i jffi Dan Dove Makes Statement About Graduated lax My graduated land tax has been attacked as having been borrowed from Stalin and Hitler. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I believe that those who are making such an attack are endeavoring to arouse prejudice against me. The graduated land tax is nothing new. It was advocated in 1920 by Governor Pat M. Neff, who in his great vision also created the Tenant Farm Plan, calling for State credit to be placed behind a iiome and farm ownership 'program.

Short sighted people, some with selfish reasons, defeated this pr'o- rram in 1920, and the same kind of 'oiks r.are trying to defeat it'jifliw, rat not believe they will' succeed, as the small farmer, the'iiier- chant, laboring people jreat. humanitarian citizenship in feneral want their land distributes among home owners in order that churches and schools and prosper- ty- in general may abound in our and. Do not be misled by this issue. It is ridiculous to attack the theory of graduated taxation when it is so firmly 'established as a foremost principle of Democratic form of government. We now have graduated income taxes, graduated chain store taxes, and many other forms of graduated taxes which have existed long before Stalin and Hitler were heard of, and it is insult to the fair name of our most immortal and illustrous statesmen to make such a ridiculous charge as has been made.

I do not publish this article in fear of any possible damage that might accrue to me by these false charges, but I publish it in a sincere desire to keep the public united in its efforts to help the landless farmers of this county, and state establish themselves in homes and on farms of their own. I am more interested in this accomplishment than in any honors that might come to me. Most Sincerely DAN DOVE (Political Advertisement) Texans Let's Go Forwi JERRY SADI BEN H.
