THE RESPONSIBLE GERMANS

If the big industrial leaders in the Ruhr pay the
fines imposed by the French court martiai-which
doesn't seem very likely-they will merely be meeting,
in an unexpected way of the public obligations
they have lodged heretofore.
In other countries there have been very heavy
taxes on capital since the In Germany there have
not been heavy taxes any class as IN England,
America and other belgerent countries, and what tax
alton there is has been paid mainly by the poorer
classes. The employers have succeeded in sbuntlng
the taxes onto their employees Clare Sheridan cor
respondent for the New York World writing from
Essen saws that the German capitalists do not pay
per cent of the taxes of the nation The workers have
to pay 10 per cent their earnings taken out
of their pay envelopes addition to their other taxes
direct and indirect.
It is largely because of this evasion of German
capital which exploits the German people and does
its banking abroad that the German government has
been unable to find the money on various occasions 10
meet reparation payments The big business men dom
mate the government.
Whether the French authorities are pursuing a
sound and practical policy, for their own ad-
vantage the future advantage of Europe, is
another question But neither friends nor foes
need have any great sympathy for the group which
France is beginning TO hold responsible Tor Ger

IMPERIAL, April &c. Brom-

All Nations in Los Angeles, was an
honored visitor IN Imperial yestcr-
day, speaking 70 the business mon
al 1890 and before the student
body of the local high school at
900. Seldom has speaker been
so thoroughly enioyed by young and
old, as was DIR. OMAN. In his ad-
dress TO the students he described
She winning of the World s Series
AZ Boston, when Babe Ruth drove
u homo run with three men on base.
With this as an illustration he urg-
ed each student to hit the ball of
{ life so as TO bring in these 3 runs:
First, he said, ~ want YOU TO
score in Il right understanding of
sthe value of life; one of the great
frlifficulties of life today is the low
estimate placed upon the value of
a human life, illustrating the
fact by referring to long hours and
little wage paid in the industrial
world in China, India and other
foreign countries, as he had person
ally observed.
Second 81 want YOU 10 score, :
said the speaker with great empha-
Sis, in proper appreciation Of Lib
ertv, not a selfish liberty of your
own. but that the world may prop
.erly enjoy it as yourself : And
third and last, he urged that the
students. in whom the state has in
vested so much because they had
such faith in them, might secure 2
proper manifestation of love. lone
of the hardest things in the world :,
said the Doctor, lis to put in ac-
tion all that we say in words, but
the world is today needing Il real
manifestation of our heart S inter
est in their welfare.
Rev. G. Bromley OMAN s asso-
ciation with people of al nations
and his six years of faithful effort
in the contested district of Los An
geles, has well fitted him to speak
upon such themes.
