UNEMPLOYMENT is GREAT
BUTT MUSTN'T PARADE

New York. - Unemployment may
be holding its gaunt hand over hum
dreds Of thousands of men and women
in New York City, but the local de-
partment of parks doesn't think there
should be any public fuss about it. So
having applied to the park department
for permit to hold demonstration
against unemployment in Central Park
on Labor Day and having received an
evasive reply which was in effect re-
fusal. the Central Trades and Labor
Council has abandoned the plan. The
proposal was to hold a parade on
Fifth Averue, to be followed by an
open-air meeting in Central Park.
The comfortable persons residing on
Fifth Avenue and about Central Park.
as result, will be spared the embar-
RAISING sight of workers assembling as
a protest against hunger.

PETTY CRIMINALS JAILED
BIG CRIMINALS GO FREE

New York. - The brand of Robert
P. Brinde!l, former New York build
ing trades car, now in prison for ev-
tortion, still is upon his old Carpenter S
union, declares Samuel Untermeyer,
in letter from Carlsbad, where he is
recuperating from his work for the
committee, mentions that Frank Olson
has been elected secretary and treas
urer of the Carpenters organization.
Olson. he says, has been a mere pup
pet,of BrindelI."
Mr.. Untermeyer then scores the gov
eminent for its failure to prosecute the
great commercial and industrial COM
binations which were exposed by The
committee. particularly the National
Erectors' Association and the White
Lead Trust.

thing that is productive property is
owned in common, too. A living to
one is just as secure as it is to another
and this applies to all alike. As to the
homes, the buildings themselves be-
long to the people as a whole, but each
has a right toshis home as long as he
wishes to live in it. If he desires to
change to another he may; but he can
not trade or sell the one he leaves.
Some one else has the right to it. Now
comrades, if you really want home
and must purchase it on the INSTALL
ment plan, why not invest your money
in workers community, where we all
own the right to employment and the
privilege of living as well as all 9TH
ers who are associated with usl You
can send in your payments for us to
work upon while we are building these
homes, clearing land, and extending
our operations for your-benefit as well
as our own. As long as we are pay
ing for land, adding new machinery of
production, and building Improvements
of any kind from material that we
must purchase from the outside, we
must get money from the outside and
you who are outside must furnish it, or
we shall have to stay in the profit
game in order to get it. One of the
great dangers to this Colony has al
has been the wish to make this mon
ey-making enterprise. They fail to see
that the mere making of money only
keeps US on the plane Of the other
would-be-capitalist. When one indul-
ges in this money-getting business, he
develops the traits that creates the de-
sire for private property and from the
acquiring of private property came all
the ills of the world. Therefore, the
less we have to do with bartering and
selling to get profit and the more we
enter into producing for our own use,
the better off we are. 1t is hard to
make people see this vital point and
realize that we are trying to develop
a new system of getting the necessities
of life and at the same time develop
ourselves away from those traits that.
make US unfit for enjoying better
common social life with each other in
which suspicion, greed, and jealousy
do not enter to destroy the peace and
harmony that must prevail if we are to
be truly social beings. The meeting of
the mental science class and the enter
tainment were the only occurrences of
the day. We have our rush work
done now and Sunday is a day of real
rest in which we are always glad to
indulge.

ing dollars, and these were both girls.
Did you ever stop to think how many
homes are wrecked and how many hui
man lives are destroyed in the mad
foolish struggle to make dollars. In
the daily paper to-day comes the story
of girl in Illinois who says she will
marry any man under 40 years of age
who will furnish her with $4,000, so
she can finish her education. Just
think this over and consider that no
girl here is held back from an educa-
ton because she needs money. In fact
the one thing we cannot excuse here
is ignorance. A girl has the same
rights here as boy, and women the
same as men, and~we try to show our
girls how necessary it is for them to be
able to be economically free in order
to be the equals of men and independ-
ent of them. Legalized prostitution is
the result of women being dependent
upon men for living. Parents who
are not teaching their children these
facts are only making hard road for
them to travel thru life. The home
psychology has great influence upon
your child and you should look well
to its training now. The usual crowd
attended the dancing school and dance
tonight and a fine time was had by
those who attended and took part.

Sunday, September II. - Deep
down in the heart of every normal per-
son there is desire to have home.
One in which security for the future
is assured as well as place to eat,
sleep, and have family in privacy.
Usually the worker has no way to Sc
cure this home except to buy on the
installment plan. He makes his pur-
chase and pays some cash down, then
gives security for the remainder. In
the event he fails on future payments,
he loses the property and all he puts
into it. At no time is he secure in his
buy; because he is never secure in his
right to work, and therefore, is never
free from the danger Of losing his in
vestment. IF he gets the home paid
for and then unemployment comes, he
stands in the danger of losing his home
for he may be forced to mortgage it
to raise money to live upon, or he may
be forced to change his abode in order
to secure employment in some other
place. In fact, no mans future is Sc
cure unless he owns his own job, and
he cannot own that unless he owns the
means of production. Here at the Col

interest to you to know that only two

SILESIA MADE SAFE
FOR DEMOCRACY

London. - The following, taken
from a recent issue of the "Schlesi-
sche Zeitung,' of strictly confiden-
tial' document recently issued to the
Korfantist commanders, throws an IN
teresting sidelight on the relations be-
tween the French and Polish insurg-
ents:
IF the military units have hitherto
not succeeded in reaching what they
have aimed at. and if, in some places,
they have been prevented mainly by
the French, they should not be mis-
guided into acting as an enemy against
the French.
THE FRENCH ARE AND WILL
BE OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES.
WHO FOLLOW THEIR OWN TAG
TICS AND AIMS.
Even if it sometimes looks as if
aheir actions are directed against us,
that is not the case, for the French
have also to respect their allies, the
Italians and the British, and therefore
must work with caution.
when you follow carefully the tao
tics Of the French you will notice that
they are only out to suppress and root
out all that is German. In the coun-
try places it was they who gave the
Germans into, the hands of us Poles,
50 that their aims might be reached
more quickly.
.'THEY WILL ALSO SEE TO IT
THAT WE ARE NOT HIINDERED IN
OUR PLANS BY ANY OTHER POW
Err.
I'VE notice with pleasure that they

themselves suppress the Germans in
the towns. On the other hand, thew
will also arrange that the towns fall
into our hands. Therefore. it is essen
tiaI that they are not hindered by the
Polish troops, so that the other powers
do not get to know these plans.
Caution must be taken that this cir
cular does not fall into wrong hands. "

Increase in value Of capital assets
when realized by sale or other dispo-
sition. by one not q trader or dealer
therein, is not income, and hence is
not taxable as such"
The applicability Of the decision to
local conditions affecting the farmer
and stOckmen is shown in the follow
ing reasoning Of the court in render
ing the opinion in the case:
The question. therefore, is simply
'nis,-Is a gain in value realized from
the sale Of property income? The mere
ract that property has advanced in
value between the date of its acouisi-
ton and sale does not authorize the
imposition Of the tax on the amount of
the advance Mere advance in value In
no sense constitutes the gain, profits.
or income specified by the statute. II
constitutes and can be treated merely
as increase Of capital. So il seems that
income from investments consiste-
IN the case Of bonds. Of interest; in
tne case Of stocks. OF dividends. There
Is no income from the sale Of invest
ments- The conclusion seems inoera-
i've that the word income has we'll
aenned meaning. not only in common
speech but also under judicial cor
s-lnetlon and this meaning does not
.nciuoe the increase in value of capt.
al assets when realized upon a sale,
