from business done in foreign coun-
tries. A very plausible reason was Of
fered for this exemption. 1t is said
that it was done to place our own cit
liens on equal footing with citizens
of other countries in developing for
eign trade. But here is what will hap
pen. The railroad officials and their
security holders have taught some of
our captains of industry great les
son. They have been organizing sub
sidiary companies, whose stock is
owned by railroad officials and rail-
road security holders, for the manu-
facture and repair of cars and loco
motives and have been taking this
class of work out of shops owned by
the stockholders of the railroads and
placing it in these subsidiary COM
panies at four and five times what it
cost to do this work in the railroad
shops, and in this way they have been
bleeding the public of millions and
millions of dollars. Failing to bleed
the public of still more millions, they
are coming in here with a bill next
week that will enable them to reach
over into the Treasury and take out
$500, 100000 more.
"Now, what will happen under this
bill? Why, the tanners, the manu-
facturers of farm machinery, the coal
barons, the makers of boots and shoes,
the grain buyers, the Tobacco Trust,
the millers, and dozens of others will
form subsidiary companies to sell
goods in foreign countries and will
not pay cents tax on the millions
they will probably make. They will
pay nothing for the service Uncle
Sam renders them in affording them
the opportunity to make money
abroad"

JOBLESS ON AUCTION BLOCK

A Boston dispatch, dated Sept. g.,
says: Human flesh, in the shape of
jobless and disspirited men, was auc-
toned off today on Boston Common.
And a dog on the same auction
block brought more than any of nine
men who, stripped to the waist, as was
customary when slaves were bartered
for in the days before the Civil War,
were offered for sale.
In one of the strangest and most
dramatic scenes ever witnessed on the
historic Common hungry. shelterless
and jobless men voluntarily offered
themselves for sale in return for a
weeks food and lodging.
A huge throng of curious men AND
women packed themselves around the
auction block-the park bandstand-
and gazed with varying emotions as
the auctioneer recounted the histories
and abilities of the men he was trying
to "sell'.
The auctioneer was Urban J. Le-
doux, who called himself "Mr. Zero"
grand high priest of the "shorn lambs

Missouri, for on this project is CEN
tered the cooperation of the College
of Agriculture, the School Of Sociol-
ogy and the School of Business and
Public Administration.
This new work will be directed by
E. L. Morgan, who comes tc Missouri
from Washington, D. c., where for
two years he has been National Di-
rector of the Rural Service of the
American Red Cross Society. Prior
to that time for seven years he was
extension professor of rural sociology
at the Massachusetts Agricultural
College; and for four years State De-
partment Secretary of the Y. M. c.
A. in Kansas. He is a graduate Of
McKendree College, Methodist
school in Illinois, and has masters
degree from the University of Wis
consin. He was raised on an Illinois
farm, and as a part of his training he
taught country school in winter and
farmed in summer.
In the new work of training rural
leaders for more efficient social SER
vice thus established at the Univer-
sity of Missouri, Mr.. Morgan will
have an extension assistant in the per-
son of Owen Howclls, a veteran of the
World War, who has just completed
two years of training at the New
York School of Social Work. 1t will
be Mr.. Howell's work to serve the ru-
raj communities directly by assisting
them to organize all local social forces
for the general improvement of agri-
culture, education, health and recrea-
ton. He will begin his work in
Boone county and the communities
Immediately adjacent.

SmOOt VS., Harding

The main point of the Presidents
letter is the claim that his admins
tration is reducing expenses and that
next year he believes taxation NAV be
reduced to $780, 100000.
Five days before the Presidents
letter was written, Senator Reed
Smoot (Rep., Utah. one of the recog-
nized financial authorities of the Re-
publican Senate, made a speech at the
Rotary Club in Washington reported
in part in the public press, as follows.
Senator Smoot told how he pre-
dicted in 1918 that the expenses of the
Government would never be less than
$4,000, 100000 and stressed how the
Treasury Department denied this
statement n the time.
az tell you now, said the Senator,
that within seven years from now
the taxes Of this country will be $5,-
100000, OO0'."

pose given at the time for this was to
enable the minority party two-ffths
control instead Of one-third as under
the old bill ain order that the board
may become as nearly non-partisan
as possible"
After considerable delay and OBJ
lection from members of the Govern
or's own party the bill was passed and
five members Of the board were nam
ed to manage the affairs Of the insti-
tuition, but their management has been
in name only. Members of the Board
have received their orders from the
Governor and have performed like so
many trained pups.
The most recent performance comes
forth in the resignation of Deputy
Warden Porter Calvin, who has been
connected with the prison for the past
thirty years and has made most en-
viable record in prison management.
Rumors have it that the resignation
of Captain Gilvin is a result of de-
mand made on the board by Governor
Hyde Monday. 1t is said that the
Governor demanded that Gilvin be
discharged by the board and that in
the event he did not at least one and
possibly two members of the board
might be asked to resign.
Such performance leads one to be-
lieve that not only increasing the
membership, but that the Prison
Board is a needless expense so long as
Governor Hyde desires to look after
the management of the institution.
Why not abolish the board and return
to the. system of letting the warden
manage the prison affairs? Should
this be done the state would save the
salary of four members of the board.
1t, might also save in another way for
the Governor would be forced to stick
around and look after matters instead
of galvanting around at the expense
of the state.
So long as Gov. Hyde is going to
personally look after making the
prison a place to furnish jobs for po-
litical purposes we ask: Why Pris-
on Board State Journal.

TO ADVERTISE ADVANTAGES
OR S. E. MISSOURI

Every piece of mail that goes out
from Southeast Missouri will bear a
message calling attention to the ex-
hibit in Union Station, according to
plans approved by the executive COM
mittee of the Southeast Missouri Ag-
ricultural Bureau at its last meeting.
It is proposed to furnish al job print
ers in Southeast Missouri with an
! electro bearing this message, which
will be placed on the back or front of
envelopes on customers orders. Rub
, Der stamps bearing the same mes
sage will be furnished concerns with
large mailing list which agree to
use them on all second-class and other
mail.
The exhibit has now been open for
about seven weeks and in that time it
has been visited by more than 10000
persons. There is remarkable even
ness in the number of daily visitors
and in those who sign cards showing
special interest. Several hundred of
these cards have already been secured,
forming the basis for a mailing and
follow-up list of large proportions. In
addition, there are many authentic
cases where prospective home seek
ers have been induced to visit the
eight counties of Southeast Missouri
by those in charge of the bureau ex-
hibit.
at is only a question Of time,7 he
said, until the missionary work nov;
being done will bear substantial re-
suits. We are convinced that the per-
manent exhibit is worth more than all
the state and district fairs put to-
gether, so far as arousing permanent
interest is concerned. We have OBJ
tanned more good prospects in day
through the Union Station exhibit
than we were able to secure in a
week from either the Missouri or Ill
inois state fairs. People who visit
this exhibit come in with their minds
open to receive an impression and with
no counter attractions. Furthermore,
we expect the steady stream of Wis
itors to keep up, and inquiries by mail
will become more numerous as we go
along, especially after we get our
publicity in sections of Illinois, Iowa
and other states going. This all
takes time, but when we consider what
has been accomplished in a little over
a month, we feel greatly encouraged.
One thing is certain, and that is we
have here one of the biggest ideas ey-
er started in this part of the country,
and if business conditions continue TO
pick up as they have been doing re-
Gently, and we can keep up the pace
we are now going, it will be a Won

TO. AID COMMUNITY WORK

Two notable additions have just
been made to the staff of the Missou-
ri College of Agriculture, and their
benefits will be felt by all actual and
prospective community leaders whose
purpose is to make farm life more at
tractive and satisfactory. In the de-
partment of rural life, of which o. R.
Johnson is chairman, two skilled work
ers in social service have been ap-
pointed and theirs will be a notable
part in the work of the University of

veterans.

veterans.
jim Ferris, 20-year-old overseas
veteran, was the first "slave" to go on
the block. A murmur swept through
the crowd as "Mr. Zero" ordered him
to strip to the waist. He was turned
around slowly and posed in every po-
sition to STORY the play of his splen-
did muscles.
"You used this in the war; what
will you do with it now? What price
am | offered for this CAM" Ledoux
shouted to the crowd.
But the crowd was silent.
"Shall it go starving now that sou
have no further use for it," tainted
the auctioneer.
And still there was no bid.
"Get down." he ordered Ferris,
"They won't have you; perhaps they'll
take your dog"
Bidding went up to $40 for "Ser-
geant", Ferris frightened little fox
terrier which had served with him
through the war, but when the time
came to pay the $40 the bidder could
not be found. 1t appeared that SIS was
the highest real bid. The bidder gave
Ferris SIS and told him to keep the dog.
Only two of the nine men were TAX
en- and assured Of a place to eat and
sleep regularly-for a week, at least.
They were Joe Mitchell, a 39-year-old
negro from the Virgin Islands, who
said he had been out of work six
months and averaged two meals
week, and Willie Davis. a homeless 49,
year-old boy "from tie farm"
The remaining seven, and many
more like them, Ledoux said tonight,
still are "for SALE.

derful success. In the opinion of
good judges with whom have talked,
the movement of home-seekers, which
has been held back for different caus-
es is likely to start any time now, and
when it does start Southeast Missouri
will be in position to get her share"
A feature in connection with the
exhibit which is being worked out by
the publicity department is a series
of demonstration talks by Secretary
Foard for the benefit of the school
children of st. Louis and st. Louis
county and neighboring cities III Hi
nois. Teachers of nature study and
agriculture will be invited to bring
their pupils to the exhibit at hours
when the outside crowds are smallest,
and Mr.. Foard will deliver a short lee
ture, illustrated by means of the TX
hibit. In this way the wonderful, soil,
climate and other advantages OF
Southeast Missouri will be impressed
upon the youngsters, and through
them upon their parents.
A systematic campaign has been
started the past week to interest the
nonresident land owners of Southeast
Missouri in the exhibit. About 1000
of these people, who own land in
Southeast Missouri. but live elsewh re,
have been solicited to join the bureau
and help make it big success. In the
letter to nonresident land owners,
sent out by Director of Publicity Led
better, the statement is made that
"the resident land owners and business
men of Southeast Missouri have
shown their faith by their works 1t
is now up to the nonresident Ian.
owners to join the bureau and help
put the big punch in the enterprise"
All visitors to the exhibit, which in
cludes big business men and bankers
from all parts of the country, as well
as farmers, unite in saying it is one of
the best displays of the kind they
have ever seen. President w. Frank
Carter of the St. Louis Chamber of
Commerce, who had not had an op-
portunity to see the exhibit before,
dropped in one night last week and
expressed himself as more delighted
with what he saw. He said St. Louis
business ben did not fully appreciate
the wonderful possibilities of South
east Missouri as a trade territory and
he thought this exhibit would result
in directing their attention to it and
arousing their interest.
The management of tie bureau is
working on several excursions from
points in Illinois and expects to have
important announcements to make in
this connection in the near future. The
st. Louis Chamber of Commerce is
planning big excursion to Southeast
Missouri the latter part of this month
or the first of October.

HOODWINKING THE GERMANS

Administration newspapers in the
Middle West, either by accident or de-
sign, have failed to call attention to
certain significant provisions in the
new treaty with Germany. The sig
niticance rests in the acceptance by
the United States, in formal way, of
the view of the allies respecting the
responsibility of Germany for the war,
and also accepting the stipulations of
the Versailles Treaty providing for
fifteen years occupation of the Rhine
land, with continued occupation if
certain guarantees are not made. In
view of the persistent and open way
in which Republican newspaper
spokesman of the national ticket last
year and Republican politicians gene
rally appealed to citizens of German
origin for support upon the ground
that Republican control of the Gov
eminent would be to Gerrlany's inter.
ests, and relieve the severe terms put
upon tie Germans by the Treaty OF
Peace, these new treaty provisions
are Illuminating. The deception prac-
ticed upon the Germans by Republi-
can candidates and managers is now
revealed.
There is no difference, as there
could be no difference from the stand
point of patriotic duty. between the
Harding administration and Wilson's
concerning Germany.
The Hughes German treaty not on
~ re-enacts the Treaty of Versailles
on the subject of Preparations and in
IDENTITIES. but proclaims Germany's
responsibility for the war, her obliga-
ton to repair all damages and the
gictor's rights to compel her to do so.
The Pan-Germans, encouraged by Re-
publican propaganda. had boldly an
nounced that this would not happen.
buI LliC AluBliSS tiNdty ltsbiiiSS al ~
Giles 231 Of the Versailles Treaty,
which reads as follows:
"The allied and associated govern
ments affirm and Germany accepts
the responsibility Of Germany and her
Allies for causing all the loss and
damage to which the allied and asso-
ciated governments and their nation
ais have been subjected as a conse-
quence Of the war imposed upon them
by the aggression of Germany and her
Allies"
Herein rests the expression Of the
great issue of the war, and the Hughes
regime in our foreign relations has
no view different from that held by
Mr.. Wilson and his coadjutors in d.
promacy. The Republican demogogu-
cry, fed out for the benefit of the dis
affected German in the United States
