Washington.-A bankrupt agricul-
ture is a menace to labor, according to
Benjamin Marsh, managing director,
Farmers National council.
"Tne same great financial interests
which caused the defation in the pric-
es of farm products made three eff
forts to crush labor organizations" he
said in an address here.
''They attempted this crushing pro
cess through the socalled open shop
drive, through the breaking down of
all restrictions on immigration and
through breaking the farmers, driving
one or two million of them into the
cities, the mines and transportation
industries to compete with the work
ers there"

Japanese Shop Fight

TITESTERN Japanese, deprived of the right to own
wv FARMS to lease land to enter into crop contracts
with white by recent decisions of the United
States supreme court will remain the land they have
fought for long, instead Of returning their native
soil or migrating to "Japtowns" of Western cities.
This is announced the decision of his people by
ezo Yahanda secretary of the Japanese Association of
America following quiet vote taken after the court
decision.
Yahanda predicts, however that white men will soon
petition for restoration of their little brown essees after
finding that they lose money by barring them.
In the meanwhile Western sentiment is demanding
activity in the antiJapanese crusade rather than

The next step demanded by the Exclusion league,

What Tax Plan Will Do

A CERTIFIED public accountant has to bat with
some facts and figures that help still to clear
the air in regard to just what will happen if Secretary
MELONS tax plan advocated by President Coolidge, is
put into effect.
The pan it is figured will cut down taxes by $222
100000 The accountant has figured out that of this
amount, the man with the income between $4,000 and
$4,000 will 4161 per cent; the from $4,000 to
$4,000 will 2337 per cent; the from $4,000
to $4,000 819 per cent; the from $4,000 to $780,
900, 1853 per cent; the from $4,000 to 100000
1861 per cent and the with income of than
100000, 259 per cent.
That means that if you have been paying tax on
$4,000 income your saving will be than 500
year.
The accountant points out that 500 persons last

Ion plan will get Ill per cent reduction while only 49,

"Blind" Bicycles Menace

EDrTOR STAR: noticed in your paper last night that
o. some one took occasion to critcse an officer for
stopping boy and calling him down for riding in the
streets on his bicycle ut night without light.
To nv mind the policeman did exactly right In the
North End especially, where live, there are great
many children riding in the streets without night light
and during these dark rainy nights 1t is almost mpos-
slble to keep from hitting them.
agree with you fully that the man who ran that
little crippled child that YOU mentioned should have been
apprehended and brought to justice but whatever could
lie done bring that man to justice doesn't excuse the
bows for riding at night without lights. 1t is not only
very dangerous for the children themselves but also Tor
the people driving cars
You have always been fair in things of this nature and
hope you will publish this letter. and should like to
hear from other automobile drivers in the city this
subject as think it is the poicemans duty to stop all
violations of law If possible and instead OF condemnng
this officer he should be commended for his work
hope that your honorable paper will suggest to the
children and to their parents that the children stayy off
The streets with their bicycles at night without lights
Very truly yours.
Thanks, Mr.. Santmyer. for your letter. You have
brought home important fact Boys riding bicycles
after dark without lights are menace. They endanger
their lives.
! But the reckless fiend who speeds motor-drven
Hhice thru dark streets places not only his life in
opardy but endangers the lives of Of others
sell. The boy the bike rarely hurts anybody but
himself.
1t was not the intention of The Star to minimize the
Danger of ghtess bicycle riding to condemn the Of
ficer who stopped the boy because his lights were out
The big idea The Star is trying to put is that
this particular traffic officer let number of high
powered automobiles without lights, pass him without
notice and that the only he had crust enough
tackle was a boy bike
If your family faced two great perils, Mr. Santmyer
and you were able to combat only one you'd be most
likely to tackle the most threatening first wouldn't
you?
