer into the pockets of the
laborer, farmer and small business
man and to take from them the nee
essities of life while it relieved the
rich of their fair share of the tax
burden they could 90 easi1r cnrr,.w

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-ROOt

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence OF DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper-Advertisement.
