cial Fool Killer in Films

"The Los Angeles Times" of JAM
uary 10 prints the following:
The ingenious insight into the woes
of the government is given in tele-
grams received here yesterday by
Douglas Fairbanks from Joseph Tum-
ulty, secretary to the President, and
Frank r. Wilson, national director of
Liberty Loan publicity, appealing to
him Immediately to begin the construc-
tion of film to be used as propaganda
to stem the tide of popular criticism
which the telegram says amounts to a
"storm of attack" against the national
Administration. 1t is suggested that
Mr.. Fairbanks assume the role of
the "official fool killer" in the picture
and proceed to "wallop" the critics.
Mr.. Fairbanks wired that he will
undertake the job at once and will
confer with William G. McAdoo on the
subject when the latter arrives here
tomorrow, as Mr.. Wilson suggests.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 7.
"Douglas Fairbanks,

AS you KNOW, since Ine WAL LIc
air has been filled with the spirit
of criticism. Editors and individuals
seem more disposed to peddle crti-
cism directed against great govern
ment activities than to give proper
credit for really great achievements.
Some things against which this
storm of attack has been directed
are the PRESIDENTS peace programme,
Inconvenience of railroad travel dur
ing war, high taxes, burden of bond
buying, graft in conduct of war, too
much compensation to war labor,
inconvenience of food and fuel regu-
lations and especially the general
charge that America functioned slow
ly in war. These frequent criticisms,
which give more attention to our
failure than to our successes, actu
ally have the effect of multiplying
the spirit of intense patriotism de-
veloped during the war and threat
en- to rob our soldiers and others ac-
tive in war work of the credit justly
earned.
Weakens U. S. Morale
"This actually has the effect of
weakening our national morale and
threatens the success of the fifth
Liberty Loan. Despite the fact that
America saved liberty for the world,
we allowed ourselves less credit at
home than any of our allies. All
Of this suggests the possibilities Of

Consider Income Tax to
Clear n. Y. Excise Loss
Legislators Face Grave Problem
of $l2,O0O,OOO Deficit
Prohibition Entails

ALBANY, Jan. 19.-The effect of
prohibition upon the states revenues
and the development of new sources Of
income to supplant excise tax receipts
present grave problems to the Legisla-
ture, A deficit of $12,0OO,Oo0 must be
made up this year. To meet this con-
dition it is more than probable that
state income tax will be levied.
The suggestion that personal prop
erty be made to bear a greater burden
did not meet with approval of legisla.
tors, principally because of the diff
Guilty Of appraisal and collection. Real
property, 1T was felt, was already as
sessed as much as it could stand and
special franchise taxes have always
been cause of trouble and litigation.
Senator Frederick NJ. Davenport, Of
Oneida, and Assemblyman Franklin w.
judson, of Monroe, chairmen of the
Legislative committees on taxation in
d statement tonight referred to the
recommendation of the Mills special
taxation committee for the levy of a
state income tax. The first step along
this line was taken two years ago, when
net incomes of corporations were sub
TESTED to 3 per cent tax, which pro
duced a revenue of S2O,00O,OO one
third of which went to the localities
where the corporations were located.
ut has been suggested" they said
that this income tax now be applied
to all sources, including all businesses
and individuals. 1t has been estimated d
that the valuation of personal propert
in the state is $4,000. 100000. A flat
1 per cent tax, deducting all exemp-
tions, would yield about S12,OO0,OOO,
which is the amount desired to make
up the states deficit this year
at also has been suggested that the
greater portion of the income tax be
returned to the localities from which
it is derived to offset the heavy burden
on real estate. Another suggestion is
to stop all exemptions on real prop
erty."

the trade union movement in particular
by tlelng it up with the Bolsheviki.
The problem of disposing of radical
resoIutlons was met by agreement of
the leaders to permit but one resolu
ton other than that on Mooney to be
debated. All others were waste bas-
keted and when two were disposed of,
Nolan cal y gavelled the final ad-
journment, leaving the radicals with
wrecked plans and much bitterness
against one another. SO bitter were
they at one another that had thev full
possession of the conference vester-
day it is doubtful if they could have

staff CORRESPONDENCE

S'dU correspondence
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Now that the
Mooney labor conference has adjourned
without launching the nationwide Boil
shevik drive some of its hackers had
planned to have it launch, it may be in
order to review the work of the con-
ference and summarize the results.
The Importance of these lies not so
much in what was actually done as in
what was demonstrated. The confer
ence demonstrates:
% That organized labor, irrespec-
tive of belief or disbelief in Social
ist or other radical political action,
believes Mooney is entitled as a mat
ter of natural justice to a new trial
or an unconditional pardon.
90 That so far as there is any an
prova! in the labor movement for
Bolshevism, this demand is confined
to the territory about New York
City and to the territory lying be-
tween Butte, Mont. and Seattle in
the Northwest The rest of the
SouAtiS' anu Pd1 elSuldIIy IHo .NlQulo
West, is substantially clear of it.
Radicals Showed Out
go That the so-called radical ele-
ment within the American Fedora
tion of Labor which for years has
opposed Gompers's policies is not
prepared to join with the new radi-
Gals. On the contrary, it showed
itself as being opposed to the Bolshe-
visit programme of wrecking the
American Federation of Labor as
now constituted.

have existed between conservative

IS M TO last day, month or year
The conference was a distinct disan-
polrtment to those who hoped to use
1t to spread Rolshevism. This hope
was basel on belief there would be
comparatively few conservative unions,
particularly from the East, that would
SEND delegates and that Samuel Com
pers and the larger men in the move
i9ent would stay away. Furthermore,
the call for the conference was so
loosely drawn as to include every cult
o. lsm' directly or indirectly con-
nected with the labor movement. Nor
was. the number of delegates each or
ganiZation might send stimulated.
IN these conditions the extreme radi-
Gals sensed an opportunity to seize the
cloak OF organized labor to cover a
nation-wide Bolshevik movement and
PLANNED accordingly. Calls were sent
to radicals to rally in Chicago and hail
the coming Of "der tag"
Leaders Are Warned
Some of these calls, issued on ia
,niliar l. w. w. lines, fell into the
hands of leaders of the organized labor
movement; others fell into the hands
of the Department of Justice The
American Protective League r.,slved
yet other copies. In this manner both
the leaders of the Federation Of Labor
and the government were warned

tail revolutionary programme, the

order, there would be bet one ship
builders union instead of the fifteen or
more unions now in the shipyards This,
declare a general strike, and it was
labelled real revolutionary movement.
AS parties to all this, it was planned
to take into the fold all who might
wish to join, including the remnant of
the l. W. w.
In consequence Of the programme, as
rare a collection of radicals as ever
came together were on hand Monday
ter the conference, confident that all
would go well. They brought with
them resolutions declaring for the
establishment of various revolutionary
bodies for general strikes to free Hay
wood and all others in prison for acts
against the war as we'll as interned
Germans, for a general strike against
prohibition and for general strike to
obtain q four-hour working day Other
resolutions called for the abolition of
capitalism and declared for freedom to
preach birth control. In a word there
were few if any. radical hobbies not
ridden into the resolutions committee
by one or more persons.
