WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Funda-
mental causes of unemployment are
the price which is imposed upon labor
and capital for the privilege of using
land and obtaining the raw materials
of industry therefrom, and the impos-
ing of taxation upon production, ac-
cording to brief which has been sub
mitted to the national unemployment
conference, now in session here, by
the Manufacturers and Merchants
Taxation League. The league has al
so presented each member of congress
a copy of it's brief
Labor and capital both depend
wholly upon land Gncluding materials
produced from or on land) for their
opportunity to produce commodities to
meet human wants." the statement
reads, "and any restriction upon their
access to land inevitably increases
cost of production, diminishes the buy
ing power of the people, and tends to
unemployment
Land values are a dead load upon

of these vast land values, instead OF
going into the public treasury for the
benefit of the people who have created
the land values, has been and is be
ing diverted to the individual profit
of relatively small number of people
in each community. In place of this
natural public revenue to meet the
cost of government, taxation is i'm
posed on labor and capital. This in
creases the cost of production and
thereby curtails consumption, de
creases production and causes unem
ployment."
The league proposes to remedy the
condition it complains of by urging
congress to enact the so-ca1ed Keller
bill relating to land taxation.

Levies on Brokers, Theater
Owners, Circuses, Auto Bus
Lines, Etc.
OPPOSE TREATY HASTE
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept %. = Reten-
tion of the corporation capital stock
tax and repeal of all of the special
taxes, such as those on brokers. pro-
prietors of theatres. circuses, automo-
bile bus lines, shooting galleries and
the like, is proposed in one of a SER
les of amendments to the Republican
tax revision bill offered today by Sen
ator Simmons, of North Carolina, on
behalf of the Democratic members OF
the finance committee.
The bill as reported to the senate
proposed repeal of the corporation
stock tax and retention of the other
taxes.
Democratic senators, meeting in
conference today. agreed to demand
reasonable consideration before voting
on ratification of the treaties with
Germany, Austria and Hungary.
Urges Consideration
Senator Underwood, of Alabama.
Democratic leader announcing the re-
suit of the conference, said this meant
opposition to the Republican proposal
that night sessions be continued with
vote to come whenever no senator
was prepared to speak.
If We cannot have reasonable con-
sideration we have the power and are
prepared to use it to stop the treaty"
said Senator Underwood.
The senate is to continue its debate
en- the new peace treaties with Ger
many, Austria and Hungary, at a ses-
sion tonight, but unless more interest
Is displayed than was the case last
night. when a session was held under a
gentleman's agreement for debate
only Republicans are expected to
press for an early vote.
Only az Present
Only AZ senators answered the roll
call last night at o'clock, half hour
then elapsed before any one took the
floor and after Senator kellogg, Repub
llcan, Minnesota, had spoken in support
OF the treaties for an hour adjournment
was taken without any one else enter
ing the debate.
Action was expected to be speeded
up however, by the Democratic caucus
today, when a final course may be
decided on the treaty question. It has
been indicated that as a result of an
earlier caucus this action will not be
binding as party measure. Many
Democrats it is understood, will oppose
the treaties, as will Senator Borah, OF
Idaho, and possibly a few other Repub
licans.
