The piece cites the Sioux City Tribune and notes figures like A Sheridan Jones and Ruth on school apportionment critiques.

Tarif for Revenue Only Prompts Major Tariff Debate
A historical discussion advocates a simple revenue tariff at 24 to 30 percent to replace the McKinley tariff. It argues that a revenue-only plan would abolish inequities, boost federal revenue to about 270 million, and end protective distortions benefitting robber barons while affecting poor and rich alike. The piece cites imports, duties, and bank dividends to bolster the case and urges action by lawmakers.
