Dill further declared that Sinclair
hired Archie Roosevelt and kept him,
because Theodore asked him to hire
him and he was under obligations lat
er for the assistance Theodore had
given him getting the Teapot Dome
lease from Fall. For Remember it
was Theodore Roosevelt, the acting
Secretary of the Navy who, while
Mr.. DENLY was away, ordered the ma
rines to Wyoming to drive all oil
claimants off the Teapot Dome for
Sinclair, to whom the government had
made the lease more than three
months previously. That was July 30,
1922, just 20 days after Sinclair had
given Archie the $1,000 raise in salary
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year.
II am not dealing in gossip or ru-
mors," says Dill, Il am giving you
the facts from the records, and the
records show that Mr.. Roosevelt is
more deeply involved, in these oil lease
scandals than Mr.. DENLY ever was,
yet Mr.. Coolidge, whom you are told
can be relied upon to act in the peo-
pies interest and punish every guilty
party, keeps Theodore Roosevelt in
office"

OFFICIALS
NOTED FOR LOBBYING

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The
business of the treasury department
is to administer the finances of the
government. The treasury has no
business lobbying against pending
legislation and supplying congress
with information that may be mis-
understood.
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
made the above comment in connec-
ton with the treasury estimates on
the cost of the soldiers bonus. The
veterans bureau has estimated this
cost will be $2,119,0 100000, while the
treasury department says it will total
$4,560, 100000.
"There is a reason for this discre-
pancy," said Senator Walsh. 1.-THE
treasury actuary reaches his total by
charging interest against the govern
ment, in addition to each yearly APP
preparation, thereby more than doub-
ling the actual cost.
"Of course, this theory is absurd.
It is another attempt to juggle fig
ures on the cost of the adjusted COM
pensation bill % mislead congress and
the people.
eff this theory of estimation were
correct, then interest should be
charged against all appropriations,
such as those for the army and
navy"
The treasury department has beer
so open in its lobbying against the
soldiers bill, that it has been ignored
by the house ways and means COM
mittee. The lawmakers called upor
the veterans bureau for their actu.
arial information.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-With
Fall, DENLY and Daugherty out, Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, is next up as a tar
get for Senate action. Senator C. c.
Dill of Washington, is this week pro-
posing to demand action on his reso-
luton calling for RoOsevelt's resig-
nation.
Dill, in a public address has con-
densed his entire condemnation Of
Roosevelt and set forth the grounds
upon which he believe Roosevelt ought
to follow in the footsteps Of the three
ex-cabinet members.
"The record shows" Dill said, THAT
Mr.. Roosevelt was formerly a men,
Der of the Sinclair Oil company and
his wife owned a considerable block
Of stock in that company. 1t shows
that after the war, in August, 1919,
he induced Sinclair to appoint his
brother, Archie, to a good position in
the Sinclair Oil company at a salary
of $4,000 per year. On February l,
1920, the salary was raised $1,000.
On May 1, 1921, two months after
Theodore Roosevelt became assistant
Secretary, Archie's salary was raised
$4,000, making the total $4,000 per
year. That was just 30 days before
Theodore carried the executive order
to the White House for the President
to sign, which transferred the oil
lands from DENLY to Fall. On July /,
1922, three months after the signing
of the lease on Teapot Dome, Sinclair
raised Archie's salary $1,000 more, OF

congress was more moderate. The
line of policy of the Communist In
ternational is straight one for win
ming the masses of the proletariat
in every country in order to head
their revolutionary battles for power.
The fourth congress drew this line
as firmly and with as much convic-
ton as it is being done at present.
There is, however, a difference in
the temper of the delegations. Be
tween the fourth and the fifth con-
gress some Communist leaders have
tried to interpret the united front
tactics and especially the slogan of
a farmer-labor government in an op-
portunist fashion. Such interpreta-
ton proved injurious in Germany, in
Bulgaria, in Poland. The bulk of the
party membership has overthrown
the opportunistically inclined leader
ship in the German party and re-
placed it by left executive commit
tee; the party membership is working
up to a reputation of compromising
tendencies in nearly every section
OF the comintern. Past experiences
give the delegates a special zest, a
heated animation in combating the
right opponents. The words "oppor-
tunist inclinations" and "opportunist
deviations" are spoken of with CON
tempt and derision. One has no pa
thence with discredited right opposi-
tons. One has no interest for differ
ences between right" right CENTER"
and center" The barometer Of the
congress points decidedly towards the
left, which means Rolshevism and

The General Staff of the World Revolution

No, revolution here is not a theo-
retical conception formulated on the
basis of scientific speculation. Revo-
luton is a fiery reality. 1t has not
yet won a victory in any of the Eu-
ropean countries, but it is daily
nourished by the decomposition Of
capitalism, by growing burdens of
militarism, by increasing ferocity of
despairing bourgeoisie, by deepening
misery and starvation of the work
ers, by the avalanche of an agrarian
crisis, by mounting discomfort of col
onial peoples, by the bankruptcy of
social-democratic and trade union bu-
reaucratic leaders who are helping to
mend the breaches in the structure of
exploitation. The revolution is in the
very tissue Of european social organ
ization. This is why the Congress
talks of revolution as if it were the
most commonplace order Of bust
ness. This is why the delegates talk
of preparations for revolutionary
fights as if they were members of a
military general staff in war time
This is war time in Europe. There
may be a lull in military activities,
but the war is on. The maneuvering
for battle continues.
A detail: some of the parties here

represented are illegal in their coun-
tries. Some delegates have come to
Moscow under assumed names and
may face grave dangers upon return
ing. Bot nobody seems to be upset
over such prospects. They are taken
for granted. They are a part of re.
yolutionary life. "Illosality" today
may turn out Dictatorship tomorrow,
and priscH is an tntegral element OF
a Comm ist career.
3. This is a European Congress.
There was a time when an interna-
tional Communist congress resembled
a full sized man surrounded by Lii
putians. The Russian Communist
Party doomed up as the one and only
great mass party consolidated into
fighting batallions. The others were
in a process of formation. The cen
ter OF gravity, therefore, lay in the
East of Europe. Russia not only led,
Russia dictated. The word of Russia
was law. In the present Congress,
the leading influences OF the Russian
Communists remain in full force.
The wisdom, insight, experience,
knowledge Of the best Russian com
rades animates the whole Internation-
al as ever before. The loss of the
greatest of all political leaders, Lenin,
leaves, Of course, a colossal gap; his
leadership can be replaced by none;
yet, all the, other brains Of the Rus
sian revolution are at wosk. and the
western Communists look up at them
for direction, aid, criticism. approval.
Still, the center of gravity is grad
ually moving westward. The Euro
pean parties become a factor more
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-02

and more decisive, not because the
Russian Communist party is dimin-
ishing in influence, but because the
other parties become more consoli-
dated and gain in experience. The
German party is a force at the pres
ent congress-. Next come the French
comrades. Third in Importance are
Italy and Czecho-Slovakia, the former
for the revolutionary possibilities the
Italian situation is fraught with, the
latter for its solid party of 10000 in
a country whose entire population
hardly exceeds thirteen million. Due
to the key position Of Great Britain
among imperialist states, the British
Communist party is given much at
tention. Western communism is a
very active force both at the plenary
sessions of the congress and in the
numerous commissions. Ruth Fisher,
the leader of the German Communist
party, has been the reporter of the
most important congress commission
the commission on the political re-
port of the executive committee.
Thalheimer, tho of the minority of
the German party, is co-reporter, with
Bucharin, on the program question.

Northern Flight Starting.


The northern flight, the name
given by hunters to the major
part of the Fall migrations of
waterfowl to the southland, is on
Hunters of the northern tier of
states know this already, for they
are beginning to get in their first
ticks at the bluebills, butterballs,
whistlers and other late ducks.
The vanguard of the real flight
has started, flying in straight
lines, well drilled, scooting over
passes and other places that the
local ducks, or those that tarry on
the way have learned to avoid.
Hunters of the middle and
southern states can expect a good
flight this Fall. A much better
one than last year, according to
all reports. The reason lies in the
food and nesting conditions in the
north. This year there was plenty
of water, making many sloughs
which last year did not exist. The
crops of rice, celery, and other
duck foods were good, and the re-
suit is that the ducks Matched in
large numbers and found plenty
of feed. It looked for while
early this Fall as though we were
going to have an early flight. The
first shooting at local birds was
barely over when the first north
crners appeared, we'll focked up.
But they were a false alarm.
The northern flight usually
comes through in one of two ways.
Either it dribbles through all Fall,
or it comes with a roar, on the
wings of cold, sleety, northern
blast, and passes in a few days.
This year it looks as though we
would have a bang-up good flight
just as soon as the first cold
weather comes. What started out
to be a quick, cold Fall, has turned
balmy, at least in the northern
states, and has held the ducks
back. 1t SENS sure, however, that
the Fall will not merge into Win
ter by slow degrees, but that cold
weather will come suddenly. And
when it does, get out on the passes
and in the marshes.
There are lots of ducks up north
this year. When the first focks
of bluebills come scooting low
over the water, charging in com
pact formation, appearing sud-
denly, flock after flock, in the
morning mist, you'd better get
out. There are lots of ducks, but
all the data I have been able to
gather indicates that they're go
ing to come through in a big
bunch.

Calm Water.

The other day l was walking
along a crowded street. | was
busy | kept running over in my
mind the matter concerning which
| was going on an errand. | looked
at nobody, though l was in the
thick of a crowd. Nobody looked
at me. We were humping into
each other, pushing each other. 1t
was late in the afternoon and l
was tired. My face felt grimey
and drawn, and l was tired. So
was everybody else.
For some reason or other
glanced into the show window of
an art shop: one of those places
where you can buy colored prints
of popular paintings. My eye fell
directly on the picture of an
Indian.
This Indian was sitting in a
canoe. He was not sitting in the
regular way, but was squatting in
the middle of the canoe, facing
the gunwhale, and was peering in
to the water. The canoe was list
ing. The water was wonderfully
blue, and the Indian was peering
into it. That is, l thought at first
that he was peering into it. But
when | stopped and went close,
saw that he was holding a fishline
In his hand. He was watching the
fishline, or perhaps he was watch
ing the fish nibbling at the hook.
A low sun, apparently setting,
though it was out of the picture,
shone on the Indian and the
canoe. Behind the canoe was
rocky ledge, a sort of cove, and
the sun turned this into gold.
There sat the Indian, fishing,
while his canoe drifted lightly on
the calm water and the sun, about
to set, bathed everything in gold.
Why was it that when l went on,
| felt no longer tired? And my
errand, which a few minutes ago
semed to hold the destiny of the
world in the hollow of its hand,
didn't seem so ALFRED important
after all.
| had heard the call of the out
doors. 1t spoke to me, not so
much from the picture, as from
the far streams, the deep blue
lakes and the silent forests that
l had known. l remembered that

who are fartherest from a town
where dental work can be had.
For this same reason the schools
in the village of Eagle River, and
within short distance from
Eagle River, will not be visited by
the dental wagon this season. The
County Nurse desired to hold the
dental clinic at every school in the
county, but since the services of
the dentist could be secured for
only limited time, the clinic has
been held where there appeared to
be the greatest need for it. Ar
rangements are being made with
DIR. Guth to take care Of the chill
dren in the rural schools near
Eagle River and in Eagle River,
on Saturdays, during the coming
winter.
The dental clinic will have to be
brought to a close by November
1st, as DIR. Guth has work to COM
plete at Pelican, before taking
over the dental practice of DR.. j.
E. Frankel at Eagle River, which
he will do on November 10th of
this year.
This travelling dental clinic is a
new experiment in public health
work in this state, and so far, has
been decided success. Miss Marie
Pulls, Field Advisory Nurse of the
State Department of Public Health
Nursing, was in Villas county on
October 18th, for the purpose of
inspecting the work of the travel
ing dental clinic. A very favor
able report of the work of the
dental clinic was made by Miss
Pulls to the State Department, and
it is expected that the dental
wagon will be duplicated in other
counties in the state where the
conditions are similar to those in
Villas county.

Taxes LIN To Voters.

If taxes be burdensome, as they
assuredly are, the people have only
themselves to blame, for the rem
edy lies in an intelligent use of
the ballot on election days.
Determine before voting how
candidate stands on the tax ques-
ton. Pin him right down to def
mite explanations. Taxpayers are
being bled white to support num-
erous and useless boards and COM
missions many of them duplicat-
ing work to effect a pretense Of
necessity, and creating in the first
instance as "lying-in hospitals for
faddists or political parasites.
The taxpayers have a right to
relief from such tax burdens
which have grown heavier and
heavier until to many they have
become almost confscatory.
Take for example the state taxes
assessed against the Southern Pa
cific in the single state of Califor-
MIA for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1924, amounting to $8,469,067.
This means that this corporation
paying its state taxes only, must
pay into the treasury of the state
of California more than $4,000
every day.
Some people imagine that be-
cause a corporation pays it they
are not concerned, but every dol
lar of such taxes paid by rail
road in indirectly paid by the
users of the railroad.
Taxes are included in the cost
of trar 9portation and are part Of
price paid for fruit, livestock,
lumber, shoes, suit of clothes, or
groceries, and the local dealer
tacks little on for good measure
to cover his own taxes.

What They Sell.

Newspaper editors make their
living out of the space in their

of going into a clothing store and
asking for a new hat, or into a

often have you asked your editor
for some of the space in his paper.
