Stevenson's Platform 1. Equality for the voters of the Fifth District who are loyal cit zens. They are now being discriminated against in the followir particulars: (a) Congress is wasting on the average $40,000,000 of dollars year in River and Harbor projects which are practically useless. the Fifth District, and has utterly failed to comply with the 3 stitution to build and maintain its postroads. If it would spel $60,000,000 a year on public roads which it uses for carrying mar it would mean $1,000,000 a year for South Carolina roads and $14, 857 in the Fifth District each year or $20,400 in each county of ftl, District. This Congress with Mr. Finley's help has just passA River and Harbor bill providing for spending $90,000,000.4 would make $1,500,000 for South Carolina or $.30,000 f( county in this District. Now the people are taxed that ar' Rivers and Harbors and get no benefit. Suppose our spent on the roads of the Fifth District, especially th The value of their lands would be doubled. 4. (b) They are discriminated.agpi 4t in wh4-is t:nown as $106,000,000 has been spent in building dams to irrigate thedgte of the West Why not give the'South some of it for public roads (c) The farmers of the Fifth District, as well as other citizens were discriminated against by the act giving free toll to the sI ovrers flying the U. S. flag and engaged in the coastwise tead vhen passing through the Canal and placirg the burden of mair taining the canal on the people instead of those who use it. Thi amounts to millions of dollars and was merely a gift to people wh, are already rich. Morgan & Co., of New York, are dominant il this trade we are informed and the bonds of the shipping com panies are held in Europe. There is no voter of the Fifth Distric who owns either stocks or bonds in such ships. Why tax them t< give money to the millionaires of New York and New England a Europe? Yet Mr. Finley voted to do that thing. Woodrow Wilsi said it was "wrong from any point of view." Mr. Finley followe Champ Clark against the request of Woodrow Wilson and voted tA tax you to keep up the rich, yet when the Fifth District votei wants to ship his cotton or cotton goods or to import his nitrate o soda or Peruvian guano, this moves in ships ,engaged in forei, commerce, and they had to pay toll while the' manufactureis o: New England. New York and Pennsylvania ship their ware.7 - large quantities coastwise to California, h-egon and Washingtoi and hence get the benefit of free toilif the shipper gets any Az)( thp Fifth District is discriminated against agairi and by the vte Mr. Finley. its Congressman. Mr. Stevenson is opposed to th Sd stands with President Wilson on this issue. Finally. He opposes giving away the great water powers. As late as February 24, 1911, with Mr. Finley in Congrss, the3 gave away toa power corporation (Ozark Power Company) a watei right that the Missouri Waterway Commission says will give a nel income of $350;,000 a year on the investment of $2,000,000. ThiiX the people are robbed for the :ich -and there are hundreds of,other like proje-ets. . Do we ever hear of the congressman of the Fiftf istrict objecting? Try a'new mvan.
