TT ERE'S little sample of what is
happening to the pacifists
when they go pussy-footing
around the labor movement. This
description of a pacifist exit is from
the Minnesota Union Advocate.
Organized labor is showing its
genuine loyalty to the government
and its unwavering hostility to the
Peoples Peace Council in many
places. Two of the most striking
exhibitions of these feelings have
been made recently in Denver. At
the last meeting of Transfers Union
No. 575 in that city representative
of the Denver branch of the Council
presented himself at the outer door
of the meeting hall and asked per-
mission to address the union, stating
that he expected to get the members
to vote a monthly contribution to

VALUABLE INFORMATION

DY all means let us have more
X of such reports as the Bureau
of Municipal Statistics of the
Department of Labor and Industry,
issued last week from the pen of ].
Herman Knisely, relating to third
class city police costs and opera
ton. The information is valuable
and should be extended to all other
lines of municipal activity. Such
compilations not only let the people
know how their own city expenses
compare with those of other towns of
like size, but they give to councilmen
and heads of departments material
upon which to base economies or ex-
tensions.

UNFAIR TAXATION
[Philadelphia Record (Dem.)

A person earning $4,000 year on
a salary or for professional services
would pay income taxes, special
war income tax, surtaXes and excess
profits taxes amounting altogether to
S2,099.20. Another person with an
equivalent income, but derived from
interest on bonds, mortgages, etc.,
would be required to pay altogether
1850. The taxes in the first case
would amount to about 10 per cent,
and in the other to about 8 per cent.
of the income. This is the simplest
way of showing that the new law
subjects salaries and professional
earnings to double taxation, and the
demonstration is unanswerable.

NORMAN, Okla, Nov. 3.-The
movement to transfer the annual foot

game will be played November II at
Fort Smith.
Oklahoma and Arkansas university

movement in order that they might
witness the game Bennie Owen,
coach and general manager Of ath
letics at the University of Oklahoma,
favored the transfer, but Arkansas
authorities decided against it. Fort
Smith is only n short distance from
Fayetteville and Arkansas wanted to
play the game at a city where the
student body might attend. Also 1t
was decided that Fort Smiths sup
port each year could not be jeopar-
died for this one game.
After the University of Oklahoma
meets the University of Kansas next
Saturday in the biggest game of the
year or Boyd field, Arkansas is next
on the schedule. Then on November
20 Oklahoma plays Henry Kendall

season with the annual contest with
Oklahoma Aggies az Oklahoma City.
The Kansas game looms as the
hardest of the schedule. Sooners

powerful. Arkansas also is expected
to prove a hard opponent, but at the
present time Indications are that the
