uNEARNED INCREMENT

Editor Herald: I noticed an inquiry
in The Herald Letter Box as to the
meaning of the above, and wherein it
would benefit the laborer.
The social measure referred to Is in
the California state platform of tie
Socialist party and reads as follow 8:
"a progressive and graduated taxation
of the unearned increment and un-
earned incomes, with a view to their
ultimate extinction"
If the profit system was not in
vogue there would be no such thing
as unearned increment and unearned
incomes, because they are only forms
of surplus value-profit, l. e., the value
of that major portion which the laborer
produces, but which he does not get.
Profit means poverty, crooked spines,
misery and crime for the producers,
and wealth, pomposity, degeneracy and
crime for the non-producers. L say
crime in both instances. 1t is no less
a crime for the laborers who uphold
the system by their foolish votes than
for those who profit thereby.
1t may be no sin to be willing slave,
but it is a crime to keep others in
slavery who are not willing or uncon-
scious of it.
Now, socialism would destroy the
profit system by giving the producers
all the produce or it's equivalent. The
destruction Of the profit system is the
basic principle of socialism.
SO long as the labOrers believe IN
monopoly, the divine right of kings OF
finance to exact their pound of flesh by
owning and controlling the means of
production and distribution upon which
our lives depend, the Socialist party
does not want their votes.

THE NEW NATIoNALIsM

Editor Herald: Permit me to bring
out the difference, as I see 1t, between
old orthodox Socialism and T. RS
New Nationalism."
In his speech at Osawatomie, I. X.
launched fourth the statement that
'the regulation Of big business in
terests and the control Of big corpor-
ate properties to be beneficial to the
country must be functions Of the
national government'-a statement
which the New York Staats Zeitung
pronounced an advance on the official
Socialism Of America.
New Nationalism" differs from So
cialism in principle and motive rather
than in form and method. In the for
mer the nation exists for and through
the individual; in the latter the in
dividual for and through the nation.
The former is dynamic, living,
plastic entity, free and fluidic, loyal
and obedient to law only when sane
toned by the principle of justice; while
the latter sustains the equilibrium or
it's organism by the equalizing pres
sure of mechanically restrictive law.
In T. RS conception of law the lat
ter is a factor in social progress, only
to the extent that 1t expresses the
1rinciple of justice in it's spirit and
application. Failing in this it's force
turns destructive and its mandates
treason to the life of a morally func-
tioning government. The struggle be-
tween Roosevelt's nationalism on the
one side, and the old plutocratic and
sociocratic forms of government on
the other, is the struggle between an
old, grim, abstract, outworn mechan-
ism of law, trying to escape a natural
death, and a conscience governed, in
dividualizing, regenerate and self
sustaining entity of love and justice,
boldly asserting its right to live
Roosevelt's motives and ideals are
localized in a sentence occurring in a
speech delivered in Los Angeles on his
inaugural trip: The need Of the world
toda-, is not oratorical brilliancy or
spectacular endeavor, but force and
faithfulness of service--the applica-
tion in daily life of ordinary, hum
drum, workaday practical virtues"

High Prices of Aviators
Csan Francisco Post)


Aviation as profession will attract
many youths who possess both a spirit
Of daring and mechanical talent, but
the day of prizes in five figures and
remuneration for the birdmen sur
passing that of ihe most expensive
prima donna is rapidly passing. Wh1le
II may be some years before the aVia-
tor comes down to the comparatively
lowly status of the chauffeur he al
ready finds himself compelled to cut
rates. Only a few weeks ago Charles
X Hamilton and his manager were
surprised and pa,hed to discover that
the people of California were not will
ing to subscribe promptly little purse
of $40, 900 to induce Mr.. Hamilton to fly
from Sacramento to San Francisco.
There is little doubt that with favor
able conditions Mr. Hamilton could
have covered the distance, but the
feat would have established no new
record and certainly could not have
been made to pay as spectacle. IL
may not be long before the aerial
route becomes the most popular meth
cd of travel for legislators between the
metropolis and the capital and no one
but the passengers will be expected to
pay for the journey
The first aviation meet in California,
at Los Angeles last January, was a
financial success, and the promoters of
Paulhan's exhibitions at Tanforan
reaped a fair reward. But 1t seems

The PEOPLES EXPRESS CO.

Editor Herald: The Postal Progress
league aims to secure for the people
of the United States their own express
service, operated through their own
nostoffice system, already equipped
and every cog oiled and in perfect
running order. This service, long
usurped by private express companies
would Immediately save the people
millions of dollars and be a benefit to
every one.
The leagues bill, now pending be-
fore congress, provides for carrying
eleven pound packages at 8 cents per
mound. whereas the existing weight
limit is four pounds and the rate 10
cents per pound.
1t increases the free delivery system
by permitting the mailing Of letters
or parcels up to four ounces at cents
and a charge of l cent for each addi-
tional two ounces.
Packages up to twenty-five pounds
in weight are permitted to be carried
on rural routes with rates varying,
according to weight, the maximum
rate being 10 cents.
The bill further provides for insur-
ance on registered packages up to their
full value.
The elections are coming on-ask
your congressman how he stands re-
garding a parcels post law
The league is supported entirely by
voluntary contributions, and every one
who can do so should send in a sub

friend of the cause enroll with the

more than doubtful IL such meetings
can be repeated without financial loss.
The truth is that when people have
once seen aviators in action they are
satisfied, unless they are anxious to
fly themselves The novelty of the ex-
perience soon wears away.
According to a report of the United
States consul at Glasgow, the recent
international aviation meeting in Scot
land resulted in loss to it's promoters
Of about 0,000 And this DESPITE tSle
fact that excellent weather cond tionA
prevailed and the meeting was attend
ed by over 100000 spectators. 1t is
evident that the high fees and costly
prizes demanded by the aviators were
far greater than the big gate receipts.
And yet, 1t is said,. only those who
win the principal prizes make much
money out of these meetings, while
many of the air-men are out of pocket.
The loss to promoters of the chief
aviation meetings in Europe this year
is estimated to be about $375,000 dis
tributed as follows; Lanark $4,000:
Bournemouth, $4,000; Blackpool, $75,-
600; Rheims, $780, 900, and Nice, $4,000
Unless the blrd-men come down con-
siderably in their demands aviation
meetings will soon be abandoned. In
any event their popularity is destined
to be short-lived At no distant date
a flock of biplanes will be no more an
unusual spectacle than NUMBER Of
touring cars.

LOOKING FOR CATSPAWS

TN HE local organ of William r.
Hearst is boosting his megaphon-
Il ic offer of a prize for the aero
pianist who will fly from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, although competent
aviators say it viii be several years
at the best before the aeroplane can
be developed and strengthened to stand
such a trip. Ely, who essayed to go
from Chicago to New York, made
about 100 miles, yet he is one of the
best aviators in the world. The fact
is, Hearst knows he won't have to
part with his money for a long, long
while, and meantime he will drum up
the thing to beat the band and adver-
tise himself as the leading promoter
of a new science.
In the effort to work up some en-
thusiasm in Los Angeles the local
sheet is frantically calling in black
face type for some leading local citi-
zens to boost the enterprise to the end
that the race may be started from
this city. The effrontery and deceit
of this proceeding may be seen from
the fact that the San Francisco organ
is making similar frantic appeals for
local support with a view to making
a start from that city!
Thus it is hoped to play off the
chief California cities one against the
other, making each think that Hearst's
fondest desire is that the thing may
be pulled off from its particular con-
fines. In this way he hopes to get 'em
going and coming--in the slang of the
day. No matter what one city might
do to help his schemes Hearst would
give the other the double-cross If it
suited his purposes. He is for Hearst
not Los Angeles or San Francisco.
With a delicious righteousness that
yellow journalism is usually too crafty
to display the local organ says, by
way of argument, to the local gentle
men it calls upon for assistance:
Mr.. Hearst did his part for Los
Angeles when he made it a condi-
ton that the contest must end or
begin in Los Angeles or San Fran
cisco.
Why? Because he loves these cities
more than Seattle or Portland? Well,
rather not Hearst has papers in these
California towns, which it is hoped to
boost His interest in science is not so
great that he will ignore the matter
of Hearst advertising and let the af-
fair start in San Diego or Seattle.
Hearst names other papers that offer
prizes if the aviator will fly through
their cities. The difference is this:
The other papers are frank and hon
est enough to admit that they are
after the self-advertising and are not
calling on wealthy citizens to make
up a purse to help them.
The local gentlemen whose influence
and money are sought will doubtless
find if they go into the thing that they
have lent countenance to a tiasco; or,
if by a miracle successful as a feat,
that they have become catspaws at
their own expense to glorify Hearst
and help his business.

AS Mark Twain remarked when he
heard of his reported death, the state
ment of DR.. Anna Wells Bloomer, that
small apartments and restaurant din
ners encourage drinking among wom-
en-, is probably very much exagger-
ated. DR.. Bloomer contends that work
is now made so easy for housewives
that time not infrequently hangs
heavy on their hands, and enforced
idleness begets dissipation. She also
argues that women who dine FREQUENT
ly at public restaurants are easily LED
into drinking habits.
Although her statement may be true
in isolated cases, a glance at the broad
general proposition will show that she
is very much in error. Life in modern
apartments where work is made much
easier for the housewife has, it is true,
given women more time to themselves.
In these latter days the old saying
that "man works from sun to sun,
womans work is never done" is not
true, generally speaking, and no one
regerts that 1t is not. DR.. Bloomer
evidently deplores the fact that the
introduction OF gas for cooking, the

advent of the suction cleaner and
numberless other instances of modern
ingenuity have lightened woman's
burden, but she will not get much
sympathy from those who find life q
little more~worth living on account OF
them.
Nor does It seem reasonable that be-
cause of labor-saving devices woman
have more time on their hands than is
good for them. Go into any home
where these methods have been intro
duced and 1t will be strange If you do
not find that the wife and mother can
always find something to occupy her
time If Willies clothes do not need
mending, Mary's do, and it is a fact
few women will dispute, that the house
wife often finds herself wondering
when she will find time to do these
little odd Jobs after she has finished
with the mornings marketing, Setting
the house to rights" planning for three
meals and then preparing them.
This statement of DR. Boomers
seems to be quite in line with many
others that are made after a super
fetal study OF a situation and without
due consideration Of the real facts in
the case.

WOMAN AND THE BALLOT

Editor Herald: The time is at hand
when equal suffrage will be an issue
that must be met. 1t seems there is a
class who claim they do not want the
ballot, that financial gain means moth
ing to them. But 1t does mean much
to the millions of half-fed. patient
working women in our country today
paid so meager that their scanty
wage often leads to immortality and
crime. The true, noble women Of our
country who are asking for equal suf-
frage are not seeking notoriety, but
are earnestly laboring for the greatest
good to the greatest number AS citi-
zens amenable to the laws and sharing
the responsibilities of citizenship they
only ask the privilege of their inherent
right and they will use it with sense
and dignity. Woman's vote will al
most invariably be cast for principle
instead Of party. What does brazen
graft and corporate greed care for
public opinion all clad in their armor
of gold and greenbacks? Nothing but
the strong arm of the law will daunt
them. With equal suffrage woman's
individual vote will count-each one
for honesty and decency, even though
party lines trail in the dust.

DOGS, TOBACCO AND IDEALIsTs

DOGS, TOBACCO AND lDEALIsTs
Editor Herald: While a number of
the Socialists, Single Takers, New
Nationalists and so-called lovers of a
square deal preach, lecture and write
multiple articles about justice, human
rights and cooperation, but many of
these righteous idealists forget to quit
smoking the nicotine weed while they
expound their beautiful theories. Wher-
ever you go, on the streets OF the cars,
or in hotels, you must inhale the fumes
of tobacco. Do these reformers expect
to establish a cooperative common
wealth while "a per cent Of the men
tobacco users) refuse to cooperate
with 66 per cent (non-tobacco users)
for pure air?
Fifteen per cent of the families in
our cities keep dogs, while s5 per cent
do not want them. But the minority
allow their dogs to befoul their neigh
bors' lawns and the streets and build
ings, while children must keep off the
grass" men must keep quiet and or
derly, must not talk or laugh in o
manner that will disturb the peace of
their neighbors, but dogs may bay at
the moon and planets or any old thing
and he who protests Is called q cruel,
bad man, generally by a weak-minded
male or female that suffer themselves
to be led on the street by a pudgy dog
while several orphan children look in
envy on the scene and the gods stand
amazed, exclaiming, What fools these
mortals be?" TRAVELLER.

SUGAR FACTORIES IN ENGLAND

Immediate steps are being taken to
establish a beet sugar refining factory
in the English county Of Essex. A site
of twenty-six acres has been secured
and plans are under way for building
the factory, which will give employ
ment to large numbers of people for
several months in the year. The estl-
mated cost is about $10OO,OOO, includ-
ing about 1922. 900 for up-to-date plant
and machinery. Included in the by
products OIL the sugar refining will be
the preparation of the sliced beet as
food for cattle after the sweet juice
has been extracted.
The new factory will be the best Of
the kind in England, and IL the expert
ment proves successful stimulus will
undoubtedly be given to farmers, who
will find in the cultivation Of the sugar
beet a new source of revenue which
will be especially welcome, inasmuch
as cereal growing is no longer so prof
itable

THE WORLDS SERIES

| 4 MERICA'S baseball derby, the
| Il worlds championship series in
A which this year the Philadelphia
Americans and the Chicago Nationals
contested for supremacy, is over with,
the honors resting for the first time
in several years with the American
league leaders, who won four of the
five games played.
This disparity, which is a great sur
prise to those who measured their 10y
atty to the contenders with Wagers, is
probably not so great as the result
would seem to show on it's face. The
| Chicago team winner OF three pen
nants and by general consent one Of
the greatest exponents of inside" ball
the game has ever known, is practi-
cally the same as when in former
worlds series it was invincible. This
| year it lacked the pitchers and met
two great masters of the art of pitch
| ing whom it could not solve.
In baseball, highly developed as it
! is, the truth is revealed that a chain
| is no stronger than its weakest link.
There have been teams in the history
of the game that made up in batting
what was lacking in their pitchers.
With the game as it is today a weak
ness in a single spot may be fatal.
and so it proved with the Cubs The
result leaves no cloud on the title of
the Athletics Everything consid
cred they appear to be unquestionably
| he
rghtful champions of the world.
| Incidentally, the series was demon
stration Of the honesty of the national
sport which must be gratifying, to its
| followers, who appreciate the import
ance of keeping it above reproach. BY
! 'hippodroming," the national baseball
! commission and the teams could have
added many thousands of dollars to
their profits through the playing of
other games That such a thing has new
er been done is to the great credit of the
national sport and it's chief eXponents,
the managers Of the highest leagues,
! The moment the reverse can be said,
or even suspected, will see the decline
in the popularity Of what millions of
Americans regard as the greatest game
! ever developed, either in point of the
skill or quick intelligence necessary.
No better proof of the strong hold
! baseball has on the American tempera-
ment could be had than the fact that
the most staid newspapers the country
over gave up their first pages, with
| coplous illustrations, to the worlds
! series. Baseball is no longer looked
upon as a human weakness that must
! be humored but rather as a legitimate
and praiseWorthy feature of outdoor
American life. It's managers are for
the most part able and respected busi-
ness men, and many of its players are
drafted from the colleges.
one Of the managers in the Pacific
Coast league is Il member of congress,
a former professional manager and
player is a candidate for the United
| States senate in California, a former
star pitcher the Republican candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania, and a
once great big league player is a
candidate for congress in Massachu-
setts. These are indeed the haIcyon
days of the national game and its dew
otees.

Bread in Oilskin CLOTHES"

bread from contamination in delivery
the loaves should be enclosed in oiled
paper or in paper sacks Immediately
after being taken out of the oven. This
seems to be a practical and inexpensive
solution of the problem.
The special food sanitation act"
passed by the state legislature in 1909
was intended to cover the establish
ment of all necessary regulations for
the proper protection of foods. It's pro-
visions stipulate that bread, with other
foodstuffs, shall not be exposed to dust
or flies at any stage of storage,
preparation or distribution. Under this
act failure to comply with this regula-
tion Is a violation of law constituting
a nuisance, as is also the delivery of
bread from an unclean wagon or con-
tainer, or by person known to have a
communicable disease, or one whose
clothing or person. is uncleanly.
