the removal by the court of Mayor
Robinson in St. Cloud for his failure
to enforce the liquor laws. The pro-
Ceedings in that case were started by
the attorney general The liquor law
gave the court the right to remove
any public official who failed or re-
fused to enforce the law.
This is a much different case The
Duluth city charter has recall Pc
tition which. the St. Cloud charter
did not have then. The power to
1emove a public official in Duluth
is wholly with the people under the
recall. The governor, the attorney
general or the courts do not possess
such power, save only when an
elected official of the city shall have
been convicted of a crime.
If the enemies of Mr.. Murnian
want to really get him their chance
is in the recall and in that alone.
It is the only honest and fair way
to settle the whole matter, and if
it is invoked we promise them the
fight of their lives.

THIS WAR BABY
War Protiteers Make $751;
600 On An Investment Of
$1,100;; Try to Dodge Tax.

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-1n a
suit by the Traylor Engineering and
Manufacturing company of Allen
town to recover $4,000 war taxes it
vas shown that two men were paid
$1,137,000 on an investment Of $1,1OO.
Papers filed in the suit showed
that early in the world war Samuel
E. Traylor saw the opportunity for
making money out Of foreign shell
contracts. He got $500 from Henry
E. Trexler Of Allentown and $500
from James Phillips, Jr., of New
York. to pay the expenses of a trip
abroad. When payments on the re-
sultant contracts were completed he
paid Trexler $65O,000 and Phillips
s4S7.000. The only other contribu-
ton Of the two men was the use of
their names and financial prestige in
negotiating for the contract. Trexler
later got permission from Charles E.
Schwab for the Traylor company to
use the proving grounds Of the Beth
lehem Steel company to test the
shells.
The company had paid $110,243'
munition taxes to the government and
later asked for a return Of $4,000
CIR the ground that this amount was
the tax on the money paid to Trek
Ter and Phillips, and that the Trek
ler-Phfllips account was part of the
company's Operating expenses"
In deciding against the company
Federal Judge Dickinson held that it.
is not in the meaning of the tax law
for a corporation to pay out of it's
profits $1,000 for every dollar put into
a venture, nor is it intended that a
corporation pay a person $1,000,000
for going on it's surety bond and by
this method reduce the amount right
fully due the government.

President Of American Fedora.
ton Of Labor Says They
Have Much in Common,

WASHINGTON, July 16.-"OrEan-
lied labor extends it's fraternal hand
to the farmers of our country in the
effort to protect all the wealth pro-
ducers and to make common cause
for Justice to BOTH" writes President
Gompers in American Federationist,
current issue.
'"Those who till the soil of our coun-
try and those who perform the work
in the industries Of our country have
50 much in common that their pro-
gram and their course OF action must
of necessity, have much in common:
The paramount needs Of the farmer
and the city wage Garner are identi-
cal. The great concern Of every pro-
Queer of wealth is to receive in re-
turn for his labor an adequate re-
ward. The true measure OF the re-
ward received is in the purchasing
power of that reward. II, through
unfair exploitation, such as we are
witnessing on every hand today, the
farmers and the workers are deprived
of a just reward for their endeavor,
a grievance is created. The workers
of America on the farm and in the
city have such grievance today.
''ThQse who seek to exploit both
the wage worker of the city and the
farmer naturally seek to make it ap.
pear that there are differences Of
principle in order to create suspicion
and antagonism between the farmers
and the city workers. In every case
where this is done the point over
which it is sought to make an issue
is either a point Of minor Importance
or question Of Interpretation.
What the enemies of labor hope
for and what the enemies Of the
farmer hope is that labor and the
farmers will disagree among them
selves and because Of disagreement
weaken their struggle and make it
ineffective.''
President Gompers points out that
the right Of labor to cease giving
service-to strike-because Of unsat-
isfactory conditions, is no more i'm
portant to labor than it is to the
farmers. Attention is called to strikes
Of farmers where conditions have
been unsatisfactory.
I'm this practice" says President
Gompers;S "the farmers in the case
Of the crop for the present year were
advised by. the United States depart
nlef1t of agriculture to decrease their
acreage of. wheat in order that. the
reward for effort expended might not
fall below what was deemed a proper
return"

In response to appeals for financial
