REMOVE THE INCENTIVE FOR
PROFITEERING.

Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo, in recent letter to Repre-
sentative Kitchin, chairman of the
ways and means committee of the
house, recommended that in the con-
sideration of new revenue legisla-
ton a real tax be levied upon all
war profits.
It has been estimated that "a
billion will be required by the gov
eminent in the next fiscal year, and
the secretary suggests that one-third
of this stupendbus amount be raised
by taxation.
While at present there is an ex-
cess profits tax which in a measure
reaches profits resulting directly
from the war, it is Inadequate, and
congress should realize that this is
the logical place to put the burden
of war taxation.
At present many corporations and
individuals are enjoying unusual
prosperity in the shape of excessive
profits, while the mass of people are
feeling the pinch of war prices on
living necessities. If a tax law were
enacted by which the government
would take all profits over those of
peace times, there would remain no
incentive to make exorbitant profits,
and an effective blow would be dealt
the despicable practice of profteer-
ing.
Our boys are giving their all on
the battlefelds of France, and there
is no reason why those at home
should be permitted to augment
their personal fortunes. Those
whose loyalty is genuine will readily
recognize the merit of Secretary Nc
Adoo's recommendation and lend
their support to such legislation.
This war will not be won until
there is genuine feeling of mutual
interest displayed, and all thought
of personal aggrandizement is
obliterated.

BVRNQUIST AND WHEATON.

The loyalty issue carried Governor
Burnquist successfully through the
primaries Monday. His supporters
succeeded in convincing a larger
number Of people that Mr.. Lindbergh
was not whole-hearted in his support
of the war. Mr.. Lindbergh wrote
book on the war. That was his mis-
fortune. In his zeal to attack the
profiteers he did not measure we'll his
language when referring to the great
issues involved in the conflict, and
the governments relation thereto.
His literary carelessness was his
downfall.
Governor Burnquist is making
loyalty his chief political asset. Has
he spent his ammunition in the
primary contest? What shall he now
have to say when he meets Fred E..
Wheaton, the Democratic nominee,
in the big fall campaign? He can
not question Mr.. Wheaton's loyalty.
W
ing the government at the very outset
Of the war when Governor Burnuuist
was sitting quietly and hesitatingly
IN his office and making no move to
rally the patriots of Minnesota to
action. The situation was such that
throughout the state men were ask
ing: What kind of governor have
We?' Nearly two months had
passed before Governor Burnduist
became the ardent loyalist he is to-
y day.
We shall be pleased to meet Gov
ernor Burnquist in this campaign
with ''loyalty'' as the issue, and
knowing the people as we think W.,
do, we sincerely believe President
Wilson will have a real American to
depend on in the state capitol at St.
Paul, and that man will be Governor
Fred f. Wheaton.

DIGGING HIS OWN GRAVE.

An old man OF Rising Sun. Neb.,
dug his own grave. When he had
finished digging and was removing
the supports he fell into the grave and
was killed. Now his body rests in
death in the grave he spent many
days digging.
1T is rarely that a man digs his
own grave" wrote the newspaper cor
respondent who sent out the story.
With that we beg to differ. Most
men-yes, and many women, too-dig
their own graves!
Oh, no; they don't use spades, SHOW
els and picks. They don't do their
grave-digging in earth, and they don't
fall into it after the digging is done
and thus kill themselves.
But they dig their own graves just
the same, millions of human beings.
They dig their graves with intem-
perate habits, over-worry, passion,
lack of sleep, excess of food, drink or
work. They dig their graves when
they try to. exist without sufficient
fresh air. They dig their graves when
they live in unsanitary homes or
workshops. They dig their graves
when they don't get enough food,
sleep, recreation. They dig their
graves when they disobey any of ma
lures laws.
They-in digging their own graves
bring ill health, unhappiness, often
poverty and insanity to themselves
and pain and sorrow, to those who love
them best.
A wiser way to dig ones grave is
to follow the example of the aged
Nebraskan, and do It with a shovel,
starting some time after, one reaches
the 18th milestone Of life.

ABOLISH THE NOMINAL PAY
SYSTEM.

The system now in vogue in the
United States by which an army, of
civilian workers is serving the gov
eminent on the "dollar-a-year' basis
is wrong, both in theory and practice,
and should be corrected.
When business man accepts such
a position at nominal pay, it is
evident that he will be under re-
straint and unable to render his best
services to the government, because
he must retain his allegiance to
private business interests. In the
majority-yes, nearly all-of such
cases the ''dollar-a-year" man re-
mains on the payroll Of some firm or
corporation, and, of course, is ex-
pected to render some service to his
real employer to justify his continued
connection with the firm.
While there is no inference of any
thing improper in the existing
practice, the fact is that while the
government requires the services of
experts in many lines of business
means should be devised for compen-
sating such workers so that they
may depend entirely upon their
present positions, and sever all con-
nections with private enterprise. The
government should not expect to re-
ceive something for nothing, for this
is impossible.
Undivided allegiance and devotion
to duty will result in savings to the
government which will more than
make up for, the amount expended
for salaries of civilian workers.
The ways and means committee
OF the house is now compiling data
concerning the so-called "dollar-a-
year, system, with view to provid-
ing adequate salaries for those whose
services warrant such compensation.
This is the proper procedure, and
The Labor World hopes that a de-
parture from the nominal pay sys-
tenn will be made, believing that it
Will result in a greater measure of
efficiency in the administration of
the various war departments.

HENRY GEORGE on LIBERTY.

We speak Of liberty as one
thing, and Of virtue, wealth.
knowledge, invention, national
strength and national independ-
ence as other things. But, Of all
these. liberty is the source the
mother, the necessary condition.
She is to virtue what light .iS to
color; to wealth what sunshine is
to grain; to knowledge what
eyes are to sight. She is the
genius of invention, the Drawn
of national strength, the spirit Of
national independence. Where
liberty rises, there virtue grows,
wealth increases, knowledge ex-
pands, invention multiplies human
powers, and in strength and spirit
the freer nation rises among her
neighbors as Saul amid his
brethren-taller and fairer. Where
liberty sinks, there virtue fades,
wealth diminishes, knowledge is
forgotten, invention ceases and
empires once mighty in arms and
arts become helpless prey to
freer barbarians.

ARE THE BURDENS EQUAL?
(From the Milwaukee Leader, }

(From the Milwaukee Leader.)
1t is easy for the journalistic and
oratorical apologists for the profit
GERS to believe anything they desire
or, at any rate, to pretend to believe
it.
We are treated to- the statement
that the common people loan their
money to the government, and that
the big fellows have theirs taken in
the shape of progressive income taxes,
excess profits taxes, and the like
the inference being that the big fell
lows are as hard hit as the little fell
lows
1t is true that the big fellows pay
war taxes. But The Leader has time
after time published the actual fig
ures showing that many big concerns
after deducting the war taxes, are
making greater profits than they did
before the European war began-and
many Of them even made greater
profits in 1917, when our own coun-
try was at war, than they made in
1916, before our country went into
the, struggle.
And now comes Claude Kitchin,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee of the house of representatives,
and makes an admission which corro-
borates our statements and figures.
Discussing the rumored new rev.
enue bill, Mr.. Kitchin said, 1.-THE gov
eminent. can double the amount of
collection from the excess and in
come taxes and still leave to indivi-
duals and corporations taxable in
creases 100 per cent larger than they
were making the year the war broke

The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1918-06-22

Milwaukee Daily News: Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover says: II do not
believe any person in the United
States has a right to make one cent
more profit out of any employment
than under pre-War conditions. do
not care whether this refers to farmer,
laborer, manufactu middleman or
retailer.''
Were Mr.. Hoover or anyone else
able to carry out this principle think
of what vast sums would be saved
the American people! 1t is entirely
likely that were there no more profit
from beginning to end, in war stimu-
lated industrial or commercial trans
actions than there was in similar
transactions before the stimulus of
war was given them, many savings
would be made.
In the first place, were this pos
sible, the high cost of living would be
markedly reduced. That alone would
mean many hundreds of millions in
the living of the people. Then there
would be vast savings for the govern
ment, reducing the cost Of war and
the amount of taxes the people are
required to pay. That also would ap-
ply to the new taxes now being dis
cussed by congress and the admins
tration. On top of that would come
the huge government loans. They
would also be much less in amount.
SO if this profiteering could be cut
as Mr.. Hoover would evidently like
it, the American people would find
their part in the war and their living
down to where there could be little
complaint

VIVA OTHER PAPERS SAY
PRACTICAL DEMOCRACY .

Minneapolis Labor Review: Enc
mics of democracy and of President
Wilson will probably endeavor to
place the president in the false posi-
ton of being in favor of secret
diplomacy because of his letter to
congress stating that he believed the
treaties should be negotiated in exc
cutive senate session, but should in
every event be published after COM
pleted
1t is not difficult to see from the
tenor of the presidents letter that he
takes this attitude because Of present
conditions and not as continuing
policy.
II one of the Central powers should
wish to quit the fight and make
treaty with the Allies it is quite easy
to understand that public discussion
of the matter before it was consum-
mated would give the other Central
powers an opportunity to bring such
a move to disaster.
No man is better versed in the
theories of pure democracy than the
president, but he evidently realizes
that above all things ne must make
his democracy one which is practical
under the circumstances. At the first
move on his part which no matter
how theoretically correct was not
practical, the wolves Of reaction would
set upon him, and use the incident
to undermine democracy.
The president is just as democratic
and his ideals are as democratic as
ever, and he is making democracy eff
fective by making it pra ctical.
