Ingalls Warns of Perils in Nation’s Expansion and Tax Reform
The Social Bervica Magazine piece by Melville Ezra Ingalls, president of the Big Few system, argues against unilateral expansion and warns that admission of territories could shift presidential power to distant voters in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines. He calls for constitutional curbs on state admission, a colonial government model to protect trade, and a robust tax regime including income and franchise taxes to aid small property holders. The Louisville Courier Journal lauds his stance, urging return to strong local governance and avoidance of centralized power in Washington.
