CONCENTRATIONS
OF WEALTH
Nation Warned Against Danger of
Big Unearned War Fortunes

"The creation Of big unearned
fortunes by the war is a serious
menace to democracy in this
country" declares a statement re-
Gently issued by the Association
for an Equitable Income Tax.
The statement is a singing in
dictment Of the present financial
status of America in respect to
fairness of distribution and the
methods used by the Weather
class in piling up their money.
Concerning this, the report says:
"All these incomes were derived
from some monopoly or privilege,
1t is obviously the duty of the
Federal Government to tax a very
large part Of such incomes into
the public treasury for the cost of
the war"
Ten persons during the hitter
year had net taxable .rconc Of
over S5,000,000. Each received at
least as much as 10000 unskilled
working mems families received.

Editor Cooperative News:
In your issue Of January Is, APP
pears an article by Walter Price
that should be read and passed
to "a neighbor by every Socialist,
who is familiar with the machina-
tons of the politician. The Non
Partisan League is simply the
revival of the political quack doc
tor of populist days, with its So
called panaceas-su gar-coated with
up-to-date camouflage. Mr.. Price
has pierced the armor and laid
bare the soul Of such would be
Barnburners.
This quackery. practically speak
ing, appeals only to that class
of self-employed workers who are
not grounded in economies, the
so-called middle class of small
farmers, small producers and
small store keepers, who have only
enough property to employ them
selves and thereby TO own the
results of their own toll In
selling the product of their own
toll they are unable to compete
successfully with the capitalists,
who by taking the product of wage
workers toll in large enterprises
can undersell them. They are
being forced out of business by
the capitalist class, and their
small properties go to swell the
fortunes of the large capitalists.
Alarmed by their near and certain
downfall they are easy victims to
the political quackery Of such po-
liticians as Mr.. Price has so ably
exposed.
Unable to compete successfully
in business they attempt the i'm
possible They endeavor by po-
ltical methods to stay the irri-
sistible march of large social pro-
duction. But they are doomed
to failure. Sheriffs' sale, bank
ruptcy and ruin stare them I'M the
face. From self-employed work
ers they are rapidly becoming
waRe-workers, or still worse--un-
employed They must obtain the
true knowledge Of the class strug-
gle and recognize that their best
interest is the interest of the
wage working class-the interest
of humanity; the interest Of the
producing and exploited class. as
opposed to the interest of the
non-producing and exploiting class.
Mr. Price says he refers the
Socialist party me too and |
will add in conclusion, il is the
only party which offers definite
program for the radical change
of the institutions of all nations

somewhat similar situation in "Be

The chief demand which the theatre

Of play Of foolery is that it shall
have story which is interesting and
continuous. He neither asks nor is he
likely to get any great amount Of Ora
matte suspense. Uness he is chuckle-
headed he knows from the very begin
ing that the hero and horoine will
marry in the end. The playgoer would
be grievously disappointed if they did
not. His interest is maintained by the
question of just how and when the am
lcable armisticc is to be concluded. As
a matter of fsct we have never felt that
playwright was entitled to much credit
for furnishing surprise ending. 1t

there is a continuity of charm and mo-

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

body conceived by the Hattons, and
yet they they do not impart the dis
turbing sense of acting up for the
benefit of reporter from the maga
zine section Of "The Sunday American"
Certain credit for the success of "Be
Calm, Camilla" must be withheld from
the playwright and reserved for the
players. Arthur Hopkins has never
put on a smoother performance. The
production seems to controvert the
theory of the necessity of preliminary
tour, for Miss Runners play opened in
New York with no prior performances
except two given for soldiers and sail
ors. It would seem that if the director
and the directed are sufficiently intel
ligent there is no real reason why they
need 60 to Syracuse or Red Bank.
Lola Fisher has developed from the
days of "Annabelle," or perhaps her
performances is better on account of
the wider scope offered to her in the
new play. She has always been adept
in handling light dialogue, but now
she is also able to be wistful at will.
Better yet, she does it without wiping
her nose. William Sampson contributes
another performance in the same play
which should rank with the best of the
year.
A particular tribute to the skill of
Miss Runners dialogue lies in its re-
ception by the audience. Almost in
variably each laugh earned by the play
begins scatteringly and then rises to
full volume. This would seem to in
dicate that definite intellectual process
is stimulated by the new play. After
all, Clare Hummer and Arthur Hop
kins have done so we'll that there is
every reason why nobody but Camilla
should remain calm about it,
A correspondent who signs himself
"a. L. G." writes from Washington:
"Sir: I wish to protest against a
mendacious and indecent reference to
George Creel which appeared in your
recent review of the performance at
the Hippodrome. In speaking of the
tableau of famous men of history you
said: They seemed to be grouped more
