Police and Politicians Seek to Re-establish the Red Light
 District

Chicago, Aug. i8.--The shock ing mistreatment of lG-yearOld Frances kasper by 25 men who kidnapped her iand kept her prisoner in a building for 20 hours, which was revealed last night, vividly illustrated the claim of the police that the sup .pression of the red light district has made it unsafe for women and girls to walk the streets alone at night.
 Dozens of similar cases of less enormity have occurred within the last fortnight. The assaults are increasing with such rapidity that interests which would bene- tf commercially by the re-es- tablishment of segregated vice district are pointing out that the safety of the women of the city depends on restoring an "open town"
 Miss Kasper, an orphan, with out protectofs, became acquaint- ed, she says, with an alderman's nephew. She met him by ap- p6intment Thursday night. She disappeared and Saturday after noon staggered into police sta ttion, all but dead and told a story that resulted in warrants for 25 young men, ranging in ages from 19 to 25 years. She was seized and abducted by three men, who met her with her es- rort. Two mel: guarded her constantly and about 30 visited h"r prison, suljecting her to hor- r!Lle u eatnent.

ALASKA
 SAYS SECY. LANE
Administration Still Favors Rail- roads and Roads and Opening
 of the Coal Lands.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 18.-- Secretary of the Interior Lane, who returned to the capital Sat urday, has reiterated his Alaska policy and says that the present administration will do all it can to secure the opening up of the coal lands, the construction of a trunk railroad from the coast to the interior, the building of wag- on roads and in every way pos sible aid the pioneers of the ter ritory to develop it's resources.
 Lane says that if the United States government can afford to spend SiOO,O0O, ,OOO to build the Panama canal for the benefit of other nations as much as for American benefit; if they can af- ford to spend $80. .000, ,0O0 to pro- vide irrigation to 20,OOO people, as they have done in the west, they surely can afford $iO,O00,- uuV IOI tlt opcnlilS up ol &AldS- ka.
 The secretary points out the great future for the territory and predicted that his son would live to see from six to ten mil lion people in Alaska and that the territory would produce reindeer meat enough for the people of the states and would also pro- duce millions of bushels of grain.
 Transportation, however, must be cheap" said Secretary Lane. "or the great future of the northland would be delayed and retarded. '@NR can afrord,' he said, "tn spend 40 millions to tie to ourselves part of our selves"

Labor Temple Plans
Debated in Assembly
DEFuNcT ASSOCIATION MAY BE
GIVEN NEW LIFE.
Success in Other Cities Has Aroused
Denver Working People to Bene-
fits of a Home.

That the labor organizations of Den
yer pay out between $4,000 and $780,
600 per year for rents, sufficient
sum to finance a splendid home of
their own, was the statement made at
Sundays meeting of the Denver
Trades and Labor Assembly by for
mer President L. M. French. Three
years ago a tentative Labor Temple
Association was formed in Denver
with Mr.. French as president and E.
J. Hines as secretary-treasurer. 1t
is said $40 remains to the credit of
fund.
A committee to represent the AS
sembly in revival of interest in this
movement was named as follows:
President Fred Vessel. C. ]. Common,
James A. Conkle, R. P. Means, Will
liam Koch and Margaret Noonan
Last week new labor temple, cost
ing $25O,OOO, was dedicated at Van
couver, British Columbia Los An
geles is completing payments on a
fine home for labor unions. The San
Diego Labor Temple Association last
week purchased lot 10Ox10O feet in
an accessible part of the city. paying
$4,000 therefor. A brick structure of
four stories will be erected at once.
Cheyenne, Wyo., dedicated home for
labor six week ago. Bellingham,
Wash, union men raised .s2,25O in two
week as nucleus for labor temple
fund. Organized labor in many other
industrial centers are building or pre-
pairing to build labor temples. Why
should Denver not do likewise?

ton has paid off all Indebtedness
against the property and now holds a
clear title free of debt to the home of

movement was started in 1910
through a recommendation of S. B.

Temple has been an inspiration to

mysterious and indefinable way gives
few men such a great advantage in
the fierce struggle for existence that
is now going on.
1t was not hard to see that besides
the Socialists there are quite a few Ia
bor unionists, as well as number OF
business and professional men, who
have not given the science of political
economy very much thought, for while
they all agree that the value which at
taches to land, as society progresses
belongs by right to all the people, they
are very doubtful if it can be secured
for them by simply taxing land values.
This was shown when they argued
that IL the people attempted to equal
ize opportunities by taking the value
of land in the form of a tax, the own
ers would raise the rental or the sell
ing value of their land. In other words
that owners would shift the tax on to
their tenants, and in case the owners
were also the users of the land they
would add the tax to the price of the
goods produced on it and conditions
would be no better or even worse than
they are now.
The single takers met this argu.
ment by asking if it is not true that
land owners now charge all they can
get. They freely admitted that a high
er tax on land would strengthen the
owners desire to shift the tax on to
his tenants, but they denied that it
would give him the power to do SO.
They proved that in the nature of
things the exchange value of land can
cnly arise or be maintained through
actual or prospective competition for
its use, and that instead of raising its
price, tax that is high enough, will
cause the selling value of land to dis
appear entirely and nothing will be
left but it's rental value which should
be taken in the form of tax for the
use of all the people who create it.
They showed that a tax on land can
be shifted on to the consumers of
goods only on condition that buyers
consent to pay more for goods that
are produced on high priced land than
they have to pay for goods of the same
quality produced on low priced land
and they contended that such a thing
is not likely to happen, as all men
seek to satisfy their desires with the
least exertion.
The large audience seemed to take a
deep interest in these discussions, as
they were upon questions which the
home rule amendment now gives the
people in charter cities the right to
vote. The next meeting will be on the
evening of Nov. oath, when it is ex-
pected that Judge Lindsey's court
room will be again crowded to hear
the report of the committee and to
learn what decision is reached on the
question of submitting single tax
amendment to the Denver charter at
the tunnel election

Visited Every Important City in Unit

der the title, "Broke-The Man With

of independent means, but during the
period beginning with the winter of
190S-9 to 1912, almost three years, he
travelled from coast to coast as work
ing man without a trade to study con-
ditions and solve the problem of out
of-works.
Starting in Denver, where he slept
in the brick ovens with scores of
down-and-outs, he visited every i'm
portant city in the United States and
lived the life of the outcast portion
of humanity. In each city he made
appeals for the construction of muni-
cipal lodging houses, where those
whose only crime was unemployment
might find shelter and wholesome
food while seeking work 1t is crafty
ing to note that in many instances Mr..
Browns plan for alleviating the con
dition of those who only asked Il
chance to help themselves brought
good results.
The author contends that poverty is
not part of the Eternal plan, and
that its existence and growth has been
created by human conventions. He al
vocates divorce between religious.
