PROTECTION OF PROFITS,
THE INIQUITOUS POLICY OF THE
REPUBLICANS FOR HALF A CENTURY
The One Question Eternally Present is the Most Effective, the
Most Efficient and the Fairest Way of Equalizing
the Burdens of Taxation
Mr. Underwood Would Have the Question Solved with the
Determination to do the Right, Safe and
Reasonable Thing
Speech Before the New York Southern Society Dec. 1911
kaleidoscope of political issues must and will continually change with
the changing conditions of our Republic, but there is one question that was
with us in the beginning an. will be in the end, and that is the most effective,
efficient and fairest way of equalizing the burdens of taxation that are levied by
die National Government Of all the great powers were yielded lo the
Federal Government States when they adopted the Constitution of our
country, the one indispensable to the administration of public is the
right to levy and collect taxes. Without the exercise of that power we could
not maintain an and navy; we could not establish of the
the government w . perform its function if the power to tax were
taken away from The power to tax carries with it the power to destroy,
and it is, therefore, a most dangerous governmental power as well as a most
one.
There is a dear and marked distinction between the position of the
two political parties f America as to how power to tax should be
in the inn of revenue at the custom houses .
Republicans Have Always Stood for Protection.
The Republican maintained the doctrine that taxes should not
only he levied fol a of revenue, but also for the purpose of protect
the borne manufacturer foreign competition. Of necessity protection
from competition with it a guarantee of profit. In the lad Republican
platform in the party was distinctly recognized when de-
that they not only in favor of the protection of the difference in
cost at home and abroad also a reasonable to American industries.
Democratic Party for Tariff for Revenue Only.
The party fat rs the policy of its the custom
house by a I that i levied for revenue only, which excludes the
idea g the profits. In my opinion, the dividing
line between the positions of the two great parties on tins question very
clear and easily ascertained in theory. Where the tariff balance the
difference in H II h mi abroad, including an allowance for the
in freight rates, the tariff must be competitive, and from that point
downward to the lowest tariff that can be levied it will continue to be com-
to a greater or leaf extent, Where competition is not interfered with
levying the tax above the highest competitive point, the profits of the
manufacturer are not protected. On the other hand, when the duties levied
at the custom house equalizes the difference in cost at home and abroad and
in addition thereto they are high enough to allow the American manufacturer
to make a profit before his can enter the field, we have invaded
the domain of tin- pi profits. Some men assert that the protection
of reasonable pr. tits t the h me manufacturer should be commended instead
of being condemned, but my judgment, the protection of any mu-t
of necessity have a tendency to destroy competition and create monopoly,
whether the profit protected i- reasonable or unreasonable.
Unfairness of Protection.
You should bear in mind that to establish a business in a foreign country
requires a vast outlay both in time and capital. Should the foreign
attempt to establish himself in this country he must advertise his
goods, establish selling agencies and points of distribution before he can
conduct nil After he has done so, if the home producer is
protected by a law that not only equals the difference in cost at home and
abroad, but also protect a or unreasonable profit, it is only
for him to drop s slightly below the point that the law has
fixed to protect and his competitor must retire from the country
or become a bankrupt because be would then have to sell his goods at a loss
and not a profit if he c to compete. The foreign competitor having
retired, the home could raise his prices to any level that home com-
petition would allow him and it is not probable that the foreigner who had
already been driven out of the country would again return no matter how
inviting the field as long as the law remained on the Statute Books that would
enable his competitor to again put him out of business.
Iniquity of the Protection of Profits.
Thirty or forty years ago when we had numbers of small manufacturers,
when there honest competition without an attempt being made to restrict
trade and the home market h II more than able to consume the production
of our mills and factories, the danger and the injury to the consumer of the
country was tint so gnat . r apparent as it is today when the control of
many great industries been concentrated in the hands of a few men or a
few corporations, because domestic competition was prohibited. When we
cease to have competition at home and the prohibits competition from
abroad by protecting profits, is no relief for the consumer except to cry
out for government n To my mind, there is no more reason or
justice in the government attempting to protect the profits of the
and producers of country than there would be to protect the profits
of the merchant or the lawyer, the banker or the farmer, or the wages of the
laboring man. In almost line of industry in the United States we have
as great natural resources to develop as that of any country in the world. It
is admitted by all hat our machinery and methods of doing business are in

Because he and put

sweeping reduction in the cotton goods

Because he had the manhood to
defy the Birmingham Hoard of Trade,
when tried to intimidate him as to

Because he has introduced a bill

Because he had the courage to
oppose the Sherwood pension grab,

to powerful binders lo resist the
will of today. To break down
these barriers the Instruments of
plutocracy, certain inventions have
been made and are being operated
with such force against the enemies
strongest positions, that the
around and about them Is
fiercest.
The inventions to which I refer, are
the working out of governing
those groat fundamentals Of
government by tho people that are
known as Primary System, the
Initiative, the Referendum, and the
Recall With these powerful
of construction the people are
waging a war that will determine
who is to control. The battle has not
been drawn, victory after victory has
been won, and if the future is to be
judged by the past few years, success
awaits the peoples cause a few
years hence. But history teaches us
no success can ever be attain-
ed unless the Great Common People
organize more thoroughly and unite
their support on those champions of
their cause that stand for peoples
rule, and progressive legislation and
records of service to support
their positions.
As a source of information lo those
who might read this article I am
giving the following
The Initiative and Referendum is
now
of the people. Should the legislature
refuse or neglect to pass a law that
ii. public have at heart, then upon
a petition being signed by a
ed number of voters, it shall be sub-
lo the ballot box and if adopt-
ed shall become a law.
The Referendum is lo the
Initiative, except in that it deals with
laws already that do not meet
with popular approval. In this case
i law is obnoxious, a
of voters can sign a petition and
have the measure submitted to the
ballot box as in the case of the In-
Our Prohibition law Is an
example of the Referendum. Many

troubles could be amicably and ex-
settled if we had the Ref-
clause in our state
The Recall is a means by which the
people can force their
to keep pledges made before election.
In words if an office-holder be-
trays the trust put in him by his
constituents, they, the constituents,
can, by having a designated her
of electors sign a petition, him
again to the vote of the people and
JO U
returned as the people see fit. f
The Recall is especially adapted to
operation in cities and towns, and It
is in this capacity that II is
ed here.
The ten backward or reactionary
having less government by the
people today are Connecticut.
Island. Pennsylvania.
Indiana, North Carolina.
West Virginia. and Montana.
The people of a state deserve
what they get in the way of
and legislation. If they arc
too sluggish and not willing to sac
a little of time and their
money for the common good, they
will get the type of senator that rep-
resents a sordid ignorant
people. The Senatorial campaign in
North Carolina has already begun and
will not end until November. It Is the
duty of every citizen who has the
interest of his country and state at
heart to study the principles and pol-
that each candidate asks to
elected upon and to see that his rec-
and qualifications are consistent
with his declarations.
