FRANCE SEES LONG WAR

France has called 100000 more of
her sons to the colors Eighteen-year-
old youths have been ordered to re-
port for training and will probably be
drafted to the trenches inside of six
months. Forty-seven-year-old men have
also been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness for service. France ex-
poets a long fight as can be seen by
these measures,

$25, 00C, 1000 A DAY

The above is the sum that England
proposes to spend on the war from
now on. SO far the war cost to Eng
land has averaged twelve million a
day, but greater efforts must now be
put forth if she is not to meet with
defeat Some three million men have
enlisted in the army since the wal
began but enlistments are falling off
rapidly.

Industrial Unrest

right only by those who have per-
formed service, not by those who
through relationship or mere parasit
ism chance to be designated as heirs
Legal right, of course, they have
by virtue of the law of inheritance,
which, however, runs counter to the
whole theory of American society, and
which was adopted, with important
variations from the English law with
out any conception of it's ultimate re-
suits and apparently with the idea
that it would prevent exactly the con-
dition which has arisen.
INHERITANCE LAW CONDEMNED
an effect the American law of in
heritance is as efficient for the estab-
lishment and maintenance of families
as the English law, which has bull
warked British aristocracy through
the centuries. Every year, indeed, sees
this tendency increase, as the crea-
ton of estates in trust secures the
ends which might be more simply
reached, if there were no prohibition
of entail.
According to the income tax re-
turns for ten months of 1914, there
are in the United States 1898 fortunes
yielding an income of 100000 per
year or over. Practically all of these
fortunes are so invested and hedged
about with restrictions upon expendi-
ture that they are, to all intents and
purposes, perpetuities.
"An analysis of fifty of the largest
American fortunes shows that nearly
half have already passed to the con-
troll of heirs or to trustees (their vice
regents), and that the remainder will
pass to the control of heirs within 20
years upon the deaths of the found
ers'. Already, indeed, these founders
have almost without exception retired
from active service, leaving the man
agement ostensibly to their heirs, but
actually to executive officials upon
salary.
1--WE have, according to the income
tax returns, A families, with incomes
of $1,000,000 or more, whose members
perform little or no useful service,
but whose aggregate incomes, totalling
at the least fifty millions per year, are
equivalent to the earnings Of 100000
wage earners, at the average rate of
$500.
Between the two extremes of SUI
perfluity and poverty is the large mid
die class: farmers, manufacturers,
merchants, professional men, skilled
artisans, and salaried officials whose
incomes are more or less adequate
for their legitimate needs and desires,
and who are rewarded more or less
exactly in proportion to service. They
have problems to meet in adjusting
expenses to income, but the pinch of
want and hunger is not felt, nor is
there the deadening, devitalizing eff
feet of superfluous, unearned wealth.

CRIME AGAINST CHILDHOOD
Last of all are the children, for
whose petty addition to the stream of
production the nation is paying a
heavy toll in ignorance. deformity of
body or mind, and premature old age.
After ALL does it matter much what
they are paid, for all experience has
shown that in the end the fathers
wages are reduced by about the
amount that the children earn This
is the so-caled family wage, and ex-
animation of the wages in different
industries corroborates the theory
that in those industries, such as tex
tiles, where women and children can
be largely utilized, the wages of men
are extremely low.
"The competitive effect of the en-
ployment of women and children upon
the wages of men, can scarcely be
overestimated Surely it is hard
enough to be forced to put children to
work, without having to see the wages
of men held down by their employ
ment
This is the condition at one end
of the social scale; what is at the
other?
AN AWFUL CONTRAST!
"Massed in millions, at the other
end of the social scale, are fortunes
of size never before dreamt of,
whose very owners do not know the
extent, nor without the aid of an in
telligent clerk, even the sources of
their incomes Incapable of being
spent in any legitimate manner these
fortunes are burdens, which can only
be squandered, boarded, put into So
called 'benefactions', which for the
most part constitute a menace to the
state, or put back into the industrial
machine to pile up ever-increasing
of gold.
REWARDS ONLY FOR SERVICE
'In many cases, no doubt, these
huge fortunes have come in whole or
in part, as the rich reward for eXcep-
tional service. None would deny or
envy him who has performed such
service the richest of rewards, al
though one may question the ideals
of a nation which rewards exceptional
service only by burdensome fortunes.
But such reward can be claimed as a
