WANTS DISCUSSION

o the Editor:
Your editorial in the Northwest
VOL er Of November 80, entitled,
Something Lacking" is very inter
/ esting and sounds keynote for party
progress and advancement and until
the Socialist Party presents some at
Jractive and constructive program it
win remain in the rut.
The working people are only at
tacted by measures that denote i'm
mediate action. We can never get
their attention by preaching and
teaching philosophy that will bring
lestults a few centuries after we are
dead, as some Socialists explain it.
The great majority demand imme-
date results and are satisfied to let
the future look out for itself. We have
been ignored by the politicians Of the
capitalist class because we have not
been specific in advocating measures
that appeals forcibly to the masses.
Our appeal has been too much of a
generalization of conditions in a
| form that does not make our ethics
understandable to the childish mind
of the masses. We must get the stand
point from which each layer of So
| ciety views conditions and work from
that standpoint.
What is a burning issue to the far
mer may not appeal to either the ar
tisan or laborer at all, and vice versa.
| The farmer is interested in land and
taxes, hence some constructive legis-
lation concerning land tax would ar
rest his attention.
The majority of farmers now feel
that the present system of land tax
is unfair and that instead of just pay
ing taxes on his land he is paying a
tax on his labor also, which is sup
ported by uncontrovertible evidence,
and would Immediately put "big inter
ests" on the defensive if the Social
list Party would advocate a measure
that would correct the evil,
All lands of the same class have
! the same value for use as farm lands,
while in a wild state, and the value is
only increased by two methods-labor
applied and community value,
The labor added value Is taxed but
the community is exempt, which is
not fair to either the man who i'm
proves the land or the community.
Both lands of the same class should
be taxed the same, whether improved
or unimproved.
If any difference is made it should
be in favor of the man who applies the
labor to the land.
If penalty was put on the unim-
proved land by higher taxation it
would release it from the Spectator
and the "landless man" would be-
come the possessor of the "manless
land"
/ would like to have the views OF
the comrades on my suggestion.
| believe we could make it an is
sue for a constitutional amendment
that would force "big biz" to recog.
nize the work of Socialism,

ALASKA LABOR UNION

Anchorage, Alaska.
To the Members and Friends of the
Alaska Labor Union:
The union Is out to borrow enough
money to finish building the big la
Dor temple. We know you have the
welfare Of the community and the
Alaska Labor Union at heart, for you
have shown this by the donations so
literally made towards the building
fund. The amount raised is insuffi-
cient to accomplish the object de-
sired, and in order that we may pro-
coed without delay and secure the use
Of the big building, we want you to
loan us as much money as you can
conveniently spare. This loan will be
secured by first mortgage on the
lot and Labor Temple; this in itself
is good enough security, but In addi-
ton to that there is the backing of
nearly four thousand union men and
that alone would guarantee the pay
ment of the money and interest. The
amount to be raised is $4,000, divided
into bonds in denominations of SIS,
so, $25, $50 and 500, bearing 6 per
cent interest per annum, redeemahio
in from one to five years, at call.
What is the sense Of leaving your
! money in the bank, to be loaned out
! by the bankers, when you can invest
in these bonds and get 6 per cent for
| it? If the banks will take our secur-
ity for the money you surely can af-
! ford to do so. For d union man to buy
these bonds is to loan himself the
money and save the interest; for a
non-union man or woman it is a good
investment and better than a savings
deposit. You get your money back
with interest, and you help out the
town and the Alaska Labor Union al
the same time. Write or call on the
secretary at the Union office and sub
scribe for one Of these bonds. 1t viii
be a token Of your good will anC
faith in the organization. DO IT
/ NOW.
ALASKA LABOR UNION,
P. H. Ringstad, Secretary.

In this country social. settlement

In England, in war time, such eco
Monies may be laudable. But in this
country, at the present time, this
kind of teaching cannot be too loudly
condemned.
Certain forms Of economy are SEN
sible; saving is always a virtue; but
the willingness to go without the
common, decent comforts of life pro-
