LABOR AND CAPITAL. PARTNERS.

The United States Steel Corporation
may possibly have a right" to refuse
any dealing with its employees on
labor organization basis, though that
is q very debatable question. But
even if this refusal is admitted to be
a capitalistic right, it can hardly, in
this day, be considered sound aolicy
It may we'll be granted that Steel
Corporation has acted progressively
along many lines, and in many re-
spects has treated its employees with
more than ordinary consideration. 1t
hardly deserves to have applied to it
this criticism, made by a national la
Dor leader: so long as capital takes
no interest in the human side Of the
labor problem, if all the worker lis to
the manufacturer is a number on
payroll, you are not going to solve the
problern'' But a further remark
made by the same critic does apply:
$50 long as the employer will Meth
err meet with nor recognize COM,
mittee of workers, just so long there
will be trouble. If the industrial
problem is solved, it can only be
solved by the worker having a voice
in establishing conditions
The world has moved along too far.
mankind has suffered too much, and
workmen today are too intelligent
and powerful to make il safe or pos
sible for capital to maintain the old
fiction that it is necessarily the mas
ter of labor, and that whatever con-
cessicns it makes to labor are gra-
cious benefactions. Labor wants nc
crumbs from the rich mans table
Labor wants to eat, self-respectingly
at a table of its own, not as the So
cial equal but as the economic equal
Of capital. And it will gain its end
peacefully and amicably, if capital
is wise, and forcibly If capital is auto

wear patched trousers-or skirts, as
the case may be-when clothing grows
over-expensive. He himself is said 70
have set the example of wearing
patches on the seat of his pants-or on
the knees, or wherever it is that Mr..
McAdoo wears them out, though
whether those patches were sewed or
by Mrs. McAdoo is not revealed.
Now comes his successor, Secretary
Glass, with similar message. Fandl-
ing more money than anybody else in
the United States, he boasts Of his
old clothes, and says that he expects
to wear his customary Office suit five
years longer, if the suit will stand it.
Far be it from the writer to
discourage the buying of a new suit
when it is really needed. Even a
knightly suit Of boiler-plate would
wear out in time. But there is vast
fiexibility in the life Of clothing. 1t is
amazing how long an old suit may
be kept serviceab E and good-looking,
provided it is kept cleaned and press

DEMOCRATIC ROYALTY.

The democracy idea really seems to
be spreading. Suggestions OF it are
found nowadays even among royalty
We have heard often Of den ocrat1c
kings in these latter years. and
there has been some notable progress
made along this line by thu roy Al lam
Dies of Belgium, England and Italy,
but on the whole, the term has teen
misnomer. Royal democracy has
consisted chiefly. in condescendin:s TO
mingle with ..commoners" occasional :
N-a mere yielding of substantial!
power and privilege.
Now, however, King Victor Eman-
uei of italy gives more convincing
sign of failing in with the spirit Of the
times. He is. said to have handed
over six of his finest palaces, villas
and parks for the permanent use OF
disabled soldiers, sailors and orphans
cf those killed in battle. and has an
nounced that he will relinQuish AL
his vast domains for the benefit Of
..the peasantry and those who fought
for italian unity
More convincing still, he will Sub
feet his private patrimony to taxa
ion equally with the tax Of every
cornmoner," and at the. same time,
continue his usual public gifts OF
$4N0,000 a year.
5Vith all this liberality, Enamel
will hardly suffer for the necessaries
of life. He still has a few palaces
left, and from all indications, pre-
ty respectfully sized fortune. How he
or his ancestors obtained them it
would probably be impolite to inquire.
Seine questions about royalty are SIM
ply not asked.
Why anybody should ever need even
as many as half dozen palaces will
pass the comprehension of an Anleri-
can, just as it passes comprehension
Why a rulers wealth should ever
have been exempt from taxation when
the property of his humblest subject
is taxed. However that may be,
Emanuel is to be congratulated for
having seen the light and done the

problem. Its adoption anywhere
quires state legislation changing the
old taxation system and so it is a
rather slow process.
This represents sort of halfway
step toward the Henry George plan
of a single tax imposed on lane
alone Even slight lowering OF
building taxes is sure to be opposed
by those whose wealth is invested in
land rather than buildings, because
they fear that it will raise land taxes.
1t is possible. however, that the tenn
porary deficit created by lowering the
building rate would soon be made uI

buildings.

LOWER TAX FOR BUILDINGS.

One remedy proposed for high
rents which is receiving serious at
ren:ion is the lowering Of the tax
rate on buildings.
1t IS pointed out that most of the
other remedies suggested have this
defect-they would tend to discour-
age building. With the country as a
whole about three years behind in its
building program, and with the addi-
tional difficulty to be faced Of making
up the building deficit in time of
high prices for materials and labor,
it is e!ident that building must be en-
couraged in some positive way.
1t is argued that the lower-tax So
luton would at the same time in
crease building operations and lower
rents It is an old idea, already ap-

OLD CLOTHES.

A controversy has arisen over the
suggestion made by Mark Sullivan,
former editor Of Golfers Weekly,
that the way to beat the cost of
clothes is to turn suit inside out
when it gets shabby.
Many tailors have risen up as one
man-which is as it should be, If it
takes nine tailcrs to make a man
asserting that an old suit cannot be
turned. They give all sorts Of tech
nical reasons to prove the impossi-
bilify of it. Against their arguments,
however, rests the testimony of Mr..
Sullivan that he has actually had 1t
done by a New York tailor, and that
two United States senator's have like
wise had it done, and been we'll salts
fed with the results.
tt seems to be case of finding the
right tailor. And surely if the
scheme works as we'll as Mr.. Sulli-
van SAYS it does, there ought to bc
more than one tailor in America able
and willing to turn the trick-and the

THE SAFE VACATION.

Anyone who has returned sound
and whole from a vacation in the
woods will tremble to think what he
sacred, when he buys the new
pamphlet issued by the L. S. Public
Health Service, gruesomely entitled
The Safe Vacation"
Sanitary conditions are more inn
portant than golf links or ball rooms, y
warns the little counsellor. II also
gives a list of bandages, drugs ana
ether contents Of the bathroom
medicine cabinet which should be
taken along. 1t even insists that a
clinical thermometer and hot water
bottle are the only safe and sane
companions to life in the woods.
If you camp out, you must trench
around your tent, build wooden
floor, screen your cook tent, and then,
being exhausted. lie down to pleasant
dreams Of what good time you might
have had if you were not upon the
safe vacation.
Upon the safe vacation you carry
remedies for bullet wounds, for
drowning, for poison ivy and for CHG
ger bites, and en- any and all occasion
you send for the doctor. This last is
the refrain. the golden thread o:
harmony. which holds the compost
ton together.
Perhaps it is just as well that the
book did not come out. until most
people had had their vacations. Il
they get it now and read it promptly

round once more. and the vacationists
can start off unsafe as always, but
