WANTS TAXES SHIFTED

New York.-The national industrial
conference board, representing a score
of anti-union employers associations,
wants taxes shifted from the broad
backs of those who have surpluses
piled up. 1t is stated that the pres
ent income tax system stiles indi-
vidual initiative and makes inroads
ION the surplus considered vital for
our economic progress"
1t is agreed that "the limits of tax
able capacity have about been reach
ed or at least that taxation is on the
verge of becoming more or less un-
bearable," but the conference board
appears satisfied if these more or
less unbearable" taxes could be shift
ed to those less able to bear the bur-
den.

STANDARD OIL JOKES

Washington Standard oil jokes
when it says the people would turn
to alcohol for motor purposes before
they would pay 81 a gallon for gaso-
line, says Senator La Toilette.
The senate investigating committee
recently declared that 81 gasoline is
possibility. Standard oil officials
reply that the people would desert
gasoline for alcohol.
Senator La Toilette says this state
ment will bring no comfort to motor
lists unless there also is assurance
that STANDARD oil will not monopo-
lize the patents and processes for the
manufacture of alcohol for motor pur-
poses" The senator also asked what
produce would be used to manufacture
alcohol in quantities of billions of
gallons.

ANTI-UNIONISTS FAIL

Wheeling, w. Va-The anti-union
policy of certain building contractors
in this city has collapsed. These
business men evolved a theory that if
they signed no agreements, recog
nized no trade unions or their wage
scale, the unions would disappear.
The anti-union contractors discovered
that their scheme was faulty in but
one respect, and this was quite inn
portant-the unionists refused to
work for them.

and in an underworld cafe.
John Gilbert's work in the dual
role puts him in the front rank of
moving picture artists. His sudden
transition from the craven state of
the coward to the exalted condition
of the hero is piece of noteworthy
acting. The picture is worth seeing
more than once. Not only is the story
a clever one, written by a noted fic-
zionist, but the photography and the
direction are above par.
The added features will be a Sun
