PARK CLUBS.-IlankS TO A Glrl
Reader, B. z. and VIM. J. Ressel. To
criticize is easy enough, but to ma
terialize a thought is quite another
thing. Cooperation will be neces-
sary in order to build up the club.
People must be interested, and not
only that, but be active helpers.
1t must be borne in mind that it
will be a gathering Of strangers;
folks who must spend their Sunday,
afternoons and nights alone. l am
quite certain there are a great num-
Der who go to lectures, concerts, ETC.,
every Sunday by themselves who
would like to be in company. How to
bring these folks Of both sexes to-
gether is the question. How would
the following suggestion work? As
there is nobody to introduce us, we
must do it ourselves. Meet at a GER
tain place and go to the park, chang
ing each Sunday to a different one.
Let us meet, say at 3 o'clock. We
can play games until 6 o'clock. Then
go to a restaurant in bunch. Each
pays his or her own bill. This way
nobody would feel under obligation,
but there would be company at the
meal which IwOUld call sOciable.
After that any suggestion from
any member could be carried out.
This is only a general outline of how
at least to meet. The first few meet
ings would naturally have a more or
less cold and stiff atmosphere, but
that is to be expected because we are
strangers. The way to organize
could be settled in detail when eat
ing, which would eliminate the for
NAL appearance Of a called meet
ing"

die age should take part in this, be-
cause they are the ones who are

TAXING CHURCH PROPERTY
The advocates of the policy of taxing
church property are weakening their
cause by failing to discriminate be-
tween things that are rightfully
property and things that are cIassed
as property not of right, but because
Of legal privilege that is not founded
in justice. The only just title to
property comes from the fact that it
is produced by labor. Hence the
CHASING of things as property that
are the fruit Of Iaw-created special
privilege leads to confusion and
wrong conclusions.
The law at present recognizes land
as private property In equity there
is no justification for private prop
erty in land. The only right that
men have to land is the equal right
Of each of us to the use of the earth.
AS Jefferson phrased it, the land be-
longs in UsufrUct to the living. The
dead have no right to it."
To establish our equal right 20 the
use of the earth two things are ne
cessary, l, the exclusive possession
Of lots and parcels of it by individuals
or cooperative collections of indi-
viduals; 2, the taking by the COM
munity of the annual unimpToved
value of these divisions for public
purposes and the use of such taxes
for purposes that benefit all of us.
Hence to tax church property that
is produced by labor would be I'M
just. To tax the unimprOved value
of the land that they own would be
just. The same principle applies to
all land. Justice demands the eX-
emption of everything that is pro-
duced by labor and the taking Of the
entire annual value of all land for
public revenue. Justice equally de-
mands the expenditure Of this rev.
enue for services that will benefit all

MINER LEADER ATTACKS
BRITISH FOOD SITUATION

LONDON, July Is. - Robert
Smile. president Of the Miners fed
Grafton of Great Britain. often de-
scribed as the most powerful labor
leader in the United States kingdom,
attracted attention TO himself re-
Gently by making a violent speech
at Newcastle in which he attacked
the food situation i'm this country.
The miners federation is the larg-
est single trade union in the coun-
try, with a membership of more
than a million men.
Smile attacked the men who, he
said. are holding back fOOdstuffs
and making profits out of the poor.
The Russian revolution. he said,
took place owing to shortage Of
food. and he did not believe that
the people of this country would
see their children starve while there
was food i'm the country.
Smile lives at Larkhall in Scot
land. He was mining in L.anarkshire
as a boy 40 years ago, and has liv-
ed ali his life in Scotland. In 1886
he was appointed secretary TO one
of the branches of the Scottish
miners union, and became its pres
ident i'm 1894, passing on 10 the
presidency of the larger body in
1912. He was the real leader of the
great coal strike in 1911-12. He has
been seven times defeated for MEM
Der Of parliament for which he was
candidate under the banner of
the independent labor party.
