break with Social Democracy.
Lenin insisted with equal emphasis
upon the slogan of civil war being
opposed to the slogan of Burgfrieden
(civil peace). Since our polemical
discussions with Kautsky, we left ra-
deals in Germany had become &C
customed to formulate the slogan less
clearly; our slogan was the slogan of
mass action. The lack of clearness
of this slogan corresponded with the
embryonic condition of the revolu-
tionary movement in Germany in the
years 1921 and 1912, when we regar-
ded the demonstration made by the
workers of Berlin in the Tiergarten, at
the time of the struggle for universal
suffrage for the Prussian Diet, as the
beginning of the revolutionary strug-

Borland Law and Gas Tax.

The contention ia advanced that the

pose of raising Il fund tn maintain the
streets in good order-at least that
was the effect if not the intent of the
law-SuperSedes the Borland act
which imposes half of the cost of
street improvements on the owners of
abutting property. The two acts, it is
urged, are contradictory, and the later
act should prevail.
There is inequity in both acts. but
less in the latter than in the former.
The Borland law established wholly
unjust principle of defraying improve
ment costs. 1t viewed the street pave

ly TO the owners of adjacent property.

OF the whole community.
But the Borland law. despite this in
equity. has prevailed. with the result
that street improvements have put
severe and disproportionate burden
upon a few people and has retarded
development. Now it conflicts with
the gas-taX law. which provides that
the proceeds of a certain impost shall
be set aside for use for street-paving
purposes. Are those funds to be ap-
piled only 10 that part OF the cost

its memory remains. Some persis.ent

Tax-Collecting System.

The District is to have the best pos
sible system of keeping tax records
and making out tax bills and it seems
likely that the plan of mailing tax
bills will be adopted. The District
auditor and assessor have been au.
thorized by the Commissioners to visit
a number of large eastern cities to
study improved methods of keeping
tax ledgers and making out bills, with
a view to increasing efficiency in that

change has marked an improvement

Suffering in Germany.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The star:
The article of Paul V. Collins in
The Star of Monday, June 16, entitled
"In Today's Spotlight" containing
references to Brig. Gen. Charles G..
Dawes and Germany, ought to be
read by every one, especially those
who have been writing and denounc-
ing Germany as having hidden
army, boarded gold, the people living
in luxury and no one in need of food.
Mr.. Collins states true fact when
he says if Germany, even with all of
her mills running and other indus
tries working, could not dispose of
the output to other nations. how can
Germany collect in enough money to
pay the reparations?
There have been accounts in The
Star of "rich Germans spending their
money lavishly in She different cities
in Europe" Probably 1T may be
true people posing as Germans have
been doing this. Has any one ex-
plained to what race these people
calling themselves Germans belong?
The German Nationalists wanted to
confiscate their property and drive
them out of Germany.
The whole world is demoralized
financially and industrially because
France will not let go her grip on
the Ruhr. Because Germany cannot
get down to work, the industries and
farmers of the United States are suf-
fering because they have lost one of
their best customers in Germany.
