Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 September 1905 — War Tax la Peace Time. [ARTICLE]

War Tax la Peace Time.

Senator Dick of Ohio Is teetotally opposed to meddling with the sacred tariff, but he favors the Imposing of tho Spanish war revenue taxes, especially the stamp taxes. That would be a pleasant prospect for the taxpayers In time of peace. In case of the calamity of a war what would the Republicans propose to tax? About tbe only thing then left would be a direct tax of so much per capita—the poor man would pay as much as the rich man, which is about the case under the present protective tariff law.
