ONE REASON WHY AMERICAN CAPITALISTS
WANT US TO INTERVENE IN MEXICO

Gen. P. Elias Gales, military gov
ernor of the state of Sonora, Mexico,
APPARENTLY knows more about states
manship than most legislators on this
side of the RIO 'Grande, and more
about political economy than some
very distinguished professors in our
universities.
Recent press dispatches tell that
General Gales Is about to revise the
tax system of the state, so as to make
1t square with common sense. When
he gets his system in working order,
the dispatches say, 1.-The owner of a
small tract of land, who culivates it,
will escape lightly; while the owner
who does not will have to pay a. stiff
rate. The tax on improved city prop
erty will be light, and that on vacant
lots CORRESPONDENCE heavy"
Let Gales put his plan into OPERA
ton, and in a short while conditions
IN Sonora will put to shame Ameri-
cans who pride themselves on their
1periority. The land owners of So
nora will either l.. their land into
some use or let others do so. In
either case opportunities will be
opened to labor and capital in a. way
, that might be done in this country
also, if we would revise our own tax
systems on the lines proposed by
Gales.
Through the wording of. the dis
patches indicate that it is Gales in
tention to have different rate of tax
alton for improved. and unimproved
land, it does not follow that this is
anything more than careless report
ing. At any rate, while that would be
better than the American system, it
would not be the best possible way.
To get best results, it would but be
necessary to assess, for taxation no
other property than the value of the
bare land, irrespective of improve
ments, and tax all at the same rate.
The: tax should equal the rental value.
That would be enough to discourage
holding of land for any other purpose
than for use, and would not interfere
with industry. Such asystem would
put an end to unemployment and
solve the labor problem. Good luck
to General Gales and his enlightened
policy. May he help to give Ameri-
can legislatures some badly needed
lessons in craftsmanship.

ARE YOU L1vMe?.

What's the use of living if in living
you exist;
What's the use of living If there's
nothing to resist; "
What's the use of living if you do
not make life pay;
If You are no good to someone and
drift and drift away?
What's the use of living if, your life
is close and thin, =.
With all radiance of your manhood
narrowed down and shut Within.
And you have no smile or sunshine
for the crowds along the way,
You forget word of kindness grows
in sweetness day by day?
What's the use of living if you can
not laugh and sing 80
And toss the darkened shadows like
a sky lark on the wing? :
Thus live and love, and labor till the
closing of lifes day. '.~
Then fold our tents like Arabs and
softly steal away.

/ Charles A. McEwen, candidate for
county commissioner for the First
district, was born in Duluth "a years
ago. He is the Youngest son of the
late William McEwen; one of the
early settlers of this city. His eldest
brother is William E. McEwen, pub
Usher Of The Labor World and post
master at Duluth.
Charles A. McEWen has always
taken an active interest in civic mat
tiers. He, has never before been g.
candidate for office. His sole ambi-
. ton to be county commissioner is to
be OF service to the people. His long
residence in the Northern portion of
the district and his familiarity with
its needs make him especially quail
fled for the field work of a county
commissioner. He believes in good
roads and if elected will see to it that
every dollar expended by the county
in his district will be honestly, care
fully and efficiently spent.
AS member of the county board
he promises the people that. he will
work earnestly and faithfully for
greater economy in the administra-
ton of county affairs. He promises
to, devote his best efforts to curtail
every element: of waste that now OBJ
ta1ns In conducting the business of
the. county,, He will work to keep
taxes down and at the same time to
promote the general efficiency of the
various county offices.
The voters of this district will make
no mistake. by electing this hustling
young man: = as a member of the
county board. He will devote every
moment of, his time to the duties Of
the Office. and will render faithful
stewardship for, the confidence re-
posed in him by the people.

FINE FOR THE NORTHWEST


In the confirmation by the senate, Louis D.

courth the Northwest had chance to stand up and

The result shows that the Northwest is politically
the most Independent section of the country.
The measure of states lack spirit
may usually be- found in it's in the United
States senate.
The measure of any states subservency to party
rule and party bosses usually found in it's repre-
sentation in the United States senate.
On the Brandeis vote the following Republican sena.

Japan is about the size of California Her arah1e

Japan is still an gricultural country. Her manu-

The annual value of Japans farm products is one
twelfth that of the United States mineral products
oneforteth, her forestry products one-twentieth and
ner exports OF raw materials and manufactures one
eighth.
The value of Japah's farm lands is one-twentieth
that OF the United States and value of her bank
deposits is one-one-hundred- and -fortieth
Though the Japanese army is somewhat larger than
ours our navy is a third larger than Japan's
Before the war broke Japan was the most heav-
ny taxed nation on earth. As result of the Russo
Japanese out of every hundred dollars of wealth
produced thirty dollars is said to have gone to the
government directly indirectly the form of taxes
The general poverty of Japan is very great

Just why the penniless seldom succeed
agrculturst by taking government land has
been worked out by the New York congestion commit
tee The information in relation to the crosser
colonization bill now before congress. This bill is de-
signed assist farmers and to protect them from
plotation by land and money sharks
Speaking this bill before the house ommittee on
labor, May 49, Benjamin c. Marsh executive secretary
of the New York congestion committee quoted statistics
provided by the Jewish Immigration and Industrial Aid
soiety of New York.
ION the whole would not feel warranted in ad-
vislng any to buy farm unless he had minimum
capital of $1,000. Even then he will need assist
Without it $500 to $4,000 is little enough. The
same holds good even in homesteading government
land where the land costs nothing"
In other words it is risk for a man to undertake
farming with mortgaged outfit.
But there is obscure cause for the difficult
ties of the poor farmer Though little understun
