HP 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 advance of the By reason of the efficient use of American machinery by American labor, in most of the manufactures of this country, the labor cost per unit I pi In is no greater here than abroad. is admitted, t the actual wage of the American laborer is in excess of But but as to most articles we manufacture the labor cost in count more than double the labor cost abroad.

To the There is much be- said just now along political lines, but from what one sees daily in papers, at- is paid to the person- and attribute of the respective candidates, both national and state, than to the great political principles that are the fundamentals of our legislation, which is to deter- mine the great battle that is being waged between human rights and property rights. Although the past live years have been internationally peaceful, there has been going on in almost every state of the Union some contest between tho people, demand- popular government and organ- wealth, to the old sys- It is the state evolution to which we have naturally arrived, the arousing of an indignant people de- that legislation against the many and In favor of the chosen few- shall no longer the breaking of the mighty cords sewn as threads in our constitution of but grown 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 of our local road and stock law 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.
