''Why, what is the matter, John?"
well, I'll explain" says John.
Harry Moore, the landlord, raised
my rent, and when / asked him the
reason he said his taxes had been
raised. But said I, do have to pay
your taxes?' Yes he answered,
some one does, for I have no other
means of making living ar paying
my bills except by my rentals, so you
see have to charge you extra on
everything in order to meet this OK
pense.'
Against the great trust monopo-
lies that control the meat, -four and
tobacco, they compel me to buy of
them and they set the price at both
ends, purchase and sale. Even the
produce merchant buys up the out
put of the orchard and leaves the ap-
pies to rot on the ground if the price
is not high enough for him to dOu-
BILE, triple and sometimes quadruple
his money"
Now, let me assure you, brother,
that you pay'taXes or rather tribute,
on every particle Of clothing, food
and shelter you use, or if you don't,
some Of your friends do for you. And
the smaller the amount you consume
the more you pay in proportion. For
instance the price fluCtUates &C
cOrding to the amount you buy and
not according to your occupation.
The time was when a dealer could
buy a bushel or a car at the same
price and the consumer had to pay
a much higher price. Not so today.
The man who buys the largest guam
tity gets the.lowest price.
Yet another phase Of the subject I
would like to call to your attention,
that is, that Mr. Bloat, the merchant
prince, calls up Mr.. MiddleWeight,
the produce merchant, and says: 81
want a barrel of apples sent out to
my house for home consumption"

view of the fact that the Workers
institute is developing into a real
radical center, uniting all the rebels
of Chicago who are interested in the
cause of modern education, the
members of the radical library con-
sidered it a waste of time and energy
to keep up a separate institution and
decided to transfer their 500 books
and furniture to the Workers insti-
tute and cooperate with it to make.
it a success.
All the comrades who have books
in their hands of the library are re-
quested to bring them to the Work
ers' institute, 920 S. Ashland blvd.
All communications may also be
sent to the institute Chicago Radi-

box of cold patch repairs when he
got the car and that he has had a
few punctures but always had the
