REPUBLICANS ARE
CENTERING FIRE ON
FORD AND GOMPERS

The Republican national committee
doesn't like Sam Gompers; neither
does it like Henry Ford.
The committee is sending out pre-
pared articles TO the editors who
haven't gumption enough to do their
own writing, and in this weeks batch
there is an almost savage attack upon
Gompers because he praised Henry
Ford for establishing five-day week
with a So per day minimum wage.
The committee seems to think the
whole affair was propaganda designed
to injure the Republican party, claim
ing that Ford and Gompers are Demo-
Gratis, and they are combining for the
purpose of making monkeys out of
big business and the administration.
The committee resents the fact that
Ford has, through the elimination of
waste, built up one of the greatest
business enterprises in the country
and at the same time secured the
hearty good will of organized labor.
even though he doesn't run what IS
termed a CLOSED union shop"
As for Gompers, there isn't a prof-
tier or crooked politician in the conn
try who doesn't hate him, so the
Grand Old Man is not worrying about
what the Republican national commit
tee says.

CUTTING WAGES
(By PROFESSOR HARRY r WARD
of THE Bible Social Living Poverty
In The Christian Endeavor World

attested by Christian colleges and
missions all over the earth.
What, then, shall the people who
support such enterprises think of an
organization Of the work and wealth
of the world which gives much more
than the means of development to a
few, and then, after raising the stand
ard Of living of the many to a certain
point, proceeds gradually to lower
it? The great church bodies have
declared "for the most equitable divis-
ion of the product of industry that
can ultimately be devised" Is this
standard met by the kind of organ
ization of industry that made over
fifty thousand millionaires in this
country out of the war situation, and
now declares it necessary to reduce
the wages of many times that num-
Der of people below the point that
will provide a comfort standard of
living?' Are we to accept this as
the best that can be done by the in
telligence that perfected the marvel
Gus mechanism of production by ma
chinery and transportation by power,
or does our ideal compel US to seek
a more excellent way?
Those who engage in that search
will be struck by the fact that while
in recent years the income of the
workers, measured in goods, has been
slowly going down, the amount of ma
tional wealth paid out in interest and
dividends has been mounting by leaps
and bounds. Some years ago one of
our economists showed that the pro-
portion of the national income naid on
account of property owned, without
participation in the enterprise, was
slightly larger than the share paid
on account of service rendered. Since
that time the total interest and divi-
dends of the country have enormous
ly increased. There is, therefore, a
sharp clash at present between the
interests and welfare of those who
live in whole or in part from invest
ments and the interests and welfare
of those who live by wages, by small
salaries, or by small business and
farm incomes which leave no surplus
after the family is provided for. In
such a situation it is the way of the
world for the stronger to win. And
just now those who have more of this
worlds goods are stronger than those
who have less, and are apparently GO
ing to be able to make the weaker
accept still less. The consequence is
that i'll will, hate, and strife increase
among us.
This was not the way of Jesus,
who sought a world filled with love,
and in order to get it babe the strong
serve the weak. So the first Chris
tians endeavored to meet the needs
of those who lacked. If this were a
Christian world, who would now be
taking cut, those who live by wages
or those who live better than they by
investments, by large profits and high
salaries? Whose standard of living
would now be falling, those who live
in luxury or those who have not suffi-
cient comforts for their full develop
ment? Would the issue be adjusted
by a trial of strength or by mutual
agreement? Would the basis of
agreement be the principle "None
shall have cake until all have bread 2"

MISS GISH TALKS TO
THOUSANDS BY RADIO

When Lillian Gish went to Pitts
burgh to attend the premiere of ID.
w Griffith's orphans of the Storm"
a United Artists release which is COM
ing to the Virginia Theatre, she was
initiated into the mysteries of the
radio wireless telephone, and made
a little talk to that vast, invisible
audience. She could hardly realize
that people were hearing her all over
the United States, but she has since
become thoroughly convinced of the
wonders of the wireless for she has
received numerous letters from all
parts of the United States. one of
the most interesting was from
prominent architect at Chattanooga,
Tenn, who wrote:
Imagine me as the father of six
living children, i'm lovely living
room in the suburbs of a nice little
city in dear old Tennessee, and really
listening to you talk and laugh as
though you We're right by my side,
even hearing you drawing in your
breath as you talked. And your voice

phans of the Storm
Miss Gish says that she will always
keep these letters for they speak so
forcibly of the remarkable results
that have been attained through this
new invention, and besides, as she
says, it is so charming to receive
such delightful letters from persons
one has never met or even seen, but
yet has talked to, although some of
them We're thousands of miles away.
She is also proud of the fact that she
was he first star to talk to this vast
audience of wireless enthusiasts.

EXEMPTING THE
MILLIONAIRES AND
TAXING TOILERS
(From LaFollette's Magazine)

And now Mr.. Common Man, what
do you suppose our millionaire mas
tiers are planning to do to us next?
They are going to make the COM
mon folks pay: "a the running ex-
penses Of government; ~ the inter-
est on the Liberty" bonds; and (3)
enough more to create sinking fund,
which in time will pay off the entire
war debt.
The crushing weight of the total
burden may not be imposed at one
time. Our masters will gauge it
with nice judgment up to the limit
of your capacity to carry the burden
year by year.
Their plan is very simple one:
First, they will repeal the excess
profits tax and the tax on large in
comes. The evasion of these taxes
by the rich amounts to an enormous
sum; but it was quite impossible to
so frame the law as to let them to
escape altogether and they are now
caught to the extent of about billion
dollars annually. The millionaires
don't like this and are planning to
iGBCfit w tilCSG ODiiOAiOuS laws.
Second, they will pass a law, tax
ing all sales. This law win impose q
tax ON everything we eat, wear, and
use.
Our masters estimate that this tax
will take out of the common people
from one billion to five billion dol
lars annually, depending on the rate
and the method of imposing the tax.
No one can escape a tax on sales.
1t is a tax on life. Each human
being must have food, clothing, shell
ter, fuel. You will pay a tax every
time you buy loaf of bread, a pair
OF shoes, pound of tough meat, a
yard of cloth, a bushel of coal. This
tax you must pay or starve and
freeze.
1t makes little difference to the
man whose income is twenty-five
thousand or fifty thousand, or one
hundred thousand dollars, whether
the prices for the necessaries of life
are doubled or trebled, for he pays
out but a small part of his income
Tor the necessaries of life. But it is
hard for the man who earns a thous-
and or two thousand dollars year.
Ills earnings are substantially all
expended for the necessaries of life.
ANY increase in the cost of living for
him, cuts the home life for his family
to the very bone.
The payment of this new tax which
the new administration is planning to
impose on everything you eat, wear
and use, will exempt you from none
OF the other taxes which you are now
compelled to pay.
You must still continue to pay your
tax to the unlawful monopolies, which
both of the old parties have fostered
and which the courts have sanctified.
