UNDERWOOD TALK 1 ON TAX REDUCTION Candidate lor Democratic President ial Nomination Open- Campaign in North W illi Aildri'w I o?l ay. Cleveland January 22 ? Reduction of laxi's "to 1 !j ?? i extent ii,,? I-. bl<*" an. I i ? f th?* soldiers* bonus hill were policb-s advoiated by Senator Oscar I'miiMWooil. caiidi ' date for t i>?- Heuioeratic l're.<id**ntt<?l nomination, in an address h< ri t?? duy opening his campaign in I !:?? north. Tlii' speech, tlflivered :?t a Chamber <?' Commerce luiw he>n. also stressed law observance. Taxation of the people *>t" America. Federal aud stai?-,* "is appro;i< hum the danger point," Senator I'nder wood declaim d. giving figures to show that about one-eighth of the national income was paid to tax;-.*l lectors. The soldiers' bonus, lie asserted, was the "one impediment" to tax re duction and he declared that h?* could not tollow tlie "mental gym nastics" of those who advopjxtjid ilie bonus and tax reduction at the n.uie time. "Kroiu every standpoint,," said Senator Underwood, "I uelieve that it would be mo-it unfortunate io pass the bonus bill and put this additional burden o:r the taxpayer* ??f America. It is unnecessary and a 1st* unfair to the soldier liimncif. A few dollars in the pocket today are not us bene ficial to the young men of America as permanent, stable, and successful business conditions throughout the country, which un doubtedly will be jeopardized if re lief from governmental burdens is not received in th** near future." In his discussion of law observ ance the Alabama Senator said there was organized defia'nee against soiue of the sacred guaranties of the Con stitution, such as trial by Jury, pro tection of the home, freedom of re Jigious work and protection of pro perty." "And these fundamental warran ties of individual liberty, secured by that great charter," he continued; "must fail when passion and petty prejudice are allowed to direct the course of the government, and when an un rest mined- mob directs the af fair* of men instead of even handed justice proceeding trom courts of, law. "The honest and effectual enforce ment of law and order by the courts shonhi and must always !>??. the s?n-j timent foremost in the hearts of iJie i people, it', in the end, this republic J is to endure. It is the plain and ! unmistakable duty of every decent , citizen of this hind lo throw the weight of his disapproval against flagrant violators of the Constitution and the law., in whatever garb th >y | may be found." "In speaking for tax reduction.! Senator I'ltderwood said the people j were being overburdened by ex- | travagunt appropriations of public moneys on One hand, and the reck less and oppressive levies of taxes on ?, the other." "The drain upon the private i resources of the people has already j become so great that it stands f^r-j elbly in the way of business exp?n- ' nion," he said. "It is a drag upon 1 progressive development in almost , every lino of industrial enterprise." Stating that the total national in come was estimated at $58,000,000, 000, Senator Underwood said that local, state, and Federal taxes aggre gated about $7,000,000,000 or o:.e elghth of the people's earnings, while j the national debt had increased by $27,000,000,000. "How far we can carry the burden I and not lose our fooliiiK. no one ran { foretell," Senator Underwood con tinued. "Bu.t the fact remains that we are fast approaching tin- danger polnt; and ir Is apparent, to those | who realize the va^t Importance of a sound system of finance and sMoll-1 it y in business conditions, that labor must he employed and agriculture find its markets, and that we have i ^ reached a point where we must c i 1 1 [ a halt on any further increase In taxation or extension of the national: credit. In my Judgement there can be but one course to pursue and ' that is TO deduce taxes?"*** pediment that stands in the way of this much to be desired result, and; ' that is the soldier's bonus, the so called adjusted compensation bill. In giving consideration to to tbe[ passage of this measure, it must be borne in mind that from the begin-! ning of the Government down* to the! present day the soldiers of every! war in which this nation has been I engaged, except the Great War in Europe, have received only $6,600, 000,000 by way of pension and al lowances. The soldiers of the last war have already received In com pensation, outside of their statutory ?pay, in the neighborhood of $3,000,000,000 in five years' time. I "Of course a great deal of this ex penditure has gone for the care and maintenance of the wounded and dlsah'ed soldiers, who are properly entitled to the first consideration of ttnr OoTprnmfffn: and everybody! agrees tlyit the man who suffered] personal injuries by reason of his ?urns J or scalds of small nrn, cover first with wet bak ing soda.

If we make this debt it must be paid in cash sooner or later, whether we- borrow it from the sol dier by postponing the time when lie is to receive his share, or borrow it from the citizen in order I hat the soldier may be immediately paid; Tie* interest rate and the amortiza tion ch\irge must be paid by the col lision of lax* s from ihe American people. "We must not forget that the great indebtedness of the nation comin:; from the recent jvar not only rests as a harden on this generation but on tin- generations to conic, and. in the end. the soldier himself will bear the larger portion of the Mxes. to pay the' debt, as his apan of life runs lunger than that of the more ] n vi lure men who were not actually j involved on the buttlefront. I "Some of those charged with gov ernmental responsibility are publicly | proclaiming that we can reduce t.ax-j j nt ion and at the same time increase the indebtedness of the country ' undi r bonus hill to the extent? of $4,000,000,000 or $5.000, QUO. 000 To understand such a proposal re- J quires a degree of mental gvmnas-j tics of which I am not capable, and 1 do not believe that the American ' people take such a proposal serious f iy. The Issue is perfectly plain to' my mind. If we do not pass the bonus lull and are economical in our expenditures, we can reduce taxation to th" extent of $300,000,000 or more. If we pass the* bonus bill, we must, expect that the burdens of today, if not the greater burdens of tomorrow, will remain with us Vor the next half century. 'Let us bear in mind that the financial condition of of soldiers who1, came home from tin* Civil War was far more diffhult and harassing1 SEND CHICKENS TO !

North Carolina Poultry Clubs have sent several birds to compete i n Hie Madison' Sq n. i r*? Poultry Show to be held in Ni-tt York City during the week of January 22 to 2S. According to A. CI.

Then, most of them had seen four years of active service. When the [ war of the sixties ended, part of the country was desolate and shortly, I thereafter business was prostrated. There was much distress in the land ! and small opportunity for employ- i | ment. The veterans of that great ! conflict did not ask for a bonus ori for adjusted compensation and did not receive it. 1 am sure that in: the end It would he better for the young veteran of today* to leave an j open account on the credit side of the national ledger, that may come J in good stent for sickness and old , age in the future, rather than to close the account by an adjusted com pensation bill.. in my judgment, the only course. to pursue that will benefit all the people of the United j States and aid in assuring a con tinuing prosperity in the country is to defeat the bonus bill and reduce taxation to the fullest possible ex tent under existing conditions."

IT PAYS TO SWIM WITH THE CURRENT This is about two spark plugs. At the moment they are lying on the sales manager's desk in the establishment of a large middle-western hardware jobber. One spark plug bears a name known wherever automobiles are used, the other a name seldom heard. Roth, says the sales manager, are good plugs. On the score of quality they run neck and neck. "But," he adds, "we arc discontinuing this line" ? and he holds up the plug of unfamiliar name.' "Yes, and our discount on it is larger, too." "What's wrong with it? Not a thing. It's a good plug ? mighty good plug, but ? no one knows aliout it. It isn't advertised ? the other one is. The demand is for the advertised make. And we've learned it pays to swim with the current, not against it." More and more jobbers in every line of business nre learning every day that it pays to swim with the current of popular demand. "Our job," said one jobber, "is to supply mar kets, not create them. Let the manufacturer make a market for his goods ,and we will handle it." Said another ? "Our salesmen carry a catalog with thousands of items in it. They haven't the time to push unadvertised goods. Their work is principally taking orders." If you go among these wholesalers today to in troduce a new product in competition with mer chandise nationally advertised, unless the article is exceptional, you will be met everywhere by the injunction: "First go out aud get a reputation for your goods through advertising." The wholesaler knows by actual contact with dealers how they value speed of turnover, goods which move with a minimum of effort, goods peo ple know about and ask for.

"My wife says she believes she kept off the 'flu' by taking doses of Black-Draught regularly. "I, myself, use Black-Draught for indigestion, and it is fine. "We used pills and tablets and other laxatives, but they never seemed to do us good, but the Black-Draught sure has, and it has come to our house to stay. We give it to our daughter for headache and torpid liver. "I am glad to recommend anything that has been the help to my family that Black-Draught has. "My present health is good.
