LEVY UPON BRITISH
CAPITAL PROPOSED
Labor Party Would Lay
Hands on Private Fortunes
to Redeem Debts.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. June 2S.-A capital levy
on a graduated scale of fortunes from
$4,000 upward became an integral part
of the British labor partys program
today, when long resolution deal
ing with national finance was
adopted by the party conference in
session in Queens Hall.
Charles G. Ammon, labor member of
parliament for CamberwelI. in NOV
ing the resolution, said the capital
levy was the keystone of the whole
future Of labor finance, and, instead Of
apologizing for it. the party was de-
termined to keep it to the forefront
in it's program.
Plans for Debt Redemption.
The resolution declares that the
policy of labor is to redeem sub
stantial portion of the British ma
tional debt by levy on capital, with
a saving in annual interest and. sink
ing fund thereby being effected, to-
gether with other economies. notably
on ornaments and by the taxation OF
land values
AS a result Of the levy. the resolution
stated, 1t would be practicable to abol-
ish the food taxes and tighten the bur-
den of the income tax by raising the ex-
lax and corporations profits tax could
be abolished, and money provided for
much needed social expenditure.
The resolution urged the labor party
in parliament, in default of a capital
levy, to press for abolishment of the
hefnro
ton was given.
Preface to New War.
The resolution offered by George Lans-
bury, labor member Of parliament for
Poplar, declaring against competition in
building up of government air forces,
was carried unanimously. The resolu-
ton says the proposed increase in the
British air force, in competition with
war, and the parliamentary labor party
Is called upon to offer every resistance
to it as "a crime against humanity to
promote this new race in armaments
within five years Of the late war, which
the peoples of the world hoped was the
beginning of an era Of peace"
Tie resolution demands the imme-
diate calling by Great Britain of an
international congress for the pur-
pose of eventually abolishing by in
ternational agreement all air arma-
ments."
Mr.. Lansbury declared all the evil
in the world came from one set of
people wanting to dominate another
set, and that this spirit must be re-
moved from humanity. The labor
movement of Great Britain, said the
speaker, should declare that it relied
on the true justice of principles
rather than on force.
Frank H. Rose. labor member of
ra ri a
Ing the resolution. asserted that the
so-called frightful air peril did not
exist. and that the people must not be
stampeded into panic.

smiling, and giving one the impression
that he is very good natured. This
gentleman must be nearly fifty years
of age, and is leading life of single
blessedness.
Description of?
A long, lanky animated bean pole
is he, with pants turned up at the
bottom to show his bright colored
socks. His shoes are about fourteens,
and serve as snow shoyels when he
is out walking.
His head is fastened to his shoul-
ders by spindle neck, that seems to
be made to turn around. His disting
uishing features are snipe nose, set
upon his face so he cannot overlook
the far end of it; and a chin that is
almost as pointed as his nose. His
hands and arms dangle out of his
shirt sleeves, which always seem to
be a trifle too short. A white collar
is wrapped around his spindle neck,
dainty bow tie is clasped to his col
lar and he wears an everlasting smile
md parts his medium brown hair in
he middle and Sticks it down on the
sides with vaseline.
?????
He is about five feet seven inches
in height, is of rather slight build and
has raven black hair, black eyes with
over-hanging lashes, little nose and
1 mouth like a button-hole. His work
would make one think that he was
trying to catch the 5:15 train. He is
very business like and concentrates
on every thing he does. He is always
very authoritive and likes to have
people know that the G. H. s. could
not exist without him.

A news item from Billings tells of
the establishment of general offices
in Lewistown by the Great Northern
Railway company for the purpose, ap-
parently, of beginning the early work
of making improvements on the line
east of Lewistown. Whether this move
means the construction of the new
road east of Winnett to Richey is diff
ficult to say, as no one knows the
plans of the railway companies until
the official announcements are made.
People in this section of the state
would be glad to see this new work
undertaken this year, but whether
it is done this year or not, we are OF
the opinion that eventually this line
will be built for a direct eastern and
western outlet for the great Cat creek
oil fields and shortening of the main
line of the Great Northern from the
Twin Cities to the west coast.
The building of this proposed line
will completely change the status of
the city of Sidney. Direct connections
would be established with the Twin
Cities and with Lewistown and Great
Falls from the west and nothing could
keep Sidney from becoming the me-
tropolis of eastern Montana. Sidney
