New York Ckv Many Barnwell people had the un usual experience of hearing both United States Senators from Ala bama speak last week—Senator Hef- Inr-orr-the- occasion —of hie visit' to Barnwell Thursday night and Senator Oscar W. Underwood over the radio, his speech at a meeting of the Ala bama Tax Clubs in session in Mont gomery, Ala., being broadcast by Sta tion KDKA at Pittsburg, Pa. Sena tor Underwood has an excellent radio voice and, except for occasional “fad ing” of the signals, every word came in clear and distinct. Afnortg other things, he declared that the present tax measure carrying a maximum surtax of 40 per cent, is confiscatory and should be rewritten along the lines of the law of 1916, when the highest bracket of the surtax was 13 per .cent. He was introduced by Gov ernor Brandon, whose voice became known to millions of radio fans dur- * ing 1 the Democratic Convention last year, when, on everyroll call, he, shouted, ‘'Alabama casts her 24 volts for Ostar W. Underwood.” ’ “Since the very dawri of civiliza tion, taxes and government have been almost synonymous terms and govern ment did not exist where tribute was not exacted from the governed,” Sen ator Underwoo J stated.' “Long ago the most cruel, grasping and avari cious of rulers had learned that through the power to tax, he held the power to destroy the future product ive Capacity of his people” apd that the laying of undue burdens of taxa tion inevitably lead to revolution or death. “There is a school of philosophy ex tant in America today that would de stroy if they could the private owner ship of all property and mass it all in the hands Of the State. Though the avowed advocates of these political keresies are comparatively few in number^, their satellites and-- partial imitators^oyho deny the faith, but who would destc^y those they envy, are approaching nulhbgrs that may in the near-future jeopardize ,the life of * -—-- „ the State. “The very dawning of .civilized life was the recognition of the home unit, father, wife and children, their sus tenance and their protection. The ac cumulation of sufficient property ((food and clothing) to carry on and provide for the future was neeessary that the family unit might persist The destruction of this property by whatever method has always meant the destruction of the home life and the fabric that rests upon it. For un told centuries the ownership or pro tection of this property, the resultant accumulation of the family effort, has remained with the family and niot with the State primarily. The philos ophers of the new schooLwouJd take it away from the family and give it to the State. In a State where there is no Constitutional inhibition, it may be done by direct legislaton. Not so with us. It must be borne in mind that although there is a Constitutional prohibition in the government of the United States against taking private property” 'without just compensa tion, there is no limit placed on the power of taxation, as to amount In the Federal government, and the private ownership of property can be-destroy- ed through the power N to tax. ^ “During the great war, in the high- of the revenue derived from the citi zens estate, and even now, seven years after the conflict is over, our taxes against some men and women are as much as. 46 per cent of their entire taxable income. The question naturally arises. Is this taxation or is it confiscation ? in war time the gov ernment may take the life of the citi zen and I doubt not his property, if need be, to preserve the life of the na tion, but not so in time of peace. The very fabric of our institution cries out against it. Have we forgotten the immortal tea party in Boston Harbor or the speech of Patrick Henry or the ride of Paul Revere that we should become so callous of other men’s rights? Yet if you would follow the school of the Anarchist, why dally with the situation? The power to tax is just as potent a factor to use in the destruction of private property as the red flag or the lighted torch. “I am not prepared yet to say that t^e men possessing the power of gov ernment are conscious of a desire to complnint, and are. entitled to great order thi! our armies might win the war. They had the right to believe that after the war was over they . N. ’ 1 u »—.t. would be relieved in large part from the excessive burdens they had borne without compla'rt. “Many of the war tax burdens have been repealed ^by Jdhi CflDgTess^ jiv eluding the so-called excess profits tax and the small tax on transfers, sales and the like that produce more annoyance than they did revenue. The generaL trend of tax legislation has been downward but nevertheless the burden resting on the larger accumu lation of capital has remained in the confiscatory class. The problem we have to solve is whether it is wise from the standpoint of the whole peo ple to allow the conditions to contin ue. What I have just said applies to the inheritance tax as well as to the income tax.” ' Senator Underwood also advocated giving the President blanket authori ty to abolish various government bu reaus until expenditures are loss than receipts under the new schedule of Architects, Millwrights, Contractors, BuildOrs, Farmers and Carpenters. jV N - Simplex Convertible Level.—A fine Instrument for determin ing rise and fall of the giound before building and plumbing walls during course of construction.

Let us pause for a minute to adjust our fundamental principles. It is a fundamental canon of taxation that all taxes are paid in the end from the accumulated wealth jof the people taxed. Some have said from rent, profit and wages, but in the end all wealth is the accumulation of the as^et that , grows qut of the work of the heads and hands of men and womeb. So that at tlje end of the decade or ^he century the extraordi nary burden laid on the body pgBjic must come from the men who toil and the woman who reap, or there must be a diminution ofthe accumulated wealth of the country that existed when the burden • was laid. The question be fore us is whether the nation is stronger, safer and more productive with a great store r f accumulated wealth or without it.
