DID DANTEH0LD
CARD IN union
Italian Poet Of IS Century Said
to Have Been Strong
Labor Man

The following article appeared in
the Literary Digest recently. showing
that union labor is not at all a new
things but was frosered by some Of the
really great men in history:
Dante held union card. it Aow
appears, in the Apothecaries' union. of
Florence, and devoted much of his
energies to fighting labor's battles
against the aristocrats. 50 that |.'ile
Dante's sixth centenary is hailed in
all modern languages by elogists of
Italy's epic poet, who is ranked with
Homer and with Shakespeare among
the supreme figures of the worlds
'itera ture, in some European countries
they are also mindful of Dante's po.iti-
cal influence on his time and of wnat
one Italian commentator calls the
modern characteristics of Dan.e's
political ideas.
Some English writer's recall that
Mr.. Gladstone counted Dante among
the great leaders of his intellectual
life, and the cite Viscount Morley's S
dictium that it were an idle dream to
think that the dead hand Of Dante's
century and all that it represented is
no longer to be taken into account by
those who would be governors of men,
AT a notable celebration in honor
of the immortal F'lorentine held in The
Sorbonne an Italian senator and for
mer minister Of public instruction.
Mr.. Francisco Ruffini. delivered an
address on Dante and politics, in
which he declared that politics is the
pivot, if one may say so, Of the whole
poetic machine of Dante.
Coming now to his labor union ac-
tivities, Senator Ruffini sees Dante
the patriot standing between the syn
dlcalism Cor labor unionism) and the
League of Nations of his period, and in
defense of this rather astonishing cal=
lication of phrases he points out chat
the Florence Of Dante was a profess
slonal republic under the regime of
arts and trades, a veritable organ:za-
ton of syndicates."

situation, DR.. Elliot said, is concealed
representation. He sees not TAR dis
tant a new era in democratic rep
resentation where. each "functioning
group" in society will openly be rep
resented in government.
III the real estate mans interests
are to be represented, it shall not be
under cover" he declared. "Once we
have more thorough-going repre-
sentation OF labor. teachers. lawyers,
employers, then let them fight it ou:
that is" he explained, "co-operate,
each insisting on the other fellows
full cooperation"
For Teachers Program.
Immediate action toward legisla-
tive program was promised today by
Phillip e. Carlson, newly elected
president Of the Minnesota Education
association. He will call the asso-
ciation's legislative committee into
conferences within hte next two weeks

clares, to call a special session of rep
resentatives Of the $4,000 teachers Of

don meat market is Quilted, accord

agriculture, from the American agri-
cultural commissioner at London.

COMES UP AGAIN
Advocates Promise to Revive
IT.. Opposition Say It viii
Be Costly Venture.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The SEN
ate rejected Senator Shoots sales
tax BILL The first proposal was a
per cent sales tax This was defeat.
ed by a vote of 43 to 25. The next
day Senator smoot proposed that the
tax be one-half Of per cent, but this
met the same fate by 46-to-25 vote.
Advocates of5.the plan intimated that
il will appear again when the SOL
diers bonus is being considered.
The sales tax was subjected to a
heavy bombardment and its friends
were clearly: on the defensive. OPP
ponents qioted treasury experts, who
have figured that the tax will bring
to the treasury but $250.00o 200. The
opponents Sdeclared that business men
belief that it will result in the SUBJ
stantial reduction of income and corr
poration taxes but it is clear that
nothing of that kind will happen.
Senator Smoot denied that he ever
stated that other taxes would be re-
duced if the sales tax is adopted.
The claim that the sales tax will
simplify tax collections was shat
tered. Instead, the system would call
for a vast army Of government agents,
who would be compelled to watch
every business man because Of the
intricacies of the plan.
One OF these intricacies Is shown
in the provision that manufacturers
must make returns on what has been
sold for. use or consumption. "How
can a manufacturer who sells to
broker or a. manufacturer comply
with this section," asked the sales
tax opponents. "What do you do
with an industry, for instance, like
blast furnace. where you have by
product ovens that produce compara-
lively finished products, such as to!-
uol, ,coal-tar products, and Stag, as
we'll as pig iron?'
Agents Of the government would
have to watch these products to as
certain If they were to be used in
other manufactures or as they came
from the blast furnace.
Numerous instances Of this char
acter were cited and resulted in a
complete ENHANCEMENT of the sales
tax advocates who have insisted that
their plan will simplify tax collec-
tions.''

TEACHERS SHOULD Be NEUTRAL IN

Not only the right but the duty to

Organization. not only to secure
rights through legislatures, but to

These two obligations Of teacher.
OF. Minneapolis and Minnesota were
stressed by DR.. John Lovejoy Elliot
to membmers Of local '159, Minneap-
oils Federation OF Teachers, in a.
frank talk on social conflict, before
his leaving for New York yesterday.
DR.. Elliot is director of Hudson Guild
Settlement, and was a principal speak
er at the sessions of the Minnesota
Education association which closed
Saturday.
"A teacher cannot function prop
erly without adequate salary and con-
genial working conditions. Teachers
cannot best effect these conditions
without representation on boards.

clared.
No Fear for "Dignity."
II do not fear for the dignity of
the teaching profession in: afriliation

North Dakota Recall Is Reviewed

WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-Accord-
ing to northwest newspapers receiv-
ed at A. F. OF L. hea dquarters, rep
'resenting both sides in the recen:
North Dakota recall. a summary Of
this election could safely be: Men
were defeated, measures are not.
The recall was a non-partisan drive
against the Non-Partisan league. The
Independent Voters association was
a combination Of old parties, and IA
and two associate officials and also
favored the annuln>ent of several laws
passed by the Non-Partisan league
legislature. The INDEPENDENT Voters
association also asked the electors to
approve seven laws which they favor
ID.
Governor Frazier and his associ-
ates were recalled by approximate
ly 5000 votes, but the laws they ia
vor will stand. The seven proposals
initiated by tho Independent Voters
association were rejected, with one ex-
.ception. The Independents now find
themselves in the curious position Of
being elected on platform to an
nul certain laws, while the people
that elected them sustain the laws.
Despite this contradiction, the in
dependents say they will carry out
their platform, as they were elect
ed on the board declaration of op-
position to the Non-Partisan league
and they will make their opposition
effective by administration pro-
cesses.''
The victors do not appear jubilant
| over the election, however: The Far
go Forum, spokesman for the Inde-
pendent Voters association, makes
this comment on the election: Con

One Plan Is to Buy: Goa! Prop
critics. Intended to Lie Idle
for Many Years.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-1n a dis
cussion on the revenue, bill in the
senate, the devious methods used to
evade payment of the income tax
were shown.
One method is to buy coal proper
ties intended to- lie idle for years,
give notes for nearly all Of the pur-
chase price and then deduct:the In
terest on the notes from NE income.
Testimony before the. senate fl
nance committee showed that men
having an income of $300;OOO and
100000 a year divide up. their: pro-
perty with their family, thereby re-
ducing the income and cutting down
the higher percentage. ~:~
There are dozens Of plans" said
one treasury official. 1T is shown
and proved in the result in the de-
partment where you see ;. that the
number Of higher surtax people are
dropping down and. the revenue is

Trajectory mandates from the voters
are not going to make the task of the
new administration any easier"
The newspapers of st. Paul (Minn. }
which, have taken a lively interest in
the election because of milling rail-
road interests warn the Independent
Voters association not to be too con-
fident that the farmers Of North Da-
kota have changed their economic
views even though they have re-
called three officials by a small vote.
In an interview in the New York
Times, Governor PreuS of Minnesota,
says: 1.-The first round has been
fought and the Non-Partsian league
has lost. But the fight is not ended.
The knockont is still ahead
As against these views the North
Dakota Labor Leader. published at
Grand Forks, and favorable to the
~Non-Partisan league, says:
THE result Of - the Nort!, Dakota
election means that while for various
reasons the people Of this state have
retired three of its officers. they have
said to the new ones. in the clearest
possible words:
I'VE want the non-partisan indus
trial program to continue. We ex-
pect you to take it over. and we shall
judge you by what you do with it,"
This is not understood by part OF
the press and the other part does not
want to understand it. The election
of the recall candidates overshadows
all else
The new officials will continue in
office until the first Of the year, 1923.
Next June the state will hold primar-
les for state officials and for United
States senator. Lines are already be-
ing shaped for that contest.

FARMERS OPPOSE
FAv0RS: TO RICH.
Protest Against Reduction in
Excess Profits Tax; Want
Wealth Conscripted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-We
have the right to expect that you will
conscript the wealth Of the nation
with the same courage with which
YOU called our. manhood into the
war;" say officers Of the national
board of farm organizations in a
IN memorial to the ccnate against re-
pealing the excess profits tax. .
'The excess profits tax law car
ries an per cent exemption. The
average farmer would be very glad
to receive a total net profits Of 8 per
cent. and in fact is now receiving far
less. In view Of the above mentioned
exemption the present tax Is paid by
those fully able to pay. The conten-
tion that this tax is passed on to the
consumer can only refer to those
cases when monopoly directs the dis.
tribution and sets the price. We
earnestly request that this tax be moi
repealed. To do so would entail q
loss of revenue OF $50,o0o,o0o.
"Millionaires and multi-million.
aires who would benefit from a re-
duction Of these surtaxes are those
chiefly interested in the repeal OF
the present act.
