Machine Gun Back in 177s7

A controversy as to who first in
vented machine guns is one of the
wars aftermaths III France.
Lyon puts forth the claim of II
M. du Perron, who, ia l77o, is said
to have submitted TO the young King
Louis XVI, military "orgue" which
worked on crank system and could
fire twenty-four bullets almost stimuli
taneously, and consequently could an
initiate a whole regiment in few
minutes" according to a contemporary
record.
The new weapon appeared TO be so
lnurderous that the king and his minis
ters rejected it, and its inventor was
held up as an enemy of humanity.
The powers hostile to France tried to
secure the invention, but NJ du Per-
ron refused their offers from patriotic
motives and died in poverty.

'rimberworkers' Union
Calls Upon Workers
in Woods to

Seattle, Wash.-The lumber indus
try is on the upgrade, says a special
bulletin of the international Union of
Large foreign orders
and a greatly delayed building pro
gram in this country will consume
more lumber than will be manufactur-
ed for the next five years at least.
The present price of lumber cannot
be charged to high wages paid TO the
workers because there has been no
increase in wages. On the contrary
wages in some instances have been
cut. The lumber lords have a vir-
tual monopoly of standing timber and
unless the workers in the industry
arouse themselves to the necessity OF
thorough organization they viii be at
the mercy of the timber monopoly.
Investigation by the officers of the
international union, continues the bull
letin, shows that on IL important
lumber items the average wholesale
price, f. o. b. mills, was 1861. This
investigation also shows that since
August /, 1921, the average increase
in price on the same II items is
$685., or an increase Of % per cent.
Reports from the East and South show
corresponding increases, with large
number of mills and camps in opera
ton, and with every indication that
they will all be running before many
weeks have passed

WEALTHY ESCAPE
Billions in Tax Exemption
Have Benefited the Rich
and Burdened the Poor
Workers Are at End of Bur-
den-Bearing Line, So
Must Pay the Great
er Amount

Washington Sixteen billion dol
lars worth of tax free securities have
been issued in the last few years.
That is an estimate of tax experts
and statisticians who are engaged in
the hopeful undertaking of trying to
raise money for running the govern
ment both by levying taxes and ex-
empting securities and still keep the
secret hidden from the people, But
the hard truth is that the government
has got to function and its function
ing must be paid for out of taxes No
matter how much blather may be
beloved by the tax experts and the
"stop-it now hell l's- let loose" exhort-
ers for tax reform, the fact stands out
boldly that this tremendous volume
of securities has already escaped tax
alton, and their holders cannot be
reached by the tax collector. No ex-
tended argument is necessary to prove
that these security holders are not
Wage-earners.
Without leveling an accusing finger
at any particular class of patriots,
it is safe conjecture that these Sc
curities are held by persons, corpora
tions and institutions able to pay
taxes without giving up any of the
necessaries of life or even foregoing
- +bo;, ,,ar,,,ol ao,1, Tl,o
soundness of this conjecture is shown
in the annual decline of federal in
come-tax payments since 1916. In
that year receipts from income taxes
from individuals were 1892, ,972, ,985.
A falling off in these returns to
1871 ,372,053 is noted for 1917. In
1918 they were cut nearly in half
being 1892 PAT 1923. This is drop
from 1916 to 1918 Of $500, 25,616 in a
form of taxes which were originally
levied with the object of placing the
burden of taxation upon those best
able to bear it.
No account is taken by the tax ex-
perts of the natural increase in in
come taxes accruing through fortunes
made in war profiteering 1t is likely
that these figures were too astounding
to include in their estimates because
Of the possible effect upon those who
have to pay the war taxes out oI
their blood
Nor do the tax experts consider the
relation between the decline in III
dividual income taxes and the increase
in tax-exempt securities In view OF
the issuing of these tax-exempt securi
ties at time when the ratio of in
dividual income taxes was being in
creased, and great fortunes were be
ing piled up by war contracts, it i:
a reasonable presumption that the Sc
curities exempt from taxation were
issued with the object of permitting
persons of large means to invest il

them and at the same time to escape
their just payment of the war debt.
No matter what may be done in
the future regulating or prohibiting
the issuance of tax-exempt securities,
the taxes which should have been paid
by the holders Of the securities already
exempt have been shifted, and will
continue to be shifted, from those who
are best able to pay to those who are
least able to pay.
Stated in plain terms, sixteen bill
lions of tax-exempt securities are
taxes lifted from the rich and put
upon the poor The poor must pay
them, for they are at the end of the
burden bearing line.

ICE PLANT BY
MIDDLE OF MAY
Sturtevant- Baker to Occupy Its
500, 900 Factory Soon; Best
In Mid West.

Completion OF the Sturtevant-Bak-
err company's artificial ice and ice
cream plant, Sixteenth street and
Fifth avenue, by May Is, is expected
according to a statement by o. q.
Sturtevant and G. E. Baker today.
The plant represents an investment
Of 100000 in land, building and
equipment.
On the site os the old skating rink
which SO or 40 years ago was the
most popular amusement place in
Rock Island, one of the largest
plants of its kind in the middle
west is in course of construction.
Work on the new building was be-
gun January /, and from the laying
of the foundation and the sinking or
well from which the water supply
will be derived, the execution of the
contract has reached a stage where
complete operation about the middle
of May is assured.
The building will front Sixteenth
street, and will be of brick, two
stories in height for the most part,
covering a ground plat of 212x100
feet.
The basement will be used for
the washing of containers and the
salt bins will be located in this
part of the structure, which will
also serve for general storage pur-
poses. Four carloads of salt can
easily be stored in the basement.
The office rooms will face Six
teenth street, and just to the north
will be garage 50x90 feet, with a
loading platform of Struck loading
capacity. To the rear of the offices
will be room devoted TO the prep
aration of Esquimo pie for the mar
ket, cutting and a freezing room.
Four 60-quart ice cream freezers,
purchased at a cost of $1,000 will
constitute its equipment, the freez-
ers having an automatic measuring
device of latest design and eff
cheney.
Hardening rooms with a capacity
of 10000 gallons of bulk and 1000

will employ about so people in it's
new building.
The Sturtevant-Baker company
was organized in 1912, taking over
the plant of the Beaman company
which consisted at that time of a
small frame building, and one team
of horses. From a modest begin
ming the company has progressed to
stage where it supplies more than
$50 dealers in the quad-cities alone,
besides shipping to rs towns in Illi-
nois and Iowa. The plant at 1914
Seventh avenue proved too small
for a rapidly growing business and
the new structure became neces-
sary.
The firm is financing the erec-
ton of it's new plant through the
sale of S150,000 eight per cent cum
ulative participating preferred
stock, most of which has been sub
scribed The product of the COM
pany will be known as Purity Ice

o. G. Sturtevant, president of the
company, has had 20 years of ex-
perience in ice and ice cream in
dustries A resident of Beloit, Wis,
where he is interested in the Stur-
tevant, Wright and Wagner Dairy
company, he will locate permanent
ly in Rock Island. c. E. Baker,

dent of Rock Island.

water being of the temperature Of
So degrees.
Aging tanks will be placed in
the second story rooms, which VIII
also be used for the storage of 1000
gallons of sweet cream, and 200
tubs of butter. There are to be
three 900 gallon glass lined mix
ing and aging tanks for ice cream.
This is a new process and gives the
cream it's velvety consistency.
No expense has been spared to
make the building represent the
very latest ideas in construction.
The office and freezing rooms will
be finished in white thing with a
terrazzo floor, so they can be
flushed frequently and kept in 4
perfect sanitary condition. The
plant is to have a capacity of 100
tons of ice daily, the firm reserVing
30 tons of this output for its own
use.
Four thousand gallons of ice
cream will be manufactured daily.
Provision has been made for ex-
pansion so that 100000 gallons of
ice cream can be made in a year if
necessary.
Employ Force of 80.
In addition to its Quad-city trade,
the Sturtevant-Baker company will
sell it's ice and ice cream products
