appointment shall be fixed by law by
the General Assembly.
1t seems better for such an officer
to be appointed the best school men
are not likely to be good politicians
who can pull the wires in a state con-
vention and land the nomination.
Then too. in past years. this nonin
alton has been largely a trading matter
to SECURE or defeat candidates for the
other offices.
However. II is a fact that only four
teen states appoint their state Super
intendents of Public Instruction. The
other 81 elect them by popular vote.
This ends the amendment and the
writer trusts that the voters have paid
some attention to these important mat
ters.

TOBIN RECONSIDERS RESIGNATION,
 CONTINUES AS A. F. |. TREASURER
CANADA TAKING
 CARE OF SOLDIERS

Contrasting sharply with the mig gardly treatment accorded soldiers of the United States is the expenditure of more than $84,ooo,o ,ooo by the Can adian government in establishing re- turned soldiers on the land. This figure represents over 27,ooo lndivldu- al ex-scrvice men who have been benefited from the law which had for it's twin aims soldier re-establlshment and the development of the agrlcul- tural resources of the Dominion.
 Any Canadian ex-service man may secure loans for the following pur- poses: Purchase of land, $4, 4,5oo; stock and equipment, $2,ooo; permanent nm provements, $1,ooo Repayments are to be made over a period of 20 years, at a low rate of interest.
 Soldiers who take to the land are given expert advice and are always III close touch with the agricultural and reconstruction officials, 1t being the policy of the government to accord them every opportunity to make good in the venture.

Despite; Presidents En-
 try Into Fight to Fav- or Wealthy, Congress Doesn't Dare Do So.

Washington Dec. 2.-Despite heroic measures to escape taxation, America war rich have lost their fight to have the surtax. or ertra tax, on large incomes cut in two. The president entered the fight for lower surtaxes, but nearly lUO members of his party refused to follow him.
 In a letter to Congressman Fordney, committee, the chief executive said that while he favored B per cent surtax, he believed 40 per cent would be a fair compromise.
 The present law provides for a 65 per cent surtax. The house changed this to B per cent when it passed the new rev. etlue bill. A countrywide protest, that was especially strong in the west, forced the senate to raise the figures to 50 per cent. When the differences reached the house, that body ignored the president's s letter and accepted the senate's figures by a vote of POI to 173.
 In urging the 50 per cent surtax Congressman Sinnot of Oregon, showed the reason for the propaganda for lower taxes on high incomes. The B per cent surtax of the house, or the so per cent of the Senate, he said, made little differ ences to incomes of $750O0
 But when you get to the man with an income of $lO0,OO0, he said, the saving is $2,73O under the B per cent tax.
 When you get to the man with $l,- 100000 year income he is saving $274,- 73O under this proposition of B per cent.
 "How can you justify such discrimin- ation?" asked the law maker. P There is no material reduction in taxes by the house surtax rates till you reach an income of $1OOOOO per annurn, when the reduction IS $2,73O; for S15O,- GOO incomes the reduction is $12,73O; for $2OO,OOO incomes the reduction is S22,- 73O; from this point on the reduction is startling, being $274,73O for 100000

AZ. OF L. ENDORSES HUGHES PLAN TO
 SCRAP WARSHIPS
Executive Council at Quarterly Meet ing Declares Emphatic
 Support of Labor.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The A. F. of L.
 executive council made the following
 declarations on the armament conference
 at it's quarterly. meeting, held Tn this city ::
 "Resolved, that the magnificent pro-
 posal for the reduction and limitation of
 armament, laid before the international
 conference on limitation of armament by
 the American delegation on behalf of the
 government and the people of the United
 States be indorsed in most emphatic terms
 ond in relation thereto the following be
 adopted as expressive of our convictions
 upon the issues as they stand:
 "The American delegation spoke for
 America in proposing the wholesale de- struction of war ships.
 "The American delegation spoke for America in proposing the absolute ees- sation of warship construction for per iod of 10 years.
 America is unitedly in favor of these proposals.
 America, we believe, is willing and ready to place its full trust in the meth ods of democracy and in the efficiency and integrity of democracy. America, we trust, will continue on the inspiring course laid down at the out set by its delegation, for whom Secretary Hughes was the spokesman and will, on l every point, take the same lofty and ad- vanced position, transcending, if possi- ble, the note which was struck on that | first memorable day.
 We record the position of America $ ! workers, for whom we speak, as being in absolute accord with the utmost degree of disarmament with the utmost effort | to destroy the machinery of war and to
 make unnecessary and impossible the ap- petltes, the jealousies, the rivalries and the intri que that lead to war. And we trust that America will blaze the way even beyond consideration of the arnaments of nations and the rival rles of nations; and will seek to bring them into some permanent accord which will be organic and definite, to the end that there may be made possible those necessary recurring adjustments and ad-
 indications which are vital to permanent harmony between people and nations.'

GERMAN TOILERS TO WAGE WAR AGAINST
 CAPITALISTS PLANS
Specialization of Mines and Heavy Capital Tax Is Answer to
 Stinnes Ultimatum.

Workers of Germany are not to tame iy submit to the demand of Hugo Stln- nes and other captains of industry and kings of finance that the railroads and other government enterprises be turned over to private control as the price ot their assistance in reconstrudtiing the nation.
 The German Federation of Labor has come back with its ultimatum and pro- gram for government which is aimed at capital.
 Among other things demanded by capital, in addition to the surrender of government property, is the abrogation of the eight-hour day for workers. Stin- nes and his crowd also seek control of the levying and expending of taxes, would carry the entire burden of govern ment.
 The answer of labor to this program is contained in a terse and definite de- nation, constituting the most important political element in the nation
 COMPLETE SPECIALIZATION DE-
 HANDED.
 The immediate socialization of the coal mines and the reorganization of the railway servCie so as to make it return profit are the first demands Other de- mands are:
 The strictest possible seizure for gov ernment benefit of foreign exchange re- sulting from export sales limitation of imports to the extreme minimum; stren- gthening of export control to turn value prott from export sales to the public instead of into private pockets; acceler- ated collection of the federal e1nergeniy levy which Is high property tax upon all forms of vested wealth; the i1n1ned- fate collection of existing taxation, in cluding income tax; heavy taxation of profits from speculative dealings, ex- changes and exports strict government control of private owned natural indus trial monopolies.
 The ultlmatum to the government was accompanied by an appeal to the working masses to line> up behind the program and force both the government and capi- tai to, put the burden of raising the nec- essary revenue on the shoulders of those strong enough to bear it, and to provide a source of credit i'll the form of a 25 per cent exportation of capitalization, on which the necessary loans for repara- tions may be raised.
 The program of labor is as different from day These divisions will be the basis of what may be Gerrnany's most irnports ,t struggle.

and $1, ,594,73O for a $5,OOOOOO income.
 "Oh, they tell us that this surplus money, these earnings of the man with a big income like $l,OOO,0OO a year, is being poured into non-taxable securities.
 Did you ever try to find out from the treasury department in the last six months what has been the increase over prior years in the purchase of non-tax- able securities by men having an income of So6,OOO and over? F
 If you have, you have received no in- formation. They have had six months to produce these statistics-six months to go over $12,000 returns. There is a presumption of law-I do not wish to in- yoke it here-that he who suppresses evil dence suppresses it because it is against him. Senators and representatives have written to the treasury department for this information and it has not been forthcoming"

cases. The report holds that present theories of wage fixing are more or less arbitrary and unscientihc, almost entirely based upon profit instead of upon service to society and the contribution of the individual toward that service. The in- vestigation will be continued and its scope broadened to the end that finally a re- port based upon scientific organization of facts may be had.
 It was pointed out i'll the report that the most acute suffering from the arbi- trary imposition of unscientilc wage formulas and theories IS found in indus tries where there is no organization of the workers and where the voice of the employer constitutes final authority from which there is no appeal. This results in an inflated turnover and great waste in industry. The Federation believes that establishment of a scientific wage theory will aid materially in reducing labor turn over and will constitute a tremendously important contribution in the effort to raise the general efficiency of industry everywhere.

Declares He Feels 1t His Duty to Organized Labor Movement Af- ter Executive Board Refuses to Accept It.

Daniel J. Tobin, general president ot the International Brotherhood of Team sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Help CTS. will continue for the term in the office of executive council member and treasurer of the American Federation ot Labor, his resignation, rendered at the council meeting in Atlantic City last August, having been withdrawn after the council for the second time had refused to accept it.
 When the council again met in quar- terly session at Federation headquarters in Washington last week, MT. Tobin was not present on the opening day. His resignation was on the table, where 1t had been placed at the Atlantic City meeting The matter was made the hrst order of business and the council voted unanimously not to accept the resigna- tion and President Gompers wired MT. Tobin, who was then in New York di- recting the milk drivers strike, of the action taken and invited him to come to Washington, which he did, participating in the work of the council for the re- mainder of the session.
 DUTY TO LABOR MOVEMENT.
 "Yes, you can say that 1 have with drawn my resignation and will serve out my term as treasurer and council mem Der of the Federation,- said MT. Tobin &l If tho is no friction in the council at present though of course we can not always agree on questions of policy. As a mat ter of fact, had hoped to devote all my time to my own organization, which keeps me very busy, but l realize that when one IS unanimously elected to perform a duty i'll Federation of Labor conven- tion he owes something to the other labor bodies. After my resignation at Atlantic City l received scores of letters urging me to continue in the office, which have filled since 1ol, and when the council met again in Washington and unani- mously refused to accept my resignation, there was nothing I could do in justice to the labor movement but withdraw my resignation and continue to perform the duties assigned me for the fifth time at the Denver convention of the Feder- ation last June.
 AFTER SCIENTIFIC WAGE PLAN
 Establishment of a proper and scien- tlfc wage theory was one of the most important subjects considered at the council meeting The preliminary re- port of the committee on investigation of wages and wage theories was pre- sented, which showed that existing prac- tices are rapidly breaking down.. For ex- ample, the law of supply and demand has

A Directory of Our
 FRIENDS

In pursuance of the movement which has for it's purpose the urging of all work ing people to give their combined support to reputable concerns that have uniformly shown a friendly attitude toward the cause of Labor, there will here be found a directory of enterprises which we feel can be conscientiously endorsed and which are, therefore, justly entitled to our good will and united cooperation.
 It does not necessarily follow that con- cerns which are not here represented are unfriendly nevertheless those listed on this page have demonstrated their friendliness in various ways and should have our sup port.
 Cooperation is always a two-way matter and it is our duty to cooperate with those who cooperate with us. Consult this directory carefully before making any pur- chases.
