to the happiness, independence
and well~being Of mankind, than

SWITCHMEN'S STRIKE HAS
SAME OLD LESSON IN IT

In the present Switchmen's
strike the members Of organized
labor are being taught the same
old lesson over again.
Once more they find that it is
not the open enemy, the relentless
labor crusher, the commercial
wolf, who blocks the way to sue
cess
It is union men themselves
union men Of a sort-who have
made abortive the Switchmen's
efforts to secure a square deal
from their employers.
Union men of Duluth must not
blame the Brotherhood Of Train
men as whole for the left hand
ed deal put up in this city the
past few days.
Many of the brotherhood stood
fast to their obligations and re-
fused to take the jobs their COM
rades left because Of unfair con-
ditions attaching to them. Others
were misled into going to work
and the best criticism of their
action is to hope that they may
speedily see their mistake and
make the best amends possible.
One thing appeals very strong
]y to the man who has followed
closely the details of the strike.
Why, if the Brotherhood men,
bers hereabout were so strong a
unit for going to work, was it
necessary for Whitney to hurry
up here all the way from Cleve-
land to put them in line.
His speedy appearance on the
ground so soon after the strike
was declared caused considerable
comment. Perhaps such comment
was unwarranted and Mr. Whit
ney was here only in the interests
Of the members Of the Brother
hood. We hope this is so.
1t would be terrible travesty
on the purity of union principles
it it were proven later that the
railroad managers, seeing strike
impending, had sent out a Mace
DOMAIN appeal to Whitney to
come to their aid.
The fact that he delivered the
goods would not leave any better
taste in the mouths of the striking
Switchmen, would it?

GIVE YOUR UNION THE
BENEFIT OF YOUR IDEAS

There is no line of activity
where originality is. more needed
and has better scope than in the
labor movement. The ape and
parrot type Of Individual is not
the kind that belongs to progress
and organized labor is progress
sive.
Men of strong individuality,
who dare to think their own
thoughts and originate their own
methods, who are not afraid to be
themselves, are the men upon
whom the progress of labor de-
ponds. Z
What a writer says of the value
Of originality in the world is true,
especially in the labor union :
''The world admires the man who
has the courage to lift his head
above the crowd, who dares to
step to the front and declare him
self. Never before was originality
so much at a premium. The
world makes way for the man
with an idea. tt is the thinker,
the man with original IDEAS and
new and up-to-date methods, who
is the real productive force in q
community. He IS wanted every
where. But there IS very little
demand for human machines. :
IF you have an idea for the bet
terment Of the cause, don't be
afraid to let it be known: gu
don't know what its potency may
be. It may be the means OF much
good. It may be the one thing
needed TO make much.sou ghf> sue

AN INCOME TAX.
SchiH, Of New York, Recommends
Expedient, For National Relief.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-An income
tax designed to overcome objections
which were raised when the tax was
last imposed, is suggested by Jacob
Schiff OF the banking firm OF Kuhn,
Loeb & Co, as means OF meeting
the increasing deficit in the United
States treasury. Discussing the plan,
Mr.. Schiff after condemning the is
suance OF additional government Sc
curities as "pernicious and danger
GUS, said:
What we need is a real revenue
producing system which shall inter
fere in no way and affect as little as
possible questions connected with the
tariff or the country's banks or
currency systems. l believe this is to
be found in the income tax.
"The objections, it seems, can be
met by means Of a measure which
shall tax only income or revenue de-
rived from business and especially
interstate commerce. II investiga-
ton be made Of the source OF income
in this country, it will develop that
an enormous revenue to which prac-
tically all contribute in an equitable
manner can thus by means OF a mod
crate income tax be produced. So far
as the banking business is concerned
such an income tax would yield a
very large revenue to the govern
ment and this is even true, Of course
in many other forms Of commercial
and industrial enterprises.
AT the same time tax on in
come arising from such sources
would in no wise conflict with the
rights Of states and would neither be
directly nor indirectly tax upon

would have to be displayed in draw
ing up such measure believe It
could be done successfully and its
operation I feel convinced would be
carried on without difficulty"

United States, favorS direct proper
tional tax on income.
"I believe that it would assist con-
siderably and am in favor Of an in

feel that it would be quite fair to tax
those who earn over $1,000 year; to
have an ascending scale as It we're,

who obtain money by inheritance, get
It from those who certainly cannot
take It with them, 50 why not put a

will not gainsay US when the time
