Tulsa. Sept. Is.
says Renters should Organize.

Editor World: The attitude you are taking in
regard to the rent profteers is certainly COM
mendable and much good should come from II.
There can be no doubt thGt this is of the
Eravest issues that has confronted the citizen
ship Of Tulsa for long time. The intrusion
OF hi-jackors, burglars and other lawless ele-
ments is OF little moment. when compared with
tho inroads grasping landlords are constantly
making upon the helpless renters Of Tulsa.
And I'm view of present conditions throughout
the country. the principle behind the recent
raises in rent is exactly the same that which
actuates the bandit who takes his toll in open
defiance OF law and order. The only difference
is that the landlord gets his under cover of the
laws protection
You have suggested that II is time the civic
organiza ations of Tulsa take up this question and
try to find on adequate remedy for this ever
increasing menace to the permanent growth
OF Tulsa; and heartily agree with you: but did
It ever occur to you that the larger part OF most
of these organizations is made up from mon OF
the landlord class? This is the principle reason,
| think that nothing worth while has been douo
In the past to effectively curb the cupidity OF
these wolves
| might suggest, perhaps, tsat IL an organza-
ton could be effected among The renters them
selves some really effective measures might be
carried out, for they are the people who really
have the incentive to bring about equita BILE
adjustment of this question:

TIE REASON WHY.

The Employer. an Oklahoma magazine de-
voted to the interests of employers Of labor, in
it's current issue contains the following:
E statement by Samuel Gompera or
. any v,uer national leader of organized labor
rs carried by the big press associations in
Statements by business men are carried
in a few lines
International Typographical Union so far
as hours and wages 60, We've bqen told
the union exercises n sort OF censorship
over the news also, but this In only hoarsay.
As matter OF information we'd like to
know why tho press associations carry so
much labor propaganda ana so little OF the
employers information
The query is not honest because the writer
IN the very nature OF things one familiar with
the handling OF "uews" and newspapers, delib-
eratey leaves ugly and unjust innuondo which
he knows is without warrant IN fact Yet we
purpose attempting an answer, after emphati-
cally stating again that the Typographical
union does not exercise fhe slightest censorship
over the news editorial columns OF any rep-
utable American newspaper.
This is denying that there are members
of that organization who have thought such
censorship should be invokcd-,yho have oven
attempted it, But they failed nmcuiabIy, and
they received no support from their iutcrna-
'ionai officers.
Mr.. Gompers' statements are ncws because
as the head OF a very large class movement the
'sychophantio friend of the administration tho
central figure IN many OF the most Frotcsque
proposals. ever put forward, tho political chief
tain OF a labor olgarchy ne himself as well
as what he says, is news" just villa was
news, Just as Lonine and Trotsky news.
Which is simply another way Of saying that
newspapers do not make the news; they simply
publish it--if they sensible OF their obliga-
ton. But there is another reason. The great
mass of public opinion has much sympathy for
and with the avowed principles OF the trade
unionists--to secure a more just proportion OF
the fruits of industry, better their w'rking con-
ditions and raise their standard of living
This does not mean that public opinion ap-

IGNORING THE LEAGUE.

3 Where tho league is known best It ls trusted
least In America a great political party--or
once great political party--is making tho
league It's principle issue: promising impossible
consequences result OF United states rau
fcaion OF It, But In Europe IL is no longer con-
sidored OF any import whatever ana It's pro-
visions being ignored and flouted almost
every dav.
All tho world now knows how completely the
league failed in tho case OF Serbia and Poland.
There was not even the slightest effort to make
II function In either case, For the fact was too
patent that It was incapable OF funcuonng and
thus, though some forty-two nations had ap-
proved It and 1t had been organized with a
great sounding OF trumpots. It languished Inn
potently while Polahd defiod It for a time then
appealed for Its protection in vain when tho
Just fruits OF her FASH adventure threatened her
national existence.
But the most glaring failure of tho covenant
was demonstrated the other day when an
,nouncemont made that ,here had beon con-
cludcd between Belgium and France an often
sve and defensive treaty. This is the sort OF
thing tho league was gonr to forbid and did
forbid: the ground thai It would no longer
be necessary.
The new Franco Belgian treaty calls for
sither nation TO 40 to the assistance OF the
other when either II involved In war, regard
less Of whether not tho war is one OF offense
or defense. 1t Is n characteristic agreement
OF that "old dscredited diplomacy" concerning
which we once heard so much. and which we
were told open covenants openly arrived at"
had rendered obsolete.
In short It ID the balance of power doctrine
receiving n new "ndorsement The league fools
nobody the other side Of the water. Its
only remaining advocates are west Of the broad
Atlantic.

Income Tax.

John Morrison is this week at
the courthouse assisting the
people in making out their in
come taxes. He will be there no
longer than Saturday afternoon.
Better see him at once and get
his help in making out your re-
turns. Every unmarried person
whose wages or salary amounts
to $1,000 or more a year, must
file an income tax report; and
every married person earning
$1,000 or more must file a report.
Married persons have an ex-
emption of 5000 for each child
under IS.
Neglect this income tax busi-
ness and the government will
surely get you. Better not take
the risk of evading it; it won't
pay. Your Uncle Samuel has a
strong arm and a long memory.
