Washington, April 17.—Women prohibitionists swung into the sec ond day of the womans national committee for law enforcement convention yesterday with predic tions of u new dry political party sounded in the keynote address. Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, general chairman of the committed which Includes the leading women pro hllsHirtn (rmimc in 41sn AAtmfnt* cn iri last night that a strictly women’s party to fight for retention of dry laws, was not sought, but that a new coalition of the men and wom en to form the “constitutional party of America'' was “bound to come.” “Women are rising.'' she said “They will drive the money-chang ers and brewers out of our national temple. We thought we had sent men to represent us but they have betrayed the constitution for reve nue and beer. Until women in every state organize for political action as they are doing in many states the cause may be temporarily lost, and with it a far greater cause, our free government. Therefore we, representing ten millions of wom en in ten national organizations, will hold the line.” Senator Sheppard, Democrat, Texas, co-author of the 18th amend ment, was listed as the main speaker. The beer law was attacked by Senator Capper, Republican, Kan sas. “I believe,” he said, "that beer of 3.2 per cent alcoholic content is in toxicating and its sale a violation of the constitution. This beer law is not going to assist in restoring prosperity to the people of the country.” Renew Your health By Purification Any physician will you * • “Perfect Purification of the Sys tem is Nature's Foundatio cl Perfect Health.” Why not VM yourself of chronic ailments that are undermining your vitality f Purify your entire system by tak ing a thorough course of Caiotabs, —once or twice a week for several weeks—and see how Nature re ward* you with health.

For Luxury Tax And Says Farmers Seem Asleep Now To the Editor: I have read with interest your, tather lengthy editorial in Mon days issue of Tire Star, entitled •Ehringhaus—Then and Now.’’ Without any intention of appearing: :o be critical or of entering into a personal controversy on the merits >r demerits of the principles of a sales tax, I wish to state that the editorial appears to be misleading. During the campaign of 1932, Mr. Ehringhaus is quoted as having said i "I have always opposed the principle of sales taxation ex cept as emergency measure , and when all other reasonable sources of revenue have been exhausted.’’ This statement is to clear and :oncise that any school boy can ex plain It. "Except as emergency neasures." Does the emergency ex st? Two years ago politicians and obbyists at Halcigh defeated a :ales tax on luxuries and, as a re sult, appropriations for state insti tutions were cut by the budget :ommission as much as 40 per cent, md even after this major operation | Dovernor Ehringhaus found a dc-j icit of some thirteen million, dol ars hanging over the state when le went into office last January. In he meantime, our state borrowed nillions of dollars in New York, pay ng six per cent interest, probably he highest rate of interest paid by his or any other state since the :ivil war. Does not these facts in licate that an emergency exists? rhe depression is world-wide. The ichest and best governed states of his country have been compelled o resort to sales tax in order to maintain their institutions. South Carolina enacted a sales tax on lux iries more than four years ago in 'rder to relieve the farmer and joor man. Since ah emergency exists, I favor \ snips t.a.v nr n sftlpft tnv >n luxuries lor the following rea tons: About 60 percent of our people ive on the farm and about half ocf hcse are tenants; about 40 percent )f our people live m the cities and owns; and the negro population institute about 40 per cen;. Not withstanding these facts, it appears hat our landowners who consti tute less than one-third of our en tire population have been paying iO to 90 percent of our taxes. The 'armer is at the end of the row. He ;annot be taxed any further. Still here must be taxes and revenue to support our schools and state Insti utions. Hence the emergency! At this particular time I believe ,hat a selective sales tax. that is. a tales tax imposed upon all luxuries ind non-essentials and unnecessary irticles, such as, tobaccos, cigaretts, ■igars soft drinks shows, etc. These ire not essential to the “widow woman and her children.” And, too, there is still a further class of selec tive sales tax that would not bur ien the "widow woman and her tliildren," neither the farmer of his tenant, nor the poor man with a family living in the city. This is a tax on such luxuries as, to-wlts $1500 automobile: $500.00 piano; all grades of diamonds; $75.00 watch es; men's and ladles’ suits $50.00; lining room suite $300.00; living loom suite $300.00; bed room suites $300.00; etc. Speaking as one of a family of seventeen, having been born and reared on a farm, it is my candid opinion based upon a study of au thentic records of history of some two thousand years that the world uoesn t care a cuss for the farmer, poor man and the "widow and her children." These classes of people constitute the bulk of our citizen ship. Therefore, these types furnish r.n attractive subject for debatB f.hd oratory among our politicians dur ing heated campaigns. I have never heard of any State putting a Sales Tax cn fertilizers and seeds used by farmers. It may be due to gross ignorance on my part, but before accepting the state ment as a fact I would be glad to i have some reference or further in formation as to the States which have adopted such a tax. The pur pose of a sales tax Is to relieve the farmer, to relieve the poor man, to lelieve the “widow woman and her children," not to place a tax cn j farm implements, shoes, flour, ba-; cn, and the actual necessities of life. This is my program. Don't build any more new roads for a period of two years: give us at least an eight months State-wide supported school with no special tax -district; a little more revenue from the tobacco and power trusts; reduce taxes on real estate both city and farm lands; maintain public schools and insti tutions at any cost. Finally, if ne cessary. and Governor Ehringhaus says that an Emergency now exists, five us a selected commodity sales tax—a luxury tax—and not a tax upon the tenant farmer's brogans. >r a tax upon the widow woman's, sa^k of four, or a tax upon th* farm "s fertilizers and seeds. Conclusion: You state that you t-d your paper supported Mr. Ehr-! fhaus for Governor . I did not j ippon him in the primary, for the ! ason that I considered him to be j e pet candidate of certain corpor- j lions. I am for Governor Ehrlng- \ ~ us now!
