ASK CONGRESS TO TAX
MAIL ORDER HOUSES
Petitions to That jfcffect Signed by Business Men o |
Many Stated Should Siiare in the Burden
of Taxation.
Washington, Jan. 24,= ? Business
men of the several SuRbfc are peti
tioning members of Congress 10
enact some legislation that will tax
mail order house#. The plea la made
t&at all local enterprise* are com.
pelled-.to keep bp tiie ?lo?Ututlons
and public Improvements In the
communities they serve while th-?
mail order houses pay nothing, al
though benefiting very largely from
the great public Improvements. !
I The petitions, although coming
lrom States that are widely Beparat- j
ed in somo Instance*, are of the same
form. The petition reads, in part: |
"As it is now, every business cor)- j
corn in our town and county must'
bear a part of the expense in thej
building and keepiug up of good ;
roads and bridges, in the keeping up '
of our schools and in the establish
ment and keeping up of our farmers
Institutes, agricultural colleges and
Institutions of learning, that all liv
ing in the Stat^may be benefited and
made more prosperous.
| "We. the local business men, In
Ittye past have borne this expense and !
[we do not feel that It is fair that
KHocnrns srinn? entirely liy rra J
direct to consumers, should be pc
initied io reap the ben -Tits o f th
wor't and expense v.*e have gono to
without contributing thc:r portion
toward fur her development
"Ab it is cow, individual State.,
or counties, have no right Vor auti;_

I ct in any way from th -re concern a
because ol their h-'r.g exerop*
through tb?* workings of the Inter
slate commerce laws.
"Every hone3t. legitimate mer
rliant fee!- that ho has been ser
iously ha* Jk-apped. and his efforts
discounted, because of drc-^tloit,
fraud, and mierepresen ation being
used in advertising matter spnt out
by certain concerns. This is another
matter that we find li hard to res -
edy or correct, because of the recer *
provision of the interstate commerce
laws. Wo fool this, too, should b^
taken Into consideration and legis
lation enacted which will covpol all
concerns to glvo a tru*? and hone- ?

MUCH DEBATE OVER 'ME
RURAL POST ROADS liiEL]
Measure Brought Up in the House Saturday and Con
tinued Today. .Congressman Tilln.au Expresses |
His Views.
Washington, Jan. 24. ? In defense
of the rural post road bill, which
was debated in the House Saturday
and contluuod today. Congressman
Tillman ef Arkansas, put up a strong
argument for the bill and urged
that It be pa#sed. He Raid In part:
Mr. Chairman, this seem* to be
quit* a field day for the freahmon. I
Quite a number Of new membera are '
plunging In thla afternoon, and
It well enough to give them an op
portunity to be heard.
I was somewhat* disappointed by '
the speech of the distinguished gen
tleman from New York (Mr. Magee).
1 apeak with respect of him and of
hia great State. Bat the doctrine
which he enunciated If applied to
rhe Booth-would be considered by us
an unfortunate ?no. and would be
considered by many cltlsens of New
York aa an unfortunate doctrine.
The gentleman used the expression
that New York ought not to be
mulcted In the svtn ot $8,000,000 <
for the purpose of building up htgh
wsys thousands of miles from. Newj
York. If we applied that doctrine
to Arkansas, to tb? Southern States,
where the negro population is larg?,
we would be erIUetsed by. the gen
tktUm.tnm fork, ..1 prop.
nately pay but llttlo tax, pay but a
small school tax; asd yet, whonevt r
an effort Is made by a southern le- -
islator to Bfgr gate ti.n Uxor, paid
tho white people for the benefit
white schools oniy, Democratic leg
islatures a' ways vote nuch measures
down ovcrwnelralngly.

W Hi the Democrats In Congress
' urplet lj* disoreanlrod on the sub

has be?*n rartde to realize that nn

iu which the- administration has
?oncr.t-ated every efTort in the preo

Emerging from the spell of tecla
r!on that has surronnded him almost
from the time he became President,
Mr. Wilson will leave Waahiajton
npst Friday to carry the flght Into
'he middle west. Subsequently there
will be other trips. Upon the extent
?jf which, by this means, he can a
ouse public support for his program,
cuny depend his chances for reelec

And with the prospect, freqnently
*i*1d out of late. that he will be
