Open Letter
To Honorable Claude Kitchin. Chairman of the Committee on Ways and
Means, giving views of Congressman Dan V. Stephens regarding the
proposed revenue measure.
.. House of Representatives, Washington, D. C, January 29, 1916.
Hon. Claude Kitchin, Chairman,
Ways and Means Committee,
House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Kitchin: Knowing that lhe democratic majority upoi.
which you will have to depend to enact a revenue measure to cover th
test of the pivpurednesB program is extremely small and that your commit
tee will have to depend practically upon every democratic vote to support
the measure ycu report in order to pass it I desire to avoid embarrassment
both to myself and your committee by informing you in advance that I will
liot vote for any measure that does not provide: first, for the repeal of th
present stamp tax measure; and, second, for the raising of all needed reve
nue for the payment of such Increase as may be ordtred by Congress foi
carrying out lhe preparedness program for armament from incomes, inher
itances and munitions of war from any or all of these sources.
The people of the United States are now paying annually $250,000,000
for the national defense. I think this is sufficient but If it is not, let tin
turpi us wealth that is claiming additional protection pay for it. Let thi
millionaires and multi-millionaires whose incomes are beyond lhe dreamt
of Croesus chip iu half of their annual incomes for this protection they art
demanding against an imaginary enemy, which in connection with a slmila
tribute by the munition factories, some of which Hiram Maxim, the gun li.
ventor, claims are making as much as a million dollars a day, will be tin
coming immensely rich.
Nationalization of the manufacture of munitions would undoubt
edly have prevented the present strained relations with (Jet-many.
The cause of the strained relations is that Germany is sinking ships.
(Jet-many has been sinking ships principally to prevent American
made ammunition from reaching her enemies. Thus, in order that a
comparative few may make private profit, the peace of 100,000,000 is
placed in jeopardy.
It is to lhe interest of only the few to leave profit in war and
preparation for war, while it is to the interest of the entire earth's
population to take it out.
