women regis tered or to vote If they are allowed it will be the This speech was reported in the press was never denied and is in line with ether speeches made bv the con testant throughout the says reply says if he were so dis posed he could prove that the friends and supporters of the contestant cir culated throughout the district the most vicious false and slanderous re in regard to the public

prejudices of the people by charging that if the Democratic candidate for President should be elected all Pjotestant churches would be destroyed and the whole country turned over to dominion of the Ro man Catholic churchy But this con testee does not ask for any votes for his opponent to be rejected on account of raw' heads and bloody bones used by friends and supporters of the contestant to frighten the people from voting the Democratic ticket contestee denies a single friend or supporter of contestant was kept from voting by threats violence or any other means of intimidation on the other hand that real intimida made in the district were by friends and supporters of contestant and contestee is prepared to prove that in some precincts of several counties women who were friends and support ers of contestee and who desired to vote for him were prevented from re gistering or going to the polls on ac count of threats made disturbances created and actual physical violence exerted by friends and supporters of contestant and that' in certain pre cincts of these counties election offi cials were forced by threats and ac physical violence by friends and sppporters of contestant to permit his friends and supporters to register and vote when they were not lawfully en titled to do so to paragraph 3 contestee alleges registrars and judges of elec tion were appointed as required by

the gestions A retail sales tax was pro posed of approximately one per cent sha1! be paid monthly by the re tailor on his gross sales The refail'sales tax proposal was the ground of a verbal battle but in view of the committeees recommendations and reasons for favoring such a vote was cast in the affirmative: It was felt that this tax is more equitable in its distribution surer of its incidences simple in comparison with the present simple in comparison with presvm methods and that Government reve nues under this system are based up on something tangible and that each taxpayer knows his tax liability It means that the twenty five per cent and more addition to the present cost of living will be reduced to something 'ike threee or three and a half per cent bthcr recommendations included opposition to a graduated undistntnit cd earnings tax on corporations that each individual stockholder of a cor poration should not be required to pay his own normal tax that incomes from new issues such as Government arm Loan Bank and like issues should not be made subject to tax that incomes of American citizens derived abroad and not remitted to the United States should exempted from taxation that profits arising from the sale of capital assets should be allocated over the period in which edrned and taxed at the rates for the several years inhat period an exchange of property of like or similar nature should be construed as merely replacement and that "paper thereby aenveu should be made subject to tax that net losses and inventory losses in any taxable year should cause rede termination of taxes on incomes of the preceding year In view of the difficulty in adjust ing complaints and differences arising from income taxation it was strongly recommended that the administration of income taxation should be decentral ized by means of providing district along the lines of ederal Re serve Boards or some similar divis ions these boards to be known as ar hitmtinn boards whose decisions shall be final except on appeal to a centra board at Washington which board shall be independent of the Treasury Department It was also recommend ed that payment of income taxes should be preceded by ascertainment of such taxes by the Government and that the individual should not hve to assess himself Resolutions of the Good Roads Committee requesting the county commissioners to increase the road tax from eleven cents to twenty two cents and that bonds be issued to the extent of $250000 to pay off the floating debt of the bounty and $50 000 to provide revenue with which to
