COMP ANY UNION"
Proves Good Investment For
The Company

Portland Ore - The company
union" known as the loyal legion OF
] loggers and lumbermen, is proving
a good investment to northwest lum-
Der men who have financed this
scheme. At meeting in this city the
board of directors o. the union" vot-
ed to reduce wages from a $3.50 min
imum to $3.50 day, or $1020 a
week The board consists of II en-
ployers and IL workers.
Lumber workers along the Pacific
coast are awakening to peonizing
plans that started when the loyal le-
gion of loggers and lumbermen was
formed during the war. At that time
trade unionists made the stategical
mistake of not opening a relentless
war on it. Instead, the unionists al
lowed the legion to function because
it was garbed with patriotism Now
it is being used to lower their con
dtions.
Attempts to reduce wages Of mem
bers Of the International Union of
Timber Workers have failed. Recent
" mill owners claimed they were oper-
ating at loss. The unionists showed
that this loss totaled u cents for
every 900 feet of lumber. They also
showed that during April the mill
owners operated at a profit of from
$4,000 to $4,000 day The mill own
ers dropped the subject like hot
potato and newspapers ignored the
incident while they laud company
unions" and assure the public that
living costs are down to pre-war
levels and wages must also be re-
iuced. !

LAND VALUES
TAXED
Would Help Stop Million.
aire Tax Dodgers

Baltimore The American economic
league makes a point against the New
York Times, which says
"Millionaires know now to pay their
taxes IN strict accordance with the
law, and in such a manner that thev
do not pay too much IN punishment for
their wealth, according to lawful
BY putting their money in exempt Sc
eurities provided for the purpose, they
keep their income intact, but also di
vert their wealth from more rennuner-
ative investments"
To TINS expose Of tax-dodging mil
lionaircs, the economic league replies:
In other words, the income tax
law bears lightly on millicnaires, al
though supposed to bear heavily on
them. There is nothing surprising in
this. All efforts to levy taxes ac-
eording to ability 70 pay must turn
cut that way
More millionaIres would be reached
by abandoning the income tax and
similar taxes and levying all taxes on
land values That would reach the un-
earned income at its source The mill
lionaire might invest in stocks, bonds
or other securities, but these have no
value except what is given them by the
property which they represent In
most cases this property is land, and
by taxing the value of this land the
securities based upon it will be taxed
Such q tax cannot be evaded or shift
ed That this is known to millionaire
tax dodgers is clear enough from the
opposition Of the papers they control
to single tax measures wherever pro
posed
When it comes to a choice between
the income tax and a land value the
recipient Of unearned incomes who
wants ms privilege to continue is sure
to prefer the former He knows
which one he can eyade."
