Dvorak, formerly Of Tiffin, village
few miles west of Iowa City.
The government dispatches credit
him with being a resident of Abba,

A big thing has been started in
Chicago. In the Church of the Re-
deemer at Warren avenue and Robey
street, peoples open forum is being
held every Sunday night. It's no re-
igious forum. Big human problems
are being discussed. And the list of
speakers announced indicated wide
range of topics. Last Sunday night
Minister Fred A. Moore had Prof.
Charles Zueblin of Boston talking.
Here are some of the things he said:
Eve must have economic justice
for the individual, the family and So
ciety. We can never have economic
justice for any of them so long as
our standard of measurement is mo-
ney. Money tells nothing. If money
talks, nobody has yet been able to
interpret it. If we are twice as rich
as we were few years ago, we are
not necessarily more wealthy in
terms of veal Elusive as it sounds,
there is no scientific economics which
has any other measurement but life.
ITO secure economic justice for the
individual, the family and society," we
must have scientific production,
equitable distribution and discrimin-
ating consumption. Scientific pro-
duction involves not only efficiency
in the shop, now attained in not one
tenth of the industries of America,
but indignation of the different pro-
cesses and industries, and the maxi
mum life-efficiency of the worker
The efficiency of the work is not to
be secured by his maximum daily pro-
duct, but by his largest and best pro-
duct during the longest possible and
most complete life. To secure this,
we have to deal with unemployment,
whether of the jobless or the leisure
class; with unemployment, whether
of the sweatshop worker or the mo-
Their; and with unemployment,
whether due to the making of wrong
things or of useless things.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-11-03

consumers, and system of taxation
which recognizes the enormous con-
tribution of society and puts financial
burdens where they belong.
''The touchstone of the whole eco
nomic system, however, is discrim-
mating consumption. The consumer
pays all the bills, public and private.
We cannot have economic justice I'M
til all the consumers enjoy in COM
mon those things that are necessary
to the common life. We shall then
individually and collectively demand
goods and services that are durable
rather than perishable, social rather
than, selfish, and that express indi-
viduality. So far from there being
mechanical solution of the economic
problem, it will be solved only by the
progressive satisfaction of the wants
of ALL"
Next Sunday Aid. Chas. E. Merriam
will speak. After him are announced
Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Harriet Vittum
and John H. Walker.
