conditions. Even their golden rules
are not the same. The Jewish golden
rule used to be "An eye for an eye and
a tooth for a TOOTH" which was re-
placed by the christian golden rule,
Whatsoever We would have man to do
unto you, do We even so unto him."
Presently we find them supporting the
cause which they were so bitterly at
lacking before. The church has sup
ported Negro slavery until Negro slav-
cry was overthrown-supp to be
overthrow, l mean. At present the
churches are supporting capitalism
against the enlightened working class.
Friends, can fully understand why,
with some Of your comrades impris-
oned and your civil rights denied, you
have come to deny religion.
AS said the labor movement
should have place for bishops and a
place for Darwinian and MARKHAM
schools to encamp.
Capitalism is politically bankrupt
and the churches that support capital
ism are religiously bankrupt. The peo-
pie of the earth are looking for a
classics, raceless, warless world and
capitalism is always stirring up en-
nifty between nations and the races.

approximations could have anything

They cannot trade any longer on the
fall of Adam and the blood of Jesus.
They cannot appeal to a twentieth

of unemployment, disfranchisement,
lynching and all the other kinds of
hell that the church holds up to-real
hells, know as well as you do, which
should claim our attention.
You workers are saints outside the

This proposal will leave untouched
most of those incomes which are bas-,
ed exclusively on wages or salaries
and will at the same time limit all
possible incomes to $4,000 income
per year. This system Of taxation
will place the major portion upon
high incomes and will thus make
those pay for the expenses of gov
eminent who own it.
In connection with this tax question
it must be made clear that the gov
eminent is not a power which is over
and above all classes and in which
every inhabitant has an equal share
but that it is an instrument in the
hands of one class, the capitalists, and
used against all other classes who are
exploited by the capitalists.

COMRADES: This is my first pub
- lie appearance since my being
railroaded out Of the House of Bish-
ops of the Protestant. Episcopal
Church Steam-roIled is perhaps the
better phrase; perhaps was Jim
Crowed because 1 do not believe in all
this supernaturalism and symbolica-
lism Of the bible as it is literally in
terpreted Gentlemen, was put out
after being tried as hereto. Any
how, was not put out by trial for
the crime of heresy, whatever that
may be. The first zine bishops before
whom / was tried described me as be-
ing an extreme and dangerous hereto,
but did not define the word heresy,
nor did the judge. Then l faced
another judge and nine other bish-
ops, they too, did not say what heresy
is.
Living In Age of Science.
WTE ARE living in a different age
w now, an age of science, and he
resy is unknown in this age of science.
In the course of this lecture there
will be several references to the un-
finished case of the bishops against
me.
You workers think you can get
along without the bishops, but they
can't get along without you. They
need you. They need to understand
your point of view. They need to feel
the great religious significance of the
meetings like you do. You do not like
to have me speak of these meetings
as religious. But l do not come here
to say pleasing things to you.
Bishops Are Sinners.
T came to tell you the truth, and that
L is that the bishops and other preach
ars are sinners and that you are
the saints. They do no useful work.
That is why they are sinners. You
do lots of work, every stroke is a
sanity act. That is why you are
saints. Human acts depend upon
work.
1 am not at war with the church.
am simply trying to liberate it from
its Tuinous supernaturalisms. You
know that divided masses can not
get anywhere. l know that your
unions that are divided cannot get
anywhere. You have converted me to
your view l am now going to convert
you to mine. / shall not stray from
the subject of this meeting.
Workers Give Self.
TT is human life in action, and all
life is action; no action, no life.
Labor is human life, from the very
highest conceivable plane. For when
a man goes to work he gives himself
TO society more completely than any
mere philanthropist. A philanthropist
can give his money and then go and
play golf all day. The capitalist can
make his investment and then start
on trip around the world, but when
the worker contributes his labor he
has to give himself, he can not send
It by special messenger, he has to go
with 1t himself and stand by it thru
every minute of his working hours
every day Of every year.
The great cause Of labor, then,
is cause of humanity at bottom. 1t
is the greatest of all causes. 1t is
the greatest of all human movements.
The parasite group are generally SO
blinded by their beliefs that they can
not cooperate with it.

CITIES ROUTE
TOURISTS OVER
n. p. HIGHWAY

A. w. Tracy of the National Parks
Highway association, returned today
from motor trip in Minnesota in
which he enlisted the aid Of the
Minnesota cities between Fargo and
st. Cloud in supporting and routing
travellers over the National Parks
highway. One thousand six hundred
dollars has been pledged by the
cities thus far, he said.
Minnesota is keenly alive to the
boosting aspects Of the National
Parks highway. Mr.. Tracy said. One
Minnesota city on the highway.
which has kept check Of the travel,
reports an average Of 600 tourist
cars through there each day.
The cities have written Minneapo-
lis and St. Paul authorities, urging
them to route travellers over the Ma
tional Parks highway. and they have
agreed to do so. 1t is estimated that
this cooperation will increase the
amount Of travel throughout North
Dakota at least forty per cent.
On forty miles of the highway
Mr.. Tracy counted five cars from
California; 10, Iowa; l, Washington;
3, Nebraska; l, Indiana; l, Ohio:
10. North Dakota; l, Florida; q,
Michigan; l., Texas; 2, New York; 2
Ontario; 3, Wisconsin.
If that rate of travel were repre-.
sentative Mr.. Tracy has figured that
there would be from 600 to 700 cars
through the state each day.

RUIN IN EAST
PART0F STATE
Thousands of Acres Will be
Abandoned, o. w. Roberts
Finds on Tour

Thousands of acres of corn. flax
and potatoes in the Red River Val
ley will be abandoned, according to
q. w. Roberts. official in charge Of
the United States weather bureau
here. who returned yesterday from
an automobile tour of the state
from Bismarck east, with the cxcep-
tion Of the extreme south eastern
portion which he was unable to reach
because of muddy roads.
Mr.. Roberts said today that thou
sands of acres in the extreme east
portion of North Dakota, from '"e
Canadian border to the South Dakota
line. are still under water and crops
will be a total loss.
The best crops are along the 500
line from Oaks west, and along the
Northern Pacific line from Valyy
City west to Bismarck, and along the
Pingree- Wilton line, Mr.. Roberts said.
He declared that the crops along the
Pingrec- Wilton line are the best
since the road was completed.
"While ! found no damage from
rust, conditions are just right for
its propagation" MIR. Roberts said.
Wheat generally is good in all sec
tions, being further advanced in the
central portion of the state than
elsewhere. This is also true of flax,
which is already in blossom in some
sections. Winter rye is ripening.
although somewhat thin in places.
Pastures. ranges and meadows are in
excellent condition and much Of the
first crop Of alfalfa is already being
cut.
"One noticeable feature of diversi-
fled farming in the state is the in
creased number of sheep on farms.
Indications are that farmers are
again raising colts, most of which
are Of the draft type.
"The roads in the eastern section
of the state are q mass of mud,
making automobile traffic almost i'm
passible."
Mr.. Roberts will make tour of
the western portion Of the state in
few weeks.

LABOR CRISIS
THREATENS IN
COAL INDUSTRY

New York. July 1.--tR Serious
labor crisis thrcatenes the coal min,
ing industries of both the United
States and England.
John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers Of America,
has publicly denounced the "infam-
Gus conspiracy" in the bituminous
fields to beat the miners union, re-
quiring that unless the existing
agreement is carried out
a national shut down of soft coal
mines may be ordered.
In England big strike threatens
following formal notification by the
mine workers of their intention to
terminate the present agreement, a
move which Secretary Cook of the
Miners Federation, characterizes as
a "declaration of war"

TAX ON
CORPORATIONS
IS HELD LEGAL
Judge Berry, However, Is
Against Burleigh Rules
in Test Suit

The effort of the board Of county
commis ssioncrs to assess corporate
excess taxes against the Dunham
Lumber company. Bismarck, and
numerous other domestic corpora
tions, was checked bv the opinion
of Judge II. l.. Berry of district
court. in holding yesterday that the
county adopted the wrong procedure
in its attempt to collect the tax. The
suit Of the county against the Dun
ham Lumber company, in which the
latter appealed from a resolution of
the board of commissioners, was
decided for the lumber company.
Judge Berry, however, held that a
corporate excess tax is legal for the
years 1918 to 1922. inclusive, under
a law Of 1913. The corporate excess
tax for the current year, which State
Tax Commissioner T. II. II. Thore
sen proposes to assess, is levied un-
der an act Of 1923, and is involved in
suit heard before District Judge
Jansonius in Burleigh county.
Judge Berry held that corporate
excess tax is not tax on capital
stock. The corporate excess tax, he
stated in his memorandum opinion
"is arrived at by adding together the
value Of all Indebtedness, except the
indebtedness for current expenses,
and subtracting such sum so found
from the market value of the capital
stock and in case the capital
stock has no market value, then from
the actual value of the shares
of stock Of the corporation. The re-
mainder, if any, is what is known as
corporate excess"
Burleigh county, the court found,
failed to follow the law in entering
escaped taxes on the tax lists, and
therefore cannot enforce collection
of the tax. F.. o. Hellstrom Of Bis
marck, named specially by the coun-
ty commissioners to enforce collec-
tion Of the tax. sued many Bismarck
concerns, and sought to place corpor-
ate excess amounting to hundreds
Of thousands of dollars on the tax
rolls.
