Failure of Congress to Pan Income TaxWhat Democratic leaders Think Where Our Money Goee Other Matter. l By Clyde H. Taveaner, Stall Washington Cor .respondent of Tbla Newspaper. . Washington, July 12. One of the crowning sin of the Congress which recently passed into history was its failuae to pass income or inheritance tax j legislation. - All of the first class nations of the world have either an income tax or an in : hentance tax, and many have both. We now raise practically all na tional revenues bv placing a tariff tax on things eaten, worn or used by the people. This syslem is un just because it reqnires t.be working man to pay not less than thou- sand per cent, more taxes u propor tion to his income than a million aire. J; - Our protective-system of course requires the millionaire to pay a tax on that which be eats, wears or uses, but it does not tax him to the ex tent of one penny on his wealth. Thus it might, and lo doubt frequently does, happen, that a sec tion hand on the railroad with a family of six or seven children pays more toward running the national government, toward building battle ships and maintaining them, toward keeping our standing army, than the millionaire bachelor who is 100 . proud to marry and raise children. President Taft, and President Taft alone, mnst bear the brunt of , responsibility for 'the failure of Con gress to tack an income tax provi sion on the Payne-Aldrich bill. A majority of both houses were in fav or of an income tax. Aldrich saw that an income tax amendment . would be passed, and, as usual, ap pealed to President Taft for aid. The President knuckled absolu tely to the will of Bess Aldrich, urging Congress to pass a corpora tion tax instead of an income tax. To fool and console the people the treacherous Aldrich then smilingly consented to a ratification of a con "stitutionallamendment legalizing an income tax, well knowing that ways could be worked out to thwart such ratification, at least within the life of the present generation. But there remains still another chapter of this legislative swindle that the Americon people ought to know about. As an excuse for having killed an income tax, Presi dent Taft stated that the corpora. tion tax should contain a publicity clause which would enable the gov ernment and the people to secure in. formation about the working . meth - ods of the corporations. He held ont the hope this publicity clause , would make it possible for the gov ernment to .hold the law-breaking trusts responsible in court for their acts. . go Congtess passed the ' corpora tion ' tax, but purposely failed to provide funds for the hand' ling of dates which would come in under the publicity claust. Even this was not enough. ' Congress, in the session just closed, completed the swindle on the pub lio by striving' out the publicity feature all together! And Mr. ' aft himself had declared the publicity clause was the most valuable feat ure in the bill! How long are the people going- to stand for Bach treaohery as this? Senator Clapp's Illustration. Senator Clapp of Minnesota, Be publican insurgent, was recently . giving me an interview on the just ness of a tax on incomes. Finally be stopped abruptly and pointed ont of his window. "Tavenner", ,, he said, "notice that .marble .wall - yonder. Which stone ' bears the - gratest weight? , The stone at the -. bottom or the one at the top? Be fore you answer I will add that is lust the way it is without an income tax. - ' Until "the present tariff schedules are revised along - lines of justice, and we have an in' - :voome tax to take some of the burden of taxation from the man at the , bottom, that stone' wall will stand as a deadly paralled to existing con dition. ; : - Two big state' conventions were .held recently. .Pennsylvania tie publicans declared as follows on the : tariff: , ' We bel-'eve that the tariff bill recently enacted is in accord with ' tJin Rennhlican Dolicv expressed! in ' its last national platform, v We agree with President Taft that it is the best tariff the Republican party )NG AND HAMMER. Judge i Solicitor of The .Tenth Dis trict wrttaomlnatlon bv Acclamation Hal M. Worth Chairman Executive Committee. ; Lexengiion, July 8. Judge B. F, Long and Solicitor W. 0. Hammer were unanimously renominated by acclamation in the tenth, judicial Democratic' convention in Lexington this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Secre tary George B, Nicholson of States ville called the convention to order and asked Col- W. P. Wood of Ashe boro to preside. R. Lee Wright of Salisbury, in an elegantly worded speech, announced his withdrawal from the race li st week, and put Judge Long in nomi nation. Mr. ' Nicholson seconded the same and the motion was carri ed amid enthusiasm. L. C. Cald well, of State8ville, in an applause, winning, short, but bnllant speech nominated Solicitor Hammer, and R. . Austin of Albemarie, who had withdrawn from the race, seconded the, nomination, and again the nom ination was made unanimous with applause. Mr, Hammer responded to calls for a speech, as did Con. gressman R. N. page and venerable Uapt. U. C. Kobbins. Hal M. Worth of .Randolph was made chairman of the executive committee, with S.'W. Finch, Jacob Stewart, J. R. Blair, L. H. Clement, J. R. Price and R. C. Puiyear, and George B. Nicholson secretary. M he attendance was good and the delegates were in fine spirits. Char lotte Observer. Judicial Nomination. The twelfth judicial convention in session July $, nominated, for Solicitor George vV. Wilson, of Gas ton Couaty, on the 840th ballot.

Said the Ohio Democrats: - "We demand a revision of the present unjust and oppressive tar iff, reducing the rates so as to lower the prices imposed on the consuav ere." Consumers, it is up to you Think the matter over! What Democratic Leaders Think. "In my opinion the next House will be Democratic by a majority of between forty and fifty, said Uhair man James T.? Loyd, of the Na tional Democratic Congressional committee. Mr. Loyd is. in close touch with political conditions in practically every congressional dis trict in the country, and is generally reported among his colleagues as more likely to be over-cautious than over-confident, if anything, when making political prognostications. Minority Leader Champ Clark pre' diets the Democratic majority in the next house may possibly reach seventy-five. Republican Extravagance! When the Republicans took con' trol of the .Federal government in 1861, the expenses of the government were about $65,000,000 aannally, nearly $l,000,00o,000 less than now As Hon. James G- Blaine says in his Twenty Years in Congress: The leaders of the Democratic Party had guarded the treasury with unceas ing vigilance against every attempt at extravagance or corruption." The result of -this frugality and honesty was seen in the -annual ex penditures. Economy in public ex penditures has always been a cardi nal principle of the Democratic party. The appropriations for the four years of Cleveland s admims tration were less than one half the appropriations of the last four years of Kepublioan rule. - -, where Onr Money Gee.

Deer Pat: The democrats down in this neck of the woods is a little bit out of heart since the prize fite at Reno went republican, an they've about gftfit in their heads that the balance the ticket will git elected, cause 'Johnson got through all rite. They.ve got np a dispute, an not a 5ne of them can fine who's rite. Kay can you tell us who's rite? Was iay can you ieii ub wno s ncer was it Johnson that come from West Ver- ginny or was it some body else? If you cant tell us who's rite I gess we'll have to submitt the question to that Annanies Tarf club over in 0 ha tarn county, or to that feller that rites for the Cawkashyun what beat Annaniee. That feller that rites from the Far End down in Chatam iz a daizey. 1 never heard tell of that place be fore, but I gess its no difference anyway, for the old feller dont rite with any sence anyhow. He keeps talking about them refusdin bonds what the Gcvner issued. I gess he's a desenlent of them Carpet Grab bers what the radicles sent down here jist after tne Sivil War to steal what the Yankee -Doodles left, an they waz the truest radicles the world ever seen till the present set got into offis. They never have had a first class radicle grabber in offis till Ballinjer got id; but he haz made up all loss time and got some ahead fur the next man in case he's too slow. I waz a talkin tother day to an old time republican, one that waz raised that way, an he waz a honest man mistaken in hiz crowd. He sez they've been disgraoed by that man Ballinjer, an the old Rich erd must go. No he'll not go, for Taft waz a lookin for jist that kind of a feller. Garfield waz to strait in the bizness cr Taft would never have turned him out. Taft was afraid of any man that had the endorcement of the mity bulleliphant hunter late from Afriker. Now aint they in a mest? They cant git rid of old Joe, the mity cussei; an old Alldritch, the mity price raiser. They've been scared allmost to death till one of their men, Jack Johnson won out in the 15th district. That abominatable Taf t Bill has divided the party into two fractions, one side with the honest men who believe in workin for a livin, an the tother like Joe Cannon an Nelse Alldritch who believe in oollectin their livin out of poor peeple with the Tarf Law. Then they' found that the sugar trust, one of their little infant industries which they had taken into the govermint or phanage through the Tarf Law, had been a steelm for 29 years, an they make out like they dident know it. They wuz like the old man who had a 3d eye in the back of his head so he could see a comin an a gwine; they stole from the people throagh the Tarf Law, an from untie Sam by springs in their weighin ma. chines. How can a father expect to Steele, an teach his children Jo be honest? The radicle party is daddy of the trusts, an when they Steele elections all over the country by making the trusts pay for them dont they know that their little in fant children the sugar trust, the meat trust, the STEELE TRUST (the only one that is true to its name) are a goin to Steele too? Then there comes the Postil Sav ins Bank bill. Now, what about it, anyhow? The banks have been ptiyin four per sent on the money that peeple deposit for a long time, an now the governmint comes in and wants to fool peeple into puttin their money in the postoffises at two per sent. Now, aint that the dickens? Tryin to get two per Bent out of the farmers. Now what's the govermint agoin to do with the money ? Its agoin to put the money in the banks, an of course that means the national banks, an it's agoin to charge them two an one fourth per Bent for the money. So the banker will make one an three fourths per sent, the govermint one fourth per sent out of the money the peeple deposit in the. Savins Banks at the postoffises, an the feller who deposits it will jist lose two per sent. That's all there is to it. No wonder Taft urged sich a bill as that through Gongriss. Why, the big rich radicles cut North will make millions an millions of dollars out of the Postil Savins' bill. -Say, why cant the government pay four per sent on deposits if our own little banks can do it ? You tell the fokes that we've . got good banks at Ash bur, Libertee, Ramsoor andRandel min, an they had better put their ROBERSON-WO0SLEY. The Bride a Host Popular Teacher lu the Greensboro Public Schools The Groom Also An Educator. The wedding of Miss Florence Roberson, of Guilford College, and Prof. O. V; Woosley, of Asheboro, attracted a large number of their many friends. While the guests were assembling Miss Blanche Daw son played Mendolshon's Spring Song, after which Mrs. Michaux sang, "Because God Made Thee Mine." As Miss Dawson played Lohengrin's Wedding March, the bridal party entered. First came the groomsmen, Dr. D. K. Lock hart and Mr. J. A. Spence,of Ashebo ro ; Mr. N. Rush Hodgin and Mr. Terry Sharps, of Greensboro, fol lowed by the bridesmaids, Mits Myrtie Thorn, of Greensboro, and Miss Alice Woosley, of Guilford College, Mies Clara Boren, of Po mona, and Miss Etha Woosley, of Ramseur, N. C, atcired in white lingerie and carrying sweet peas of variegated colors. Next came the maid of honor, Mias Josephine Griffin, of Woodland, who wore a gown of yel low messaline, and carried a beauti ful bunch of white sweet peas. She was followed by the dame of honor, Mrs. E. R. Michaux, of Greensboro, sister of the bride, wearing white crepe over yeuow sillr, and also car rying white sweet peas. The bride then en'tered, preceded by little Miss Cammie Boren, who scattered sweet peas before her on the arm of her orotner, Mr. ueorge, Robertson, by (V horn she was ?iven awav. The bride was beautifully gowned in a wnue Baun princess with pearl orna ments, and wore a tulle veil decorat ed with orange blossoms. She car. ried an armful of bride's roses. They were met at the altar by the groom with his best man, Mr. B. F. worn oie, or winston-oalem. Miss Robertson was a most nonu- lar teacher in the Greensboro graded schools, and has a large number of trienas. The bride and groom left imme diately for Greensboro, where they ooaraea tne north oound train tcr Washington, Atlantis City and other points. Mr. and Mrs. WooBley will be at home after September 1st at Ashe boro. The fall accountof this marrriage was too late for last week's issue. No Break in Deadlock Convention Ad journed. At the Fifth District Democratic convention in Greensboro last week, the votes were as follows on the 314th ballot: Stedman, 149.93 Jones, 155.20 Royster, 80.56 Mebane, 16.41 The meeting adjourned to meet again July 26 at-3. o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Pamplin and two boys, of Goldsboro, are guests at the home of Mrs. Pamplin's sister, Mrs. T. J. Gattis, in Piedmont Char lotte Concord Times. money .n them an git four sent in terest than to lend it to the Radicle Postil Savins banks at two per sent. I've rit now till I am tired, Pat, but this robbin the peeple of their hard earned dollars by pretending to take care of their money and pay em for the use of it ought to oblit erate the last semblance of a party that is made of trust money, led by Joe Cannon cracker, an does nothin but make prices of livin go higher, shut down our cotton mills cause they cant sell the goods, try to put the price of cotton and corn low cause the farmer makes it, and then bawl like a Jersey yearlin with the distemper about prosperitec. I'm hot under the collar about this last outrage in takin advantage of poor peeple by pretendin to take care of their money an pay em inter est. An they wont pay more than half what the banks are already payin an are glad to pay for money deposited as long as three months at a time. Tell the fokes to stick to their own home banks, for these new Radicle Postil Savins Banks dont pay but half as much as our own home banks. Again that pros peri tee? Your bruther, Mike Dooganshield, P. S. Tell the Democrats not to git out o' heart cause Jtck Johnson won over Jeff, for Teddy got licked when he tried to run the New York Iegislacher. So while the R adiclea got on top out at Reno they got di vided out at Albany, an thei r pros pecks is not very good. -
