THE IS DEMANDED BY NATIONS American Party Candidate for President Raps G. O. P. 2and Democrats. Declaring the financial policies of both the Democratic and Republican parties are shaped on Wall street, Gilbert O. Natiops, American party's candidate for President, has issued a statement calling for handling the tax question in a courageous manner. He favors elimination of taxes on incomes of less than $5.000, and such graduated increase of tax rates “on enormous receipts as to render it im- possible to pile up the huge private fortunes that more and more prey upon the public, trample on justice and control the business and politics of the world.” Tax rates on Individual receipts above a million dollars a year, Mr. Nations said, should be virtually con- fiscatory. He advocated a plan under which public carriers doing interstate or international business should be chartered only by the Federal Gov- ernment, and declared methods of in- dustry should be subject to thorough inspection and regulation to prevent unjust and arbitrary fixing of prices and wages to the detriment of the consumer and employe. Against Exempt Bonds. All property not publicly owned, Mr. Nations said, should be equally sub- ject to taxation at uniform ratés, and no future issues of bonds should be exempted. “Private benevolence.” he said, very easily render all ecclesiastical and benevolent activities able to pay their taxes and operate without plac- ing themselves constantly under obli- gation to politicians in derogation of the spirit of the first amendment of the Constitution.” Sharp cuts in Government expendi tures and abolishment of useless Go ernment departments was urged. Mr. Nations was nominated at Co- lumbus, Ohio, June 3. OBSERVES BIRTHDAY. Former Senator John Sharp Wil- liams Celebrates 70th Anniversary.
