New Dry Party Is

Form Another Group.
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.”

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! He is making a grent;
noble fight *o preserve the hon
»• and credit cl our State, and to1
maintain nnr institutions
