GOV. LANDON TO VISIT INDIANA Republican Nominee Plans For New Campaign Tour Topeka, Kans., Sept. 29. <U.R; Gov. Alf M. Landon, declaring himself convinced that corn belt and | dairy state voters were determifi | cd to turn out the new deal, announced today that he would set out again next week on one of the most significant thrusts of the 1936 campaign. Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and Michign the bloc of midwestern states which Landon advisers consider the decisive battleground of the election —will be visited by the Republican presidential nominee. "The people are in a fighting mood," Gov. Landon said as he returned optimistically from a week long campaign through Missouri, lowa, Minnesota. Wisconsin and Illinois. "There will no slackening in the campaign. I shall leave on another trip next week with speeches in Chicago Oct- 9; in Cleveland Oct. 12 and in Detroit Oct. 14." In Chicago it was understood, Gov. Landon will discuss the question of balancing the budget —a slogan that figured prominently in his rise to national fame. The governor's advisers describd the just completed journey as lof importance in spurring Republican confidence, but they considered the next midwestern trip significant as likely to Illustrate the temper of a section claimed by both parties and certain to sway the final outcome to a marked degree. Following rear-platform appearances last night before large crowds in lowa and Missouri, Gov. voiced his impressions of the trip in a more confident fashion than at any time during the campaign. “Travel during the past week through the corn belt and dairy states of the middle west leads to the conclusion that there has developed in these states a determination to end personal government in Washington with its squandering of our resources, its waste, extravagance and incom-

petence. "The farmers, the dairymen and the industrial workers, regardless of party lines, are deeply concernI ed, as they should be, with the I problems of government and the future of the country. They uot only are diaiurued but aroused by ! the tendencies of the present national administration. "The farmers are aware that the administration's agriculture policies iwnelixe plenty ami reward scarcity and have robbed them of I foreign markets and home markets as well. The dairymen know their markets have beeu turned over to foreign producers. The workers , realize that they have been made ; the victims under the oloak of , social security of a cruel hoax in * the form of the largest tax bill in history.” o Throne Pretender Fatally Injured Vienna, Sept. 29 —(UP) —Alfonso ’ Carlos of Bourbon, Carlint pretender to the non-existing Spanish throne, died today at his home in ' Theresiana palace. 1 The 85-year-old prince, the 6th ; Carlist pretender since 1883, was ' struck by an Austrian army automobile yesterday afternoon. ‘ He was a grandson of the original pretender, Carlos Maria Isidoro, who was a brother of King , Fernando VII. Since the Carlists ■ do not admit women into their line i of succession, his death without i issue means the extinction of the direct line of the original pretender. i 0 DEMOCRATS OPEN « ... I .(CONTINLED-FROMPAGEONE) fice the debt bad increased to $22,000,000,000. Hoover left bankruptcy of business, foreclosures and dos- ’| ed banks. “it is true that we increased the 'national debt by $10,000,000,000. ’ Os this we paid $2,000,000,000 as soldier bonuses. There is now a ’ treasury balance of $2,000,000,000. • This leaves a net increase in debt ’ frem governmental expenditures of $6,000,000,0000. t "From Hoover you got nothing ' for your five and a half billion dol- > lars. What did you get from - Roosevelt’s $6,000,000,000? "Part of it was spent on the -IcCC camps, which all were not i successful, but which on the main II were of the greatest value in saving the youth of our laud from ’ moral dissolution. Some was spent on the WI’A. This too was not perfect. 1 know and you know that you can not exact the same degree of efficiency from all men. But you obtained new and improved roads, bridges, school houses and many other structures and improvements of a permanent nature. We are leaving (something to our children and our children's children." Gottschalk Senator Gottschalk touched on national issues before entering the question of the state gross income tax. He said: “Landon says that Roosevelt has refused to admit his errors, but Landon is very indefinite as to what Roosevelt’s errors are. “The first thing Roosevelt found was the chaotic banking situation. He said, 'we must banish fear,’ and closed all the bauks until they were able to open with the full confidence of the people. Was that a mistake? I “Very probably Landon must have meant the NRA. Although this act Jias been abolished, its benefits are still going on. The laboring man is even now reaping benefits he never hoped to gain under any administration. Few industries returned to such working conditions after the end of the NRA as were in practice before the enaction of the program. Was that | a mistake? I "The Home Owners Loan Ad ’ , ministration and the Federal Farm

■ Loan program were loaned millions I of dollars by the Roosevelt admin i i istration. Before this time, even - in such a conservative state as > Indiana, the farmers and common ■ people were rebelling against the ; losing of their homes through fore- ■ closure You saw such an Instance at a farm sale in a neighboring county. Were these mistakes? .; “The social security act was the ’ greatest of the New Deal measures. There is no reason why a I j man should reach old age without i; security from the government in ■! which he created wealth. Is there ,; any reason why an industry should i hire young men, keep them until . they are 50 years old and then re- ; i place them with younger and more i efficient men? Are not these men i [ entitled to something for giving | the best years of their life to ere- , atirtg wealth? Now the government is to guarantee that this humane act is accomplished. Was I i this a mistake? i State Taxing Program ■ I “When our state government was formed, little was said of taxation. Little money was needed and what little taxes were paid i were levied against personal propi erty such as horses and wagons. . This was sufficient at that time. “When our new state constitution was written in 1860, Robert Owen, a brilliant thinker and ; founder of the New Harmony exi perlment, proposed the method of i taxing retfl estate, the only wealth which produced an income at that. ' time. This was sufficient for theneeds at that time. "As long as real estate was high, ! the tax rates were low, and the people contented. Along about 1915. real estate dropped in value and tax rates went up. At that , time the government began to take . the first steps to find a new source of taxation. Among the earliest were the auto license plates and , the gasoline tax. “Under this system we were able; i to get along until we wanted more , things. We must remember that government comes in packages and that we must pay for each pack- ■ age of government. It is a far cry from the little brick school house ; on eaei-h section, which held school . three months a year and taught i the three ‘Rs'. to the modern, consolidated. well-equipped school of . today, holding classes eight or nine months a year. They cost , more but the people are not will- . ing to go without them. [ The people could stand the real estate taxes fairly well until the I period from 1929 to 1934 when they ■ not only were unwilling but were ; unab'e to pay the excessive rates . caused l»y land devaluation and . poor relief. Had the tax load not i been shifted poor relief alone would have caused some of the rates to soar to $8 or $lO. We had to find ■ another tax source. "Three methods were being used in other states. These were: sales tax; nuisance or luxury tax and diversion of the gasoline tax. We . determined upon a gross income i tax. "Under the gross income tax i every one is exempted up until SI,OOO. Assuming that a common ( laborer earns SBOO a year, he would pay no tax. Under the three per I cent sales tax being advocated by Republican leaders to replace the I gross income tax, he would pay ■ $24 assuming that he did not purI chase anything in small quantities i for which he would have to pay a I larger tax. (In Ohio, under the three-cent sales tax, it is necesi sary to pay one cent for a 10-cent i purchase, although the rate should ; have been one-third cent. This , means that a 10 per cent sales tax i is in effect in practice.) . 1 “On the other hand a man with ; an income of $20,000 a year, and who spends $2,000 a year to live on will pay more under a gross , income tax than under the sales' I tax. Under the gross income tax, he would pay $l9O after his exemption 'nf SI,OOO had been taken.

i Under the sales tax he would pay | only three per cent on the $2,000 i he spends or S6O. He is the one i who is against the gross Income tax, not the average man. “One objection to the gross in-j '; come tax is that in the ease of a: ' i business dofcg a $25,000 a year! • business, a tax of $250 will he required, whether the business earns i or loses money. This Is correct. However. I know of lots of farmers, who paid taxes from 1930 to 1934 on real estate which was losthem money. “There is no argument that we do not need the money. The state docs not spend it. It acts only as i a collecting agency sending the ; money back to the schools, which , would have been closed without it.! ■ I "The issue today is who is going to pay the bill for our govern- > ment, the laboring man or the man i who has a large taxable income, ; but who has no taxable property. "1 know that Mr. Townsend is considering the possibility of increasing the exemption and plans some revisions in the tax law to make it more equitable.
