The landlord can not be
reached by deflation, unless
of course, defiation is carried
to the point where nearly
everybody is ruined. The land,
lord has his feet on the ground
and a fence built around his
feet. Those who own the
earth's surface and rent it to
others or hold it out of use for
huge, speculative profits, pos
sess a monopoly. The earth's
surface is a fixed quantity it
neither increases nor decreases.
The owners may and do charge

The Cause High Prices Reduced Markets for Farm Products Explained

only is added to the price of goods as one of
the items of cost, but it also enters into the
power to purchase on the part of those who buy
and consume the products of the farm. The
city landlords can not eat the products of the
American farm. These farm products con-
sumed in the main by the working class. The
first item of cost which the working man and
his family must pay is rent. After the rent
bill is paid, the worker and his family may be-
gin to buy food and clothing. All the econ
omies which the working mans family prac-
tices must begin after the landlord has taken
his toll It is true that the landlord has to pay
more for the upkeep of his property than in
1914. So that 800 per cent increase is not all
profit, but very large part Of it is pure profit
and profteering.
How may we defate the landlord? The Federal
Reserve board has not touched him. Public opinion
has not moved his stony heart. Legislatures seem
unable to deal with him by law. ..-@
And yet there is certain and sure way to get
at the landlord The people possess one sovereign
power which, if rightly used, will debate the land
lord and keep him Debated. This is the power Of
taxation. -,.-a '~
LANDLORD NOW HAS BEST y
OF ALL OTHER CLASSES
But how shall the power Of taxation?
When you tax business, the business man simply
adds the tax to the cost of doing business. If you
tax the landlords buildings, will he not add the tax
to the price of rent? The answer is, he will. BUT
IF YOU TAKE THE TAX OFF THE BUILDINGS
AND PUT THE TAX ON LAND VALUES, THEN
THE LANDLORD CAN NOT ADD THE TAX TO
THE RENT. Moreover, the effect of such tax
will be to REDUCE the price of rent.
II This is true for two reasons: -. .. .
(1) By taxing land values, the tax will fall on
idle lots and subdivisions just heavily as on those
lots which buildings stand The effect of such
taxation will be to reduce Immediately the selling
price of the idle lots An idle lot produces nothing
and it buys nothing Tax the idle lot Tax it hard
enough and the owner will either erect building
on that lot or dispose Of it to someone else who
WILL erect building.
(2) By removing the taxes from buildings, the

The real profiteer, the most
merciless profteer today is
the landlord. The Federal Re-
serve board through it's cur
tailment Of money and credit
has Debated everything and
everybody except interest and
rent-the usurer and the land
lord. The Reserve board did
not want to defate the interest
taker (its own business). And
it COULD not def1ate the land
lord. By landlord I mean, not
the owner Of land who himself
uses it and makes it produce,
like the farmer, but the holder
of land who rents it or holds it
for a speculative, unearned
value.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
sisters; one of fourteen and one of
eighteen We do not use any cos
metics and we comb our hair simply
and dress simply We are fair-looking
and neat in shape.
We have never been out with fell
lows, and don't seem 10 know what
makes us so attractive. Some of the
most decent fellows have come to us
and asked if we would marry them.
We are big for our ages. There are
ten in our family and we know how
to keep house just like grown women.
We are more indoor girls. The
thing we would like to know more
than anything else is why there are
SO many prettier girls than we and
yet we are liked more. We are friend
ly to everyone who comes up and
speaks to us. A policeman has asked
one of us to marry him. Do you think
we are liked by men because we are
decent?
TWO HAPPY HEARTS.
Some people are born with charm
| while others have to cultivate it.
Probably you have a pleasing person
ality which makes friends for you.
Do not, however, spoil yourselves by
letting conceit make you over-confi-
dent Be just as decent" as you can
and trust that when you are old
enough the right man will admire you
for your goodness.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am young
man % years old and am in love with
a girl of 20. We love each other
dearly and want to get married, but
| the only thing that stands between us
| is our religion. She goes to one kind
| of church and | go to another. We
! both like our religion, but our parents
| do not want either of us to give up
! for the other
| Do you think we could be happy if
we married and kept our own re-
! ligion, or do you think l ought to
turn to the girls religion?
Please give me your advice, for
We love each other dearly and do
not want to break up.
WAITING.
| Such a decision should not be has
| tened. If I were you l would wait a
year before promising anything in re-
gard to religion. If you are as devot-
ed to each other at the end of that
| time as you are now, l would advise
, marriage with the understanding that
each is to keep his own religion. OF
course there is the problem of bring
! ing up the children. The mother us
ually feels that it is her right to take
them into her religion. You must
| love your wife enough to be willing
| that she should do so. / am very firm
| in my belief that a man should not
marry until he is 25. He is not de-
| veloped before then and does not
know his mature likes.

COOPERATIVE GLOVE
FACTORY IN CHICAGO
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
cry Associated Pressl


CHICAGO, Jan. "a Chicago's Co
operative glove factory, the only one
OF its kind in the country, has proved
complete success, according to oni-
Gals of the Glove Workers Union.
Not only is the factory turning out
gloves but they find ready market,
says Miss Agnes Nestor. president OF
the union. The output is also sold by
a cooperative system of stores, mostly
located in mining communities of
southern Illinois and Pennsylvania
Our factory is busy all the time"
Miss Nestor said, land we have no
difficulty in getting rid of our output.
We dispose Of our goods through the
Central Cooperative Store, which in
turn reaches the numerous small
branch stores around the country"
No Statesmen Employed.
TN this way it is not necessary for
US to employ statesmen. The coopera-
tive stores are controlled by the work
ers of the community and they have
expressed willingness to help US.
Thus our output goes practically from
factory to consumer, with the middle
man eliminated"
At the present time, only leather
gfoves, such as used by working men,
are being made. 1t is the intention,
Miss Nestor said, to make gloves from
other materials later.
Started as Experiment.
The glove plant, which was estab-
lished November 20, 1920, now ell

merely as an experiment in the coop

WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE

Judging flom the letters that | get
on the subject, one thing which trou-
bles my correspondents a great deal is
that part of the back of the neck which
they cannot see except with the aid of
hand mirror. The usual complaint
is that the skin of the neck is brown
and rough looking.
Many people are apt to neglect the
back of the neck simply because they
do not see it. The complexion of the
face is there for criticism every time
they look into a mirror, which is sew
aral times day, but the back of the
neck and the back of the shoulders
are rarely seen.
The first bit of advice is-never wear
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-01-24

anything against the neck except
fresh white. The dye of colored ma
terials will be rubbed into the neck by
the pressure of the coat collar and the
dust and dirt which collects on all ma
terial will be rubbed into the skin in
the same manner. It is always pos
sible to wear a white, or at least a
light colored collar which can be taken
out and Numbered whenever it is
soiled.
You must always remember that the
neck needs a cleansing cream quite as
often as the face. 1t is quite easy to
rub cream into the neck when you are
massiging the face. This cold cream
