OWNING VS.. WORKING.

u Z
More than three-quarters of the in
come which goes to the rich people
of the United States is in the form
of rent, interest and profits. The
United Stated department of internal
revenue has just published sum
mary of statistics of income based on
the income figures for 1916. At that
time there were 429,4O1 people who
received taxable incomes. That is,
incomes in excess of $4,000 for single
persons and $4,000 for married persons.
The total amount Of gross income
received by these people was $3.50, 0O0-
900. One-ffth of this total was income
from personal services, either in the
form of salaries or Of professional fees.
Three-tenths was income from business
in the form of profits. The remainder
(46 per cent? was Income from pro-
perty, divided as follows: Rents $685.
100000, interest $668, 100000, dividends
$2,136, 100000. These three items with
certain miscellaneous incomes from pro-
perty brought the total in this class
up to $3,861 100000.
People with the smaller incomes re-
ceived three-quarters Of their income
from personal services and from bust
ness profits. People with the higher
incomes received one-third of their
income from personal service and bust
ness profits and two-thirds from prop
erty. In the case of those individuals
having incomes between 100000 and
100000 year (there were 376 of
them the division was as follows:
$11, 100000 in salaries and $94,000,000
in business profits, $8,OO0,0OO in rents,
$23,O00,000 as interest and $4,000, 900
as dividends. The total income from
property of these 376 persons was
$2OO,O00,0O0.

Senator Sherm1Un's Attack

The interest of the whole world centers
around the League of Nations idea
proposed by President Wilson and Sec
onded in loud voices by men in power
at Paris, London, Rome and elsewhere.
No doubt, there is much to be said in
favor of such league, but only in case
the principle of justice towards all is
to be the corner stone of the whole
construction and all nations are to be
made members of it under the same
conditions, with favor towards none,
The present covenant in it's revised
form. as adopted does not conform with
these general principles and, therefore,
has met with considerable opposition
in almost every country Of the globe,
the United States included 49,
But aside from this more general
opposition, voices are heard in this
country, attacking the League in it's
present form from purely American
standpoint. Senator Sherman of Hi
nois is one of those who fear the effect
of the League on American institutions.
He criticised President Wilson bitterly
Tor his conduct Of the peace negotiations
and denounced the League proposal
as an attempt to set up "a parliament
OF nations controlled by an oligarchy."
National sovereignty would disap-
pear under the League, the Illinois
senator declared, and liberties won
in centuries Of struggle would be lost

A NEW PERIL TO FREEDOM.

The National Civil Liberties bureau
through it's director, Albert de Silver
has sent out the following letter warn
ing against the imminent danger OF
new peace-time sedition law to gag
reform sentiment:
'After congress convenes and the
peace treaty is out of the way, strong
pressure will be brought to bear upon
the senators and representatives to
enact a peace-time sedition law. Such
a bill has been drafted.
EFTheg danger of such law is not in
what it purports to do but in what it
will be construed to do. Where feel
ing runs high, it will be easy to find
juries who will construe protests against
the evils of the existing social and
economic order as language intended
to incite resistance to the United States
or defiance or disregard of the Con-
stitution or laws
''In 1885 Thomas Jefferson said: 1T
is time enough for the rightful pur-
pose of civil government for it's officers
to interfere when principles break
out into overt acts against peace and
good order. In order to secure a
conviction under this proposed act it
is not necessary to show that princi-
pies have broken out into overt acts.
t'This great principle of Anglo-Sax-
on liberty has been disregarded by
the proposed law, which takes the COM
mission of the crime out of the realm of
fact and puts it into the realm of specu-
lation. Moreover, our present legal
system contains ample methods of
dealing with Indictment to disorder
and violence. 1t has always been a
crime to do so, provided only that the
disorder and violence actually occur.
1t is unnecessary to point out what
an engine Of tyranny such a law would
be. This proposed act must be de-
feated if freedom of public opinion in
this country is to be more than an
empty phrase and if we expect to achieve
orderly and intelligent social progress.
eve are convinced that if this legis-
4 lation is to be defeated, it will be beaten
by showing Individual congressman that
the sober judgment of the country is
against it. -
The ''sober judgment of the country
is sure to be aroused against this new
attempt at stealing our most precious
liberties. The deadening effects of thu
war time sedition law are still too fresl
in the peoples minds to allow repe
tition Of them during the time Of peace

The people don t know how deeply
Prussian militarism has been ingrained
in the American regular army that is
trained and differed from West Point
but those who had sons in the service
during the war are hearing something
about it since the boys have begun to
come home. National Guard officers,
especially, found this West Point mill
tary caste as domineering and arrogant
as any Hun saber-rattler.
There are National Guard and volun-
teer and A. E. F. officers from heute-
nants to brevet generals, who were
told not once but repeatedly by regular
officers that they treated their men too
we'll.
Returning soldiers know what happen
ed at and near the front. The episodes
were not merely scattered where Ameri-
can boys serving and offering their
lives for the nation and for human
liberties were brought before regular
army officers and being addressed in
insulting and indecent language whipped
out their "gats" and shot the military
autocrat through the body.
Such officers are not typical Of the
citizen army which fought so well on

poverty. But the Bureau apparently
confined it's attention to the poor, say
ing nothing as to whether sickness
among the rich also causes poverty.
In doing justice to the foregoing ques-
ton the research should extend to~both
classes of people, stating the relative
proportion of the cases of sickness in
each class. This would confirm the
general belief and experience that the
living conditions Of the poor make them
more subject to all kinds Of maladies.
The one effective remedy then to do
away with this discrepancy would seem
to be to increase the wages of the actually
poor and in this way raise their standard
of living. .
This year on Memorial day there
ought to be more than the usual display
Of the National colors Never in the
history of our country was there more
fitting year nor more appropriate oc-
casion to exhibit our pride in Old Glory.

Worth CONSIDERING.

Common experience in all countries
and at all times has shown that sick
ness and poverty go together among
the poor and not among the rich. Pc
culiarly enough, the Bureau Of NUM-
cipal Research in Baltimore holds a
different view in a report just published
The report which was made in answer
to the question: Does sickness cause
poverty or does poverty cause sickness,
shows that Of the 1868 cases studied
it was found that 6,307 were due to sick
ness or physical defects, leaving the
impression that sickness really causes

PeopIes' Tribune

Congressman Carl C. Van ry
suddenly and unexpectedly called away
from his field of action at the national
capitol, was true and valuable peo-
pies tribune in the sense that he really
represented the interest Of the common
people, using all his influence and energy
for the betterment of bad conditions
in his home state No better proof
of this could be found than in the fact
that he was reelected in the fall of 1918,
under most unfavorable conditions. Be-
fore America entered the war or the
side of the Allies, Mr.. Van Dyke was
one of the few representatives in Con-
gress who opposed the war to the last
minute, honestly believing that by this
stand he expressed the true sentiments
of his constituents back home. This
was his objectionable crime in the eyes
of the jingoes in our midst. But in
spite of their rawlings the people showed
at the polls last fall that they had been
satisfied with Van Dykes position by
entrusting him with a new mandate
to the Congress.
But Mr.. Van Dyke, whose untimely
death was a real loss to the state of
Minnesota, was also a true and faithful
servant of the people in every other
respect. He spent good part of his
time for the benefit Of the masses.
Wherever it was within reach of his
influence and power he left nothing
undone to help the working people in
the achievement of their just demands.
His memory, therefore, will be hide
sacred by them for many years to come.
a The special election to be held in the
fourth congressional district of Mime
sofa undoubtedly will attract much
attention all over the state. 1t will
be a sharp conflict between the reac-
tionary forces and real progressiveness.
Possibly a labor candidate may enter
the race on the side of the latter.

WABASSO IN FIGHT
FOR COUNTY SEAT
CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN STARTED
BY SPECIAL EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE
PETITION FOR AN ELECTION IS
CIRCULATING; CONTEST
TO BE HOT ONE

A campaign has been started bv
Wabasso citizens to have the Redwood
county seat removed to their city. A
special executive committee charged
with the direction of the movement has
been organized and is circulating a
petition to get the signatures of the voters
OF the county to the amount of 60 per
cent OF the votes cast in the fall election.
An Old Movement.
Wabasso citizens have agitated the
question Of starting county seat fight
on several occasions but nothing ever
came Of it and consequently the<s Wa
basso people feel that the people may
not take the proposition very seriously
at first and they have not desired any
publicity until they were absolutely
sure they could raise sufficient money
Tor the campaign and knew of a certainty
they were going into a county seat re-
moval contest, says the Mo9yun Messen-
ger.
Ask For Subscriptions.
A subscription list to finance the
contest is now being circulated and Atty.
Mckenzie of Gaylord, who engineered
the Sibley county seat removal contest
successfully for Gaylord, has been re-
tanned as counsel, so it is said.
According to we'll informed parties,
Wabasso will be prepared to offer site
for the court house gratis, and will offer
the use of the Wabasso hall gratis as
temporary court house while the court
house is being erected in case Wabasso
wins. Also it was said that about $4,000
had been subscribed for the campaign
fund.

Are We Sincere

{ What is the policy of present day
American diplomacy towards the IN
dependence of the people Of the Emer-
aid Isle? Considering the many out
spoken assurances of our love for the
liberties of all the peoples of this earth
really it should not be necessary to ask
this question. But the attitude OF the
American peace delegation at the Paris
conference throws a peculiar light on
certain high-sounding phrases spoken
before and after our entrance into the
war. The three Irish-American rep
resentatives who went to Paris on be-
half of their suffering brethren in Ire
land are sent from Peter to Paul without
being given a serious hearing. One
of them, Mr.. Walsh, left Paris on Friday
and is returning to the United States,
possibly because he became Disguised
with the things he was made witness of.

The war has changed France from a
creditor nation to a debtor nation so
far as present income is concerned. No
return is yielded from the $4,000, 100000
loans to Russia, Bulgaria and Turkey
of pre-war time. On the other hand
France has voted credits Of $34, 300, 000-
900 during the war, on which she has,
to pay high interest. Victory has
been very expensive for France.

Illinois farmers are making common
cause with those Of North Dakota and
Wisconsin, in regard to the federal

against this time change found an echo
in the Illinois state senate, the legis-

this law in three important farming
states of the Northwest, Congress should
not hesitate to repeal it. What are the
advantages of this measure, anyway?

Secret Treaties Win.

The discussion of the peace treaty
we have had for the past week shows
that the peace conference has made
good those secret treaties which all the
allied nations said had been renowned
With the enemy beaten it appears
that the representatives of the victo-
rious nations felt they could go back
to the imperialistic vomit.
Only in regard to those parts which
favored Russia have secret treaties
been abrogated. And it is to the credit
of the Russian revolution, however
much may be said against it, that one
of it's first acts was to renounce Rus
sia's share in the possible plumber, in
Guiding the much desired, all-the-year-
round port of Constantinople. More
than this, the Russians at that time
performed the great service to the
world Of publishing all the secret treaties
in the governments possession, and
thereby brought down upon themselves
the most intense hatred of our schem-
ing world politicians.
The secret treaties were made known
six weeks before we entered the war.
Wilson, therefore, knew Of them. Why
did he not secure more binding re-
nunciation as a part of our bargain for
entering? Did he not know better than
to trust the private assurances of special
ENJOYS such as Lord Balfour? .
