WHAT RED LABOR DEMANDS

| Out here IN Kansas Where so great
a preponderance Of the people are
native born and where the over
whelming proportion Of the foreign
born are thoroughly Americanized,
as zealously devoted to American in
stituions as the most loyal citizen.
we really have little idea Of the trea-
sOnable propaganda that is being
spread In the great centers of poDu-
lation by and among the men of
alien birth and sentiment. The city
of New York elected recently to the
office of alderman one Shiplacoff who
Is one Of the leaders in the radical
movement and in an address before
a meeting Of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers Of America he said:
eve are going to move heaven
and earth to educate our people that
they and they alone are the owners
Of industry. The workers OF Russia
have found II out, God bless them!
"If / knew old Sammy Gompers
knew as much as that, would tell
You to 90 and do what the workers
did in Turino. Ten thousand Of them
marched to the factory with music
and n flag, and they opened the doors
and went to work and said, 'TO hell
with the owners Of the factory.
Everybody knows 1t is fair. We
are going to control the industry.
Remember that men to whom
these inccndiary words were address
ed are chiefly Russians, Polacks and
Italians. Few of them either read
or speak English. They have no OPP
portunity to hear any side Of the
political or economic question except
that presented to them by such red
radicals as Shiplacoff. one of the
most extreme Socialists in America.
The union to which these clothing
workers belong is operating under the
Soviet principles. Its main purpose
is frankly to train the workers In
solidarity and prepare them for the
day when they shall have gained
sufficient power to seize industry.
Its leaders are in close touch with
the I. w. w.. the One Big Union
and the radical parties in the coun-
try affiliated with the Third 1nterna-
tionale. The Amalgamated calls
members Of the American Federation
of Labor "scabs." Its strikers In
Boston posted placards, ITO hell with
the United States" It's organ, "The
Advanced steadily breaches Euro
mean radicalism. The unions basic
motive Is little less Bolshevik than
I,eninism. It is saturated with the
Red propaganda.
That is the sort Of work that Is
going on in the industrial centers
and in the foreign sections Of Amer
lea, and we must not shut our eyes
| to the menace Of 1t.

LAY 1T ON THE FARMER


from the promoters of Congressman
Nolan's brilliant idea of raising rev.
enue and regulating the economic
status of the farmer by laying n
special annual Federal tax Of one per
cent on all landholdings Of value of
$4,000 and above.
What an encouragement this would
be to the increased production Of
food and the better care of our lands!
How it would help the farmer to meet
the competition Of industry for labor,
and how 1t would assist and encour-
age him in paying for machinery
that is doubled In cost through labor
that works half as long for twice the
pay the farmer gets
Brilliant idea! It Is astonishing
that it had not occurred to some
statesman CD before. The farmer
has but one turnover year, to be
sure, but let him stand It or leave the
land-as If we already had too many
farmers.
The editorial continues: eve can
not believe that this tax would be
an injustice" Probably not to the
management of the paper. Anyhow,
the question is not of injustice but
Of expediency. Dove want to make
1t still further undesirable to own
land? II so, 60 ahead with this kind
Of legislation. The farmer is not
bolted to the land and ne can leave
1t, as many are already leaving II
for the factory and the town. When
the matter goes a little further, who
will grubstake society, we wonder3
The farmer is the only producer
who has nothing to say about the
price Of his products: and beyond
that is the fact that his capital in
vestment is the largest in proportion
to his turnover Of any known form OF
production. =.
This $4,000 figure would reach
down to the average farm Of 100
acres. This is a two-man farm; and
1t will do well II It produces a gross
annual income Of $4,000, out OF
which must come interest, ordinary
taxes, insurance, upkeep, wear and
tear and the pay Of one hired man
or its equivalent, before the family
living can be assured or any possible
profit anticipated. To lay even 500
extra tax on this man after all other
expenses and regardless Of income
constitutes little less than a Fedora
suggestion to get of the farm and
into the factory or onto the railroad
where men can earn an assured in
come without Investment, risk Of
taxation-rin other words, join thu
exodus from the land.
A little more OF this sort Of thin,
and food will take on meaning II
this country that will be surprise t.
the average citizen. It is high tim
to stop heckling the farmer, who al
ready pays more than his share o
the taxes and does more than hi
share of the hard work Of the world
In matters Of this kind is food 70
reflection by everybody and matte
for action by our agricultural asso
Citations. There is no doubt that add
tional taxes can be gotten out of tn
farmer by the proposed plan Of tax
ing his capital rather than his earn
ings, which are relatively small, bu
the larger question is whether an!
nation can afford to do 1t.

Hughes conferred late yesterday with
President Harding upon the latters
return from Raritan, N. J., where he

nouncement was made concerning the
subject of discussion. 1t is under

issuing proclamation supplement
ing the congressional resolution end
ing the state Of war with Germany
and Austria was considered.
There are indications that before
a decision is reached in. the matter,
the attorney general may be asked
for an opinion as to whether 1t Is
necessary to issue such proclama-
ton to protect the government
against any claim arising out OF the
war, or to terminate wartime legis-
latiOn.
