REPUBLICAN CONSPIRACY TO DEFEAT TAX
REDUCTION TO MAKE FALSE POLITICAL ISSUE
(Development Of Plan To Create Bad Impression To Fool People
And Enhance Their Campaign Fund Is Shown
By Facts Presented.
(From the Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian.)
By restoring the Mellon rates which cut the higher surtaxes from 50 per cent, to 25 per cent, in the pending revenue bill, the Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee have given additional evidence
MARRIED TWELVE YEARS REFORE BABY CAME
Gladly Recommends Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound
Louisville, Nebraska. — " I was married twelve years before my boy was born. I had a lot of female troubles and had been treated by a physician for them but they continued much the same. Then I read your adver-tisement in the newspapers and thought I would give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a good trial, for if it had helped others, why not me? I have taken 36 bottles of the medicine and am never without it in the house. My baby boy is three years old now and I sure am happy since I got relief from my troubles. When any one has troubles like mine, or any ways like mine, I am always glad to recommend the Vegetable Compound so that they will get the right kind of medicine." — Mrs. Joe Novak, Box 662, Louisville, Neb.
In a recent country-wide canvass of purchasers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, 98 out of every 100 report they were benefited by its use. For sale by druggists everywhere.
of the truth of the charge frequently made that the Republican Old Guard is conspiring to defeat tax reduction at this session of Congress in order that they may make it an issue in the national campaign and falsely accuse the Democratic party of responsibility for the defeat of tax reduction.
The development of this conspiracy to create a false issue to fool the people and to enhance their campaign fund is shown by the following facts:
1. The so-called Mellon plan itself, which provides for cutting in half the higher surtax rate of the very large taxpayers, and which contains the greatest inequality and injustice in the rates relatively paid by an individual business man and one whose income is derived from stocks in corporations—the individual business man paying nearly twice as much as the corporationist. The proponents of the Mellon plan knew or should have known in advance that the Mellon higher surtax rates and the inequities and the injustices in the bill would not meet the approval of a Congress which was elected in protest against the same sort of things attempted by Mr. Mellon in the previous Congress.
2. The substitution of the Long-worth bill for the Garner plan which latter had previously been adopted i nthe House and which gave the most equitable reduction to all taxpayers possible at this time.
3. The readoption of the Mellon higher surtax rates by the Old Guard members of the Senate Finance Committee, trickily taking advantage of the absence of Senator McCormick of Illinois and the illness of SeSnator LaFollette of Wisconsin, both of whom are reported opposed to that feature of the Mellon plan.
