By the Smith-Lever Dill improvement of agricultural conditions was effected, A corrupt practice act was adopted. A well considered. warehouse act was passed. Federal employment bureaus were created, farm loan banks were organized and the federal reserve system was established. Privilege ‘was uprooted. A corrupt lobby was river. from the national capital. A higher sense of individual and na- tional duty was roused. America enjoyed an unprecedented period of social and material progress. During the time which intervened between the inauguration of a Democratic administration on March 4, 1913, and our entranc into the world war, we placed upon the stat- ute books of our country more ef- fective, constructive and remedial legislation than the Republican party had placed there in a genera- tion. During the great struggle which followed we had a leadership that carried America to gerater heights of honor and power and glory than she had ever known béfore in her Tentire history. Turning from this period of Demo- cratic administration to the last of Republican, it marks the contrast between a high conception of pbulic service and an avid purpose to dis- tribute spoils. Never before in our history has the government been so tainted by corruption and never has an ad ministration so ufterly failed Issues ‘The dominant issues of the cam- paign are created by existing condi- ns. iotsbonesty, discrimination, ex- travagance and ineffeciancy exist in government. The burdens of taxation have become unbearable. Distress and bankruptcy in agriculture, the asic industry of our country, is af- fecting the happiness and prosperity df the whole people. The cost of living {s causing hardship and un- rest. The slowing down of industry is adding to the general distress. The tariff, the destruction of our, foreign markets and the high cost of trans- portation are taking the profit out of agriculture, mining and other raw materials, industries. Large stand ing armies and the cost of preparing for war still cast thelr burdens upon humanity. These conditions the ex- isting Republican adminisgration has proven itself unwilling or unable to redress. The Democratic party pledges it self to the following program: Honest Government We pledge the Democratic party to drive from public places all which make barter of our national power, its resources or the administration of its laws; to punish those guilty of these offenses. To put none but the honest in pub- Ue office; to practice economy in the expenditure of public money: to re verence and respect the rights of all under the constitution. To condemn and destroy govern- ment by the spy and the blackmailer, as by this Republican administra- tion was both encouraged and prac- ticed. Tariff And Taxation The Fordney-McCumber tariff act Ys the most unjust unscientific and dishonest tariff tax measure ever en- acted in our history. It is class again, which defrauds all the people for the benefit of a few; heavily in- creases the cost of living, penalizes agriculture, corrupts the government fosters paternalism and in the long run does not benefit the very in- terests for which {t was intended. ‘We declare our party's position to ‘be in favor of a tax on commodities entering the customs house that well promote effective competition, pro- tect again monopoly and at the same time produce a fair revenue to sup: port the government The issue between the president and the Democratic party {s not one of tax reduction or of the conserva- tion of capital, It is ap issue of rela- tive burden of taxation i of the distribution of capital as affected by the taxation of income, The presi- dent still stands on the so-called Mel- lon plan, which his party has just refused to endorse or mention in its Platform. The income tax was intended as a tax upon wealth. It was not intended to take from the poor any part of the necessi ties of life. We hold that the fair. est tax with which to raise revenues for the federal government is the income tax. We favor a graduated tax upon incomes, so adjusted as to lay the burdens of government upon the taxpayers in proportion to the benefits they enjoy and their ability to pay. We oppose the so-called nuleance taxes, sales taxes and all other forms of taxation that unfair. ly shift to the consumer the bur- dens of taxation. We refer to the @emocratic revenue measure pass- ed by the last congress as distin- guished from the Mellon tax plan as an illustration of tho policy of the democratic party. We first made a flat reduction of 26 per cent upon the tax of all incomes payable this year and we so changed the propos. ed Mellon plan as to eliminate taxes upon the poor, reducing them upon the moderate incomes and, in a les ner degree, upon the incomes of multi-millionaires. We hold that all taxes are unnecessarily high and pledge ourselves to further reduc tions. We denounce the Mellon plan as ® device to relieve multt-million- aires at the expense of other tax payers, and we accept the issue of taxation tendered by President Cool idge Agriculture. estore the farmer again. to econe with other in 1 4 ourselven: ) adopt an international pol such co-oper by direct ad of indir eva Ml means, as will re-| armers export market ng the industrid balance | Kurope and the normal flow of international trade with the ment of Hurope's eoc prob. lems.
