CANNOT CANCEL TAX.
Attorney Advises the Commissioners
II. c. Baiiey's Application.

Clarence A. Brandenburg Assistant At
torney Cor the District, has informed the
Commissioners that in his opinion they are
without authority in law to cancel the tax
sale of lot % in square 1915, as requested
by l. c. Bailey.
Mr.. Bailey claimed that on account OF
the failure to transfer lot % 10 his name
upon the assessment books he failed to pay
the tax thereon Tor the year 1896. and for
this reason he claims that the sale OF the
lot should be cancefed. II appears that
on March 10. 1894, Mr.. Bailey purchased
lots % to 40 both inclusive, in square
1875. The transcript Of the deed furnished
the Assessor recited the conveyance of sub
lots 90 to 40 inclusive, without lot 2s, but
Il also appears that he paid the taxes on
lot % for the years 1894 and 1895, al
though the lot had not been transferred to
him.
According to the Attorney IT was Mr..
Bailey's duty 10 inspect the tax bills fur
nished him and the receipts retained by
him II he had done so 1t would have
revealed the fact that he had not paid
the taxes upon LOT IS. He. therefore. holds
that the application should be denied.

The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1900-04-07

Ill tlis s. s,lpt the
world demands Tor one year. This
being the condition with which the
people are confronted it remains for
them to provide some means Of greatly
increasing these demands. or else so
control methods of production that all
who depend upon labor for means of
subsistence shall have an opportunity
to secure employment. .-.@s .--as.@,
If half Of the population by working
ten hours or more a day can produce
sufficient to supply the demand of the
entire population, and this half insists
on retaining q monopoly of employ
ment, what is to become of the other
half. the half who are unemployed?
There are but three courses to pursue:
Those who earn wages must contribute
as charity sufficient to sustain the un-
employed; the employed can join with
the unemployed in dividing such. en-
ployment so that all may work ten
hours or more per day for half the
number Of days. or, as is now advanced
by trades unionists, the remedy can be
found by shortening the hours of labor
so that all the people can find some
employment all the time. II improved
machinery makes it possible to produce
sufficient to meet the demands Of the
world by operating this machinery
only eight hours per day and thereby
providing employment for all, then,
indeed, would improved machinery be
blessing to mankind. Again, with
an arrangement whereby all may be
employed the demands for products
will be greatly increased; with large
proportion Of the population unemploy-
ed there can be no normal demand for
products. a It IL not the needs, the
sufferings,; the pleadings Of the poor
that creates q demand for commercial
products but the ability of the people
to purchase such products. This being
the case. it follows that with all indus
tries operated on the basis of an eight
hour day employment would be given
to one-fourth more people, and this ad.
ditional employment will increase the
demand for products. which, in turn
would provide employment for still
more people. The greatest obstacle tc
overcome before the: adoption Of the
shorter work day ID possible is the sci.
fshness Of those people who ire 80 for.
tunate as to have employment; they
are not willing to give twenty per cent
Of their earning capacity to others
they are not willing to make persona
sacrifices for the good of all-but thu
time may come when those who arr
now employed may be idle. and those
who are now idle may be employed
