DEMOCRACY AND LABOR

I'VE cannot make the world safe
for democracy without extending de-
mocracy to the world of labor" writes
A. W. Taylor in an editorial in the
Christian Century. There can be no
real and continuing political democra-
cy without an Industrial democracy.
If we fight for the rights of oppressed
nations we must also fight for the
rights of oppressed classes within the
nations. We cannot make the world
safe for democracy without making
democracy safe for the world. 1t is
as true today as in Lincoln's day that
a house divided against itself cannot
stand. Lincoln spoke of a political
division, in the house in uttering that
famous phrase, but he also saw the
class division and warned of its perils.
The great emancipator was not an
academic economist and doubtless
knew little of the books on that sub
ject, but he had a naive, almost in
tuitional wisdom in regard to all
things human and his declaration that
labor is the source of all wealth was
far nearer the truth than were the pos
tulates of the schools of Adam Smith
and Ricardo. Lincoln was not a Mar
xian in saying this, nor is a modern
who says it necessarily a MARKHAM or
a socialist; but a seer with half vi
sion cannot but see that the trend of
thinking today is toward Marks con-
tention and away from those of cap
italism's defenders in the school of
Ricardo.
"In other words, sound thinking to- I;
day tends Overwhelmingly to substan- |
tiate Lincoln's declaration that the
real source of value is in the creation
of labor and that society's overwhelm-
ing debt is not primarily to the cap /
italist, but to the elemental creative
factor-labor. Labor however, does
not represent merely hand work; it |
represents work, and the man who
works with mind is just as much a
worker as he who labors with hand. |
In fact, how many work with mind or
hand alone? All use both, some more
of one than the other, but few ono
only. All laborers, so-called, use
brains as well as Drawn, and artizan-
ship or skilled labor uses a maxi
mum of brain work to direct the work
Of the hands. The writer recently
heard a kid-gloved professor de-
nounce heatedly those skilled workers
who draw the 'outrages' wage of
from ten to thirteen dollars per day
in ship yards and other government
works and utter ominous warnings of
the horrors of the industrial revolu-
tion il portended if something was not
done to thwart their arrogance; yet
this same lily-handed son of a capi-
talist was educated from his fathers
and drew from fifty to one
hundred dollars per lecture for such
effusions. Verify, whom the gods
would slay they first make mad!"

SERGT. MCBIRNIE

Sergeant VIM. s. McBirnie, an

az the front for more than two years,
created a sensation at Liberty Hall
last night with his vivid and dra-
matte description Of a charge from
the trenches through No-Man's Land
and a han6 to hand encounter with
the Germans in which his pal was
killed and he was seriously wounded.
When ne came to his senses he was
IN Red Gross hospital.
"Those Red Cross nurses are the
heroes of this war" declared NC
Birnie. "Tkey are women who have
left luxurious homes TO receive brok-

BIG INCREASE MADE
IN TAX Valuations
for Corporate Prop
erty Higher Than Total
for Year 1917.
TINES BUREAU.

TINES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL
INDIANAPOLIS. IND, May 21-The
Indiana state board Of tax commission
ers. at the close of its second 1918 sea
son today. announced an enormous in
crease in the valuations for taxation
purposes OF the classes of corporate
property. which lies in the Jurisdiction
Of the state board. The net increase
over the 1917 total tax valuations was
s15,7oS.s44. being by far the greatest
increase that has been made by a state
board in any one annual period for many
years, and 1t is doubtful if such an in
crease ever was made before
The classes of property valued by the
board for taxation purposes under the
Indiana law include steam railroads.
electric railroads. express companies.
pipeline companies. telegraph compa-
nies telephone sleeping car and trans
portation companies.
War conditions were reflected tremen-
dously in the work Of the board. but
the largest increase in valuation was IN
the steam railroads. and this was made.
in general. to bring that class of cor
porate property into more uniform valu-
alton conditions than heretofore have
been the case. The increase of approxi-
mately s10,000.000 in this class of prop
erty was made. although William c. Nc
Adoo. director of railroads. had written
a letter to Governor Goodrich. asking
that state taxing authorities "go easy"
on steam railroads. since they now have
been taken over by the government. The
tax board felt that tho revenues sbOvrp
fully justified the assessments made.

It Is evident that the government
