The president of the United States
has just appointed an advertising man
to head the shipping board of the
country. I can remember when this
man was only an extraordinary hustler
in the business he now owns. Presi-
dent Harding said he wanted a man
who could get things done. He said
that he didn't have to be an expert
man at building boats or ships to fill
this task The president showed great
wisdom IN this appointment. A. D.
Lasker will make good.
Big men are all the time coming
to the top-just like cream!
Worth is a great commodity. It is
the oxygen of high achievement. And
if you would rise, you must breathe it
at every breath.

Prof. F. R. Fairchild of Yale uni
versity says: I'm my opinion the sales
tax is advocated by those who would
like to see the burden of taxation
shifted from incomes back to con-
sumption. which was the situation that
existed from the Civil war down to
1918" But are not the conditions
which prevailed before 1918 what the
whole country has been clamoring
for? And has there ever been a time
when the burden of taxation was not
borne by consumption

Congressman Keller of Minnesota
has introduced four amendments to
the present revenue laws. One of the
amendments distinguishes between
earned and unearned incomes, the
present tax on the latter being re-
tanned, but that on the former being
cut in half. Mr.. Keller also proposes
a graduated tax on inheritances, run
ming from 1 per cent on estates from
100000 to $4,000 to 80 per cent on
estates over s1Oo.OOO,OoO Another of
his amendments proposes a tax of 1
per cent on land values in excess of
$4,000 after exempting improve
ments. Whatever may be thought of
his other amendments there can
scarcely be two opinions regarding the
justice of distinguishing between
earned and unearned incomes. It Is
proper that a man should be taxed
on what his money earns but ne
should not be called to pay on his in
come derived from personal labor.

Newark, N. New Jersey citi-
zens have discovered that Judicial
usurpation" is reality, and not a
supposed figure of speech used by
agitators.
Federal District Judge RelIstab is
responsible for the awakening. He
has raised car fares to cents with
2-cent transfer privilege.
The state public utility commission
refused to increase rates after an ex-
haustive examination and hearings on
the subject. The company appealed
to Judge Rellstab that their property
was being confiscated. The court held
that this was violation of the Unit
ed States constitution, and without
hearings, granted the companys re-
quest.
Judge Reilstab's decision has ex-
cited everyone but trade unionists,
who ask: What do you expect, when
you fail to protest when these courts
annuI guarantees against workers."
l.. j Russell, editor of the Newark
Morning Ledger, in a signed state
ment, declares that Judge Rellstab
Should be impeached and removed
from office in order that the public
at large may not come to feel that
too many of our courts are filled
with servile puppets only too ready
to serve special interests"
No trade unionist ever uttered a
more bitter attack on courts which
are declared to "have ceased to be
institutions that are impersonal and
sacred in their nature.
''It is the height of ridiculous alb
surdity to expect people who know
the source and the pedigree and the
calibre of so many of our judges to
have the slightest respect for them
or confidence in them or their rulings
and decisions when the issue involved
is that of utility corporation or a
special privilege group that knows
exactly what it wants and how to get
it.
Such danger as confronts our in
stitutions today in this republic be-
gins and ends with the arbitrary abuse
of judicial power multiplying all laws in
a fragrant disregard of public right
in order to serve private rights and
special privileges.
Our institutions are in a thousand
fold greater danger from Bergen

LOWER COSTS; MORE
PROFIT
- p Ea

Washington. - In discussing the
construction of 10 passenger ships
by the United States shipping board,
Congressman Madden, chairman of
the house appropriations committee,
made this interesting statement:
with the lowering of wages and
the lowering of material costs,
thought and your subcommittee
thought that the government ought
to save money in the construction of
these ships, and we inquired as to
whether or not the government was
to get the credit for any reduced cost
of material or any reduction in wages.
And the reply came that the govern
ment divided the saving with the con-
tractor. We believe this is not good
business, but it is bad business. 1t
can not be remedied during this con-
struction period, when these contracts
exist They will be finished by April

nature of his employer to the effect
that he was steadily employed as an
agricultural laborer, with deportation
as the alternative for the lack of such
signed declaration.
A. F. of L. representatives, closely
watching all sessions of the immigra-
tion committee, protested that this
provision in itself meant absolute
bondage"
4, Following these hearings Chairman
Johnson, of the house immigration
committee, offered for consideration
tentative substitute resolution, which
he said had been prepared by Judge
Irwin. Labor's representatives, after
studying this proposed substitute for
H. j. R. I'll, declare that it carefully
preserves all of the Objectionable fea-
lures of the now discredited Resolu-
tion No. Ill.
The resolution provides that there
shall be no restriction of movement
! on the part of imported coolies except
"within the class or classes of labor
as to which the emergency has been
found to exist"
But above all, it is pointed out by
the labor representatives, the resolu
tion still opens the door for the impor-
tation of Chinese coolies, and that is
regarded as the basic issue in the
whole controversy.
In effect, it is pointed out, what the
sugar representatives now propose is
peonage covered with deceptive Ian
guage and the destruction of the Chi
nese exclusion act exactly as provided
for in the original resolution, which,
it is emphasized by labor, is still be-

have been beaten to a degree suffi-
cient to secure from them the admis-
sion that H. ]. resolution III, their
own resolution, would establish peon-
age.
This admission came in the form of
suggestions from the commission
sent here by the Hawaiian territorial
government for substitute resolu-
tion
Appearing before the house immi-
grafton committee, Harry Irwin, coun-
sci for the Hawaiian commission,
pleaded to have the present resolution
so amended as to prohibit peonage.
His suggestion was that provision be
made that Chinese coolies, when ad-
mitted, be admitted with the proviso
that they be confined to agricultural
work, with deportation as the alter
native.
In answer to questions from men,
bers of the committee, Judge Irwin
suggested that Chinese register at
the time of admission and be required
to re-register at specified times.
He admitted that the adoption of
Resolution III would repeal all pres
ent immigration laws as far as these
applied to Hawaii, including the Chi
nese exclusion act and the contract
labor exclusion act. He frankly ad-
mitted that the term otherwise mad
missible" as used in the resolution
means Chinese coolies.
He stated that in past experiences
with that class of labor he found that
the Chinese government required the
knowledge of the conditions under
which it's nationals are to be employ
ed before consent is given for their
emigration. Congressman Raker, of
the committee, said that such know
ledge on the part of q foreign govern
ment indicated not only a contract
with the employers that limited free
dom of action of the workers, but also

employers and foreign government
