YOUR GOVERNMENT
(By Stephen M. Young, Congress
man-at large)

An anti-lynching bill is pending
in the Congress. Mob violence from
time to time seems to take the
helm Recently a number of men
have been lynched while lawfully
imprisoned and awaiting trial. This
is a great wrong. Also great dan
ger turks in the abandonment of
constitutional law and order in the
dangerous. They lack judgment.
They are brutal They provoke
anarchy; might, perhaps, ignite
the flame of bloody revolution. 1t
is but step from taking lives of
criminals by mob violence to TAX
ing property from those who pos
sess by those who are hungry and
unemployed. Certainly there
should be a real distribution of
wealth in this country, but let us
pray that it is accomplished by or
derly process. In fact, bloodless
revolution has been under way dur
ing the past year.
1t benefits a representative to re-
ceive advice and suggestions from
his constituents. OF course, some
advice is not SO good. Representa-
tive Brown of Georgia received a
collect telegram from a constituent.
Married yesterday and must have
work You are my Congressman
and I expect you to get me en-
ployment. Wire me Immediately
care Western Union. Any honest
work regardless" Congressman
Brown, peeved, telegraphed back:
"My advice is have your wife apply
for divorce immediately"
Secrecy of income tax returns is
wrong. Unfortunately, my effort
to provide publicity for income tax
returns failed. People should
know who pay taxes and how much.
During three thousand days Of An
drew Melons regime, three bill
lion dollars of income tax was re-
funded-to corporations and in
dividuals-many to large contrib
utors to Republican campaign
funds. This money was collected
in secret and refunded in secret.
There would have been no such re-
funds had publicity attended the
collection and refund.
For three years J. P. Morgan
paid no income taxes to the govern
ment. If a publicity sheet open for
inspection to newspaper reporters
and any interested citizen had been
attached to his 1929 return, it is
safe to assert that Mr.. Morgan
would not have gotten by in 1880
and 1881.
Sweat on, little man! The bat
tie for full publicity for income
taxes, the same as we have in con-
nection with state and local taxes,
will be continued and in the end,
we will win.
