enacted fiscal legislation for the ben
efit of 2 per cent and against the in
terests of the 98 per cent. Ho said:
"In 1920, the Republican platform,
then drafted to meet eVigericics, de
clared as follows on taxation:
" 'The wholo fiscal policy of the
Government must be deeply influenced
by the necessity of meeting; obliga
tions in excess of $6,000,000,000 which
matures in 192.'?, but sound policy e
qually demands tlie early accomplish
ment of the real reduction of the tax
burden . ... tax laws which do
not excessively mulct the consumer or
needlessly lopress enterprise und
thrift. . . .'
| "The plattVynu was written in gen
i reralities, all platforms, to obtain
the confidence of the 20,000,00tf peo
ple who voted at the election and to
assuie them that their taxes would be
relieved. The platform did not refer
to excess profits luxury taxes, or sur
taxes, nor to Pullman nor parlor ear
ttixfs. It just talked to the multitude.
read that platform promise, every
'consumer' who read it believed it was
addressed to him and to her.
"The 98 per cvnt of the 26/)OO,ttO0
voters who do not pull down excess
profits nor high surtaxes did not know
that this platform utteranee_jm taxes
meant a remittance of over a half
billion dollars in excess profits and
high surtaxes paid by the 2 per cent,
nor did the 98 per cent know that in
addition to that interpretation of the
party platform it was proposed that
•the half billion dollars so paid by trie
,'2 per cent in annual taxes would he
sfiiftsd over to the 98 per cent thru
a consumption tax mi necessaries of
life, so as to 'mulct tine consumer.'
"In other wWds the platform was
read intelligently and understanding!}'
only by the 2 per cent, who immed
iately began a campaign for tax shift
ing, which the Executive has said was
against his understanding of the afore
said platform prohibiting 'shifting'.
"The last political campaign waij
1 not waged. It moved automatically
like a tidal wave, without extraneo.is
force, and it offered an Invitation to
I every disgruntled faction against n
common political foe. W;uMv, extrav
agance, political dictation, taxation the
League of Nations," and innumerable
banners led the victorious and
swung the political pendulum to the
1 farthest extreme, and in thie swing
ing operation the 9H peer cant furnish
r ed a very conspicTous part to tin* mo
mentum compared with the 2 per cent.
"In fact, the 98 per cent had much
L to do Willi the result in 1920. Last
l ' fall witnessed a remarkable wing
back not accounted for by normal rec
ords, but in New York, Pennsylvania
" and elsewhere it seemed po..i ible tli.it
the 98 per cent had heard of the n■ \v
interpivtation to be given to the plat
form plank on taxation.

hold any political office. I commend
