America is to help provide an educa-

to use their power to abolish the game
of polite" and apply the science OF
government to their public business.
Joseph Fels' offer for America, as for
other countries, is to give a dollar for
every dollar given by others. Joseph
Fels has agreed to give to the Fels fund
commission $4,000 a year for five years
to get the people of the United States to
study and apply the science of just tax
alton in support of their government. He
has agreed to give the same amount for
the same purpose in Great Britain and

WHO IS Joseph FEIs2

Joseph Fels is an American and a
wealthy manufacturer whose business of
fees are in Philadelphia and London. He
divides his time between his American
and English interests. He was born in
Virginia of Jewish parentage. He does
not give money to endow colleges, hos
pitals or libraries. He says there will
be no need for this so-called charity
of the millionaires when the people en-
act just laws for the collection of all
taxes from the special privilege and nat
ural resource values. He believes in
the wisdom and power of all the people
to abolish poverty by making just laws
that will insure to every man all the
wealth he produces and every dollar he
earns, and that viii compel every man to
earn every dollar he gets. His object in
