AMERICAN LABOR LOYAL

The action of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor in declin- ing to take part i'll an international confer ence of workmen and soldiers for the pur- pose of peace terms justified the confidence placed in the great body of American orga- nlzed labor by the government. There can be no question as to the loyalty of these men,
 In some quarters there has been a ten dency to look askanCe at the principles of la Dor. Accusations have been made that it is deliberately endeavoring to hinder Ameri- can preparation and hold up the country in an unpatrotic manner by taking advantage of the present critical conditions. The mum erous labor disturbances occurring over the country in practically every branch of indus duclng this impression
 There is no doubt that the strikes in i'm portant industries are a source of worry to the government, and unpatriotC, but they have resulted from trickery used by pro-Ger- mans and German agents, working i'll the guise of friends of labor rather than from a real lack of patriotism The leaders of union ism in America have shown their devotion by steadfastly supporting the government in its chosen course and have lived up to the pledge made at the outbreak of the war to mobilize labor thoroughly and efficiently. to have nothing to do with unauthorized con- ferences abundantly proves that American la bor is in the war to stay.

''The Blue Envelope

1.-The Blue Envelope" by Sophie
Kerr, is the story of modern Amer
lean girl, told in the first person
Leslie Brennan, an orphan, is left in
the care of a friend of her fathers
Her guardian leads her to believe
that she will receive a fortune some
day, but insists that she learn to sup
port herself. She chooses to become
a private secretary to a chemist who
is perfecting the formula for new
gunpowder for the United States gov
ernment.
The life of working girl in New
York, a plot of foreign government
agents, the detective agency of this
country and the love of a red-headed
Scotchman are some of the things
which make this book interesting.
The style is bright and charming, and
the story is never without plenty of
action in it.

A FULL VALUE TAX

The county assessors decision t.
levy future taxes on a full value as
sessment is one of the most important
steps taken in the effort to bring
Missouri out of the financial chaos
through which it has been struggling
for the last few years. 1t is the cul-
mination Of the carefully prepared
and business-like program prepared
by Governor Gardner since his ascen-
sion to the gubernatorial chair.
The decision to assess property at
its full value will mean that the valu-
alton of Missouri's resources will be
raised on the assessors books from
s1,9O5, ,OS7.752 to almost $4,000, 900, 900.
The comparison of these figures
shows the increased income that will
result, even if the rate of taxation
is reduced.
The most laudable feature of the
full valuation, however, is that it will
establish an equal rate of assessment,
where heretofore the rate has varied
in various parts of the state 1t is in
keeping with our Constitution that
each citizen should bear his fair part
of the financial burden of the COM
monwealth. The promised effort to
uncover and assess intangible prop
erty withheld by tax dodgers" will
also do a great deal to make the Mis-
souri, tax system equitable.
Missouri has suffered criticism and
the state government has been placed
in financial plights which the wealth
and prosperity of the state do not
warrant. 1t is the hope of all public
spirited citizens that the assessors,
working with the new Tax Commits
sion, have found the solution for the
tax problem.

CARRY YOUR OWN BUNDLES

The time has come when every
person in Columbia may cooperate
in campaign which is being insti-
tuted to lower the delivery expenses
of the merchants of the city. Many
people are aware that the merchant
who is called upon to deliver a spool
of thread or a loaf of bread is put to
extra trouble and expense; yet these
same people do not realize that they
could aid in reducing the high cost
of living by using a little forethought
and making all of their orders in the
morning.
A conservative estimate places the
delivery cost of the merchants of Co.
lumbia at $125,OOO a year. The Ma
tional Council of Defense asks that
the merchants refuse to deliver small
packages in order to reduce the high
cost OF living. Many of the largest
stores in the cities have already
ceased to deliver small articles, and |
now the merchants of this city are
asking that the people co-operate
with them.
When the housewife learns that
every small delivery costs the mer-
chant 10 or Is cents, she should 90

Columbia, Missouri, representatives
of Red Cross chapters at Boonville
and Fulton and visitors from other
parts of the state filled the Hall Thea
ter last night for the Red Cross bene-
fit play, "The College Widow" 1t
was one of the most successful bene-
fits ever given in Columbia, the play
being given without slip or the ne
necessity of single bit of prompting,
and the financial success being as
sured from the beginning.
+. Thomas as "Center Rush, Murphy.
The cast included thirty Columbians
and Summer Session students with a
group of well-known students at the
"supes." Perhaps the one member of
the cast who stood out as most pro-
fessional in her acting was Miss Mar
tina Schwabe, who had the part of
Flora Virgins, a prominent wait
ress." Miss Schwabe spoke her lines
loud enough to be head well through
out the house, and her realistic inter
probation of the college waitress was
well received. Her gum chewing
made it necessary for several pauses
in the progress of the play, that the
audience might show its enjoyment.
Sharing equal honors with her in the
comedy was the work of Forrest
Heavy" Thomas, who played the part
of center rush" Murphy. Miss Irma
Dumas showed signs of talent in her

showed that she well understood what

ried his part well last night.
