PARTY LOYALTY
CAUSE Of MUCH
POLITICAL EVIL
Only Hope of Improvement
Lies in Not Adhering to
Organizations, Gompers
Says in an Address

Washington, Dec ITO the
'unquestioning allegiance to par
ty by which that obligation is
placed about principle and above
country" is to be attributed much
of the political evir' of the ma
tons past and present lile, Sam
uel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clared in an address today before
the conference of progressives
from all parts of the country meet
ing here to discuss n program OF
liberal legislation. The time has
come, Mr.. Gompers said, when
we are entitled to hope that this
blind adherence" to parties is be-
ing broken, for in that, he added,
lies the only hope of restoring
control of our government to the
people" and abrogating chose
assumptions of power that have
cost them so dearly"
Largely because of this "un-
thinking loyalty to party, Mr..
Gompers said, 'the courts have
been able to steal away powers
which it was never intended they
should have" and which, he ad-
ded, was one of the most impor-
tant causes of the loss of govern
ment control by the people. No
matter what may be the peoples
will to attainment of progressive,
constructive legislation" the
speaker said, the judiciary through
its assumed power to declare un-
constitutional the enactments of
congress, in direct violation of
the constitution" exercises the
power to annul that will. Assert
ing the judiciary exercises the
"unwarrantably assumed power"
to "curb or prohibit freedom of
speech, freedom of the press, and
freedom of assemblage," Mr.. Com
pers added:
81 say without the slightest pos
sibility Of contradiction that the
inJunctive process as used in la
Dor disputes is the result solely
and entirely of this assumption Of
powers on the part of the judi
ciary.
IF we aim TO restore the com
troll OF our government to the peo-
pie it is necessary for the
citizenship of the United States to
organize as citizens without re-
gard to political party affiliations
or political party obligations. faith
full to the republic Of the United
States and determined to carry
out the restoration of that control.
Contributory to the statement OF
these high purposes the producers
OF the country, on the farm, in
the field, factory, mine or work
shop must be organized. 1t is
through organization that we Sc
cure the fullest development of
uniform intelligent opinion.
"All the men of affairs and
women of affairs. engaged in hon
est industry and commerce, and
all who are high minded, patriotic
liberty and humanity loving men
and women, should feel called
upon to give their fullest support
to q movement so necessary TO the
perpetuation of the ideals of our
republic.
"Unless we can restore control
of our government TO the people
disaster will come upon us"

DISCRIMINATION
IS CHARGE MADE
AGAINST MELLON
Secretary of the Treasury
FavOrS the Rich Taxpayer
and the PrOfiteer, Gov
ernor Blaine IntimateS

Washington, Dec. 2.-Discrim-
nation in favor of the rich tax
payer and profiteer was imputed
to Secretary Mellon of the treas
ury department by Governor John
j. Blaine Of Wisconsin in an ad-
dress here today at a national con-
ference Of progressiyes.
In advocating removal Of the Sc
crecy ban upon income tax returns,
Governor Blaine attacked Secro-
tary Mellon for his recent state
ments in correspondence with Rep
resentatiye Frcar republican, Wis
consin, that the government could
not reach corporations undistri-
bLted surplus which are the basis
for stock diyidenLs.
"Now what Mr.. Mellon meant
when he said that the government
cannot collect. taxes due from in
come and sur taxes on excess prof
its as that what the profiteers and
millionnaires do to escape the in
come and sur taxes Is to make false
returns said Governor Blaine,
some times through innocence,
but often through deceit and fraud,
or by legal devices and tricks Of
the trade, legally cheat The gov
ernment,"
Declaring that secrecy of income
tax information as responsible for
many frauds upon the government
and that publicity would largely
cure the situation, Governor Blaine
continued:
"But suppose Mr.. Mellon would
scourge the profiteer ana the mil
lionnaire with the same vigor that
he does the lesser criminals. Sup
pose he would really try to collect
the taxes assessed on the rich. Is
it true that the government is
powerless to enforce the law
against the rich, or is it just a
lack of desire on the part Of Mr.,
Mellon to place all taxes on an
emIality before the law ="

POSSIBLE LIFE ON PLANETS
Existence on Moon, Jupiter, Saturn,
Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, Inn
probable, Scientists Say.

The possible existence Of life on the
planets has lately been discussed In a
most interesting manner by American
astronomers. This is a summary OF
the conclusions of these scientists up
on the question. It Is considered that
the existence of a high form of life
on the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mer-
curry, Uranus or Neptune Is extremely
improbable. Although Venus greatly
resembles the earth, 1t Is generally be-
lieyed by astronomers that the day
and the year Of the planet are of equal
duration. In that case no life can.
exist upon 1t. Concerning Mars, astron-
omers are not agreed as. to- whether
the much-discusse0 markings are ca
nails or merely earthquake cracks.
There are no permanent bodies of wa
ter on the planet The best that can
be said is that, although the tempera-
ture on Mars is very low, there may
be on the planet, to a limited extent,
the conditions essential to life; prob
ably only vegetable and low-order ami
NAL life, but no beings of intelligence.

MANY UNTRIED TIRES

The tire market has been Hooded
to such an exenvt with cheap and
shop-worn tires during the past year
that every motorist would be wise to
exercise the utmost caution in making
tire purchases. Tires with new and
strange names are floating around in
great numbers and experience with
most of them has been costly to pur-
chasers.
In the tire world there are only a
few great names and none is older
than the G. & J. From the very be-
ginning of the tire industry in this
county the G. & ]. has been a lead
er in developing and perfecting tires
of the sort that appeal to the careful
buyer. In the old bicycle days the
G. & j. was known to every cyclist
as a tire of first quality and today
in the automobile field it holds place
equally high. It is special favorite
in this section because it has given
good account of itself.

Chicago principal issues now
prevent possible settlement of the
railway shopmen's strike, B. M. Jewell,
head of the railway employees depart
ment Of the American Federation Of
Labor, said in statement. These is
sues, he said, are found in the refusal
of the rail executives:
First-To discontinue contracting
out of work.
Second-To establish a national

Third-To continue seniority rights
Of employees who suspended work.
"The responsibility for increasing
losses to the railroads, to the COM
munities they serve and to wage earn
ers upon the railroads and elsewhere,
through continuance of the present
suspension Of work." the statement
said, rests plainly upon the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives. and par
ticularly upon that small but dominat-
ing group, representing the New York
banking interests"
Pointing out that the Railroad La
Dor board has decided against the
practice Of contracting out railroad
work in certain cases, Mr.. Jewell as.
serted that the Erie railroad, the New
York Central and its subsidiaries. in
Guiding the Indiana Harbor Belt, the
Michigan Central and the Big Four,
and the Western Maryland road have
all contracted out shop work"
MANY other roads," the statement
said, "have followed the same prac-
tice, and always with the purpose and
result of reducing wages, evading de-
cisions of the labor board, degrading
working conditions and attacking the
employees organizations"

IN THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
Trader and Planter Not In Need Of
Pity. According to Writer in the
Asia Magazine.

It is customary to waste a lot Of
pity on the trader and the planter in
remote places-lonely outposts Of
civilization-but. from my observa-
ton, they do not need pity, declares
q writer in Asia Magazine. The man
who stays in the islands is fitted for
life there; If he isn't, he doesn't stay,
and, if he does stay, he can retire af-
ter Is or 20 years, with a tidy for
tune.
OF course, the road to fortune is a
long and hard one. The average
planter starts out with little capital
SAY $500. He purchases plot Of
land. The price he pays depends upon
the locality in which he buys. In re-
gions where the natives are still fair
" unsophisticated he may get his
land for almost nothing. Even where
the natives are most astute, he can buy
a square mile for what he would pay
for an acre back home. His next
step is to get his land cleared. To
that end he buys whaleboat and
goes out to recruit natives to act as
laborers. He needs FIVE or six blacks
They will build his house and clear
his land and plant his coconuts. Since
it takes seven years for the coconuts
to mature, sweet potatoes and cotton
must be planted between the rows
Of trees. The sweet potatoes, with a
little rice, will furnish all the food
required by the blacks. The cotton,
if the planter is diligent and lucky,
will pay current expenses until the
coconuts begin bearing.
Though his small capital of $500
may be eaten up early in the game,
the settler need not despair. The big
trading companies that do business
in the islands, will see him through
If he shows any signs Of being made
of the right stuff. They will give him
credit for food and supplies, and they
will provide him with knives, calico
and tobacco, which he can barter with
the blacks for the sandal-wood and
copra that will help balance his &C.
count with the companies. And after
the first trying seven years his troubles
are about over-if he can get labor
enough to keep his plantation going.
