CANADIAN FARMERS
SHOW THE RIGHT WAY
Their Plan to Replace Tariff
Robbery by the Taxation of
Land Values Gaining Favor
in the United States.
(By Frank Garrison.)

In an editorial article discussing
the Canadian national debt the
Grain Growers Guide declares that
the present sources of taxation will
not suffice to provide the enormous
sums made necessary by war ex-
penditure. The tariff is out of the
Question, for the farmers are de-
termined to break down the monop-
Ioly enjoyed by the manufacturing
| interests at the expense of the con-
sumner. Instead of impoverishing
the consumers, who represent the
entire population, by taxing i'm
ports, the Guide advocates a Fed
eral tax on unimproved land val
ues, which ARE an eminently
proper subject of taxation, because
they are created by the community.
Land, in which term is included all
natural resources such as minerals,
timber, water powers, rights of way
and fisheries, as well as agricul-
tural land and town sites, derives
II its unimproved value from the
presence of the population, public
improvements, and public services
"The value thus created goes at
the present time into the private
pockets of individuals and corpora
tions, who are thus enabled in
many cases to acquire large for
tunes without giving anything in
return. A tax on unimproved land
values would divert a portion Of
this unearned increment into the
public treasury, and thus secure for
the public use values which have
been publicly created. This surely
would be Justice"
A tax of per cent on unimprov-
ed land values in Canada would, it
is estimated, raise $70,000,000 an
nually, but finance ministers, with
their class sympathies, are blind to
this proposal. But by advocating it
the Canadian farmers once more
prove their devotion to the princi-
pie of equal opportunity. They are
ready to forego the legal privilege
which makes it possible for the
landlord to sell to the needy the
right to use the earth!
by increasing the tax on I'M
improved land values and decreas-
ing the tariff" continues the
Guide, ministers of finance could
relieve industry and the necessities
of life from the burden of taxation,
and secure a larger portion of the
public revenues from publicly
created values" Land speculation
would at the same time be discour-
aged, land could be had for use at
more reasonable prices, and the
business of the country, as well as
the Federal revenue, would thus be
favorably affected by the taxation
of unimproved land values

U. S. Farmers Agree With
Canadians

The Nonpartisan Leader enforces
the argument of the Canadian
farmers by calling attention to the
fact that the late Horace +. Thomp-
son of st. Paul, owned Minnesota
lands valued at more than 1900,
900 which he had bought at frac
ton of its present value. "Others
worked it for him. He took profits
on their operations, but greater
than these were the accretions of
value caused by the settling of the
country, by the increased demand
for food and by the improvements,
made by the real farmers. 9.
Those lands must now be rent
ed at figure that will give the
Thompson heirs good return on
the $4,5O0,00Q valuation. The rent
ing farmers must work longer
hours and save more frugally yet
to earn a profit on the 'watered'
valuation that has come as the re-
suit of their own work. And that
will make the lands that much
more valuable and still greater
profits must be made. Thus the
load, ever increasing, is heaped on
the back of the producer.
Is it any wonder that the num-
Der of farm owners is constantly
diminishing, and that the West is
becoming a land of tenant farmers?
In pointing to the taxation of land
values as the way to cure the evil
the Leader declares that the self
ish holding of millions of dollars
worth of lands by any individual
cannot be tolerated while millions
are land hungry. The United States
cannot afford to degenerate to a
state of society where a few aristo-
Gratis will own all the land and
have it titled by the "peasantry.

THE BAY CITIES
METAL TRADES
STRIKE NOTES

NiNSNtlNtu lOO ldle IOT puDllCd-
ton in last weeks issue.)
SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-
An appeal to labor not to slacken
its efforts in support of the strik-
ing metal workers of the Bay Cities
was made by R. w. Burton, Presi-
dent of the Bay Cities Metal Trades
Council, last Friday evening at a
meeting of the San Francisco La
Dor Council.
THE situation is as good as it
ever was" Burton said. Efforts
are being made by a committee
headed by Mayor Rolph, of San
Francisco, and by other bodies to
bring about a settlement of the
strike.
Although We expect something
definite to come out of these at
tempts at settlement, there is all
the more need for keeping our
ranks intact. The shipyard en-
ployers will come to terms only
when they see they cannot force
nor cajole our men back to work
under non-union conditions.
Many of the smaller employers
already have come. to terms with
the metal trades unions. From 70
to 80 establishments, employing
more than 5000 men, have grant
ed the eight-cent increase and have
met the union conditions.
During the last week ten large
commercial shops, employing more
than 1000 men, have entered into
agreements with the unions. With
in a short time we expect all COM
mercial shops in the Bay District
with the exception Of those owned
or controlled by the Steel Trust, to
come to terms.
"The employers deliberately
caused the lockout last October, the
beginning of winter. They hoped
to starve us back to work during
the winter. But spring is here, we
are holding fast, and work is open
ing up everywhere.
"If the workers of the United
States and Canada continue to sup
port us as they have in the past,
the greatest victory of organized
labor in the history of the Pacific
Coast is assured"
Frank C. Miller, Secretary of the
Bay Cities Metal Trades Council,
reported that no work is being &C
by the incompetent
men employed in the foundries and
shipyards. On the contrary, he
said. immense sums of money are
being wasted as a result of the in
Miller said that 10000 rivets
had to be burned out last month in
the ward Of the Moore Shipbuilding
Company. The cost of re-driving
rivet is three times that of driving
the rivet originally.
The INCOMPETENCE of the non
union men exists not only in the
work on ships, but exists in every
branch of the shipyard and foun-
dry establishments. according to
Miller. So complete is this incom-
potency, Miller said, that only one
ship has been delivered either to
the Shipping Board or to a private
owner since October /, when the
strike began. The lone ship dellV-
cred was a gunboat, which was viz
tually finished at the time of the
strike.
The people of the Bay Cities
have become conscious that a mo-
mentous struggle is taking place in
their midst. The fact that the men
have held out for nearly six months
has made the people realize that
they are fighting for a principle

New York.--Here is a pretty

Note how these different types
of hats bring out different char
acteristies, making her actually
appear different type of girl.
The Millinery Association has us
all wrought up about this idea.
They say il is up to us to wear
the sort OF hats that bring out
our hest points, not only in features
but in our minds and souls.
Perfect Hat for Type
At the right, below, is a perfect
hat for this type of face. 1t is
seldom that a hat combines, as
this does, the long sweep across
the face with so graceful curve.
Then, too, a draped hat, usually
calculated to appear heavy, seldom
is so effectively lightened as this
by the points outlining the brim
and the ostrich fronds that rise
above them.
Just above, is hat entirely un-
suitable, according to the aSsocia-
ton, TO this type of face. The
down turned brim is wrong, espe-
cially when topped by q draped
crown. 1t casts too heavy
shadow, blurring the features in
stead of bringing them out and
produces general top heavy APP
pearance.

nature as the disturbed position of the

Continuance of the process of re-
adjustment in business and industry
has been an outstanding feature of the
last month";" the review said. This
has been accompanied by price re-
auctions and by the resumption of
work in branches Of industry where
hesitation as to future outlook has
led to suspension. After an apparent
slowing down in the price reduction

again reappeared and the month of
September saw substantial cuts in

Drops in prices have featured al
most all of textile lines, agents of the

retailers attitude was depicted as
necessarily conservative for the reas-
on market with a downward trend

a loss or keeping his shelves stocked
with high priced goods.
Similar influences were shown to be
bearing on the shoe and leather in
dustry. In these lines particularly,
the reports of the board disclosed, the
influence of demand lessened by
high prices is strong and gives no
indication of weakening. Because of
this apparent sentiment the review
stated, retailers are postponing buy
ing or are buying only for current re-
quirements.
