A quarrel between Simms and his
wife, Mrs. Ida L. Simms, was the be-
ginning of the trouble. Simms ac-
cUsed his wife of improper relations

ately left the house and was followed

 Only Suggestion. .t The greatest contributing factor in the increase and unbalancing of prices IS unscientific taxation. After having increased taxation and the cost of Ey- ing by two billion dollars, under the Fordney- Cumber tariff, all that fine republican party could suggest in the way of relief was a cut of three hun. dred million dollars in direct taxes and that was to be given principally to those with the largest incomes.
 Although there was no evidence of lack of capital for investment to meet the present requirements of all IeRiti. mate industrial enterprises, and al. though the farmers and general con. sumers were bearing the brunt of tar itf tavors already granted to special interests, the administration was un- able to devise and plan except one to grant further aid to the few. Forum. ately this plan of the administration. failed under democratic leadership aid ed by progressive republicans, a more equitable one was adopted which re- duces direct taxes by about four hun. dred and fifty million dollars.
 The issue between the President and the democratic party is not one of taT reduction or of the converyation oi capital. It is an issue of relative bur. den of taxation and of the distribution Ot capital as affected by the taxation of income. The President still stands on the so-called Mellon plan, which hi, party has just refused to endorse or mention in its platform.
 Wrong Intention
 The income tax was intended as A tax upon wealth. It was not intended to take from the poor any part of the necessities of life. We hold that the fairest tax with which to raise revenue for the federal government is the in. come tax. We favor a graduated tax upon incomes, so adjusted as to lay the burden of the government on the taxpayers in proportion to the benefit they enjoy and their ability to pay We oppose the so-called nuisance taxes sales taxes and all other forms of taxa. tion that unfairly shift to the consumer the burdens of taxation.
 We refer to the democratic revenue measure passed by the last Congress as distinguished from the Mellon tax plan as an illustration of the policy of the democratic patty. We first made a flat reduction of 25 per cent upon the tax of all incomes payable this year and then we so changed the proposed Mellon plan to eliminate taxes upon the poor, reducing them upon moderate incomes and in a lesser degree, upon the incomes of multi-l4 .lionaires. We hold that all taxes are unnecessarily high and pledge ourselves to further reductions.
 We denounce the Mellon plan as a device to relieve multi-millionaires al the expense of other taxpayers, ana we accept the issue of taxation tenderei l by President Coolidge.
 AGRICULTURE
 During the four aof republic government the econonic

jected by their own party To re. tain in power an administration of this character would inevitably re- suit in four years more of com tinued disorder, internal dissension and governmental inetftciency. A vote for Coolidge is vote for chaos.
 The dominant issues of the cam paign are created by existing cOndi- tions.
 Dishonesty, discrimination, extrava- gance and inefficiency exist in gov ernment. The burdens of taxation have become unbearable. Distress and bank ruptcy in agriculture, the basic. indus try of our country, is affecting the happiness and prosperity of the whole people. The cost of living is causing hardship and unrest. The slowing down of industry is adding to the gen eral distress. The tariff, the destruc- tion of our foreign markets and the high cost of transportation are taking the profit out of agriculture, mining and other raw material industries. Large standing armies and the cost of preparing for war still cast their bur dens upon humanity. These condi- tions the existing republican admini- stration has proven itself unwilling or unable to redress. .v
 The democratic party pledges itself to the following program
 HONEST GOVERNMENT Al. 4 A.. drive from public places all which make barter of our national power, its resources or the administration of its laws; to punish those guilty of these offenses.
 To put none but the honest in pub lie office; to practice economy in the expenditure of public money; to rev erence and respect the rights of all under the constitution.
 To condemn and destroy government by the spy and the blackmaiIer. as by this republican administration was both encouraged and practiced.
 TARIFF AND TAXATION.
 The Fordney- -McCumber tariff act is the most unjust, unscientific and dis honest tariff tax measure ever en- acted in our history. It is class legis- lation which defrauds all the people for the benefit of a few, it heavily increases the cost of living, penalizes agriculture, corrupts the government, fosters paternalism and in the long run does not benefit the very interests for which it was intended.
 We denounce the republican tariff laws which are written in great part in the aid of monopolies and thus pre- vent that reasonable exchange of com modities which would enable foreign countries to buy our surplus agricul- tural and manufactured products with aasNltant bsRefit to the toilers and pro
