Newspapers Silent

TO foreigner snddeny taklng hil Initial survey of the situation perhaps one or the strangest features of tho British crisis would be the absence rom the columns of the prineipal daily newspapers of reports on tho activities of the labor party notwith standing the announced intention oi that party to put more than 100 can. didates into the electorate field.
 Labor certainly Is mentioned but the space given the labor movement is trifing compared to that devoted l to the doings of the two older par ties, There Is no reason to suppose, however, that this reflects the amount 1 of importance attaching to the indus l trial attack on the various constitu encies.
 The fact Is that the labor leaders thus far have been less vocal than their rivals, but they are known to be conducting an energetic campaign.
 Some of the principles for which labor Is fighting are already well known. They were put succinctly by the moderate labor leader, Arthur Henderson, in a speech yesterday at Newport. Monmouthshire where there is by-election today in which labor will have the opportunity of showing its strength.
 In his address Mir. Henderson said labor seeks national financial reform on the principle of ability to pay and would Tighten the national debt by a war debt redemption fund through a levy on accumulated wealth, begin ming with all fortunes exceeding 5000 pounds.
 Labor also declares war against private industrial enterprise and ad- vocates greater extension of collective responsibility. This especially applies to such national services as the mines and railroads.
 The workers must have a measure of control over industry and there must be an elevation in their status, full employment or maintenance and the humanizing of all working condi- tions.
 Characterization of political institu- tions, placing of the foreign policy of the nation under the control of pop ularly elected assemblies and interna- tional arbitration were among the other aims set forth by the labor spokesman.

LLOYD GEORGE MAY
 DECIDE TO RETIRE
Likely to Quit if Chamberlain Is Not Supported

London, Oct. IS (By Associated
 Press) The British political feve,
 has now reached it's height and there Is every indication that the maximum temperature will be maintained 10, some days. Everybody is guessing as to when the crisis will pass and what turn 1t will take. but the answer is as yet unrevealed and the future re- mains obscure pending tomorrow unionist meeting at the Carlton club which Is expected to'give the key to the problem. .g
 One anti-coalition newspaper, the Daily Mail, today attributes to Pre- mier Lloyd George the definite state ment that he will resign office if the unionist meeting declares against Austen Chamberlain, whose outspok- en adhesion to the premier has aroused strong opposition in the party | ranks.
 Meeting Was Private. MT. Lloyd Georges statement is said to have been made at a private meeting last night of the liberals ministers and under secretary. None of the papers nearest the premier nor any other confirms this or professes to know exactly what passed at the meeting although all agree that Lloyd George received general cordial support
 Whether or not the premier made the declaration attributed to him, some of the best informed political correspondents believe he will re- sign if Mir Chamberlain is voted down at the Carlton club. It would then be up to the king. in accord ance with political precedents in this country, to invite the conservative party to try it's hand at forming a cabinet
 If, on the contrary, the meeting gives MT. Chamberlain anything ap- preaching strong support the pre- mier, it is reiterated will advise the king to dissolve parliament and this being done will appeal to the country on a coalition ticket
 Thus If these prophets be correct. the dissolution. of parliament seems imminent in either case and it is not supposed the conservatives could car- ry on without the prominent and tried leaders who would quit the gov ernment with Chamberlain if he re- signs.

LANOThe Trail That Leads the Cooperative Commonwealth

selects general manager. He selects hi
foremen for the various industries, and each
is selected carefully according to his ability
to do the work and to direct his men.
Each manager is given free hand to run
his department, always with the supervision
of the manager and board of directors. in
order that his actions may not be contrary to
the collective welfare.
New industries are started from time TO
time as necessity demands. The object of
Lano's industries is to provide the Colony
with what it needs, rather than to make a
profit by selling the products. Production
for use is our slogan. Thus to make its own
food, clothing and shelter. to provide as far
as possible every convenience and comfort
is the final object. To get as nearly as pos
sible to the source Of wealth, the Colony will
raise sheep for wool; cotton can be raised,
and the colonists can weave their own cloth
and make their clothing
The Colony's timber lands are now fur
nishing hardwood and pine for its buildings,
its brick plant makes the necessary brick and
can make thing, hollow tile, etc, for its own
homes.
The farm and gardens Of the Colony have
provided the tables with most Of the good
things which nature offers.
Thus The three important problems are
easily solved.
Work is done as much as possible BY ma
chinery. eliminating heavy drudgery, and the
more machinery used, the less the labor is,
Many tractors are used on the farm and in
logging operations for hauling. and for land
clearing.
The Colony now owns about 5000 acres
Of land, some Of it Of very fair character,
varying from bottom land to rolling land
and timber land. II intends to purchase
total Of 10000 acres. because the colonists
realize that the movement is destined to grow
to large proportions. several small commune
tiles probably will Be settled on the land.
When the days work is done at 4:30.
each coIonist has an equal opportunity to
improve himself along many lines, such as
music. vocal training. languages. science,
agriculture, orchestra work. dancing. and
other diversions. Many Of these clauses are
well attended, and all the colonists realize

and industries are all owned by the collectiN
ity; where each works for the other; where
each receives the same compensation for a
days work; where no member will accept
ANYTHING which any other member cannot
have on the same terms, if he desires it
in short. imagine a place where the golden
rule is the only law imposed upon the COM
munity, and you are picturing the Llano Co
operative Colony
After eight years of work, Llano Colony is
rated in the commercial world as worth over
$250,000. But Llano's least asset is its COM
mercial rating. The fullness of life. the joy
of living, the satisfaction Of working, the
security for the future, the healthy environ
ment, the opportunity for education, the att
lection of your fellowmen- are priced
more, much more, than Mhat the commercial
world calls success.
This colony now has something like thirty
industries, all collectively owned. Among
these are: apiary, auto garage, building de-
partment, brick-making plant, blacksmith
shop. butcher shop, broom factory, crate-
making factory, chicken farm. dairy with
about 20 milking cows and a herd of thoro-
bred Holstein heifers, goat ranch, hog ranch.
with several hundred Duroc-J Jersey hogs,
sweet-potato storage houses. dressmaking,
grist mill, handle lathes. hotel. hospital, Ii
brary, steam laundry, land clearing. fruit or
chards. print shop peanut butter factory.
magazine and weekly newspaper, picture
show and theater. wagon-making shop. cam
dy kitchen, shoe shop. harness shop, and
many other smaller concerns.
Then Llano's farms and gardens provide
the bulk of the living for the colonists, the
farmers specializing on sweet potatoes, SUE
gar cane, peanuts. corn. beans. peas, etc.
while the gardens provide green's and gar
den truck for the table the year around.
The system Of government is exceedingly
simple. Stock is sold in the corporation at
one dollar share, and only stockholders
are employed by the Colony. An agreement
of employment IS entered into between the
Colony as an organization and each individ-
uaI. Each member is employed at what
he best can do. OF which needs most to Be
done A board Of directors is selected each
year By the stockholders. which board IN turn

the fact that to keep progressive they must
advance in knowledge A radical in poll
itics and a conservative in everything else is
ont Of nlace in this community.
Lanos school system is as progressive as
the cooperative colony. Thetchildren are
not driven to learn. The subjects are ar
ranged so as to draw out Of the child the
best that is in him. With this in view, diver
sified industrial trades are placed at his dis
posal. He may thus gain an insight into
world of endeavor and can choose that which
most nearly fits in with his natural ability.
The school has its own cafeteria now, where
foods more especially adaptable to growing
children are prepared by the domestic SCI
ence class. Music, singing, languages, bot
any, agriculture. Esperanto, are among the
subjects offered TO Llano's children; and
there are many opportunities for obtaining
real education. in addition to those pro-
vided by the regular state course of study.

group Of future builders of cooperative
commonwealth.
Equal wages are paid to men, women and
children. The theory Of this is that each
eolonist owes to the community his best en-
beavers. whether he be learned lawyer, hus-
ky farmer. or little school child. They give
to the whole the best they can, and in re-
turn receive the best each other can offer
Hospital and doctor are provided when
sickness comes. and there are no charges for
such social services. Funerals are conducted
along the same lines.
There is no need for insurance in the Col

Social life is made by those who live to-
gether. The great objection to living on the
land is the isolation which accompanies it.
Here in Llano. the farmers and the industrial
workers live close to the center where dane
es, entertainments. picture shows. and all
manner Of good times can be had for the
making.
No rent is charged for the houses, and
any building can BE- used for meetings with
