What the People Know.
The chairman really got mad He
raised his voice and he used words
that he didn't learn in Sunday school.
He even went SO far as to say that
the people didn't know what they
were voting for in 1886 when they
authorized an income tax levy as
high as ten per cent of net income.
Pumpkins amendment would have
levied a maximum Of eight per cent
on the biggest incomes.) Senator
Lumpkin kept his temper and suave-
ly commented that maybe the folks
didn't know what they were voting
for, but the same thing applied when
they elected you and me to the Sen
ate"
Coming so soon after Representa-

that maybe the legislature of two

is the responsibility Of the present
