Union Labor does not ask nor want
a division Of capital except through
the medium of legitimate exchange.
It believes that inflated values and
inflated incomes should be reduced by
proper sharing Of returns. It believes
that values should not be inflated to
a point that will automatically shut
a large class of citizens away from
the opportunity Of investment. Land
valued at $500 an acre Is direct
cause of migration from the farm.
The average tenant sees the impossf-
bility Of ever owning q farm. He
must face the alternative of either
contributing from twenty-five to fifty
per cent of his labor to the land own
er who never works or Of leaving the
farm for the factory where there is
vast opportunity for promotion and
bare possibility of ownership. He
decides in favor of the latter alter
native.
What America needs Is not men VINO
invest fortunes in going concerns, but
men who will use fortunes in develop
ing resources hitherto untouched.
The Methodists in general confer
ence session will do well to advise
their wealthy brethren to ues their
surplus cash in developing lands that
are now useless, instead Of holding i'm
proved lands at inflated values and
demanding that the public sustain
them while they become more wealthy.
The pioneers who reclaimed the
swamp lands of this state did a genu-
inc service for their posterity. But
the land owners of today for the most
part scarcely know the meaning of
service.

Union Labor recognizes the right
of farm owners who till the soil and
farm hands who are employed, to or
ganize for protection and higher
wages. Moreover it is recognized that
farm products must command a high
err market price if farm laborers are
to be better paid. But Union Labor
denies the legitimacy Of an organiza-
ton OF farmers or land owners for the
express purpose Of decreasing produe-
ton and forcing the government and
banks to lend money to the farm
owner in order to maintain the present
inflated land values.
Union Labor furthermore recognizes
the right of farmers and land owners
to organize for protection against the
Spectator in food products who rep
resents another class which refuses to
work yet determines to live off the
labor of others.
If the Methodist church, or any
other large denomination, will deal
with the foregoing questions in an
unbiased manner the action will have
the effect of restraining ablebodied
men who persist In living without
working while their capital works for
them.
The action may have an embarrass-
ing effect upon the denomination, for
there are many in every church who
have long since ceased from their
labors. To be pointed out as para
sites will be provokingly uncomforta-
Bile and may result in many leaving
the church II too fine distinctions
are drawn.
1t is not to be expected that any
church will go far enough to jeopar-
die its financial resources by ex-
GLIDING any of a parasitic tendency,
particularly II they are liberal In their
contributions.

An illustration to the point Is de-
rived from the ownership of farm
lands. Multiplied thousands of acres
of farm land are owned by men who
never handled a pillow or drove team
and who rarely if ever see the land
under cultivation.
Until the recent panic in the farm
ing industry it was considered a mark
of distinction for business or pro-
fesisonal man to own a farm. The
result was speculation in farm lands,
the abnormal increase in values, and
the distribution of profits between
the owners who never toiled on the
farm, and the tenants who were the
actual producers.
The result of the imitation of land
values was to automatically put farm
lands out of reach of men without
capital or whose capital was limited.
Business and professional men and
spectators invested small sums in
land and then waited for the rise in
values. Now they demand interest
on the inflated values. To attain their
aim they insist on obtaining help from
the government, to boost the price of
farm products, and to procure bank
ing assistance to a point where the
land will produce a profit for the
tenants and good interest on the in
Hated values. In other words they
want the government and the public
to make them rich far in excess of
their actual investment.
To put the question so that the or
binary proletarian can understand it
without difficulty the following illus
tration is to the point:
Thirty years ago a man invested
In Z4O acres of land at S35 an acre.
In ten years the value had increased
to 800 an acre. In twenty wears
more it had advanced to $4OO. The
owner now wants to pay taxes on the
$50 value and receive returns on the
S4OO value. If he could have realized
ms aim he might have settled down in
ldieness 20 years ago and refrained

The Methodist Episcopal church will
make for the first time in the history
of American churches an intensive
study of questions pertaining to large
incomes, If the plan outlined in the
Social Service Bulletin" is carried
out at the ensuing general conference.
The Bulletin presents some inter-
esting questions about income and
ownership which not only the church,
but the government and especially
the laboring classes would like to
have answered. Listen:
as unearned income Christian"
Are workers sharing equally with
business groups in the income from
increased production ?"
"Should income be based upon
earnings or need or both?"
'Do we concede the right to un-
limited income?"
"Do we concede the right of the
owner to continual income from CAPT.
tai contributed by the public in the
form of surplus reinvested In the
business?"
do we concede the right to draw
income without working for its pro-
duction ?"
By way of answer they quote ap-
provingly the following:
"The man who lives by owning,
without working, is necessarily sup
ported by the industry of someone
else and is therefore too expensive a
luxury to be encouraged"
The bulletin closes by asking:
"HOW MUCH INCOME is CHRIS

from work during the remainder Of
his natural life.
The illustration is not overdrawn.
Land values have actually increased
in this abnormal fashion, and the land
owner has the unlimited nerve to ask
the government, the banks and the
public to sustain him in his specula-
tons. If they do not he proposes to
organize and force the government
and the banks to support him and the
public to foot the bills. YET HE is

Death sentences and sentences to
long prison terms have been decreed
by the soviet so-called courts as the
result Of trials which the American
Federation of Labor, in common with
the civilized world, has denounced as
farcial and political.
Three men and one woman have
been sentenced to death at Kiev and
twenty have received sentences rang
ing in length from five to ten years.
The victims in this latest soviet
outrage are known as among the best
OF Russia's intellectuals. Many of
them are professors of distinction.
The charges were "counter-revolu.
ton" which means anything from be-
ing. an out-spoken opponent of the
soviet regime. This "crime" is COM
parable to being a democrat in the
United States during a Republican
administration. or vice versa. 1t is q
"crime" which does not exist in civil

These questions are considered So
cialistic by all owners-that is they
raise the question of socialism. The
trend of socialism has been to do
away with capital theoretically, and
therefore undermine one of the fun
damentals of our system of govern
ment.
Labor on the whole does not be-
lieve that capital should be destroyed
1t believes that the income from
capital should be properly and equit-
ably distributed between the owner
and the workman who is the actual
producer Of capital whether the title
rests in one or the other or both.
The menace lies always In the i'm.
proper and unequitable distribution
of profits.
