QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
IN ECONOMICS

l. What is economics?
2. What is wealth?
8. What is capital?
4. What is the incentative for
the investment of capital?
5. What is commodity?
6. Is land commodity?
7. Is labor commodity?
8. What is the difference between
labor power and other conmodi-
ties?
ANSWER
l. Economics is the science of
management. Thus farm economics
is the science of farm management.
Household economics is the science
of household management, political
economics, the science of political
management; industrial economics
the science of production and dis
tribution of wealth.
2. Wealth is crystalized labor
power. Any product of labor that
satisfies human need. A tack is
wealth.
g. Capital is that part of wealth
used to exploit labor.
A, Profit, or the hope of profit.
5. Commodity: A product of la
Dor made for the purpose of sale
or exchange, A product, is the
result of the application of human
labor power to the raw materials OF
nature. A product if useful is
wealth; if not, it is a 'waste-prod-
uct'
6. No. 1t is a raw material
The commodity nature of land is due
to the labor power expended for the
improvement.
7. Yes, as it is itself "the result
of the application of labor power to
raw material" and is "made for pur-
poses of sales" In fact the laborer
must contract for it's delivery before
he can get an opportunity to apply
his labor power.
8. When other commodities are
used up or transformed there is no
added value. When the commodity
wheat is made into the commodity
flour the only added value is the
value Of the labor power Of the la
borer who superintends the trans
formation. Hence, labor power is
the only commodity, which can create
a value greater than its own. This
IS the source Of surplus value

AND NOW THE
UNIVERSITY OF
ILLINOIS
Professors Must Renounce Radicalism
or Get Out

Professors Must Renounce Radicalism
or Get Out
CHAMPAIGN, Hl.-The University
of Illinois is wildly discussin gthe al
legged dsloyalty Of a considerable
number Of noted faculty members,
following the visit of secret serv-
ice agent of the state institution.
Eight uncompromising faculty radi-
calls went through third degree ex-
animation from p. m. until mid
night Wednesday.
DR.. A. G. Cole, department of
history, and DR.. Q. l.. Shepher, de-
partment of philosophy, were sum-
moned for examination regarding
their patriotism Six other radicals,
including members of the chemical
classics and sociology departments,
accompanied them to the city hall.
Agent Abuses Woman
Each professor was examined
separately. He was asked whether
he had bought liberty bonds, wheth-
er he believed the capitalists had
brought on the war and were now
going to stop it through fear of
Socialism, and whether he was So
cialist. The federal agent became
abusive toward one of the women
instructors and called her frank,
rotten, vicious Socialist and an
archist" so loudly that people down.
stairs heard him.
Mrs. Mary Busey, owner of the
bank, which handles some of the
university funds and former owner
of lands now bought by the univer-
sity, who is one of the university
trustees, boasted that she had been
responsible for Kidding the univer-
sity Of Carl Haessler, for three years
instructor in philosophy there, and
now secretary Of the Peoples Coun.
Gil of Milwaukee. He had said in
writing that he could not patriotical-
ly approve of this war and would not
serve if drafted. She stated she was
ashamed of having such radicals and
Socialists on cher faculty" Prof.
R. G. Tolman of the department of
chemistry holly asked, "Your fac
ulty? Do you think we are your
servants?" Mrs. Busey replied,
"You are in my employ"
Professors Laugh at Lynching
The secret service agent reported
that the professors had treated the
whole examination as a joke, had in
jured his dignity, had sneered at
certain kinds of patriotism, and had
refused to be impressed when he
threatened that recruits in the To-
cal aviation school might treat them
as Cincinnati patriots had treated
Bigelow.
The university authorities have
the question under consideration. A
considerable portion of the faculty
is secretly in sympathy with the
accused teachers and severe action
may lead to extensive disruption of
the teaching staff of the univer-
sity.

THE OLD PROPHECIES

An ancient Japanesese prophecy,
dating back to 1898, runs; when
men fly like birds, ten great kings
will go to war against each other,
and the universe will be under
arms"
Similar to this is the old English
prophecy, said to date back several
hundred years:
when pictures look alive, with
movements free,
When ships like fishes swim beneath
the sea,
When men, outsripping birds, can
soar the sky,
Then half the world, deep-drenehed
in hood, shall die"
