Senator TOICnsend Asks
Victory Push At Dinner
fconiinusd from Fint rassl


Senator Hastings, hitting "falla-
ciouB purchasing power theories Of
the government, ayerred that much
greater good would be accomplished
by reducing, for example. the per
cent manufacturers tax, and held
that a complete revision of the fed
eral tax system would do much more
to alleviate the burden of business
and increase employment.
He pointed out that In 1887 the
larger corporations paid over $500
tax per employee and over $500 tax
Il for each investor, and that these
corporations employed approximate
ly 3.171 900 persons.
Business Seen Crowded
''The tax burden tells the whole
story" Senator Hastings said, at
has crowded business into a stuffy
corner so far that 1t has contracted,
and this contraction has been the
cause of the lack of business ex-
pansion, and, consequently, has
caused greater unemployment and
has decreased the federal income"
Senator Hastings asked Republi-
cans of the State ito forget the past
and work houlder-to-shoulder for
victory at the election in November"
not only in the election of a repre-
sentative in Congress who will rep
resent the people and insure our con-
stitutional rights, but also a Re-
publican State. Legislature.

tion shall continue to be a country
in which good Americans will de-
light to live.
