The Pity of It and the State Taxes Debate
A polemic criticizing New York Call style worker unrest while praising Harding era Congress actions. The piece argues workers are not downtrodden, attacks agitators led by Gompers, and praises farm and tax policy, treasury reform, and a low state levy in Indiana. It contrasts labor unrest with patriotic support for war and governance, urging balanced economic and educational investments.
