NO MAN CAN BLOW HOT AND

By JOHN p. FREY
(In international holders JOurnaD

More than one international Union has been com
PEELED to take action because of the activities Of members
of the socaled Trade Union Educational League, Who
using their trade union membership for the purpose
of carrying out the policies of the Trade Union Educa
tona League within the trade union One of these or
CARNATIONS is the international Ladies Garment Work
erS UnOn which foundthat members of the Trade Union
Educational League endeavoring to carry out the
descriptive program of that organization inside OF the
trade unon that is to say these members of the Trade
Union Educational League receiving instructions
from their organization what they were to do in the
trade union where they had their membership
On November II there was meeting of the general
executive board of the International Ladies Garment
Workers in Chicago at which representatives of the local
executive board present. On this local executive
board were six members belonging to the Trade Union
Educational League. They given the alternative OF
resigning from the Trade Union Educational League or
resgnng from the executive board They chose resign
from the executive board which ample evidence t0
prove that their first allegiance to the Trade Union
Educational League and that the charges which had been
brought against them well grounded.
The right of to their own OplnlonsscannOt bel
questioned but the right of to do what they want
is entirely different matter for while men have right
to think they choose they do not have the right to
double cross the right to msead the right to cause
division in the trade union movement or the right to take
part in dual organization. Those who believe that theI
ganzaon than the trade union movement are within
their rights, but When members Of the Trade Un0n
Educational League they endeavor to carry out the poll
cies of that organization within their trade unon and
these policies intended to disrupt trade unions then
they are longer within their rights and the trade union
movement is fully justified in enforcing upon them the
rule that they cannot belong to both organizations at he
time, but must take their choice between the or
the other Common sense well as protection to the or
ganzaton makes such rule necessary, for member
be permitted to actively participate in any Organlza-
ton which has for its object the destruction OF the trade
union, or the creating of division in its ranks.

SOME CHANGES
WHICH AFFECT
TAX RETURNS

The following statement is issued
by G. w. Schwaner, Collector of In
ternal Revenue of the 9Th District of
Illinois.
Changes wrought by births, deaths
and marriages during the last year
affect materially income tax returns
for the year 1923. Millions of babies
were added to family circles. For
each, the parents, in addition to the
personal exemptions allowed married
couples, are entitled to a $500 credit
for a dependent.
Boys and girls who became self
supporting, and whose parents allow
them the use of their earnings without
restriction, form new class of tax
| payers. Each must file an income tax
| return and pay tax on his or hei
| net income, if such income was 81 ,00O
| or over. The earnings of dependent
minor children who have not been
Observation-Disclosures the use OF
their earnings by their parents-must
be included in the parents return OF
income.
Widows and widowers who lost
their spouses during the year 1925
are especially affected. Unless re.
married on or before December 81
1923, or the head of a family, they
are allowed only the 81 900 exemption
granted a single person.
Widows and widowers are not re.
quired to show on their individual re.
turns the income of husband or wife
up to the time of death. The income
of decedent is considered separately
and a return must be filed by the
executor or administrator of the es.
tate. The executor or administrator
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-02-29

who makes return for a decedent
is entitled to claim for him his full
personal exemption, according to his
status as single or married person
at the time of death.
In an individual return the tax
payers status as of December 81
1923, determines the amount of his
exemptions and credits. If on that day
the taxpayer was married and living
with wife or husband, the exemption
is $1,000 if the couples net income
for 1923 was $4,000 or less and $4,000
if the net income exceeded $4,000. II
single, the exemption is $1,000.
If, on December 81, 1923, a single
person, because of some moral or legal
obligation, was supporting in his home
one or more relatives over whom he
exercised family control, he was the
head of family and is entitled to the
same exemption granted a married
person. If his support of such rela-
tives ceased during the year, he is en-
titled only to the 81 900 exemption,
If dependent dies during the year
the $500 credit for such a person is
not allowed.
Taxpayers are reminded that the
period for filing returns ends at mid
night of March Is. Failure to file
within the time prescribed renders the
delinquent liable to heavy penalties.

DIR. Frank Mathis, of Colorado,
speaking at the Methodist church OF
Champaign in series of evangelistic
meetings, strikes a blow at Sabbath
dissertation. He condemns Sunday
baseball, and Sunday excursions, en-
phasizing the point that the nation
will be UNNECESSARILY better off moral
ly when influential people park their
automobiles near the churches instead
of making Sunday excursions to sum-
mer resorts for mere pastime.
Doubtless the evangelist is right.
But when the American laborer wants
to hear is a message direct from the
heart condemning the right of Ameri-
can capital to force Labor to work
seven days in the week.
Laboring men on the whole are
much more religious than they are
given credit Cor being. The fact that
many of them are compelled to work
seven days or seven nights week
is more productive of harm than foi
the American people to turn Sunday
into a holiday for recreation and en-
tertainment. Many laboring men are
prevented from worshiping God OF
the Sabbath because of the character
of their work.
Man is a social being. When he i:
compelled to labor even six days il
the week he feels that he has legiti
mate right to make the Sabbath con

Increased taxation on the basis of
increased property values is to be eX-
pected in any progressive community,
because taxation is legitimate plan
of raising funds for maintenance of
public Improvements. Increased tax
alton is a logical sequence of general
community development.
There need be no expectation of a
general tax decrease except upon the
basis of community stagnation. This
should be understood by all who urge
decreased taxation.
The best method of decreasing taxa
ton is to proportion taxes equitably
among the citizens of community
and to use wisdom in the distribution
of taxes that are obtained through the
legitimate methods of sane govern
ment.
There should be equitable adjust
ment of city and farm taxes. Some
enterprises may jutsly be assessed
in larger amounts than others. To
make this adjustment is the work of
sane tax boards, and requires a high
degree of efficiency in accounting.
The burden of taxation may be re-
duced in localities where taxation is
not equitably distributed. If it can
be shown that the returns in any bust
ness or from any property are not
proportional equitably as compared
to the taxes upon such business or
property it is obviously the business
of the tax boards to make an adjust
ment that will insure equity.
But to urge stagnation in commun-
ity development ON the ground that
such development requires a higher
tax levy is the height of folly. 1t is
possible to have lower taxes, much
lower taxes, by refusing to vote for
hard roads, new school buildings or
other public Improvements that are
obviously for the good of a commun-
ity; but no sane, progressive citizen
desires his community to stagnate.
Street improvements enhance the
value of property immeasurably more
than the amount of increase in taxes;
public school buildings properly con-
structed with view to safety and
adequacy insure the proper care Of
children and their proper training
along educational lines; supervised
play for children, while it may be
viewed from one angle as a non.
