Men and women have given their glood for
principles and ideals not only for the period of the
war, but for the period of all time. IN making sacri-
fees. ii was not their intention that the principles for
which they contended should be lost sight Of when
the war was won. They sacrificed themselves by
letting their blood, and now they are determined that
tyranny, whether II be in political or industrial life
shall be no more. The day for that has passed"
This Is language of a sort that might have been
resented a few years ago. But IL is not resented now,
because Of the record Of the American Federation OF
Labor during the war and since the signing OF the armis
tice. The public knows that it comes from a great body
of citizens OF proved loyalty TO American Institutions. and
that its demands on the whole are in keeping with the
principles of the war and the spirit Of the time.
1t is not only the more or less disinterested public
assumed to exist between the "laboring" and capital
istic' classes, which. acknowledges the fairness Of such
demands. As Mr.. Gompers remarks. employers too nave
come to see the light of the new concept of right, and
most of them are accepting the new order of things AS
for the exceptions, the conservative extremists, the Bour
bons of American capital, they are growing fewer all the
time, and they will have to yield to the inevitable, il
organized labor continues true TO the principles preached
and practiced by its present leaders.

TRUE CASH VALUES.

Fred Sims. chairman of the Board of State Tax
Commissioners, was in Lake County yesterday in con.
ference with the Board Of Review. incidentally he was
informed by men Of affairs that il was an outrage th>
way realty and improvements had been assessed in
Lake County. He was shown editorials in this news
paper asking that fair treatment be given manufac-
turers whose plants had been assessed beyond their
true cash value. Mr.. Sims expressed his interest in the
publicity that has been given by this newspaper to the
tax valuations and assessments and gave his interview
ers TO understand that if wrongs had been done, he
would see they were corrected.
In the meantime the most intense interest is beins
taken in the findings of the Board of Review. The red
sheets showing the realty valuations have been mailed
by the township assessors and there is a wave of in
dignation at the returns that have been made. One
man who bought a little home and lot in Hammond
eight years ago for s. 1900. and the house nearly ten
years old at that. was dumfounded to find his property
had been assessed at $4,000, nearly three times as
much as what he could hope in his fondest dreams to
even realize in cash.
The Board OF Review will undoubtedly find on in
vestigation that astounding values have been put on tax
tables in Northern Lake County and that the deputy
assessors have simply had no idea in many cases of the
cash value of the property.
II was recognized in many cases in Lake County
that property had been assessed too low in past years,
but the assessors have taxed values that will nulhfy
the effect of the new tax law and render it the most
odious tax law ever devised in the state. Great injus-
tice has been done to industry and private property in
Lake County. Other county's assessments show that
the work has been done here without reason. Lake
County has been gouged properly.
We have no fear but what the gentlemen compos-
ing the Board OF Review at Crown Point upon fullest
inquiry will find that if the present Industrial assess
ment is permitted to stand. some factories in the county
will be hit so hard it will take them time to recover
and some Of them won't want to recover If some of the
private property assessments are allowed to stand their
owners will permit them to be sold for taxes. They will
20 into the courts and show what true cash value is, and
what it is not.

THE DEMANDS OF LABOR.

It was a bold. clear statement that Samuel Gomper1
made in his opening address to the American Federation
4 Labor convention in Atlantic City. setting forth tn
present attitude of American labor.
Men and women shed their blood ana made
great sacrifices during the war because they were
fighting for principles and ideals" said Mr.. Gompers.
Now that the war has been won the workers-the
bone and flesh OF the nation-do not intend those
principals and ideals shall be lost sight OF.
when the war began we realized that II mill
tarism and autocracy should be victorious, never
again would there be opportunity for freedom of any
sort, never again would there be any chance for labor
10 develop and protect itself and the rights OF people
who work. So we threw our lot upon the side Of
those who stood for the largest measure OF freedom.
Now the war has been won and the day of re-
construction and readjustment is at hand. A new
conception of right has been reached and the world
has gone through a great change. Hereafter the re-
lations between nations and the relations between
men. whether they be employers. skilled mechanics

CAB METERS FOR PHONES.

A Utica, n. Y, paper proposes a CAB meter to
measure telephone calls. arguing that it is the long-wind-
ed telephone user who should be called upon to pay the
increased cost Of telephones, rather than the person who
uses his phone for brief and businesslike converse only.
There is a lot Of sense in this suggestion, and it
should appeal especially to those afflicted by converse
tional pests on the same party line with themselves.
OF course, to attempt to measure the conversation OF
the true phone hog is a greater feat than to fly across
the Atlantic. for it means to limit the infinite. But after
all. if one the home phone as on the long distance every
instant of time were money, and the meter kept on click
ing with the same memorable regularity as does the taxi
meter, it might be possible to control the matter a little

UPLIFTING THE FARMER.

It's the day of the upift in every line of endeavor.
Professor c. ]. GaIpin, while attached TO the faculty
Of the College of Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin as occupant of the chair of rural sociology and
agricultural economics, attracted the attention of the
Department of Agriculture, which has procured his
services to enlighten the husbandman on how 10 make
farm life attractive by finding ways and means of trans
planting the high spots of city life TO the rural districts.
How the farm woman may bear her children with
out the months of drudgery; how a farm child can have
~playthings and playmates galore without being required
to have its body stunted by hard work in its teen age:
and how the farmer can wear silk shirts, romp with his
children, become a bank director and church elder and
be the leisure hunting equal of his city cousin, is what
Uncle Sam has directed the professor to make clear.
This is cheering news, indeed.
Perhaps some day a paternal government may dis
cover some professors who will know how to properly
pay our naval officers. run the army without scandal
and put the post office department back where it was
before it became a stencil in the nostrils of business
men and even Disguised friends of the administration.

ALVIN YORK, U. S. A., RETIRED.

Attempts to exploit Alvin York. the greatest hero
of the war" who captured a whole German battalion
single handed. have failed.
He and his bride were to receive many honors at the
hands of the people of his state, and then were to be
taken to a sumptuous private car to the Rotarian meet
in Chicago. But York refused to go. saying that all this
hero worship which was to be heaped upon him rs only
a snare Of the devil. and unbecoming to an elder of the
church" So he and his mountain girl are going back to
their mountain cabin to live simply and cleanly, preaching
and practicing old-fashioned religion in their daily lives
And who shall say that they are not wise? What has
the big. snowy, noisy, acclaiming world TO offer Alvin
York onehalf SO wholesome, so lasting and satisfactory
as the life he will find in his native hills?
The nation had cause to be proud of this brave men
who was sent TO Europe to kill Germans and who there
fore made killing Germans his business; but it has just
as much cause to be proud of the sturdy independence
and the deep religious feeling which made him turn aside
from all pomp and fattery to the simple things he knows
make for happiness and peace.
