Z In the yernacular, the Overall fac
tory was put across. Put across by
the united action of progressive
/ citizens, who prefer industry to iner-
tia and push to palsy. 1t is stride
forward in Woodstock's development
and release from the groove which
has for years prevented the expan-
sion of the town. Naturally the flu
ture is in the lap of the gods, but
the beginning of this sort of activity
augurs well for the town, and let
this be start for even bigger things
Drop the hammers for while and
pucker up for a paen of praise for
those who have made the overall fac
tory possible.
Red Grange has become national
figure. Never heard of him? Why
bless your heart he is a football play
er from Illinois who relinquished his
rights to be a real "Rah Rah Rah"
boy to play as professional and to
kick the pig skin at about $4,000
per kick. Fact is Red has cleaned
up over half a million dollars during
the past week as football star. OF
course he won't get one of the col
lege diplomas written in a dead lam
guage and frequently given to dead
brains. He won't be entitled to a
few suffixes to his name but believe
me he will be prefixing the dollar
marks while many who are colleg-
lately entitled to diagnose for dy-
specifics or say may it plezuronor'
are buying magazines on the Install
ment plan. Which goes to prove
that many of the big winners are not
smothered in sheep skins.
OF course they didn't have any
Christmas then but we sometimes
wonder if even the wisdom of Solo
mon would have met the require
ments of the gift season. Think of
it. Seven hundred wives, princesses
and 800 concubines in one household
and Sol called upon to play Santa
Claus for the aggregation. Can't
you picture the jealousies sure to
have been aroused if wife No. 311I
got better toilet set than wife Pa.
Just imagine the howl in the harem
if No. Sc got a bracelet costing four
bits more than the one presented to
No. So With all of his wisdom we
do not think that the worlds wisest
man could have kept harmony in the
household in the Yuletide season. As
much as We appreciate his marital
courage, and make obeisance to his
wisdom we are persuaded that his
great learning would have been shot /
to pieces had he been compelled to
shop for the dusky layout which ate
peanut brittle in his palace and at
his expense.

as to give the States and the local
governments each their own sources
of revenue, for the taxation of prop
erty belonging to charitable, religious
and educational institutions when
such property is held for income-pro-
ducing or investment purposes, for
further general reduction of the Fed
eral income tax, for abolition of in
come tax publicity and for reduc-
least in proportion to the reduction
heretofore made or to be made in con-
nection with taxes on income proper.
THE taxation of estates by the Fed
eral Government to the extent to
which it is levied destroys the basis
of taxation by the State and local gov
ernments upon such property" the
resolutions point out. The association
declares that the present double tax
alton is confiscatory, and that plan
should be worked out Immediately
whereby property is taxed only once.
1t indorses the recommendation of
President Coolidge that a uniform
State law upon the subject be pre-
pared.
In regard to a separation of the
sources of State tax funds from the
sources of local tax funds the associa-
ton favors the principle that taxes
upon real estate be devoted to local
community needs, and that State eX-
pense be paid out of taxes realized
from other sources, such as franchise

taxes, corporation taxes, excise, gaso-
line and automobile taxes and similar
sources.
The tax upon capital gains includ-
ed in the income tax law of the United
States is tax differing in kird from
the income tax proper, and of source
not usually included as income, the
resolutions point out.
The association favors the exemp-
ton from taxation of all property of
bona fide religious, educational and
charitable institutions in so far as
they may actually be used for the
purposes for which the organizations
were formed. But 1t opposes exemp
ton of property held for investment
or income-producing purposes, even
though the income may be used for
the support of the organization
Where the purpose Is divided it urges
a taxation of that part of the value
used for income producing purposes.
The availability of large sums of
money, such as the surplus now being
created by Federal taxation, tends to
governmental extravaganza when such
sums are not actually needed by the
Government, the resolutions further
hold They urge reduction in taxes at
the earliest possible moment.

REALTORS URGE
TAX ABOLITION
Want Elimination of Federal
Inheritance, Estate and
Gift Assessments.

Abolition of all Federal inheritance,
estate and gift taxes is urged by the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards as a step toward more
equitable distribution of taxation, Fed
eral, State and local.
The association further declares its
belief that the imposition of an es-
tate tax as such is unsound and I'M
fair, and that such succession taxes,
if levied, should be by way of tax
upon the legacy received, and not a
tax based uponsthe total amount of
the estate left by the decedept.
The association, in resolutions pass
ed at it's recent annual convention in
Detroit, outlined its immediate legis-
lative objectives in regard to taxation
adjustment. The resolutions follow
the general national program for tax
adjustment adopted by the national
realtor body at its annual meeting in
Dallas, Tex, in January of the pres.
ent year.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 17-Fed-
eral Judge T. Blake Kennedy is sched-
uled to rule this morning on the ques.
ton Of whether Mahlon T. Everhart.
wealthy cattleman and son-in-law of
Fall, may be excused from testifying
regarding his delivery of $3.50 900 in
Liberty bonds to the First National
bank Of Pueblo, Colo, that are said
to have been deposited to the credit
of Fall.
These bonds are supposed to have
passed between Sinclair and Fall in
connection with the Teapot deal, fol.
lowing their distribution by the Con-
tinental Trading Co., Canadian will
o'-the-wisp corporation that had a
hazy career before its records were
destroyed in August, 1923, after a
profit Of some 100000 had accrued
from its brokerage Of millions Of bar
rels of oil.

on the ground that such answer might
tend to incriminate him.
Without Everhart's testimony
which is highly important link in
tracing the bonds from the Continen-
tai Trading company thru Sinclair to
Fall the government will admittedly
be confronted with seemingly impass-
able barriers, and it was limited that
the fraud and bribery charges of the
governments case might be faced
with collapse if Everhart's testimony
is not secured.
After a few preliminary questions
Everhart was excused by the court
from answering questions on the
ground that his testimony might tend
to incriminate him.

sent to wage reductions the work can
be brought back to New York. This
same story is being told to the cities
out of New York by our faithful rep
resentatives. A production inquisition
goes on while thousands of workers
are walking the streets idle, hungry
and destitute. A stop must be made to
this harmful policy.
"3. We demand that the two New
York joint boards, including the cut
ters, amalgamate into one joint board.
We hold that the organization must
be unified before we can be successful
in our fight against the bosses. We
cannot and should not permit the con-
tinuance of a situation where in one
firm one section Of the trade goes out
on strike while the other remains
working.
"A. We demand that the locals in
a given branch of the industry be
amalgamated into one local. We be-
lieve that il IL is possible for the
Italians, Lithuanians in Chicago, Cleve-
land, Rochester, Pittsburgh, Boston
and in all other clothing centers,
pressers, operators and tailors in the
same branch of the industry to belong
to one local, there is no reason why
IL cannot be done in New York. The
division Of the workers into separate
locals benefits the bosses and is ad-
vantageous to the politicians OF the
various locals. 1t brings only disaster
to the workers in the shops"
The names OF the seven Chicago
members of the Amalgamated who
we're taken from their jobs are: II.
Bromorski, Helen Kaplan, J. Lleber-
man, s. Miller, Sam Simonian, II.
Kahn and J. Pinto. Levin sneeringly
told them, that II they wanted Jobs

Party are with Local Of New York
in this fight against the reactionary
bund who are now using the once
militant Amalgamated as a mich COW.
Levin cannot blind the membership
with this kind OF smoke screen.
The leafiet which so aroused the
wrath OF Hillman and his Chicago
lackey Levin, tears the progressive
camouhage from the faces of the class
collaborationist leaders Of the Anal
gamated. It says:
Now, after ten years existence, we
will do well to soberly look into the
affairs Of our organization. When we
observe closely the events, we find
that with the birth Of the Amalga-
mated, It's gaining Of members and
prestige, It also carried with it a large
number OF the professional officials of
the United Garment Workers Union.
This degenerated element never gave
up the hope or turning our union into
the paths Of the old corrupted machine.
IL Is but now that they commence 70

Instead Of fighting against the
bosses, instead Of seeking to improve
the conditions of the workers in the
shops, our union officials are under
taking business ventures. They seek
prestige thru the maneuver OF money
which the workers invest In the
various business enterprises, instead
OF seeking prestige thru carrying on
a fight In the interests OF the workers.
And 80 they lose out.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 1.-THE
Illinois Manufacturers Association is
spending thousands of dollars to de-
feat the bill now before the Illinois
legislature to limit the labor Of women
to eight hours per day, six days per
week. The manufacturers are con-
Quoting a strong lobby at Springfield,
and are sending Legislative service
to all manufacturers within the organ
ization, free Of charge.
The latest letter sent to all mem.
bers of the manufacturers association
shows that the manufacturers are in
terested In only one thing at Spring
field--in guarding their profits by op-
posing bills aimed to raise the living
standard OF the workers.
"The Illinois Manufacturers Asso.
citation is watching your interests at
Springfield very carefully" says the
letter to the manufacturers. you are
urged to read diligently the pink sheet
as 1t comes to you following each
Legislative day. Let US know regarding
any bills in which you are especially
interested. Many matters Of vital I'm.
portance to the industries are being
considered, and the only way that the
Legislators can act InteIllgentIy 10 to
get your expression Of views"

inian and Hungarian folk dances. The
applause that followed showed that
the workers recognized real art. The
Finnish Athletic society performed a
most unique exhibition with hammers
and sickles ending with the crossing
Of the hammers and sickles. The ap-
plause was tremendous.
The Freiheit Singing society sang
some numbers for which 1t is famous.
Pageant Wonderful Spectacle
All expectancy was conferred upon
the Paris Commune Pageant, for
which the comrades had been rehears-
ing so faithfully and which had re-
ceived so much notice in the capital
list press owing to the recent arrests.
The reporters Of the capitalist papers
were there in full force, to witness the
overthrow of the American govern
ment"
This spectacle was wonderful. The
scenario by Comrade Carlin dealt with
the outstanding features of the Paris
Communicable proclamation of the
Commune, two sessions of the revolu-
tionary council, the last one ending
with the announcement that the
troops Of the enemy had taken Paris
and the struggle was coming to an
end. The slaughter Of the workers Of
Paris and the execution of four of the
heroes depicted the gigantic struggle
of the workers to establish their
power. The prologue showed the
workers of Moscow assembled before
memorial column on which they laid
wreath in memory of the comrades
who died in Paris in 1871, the story
being told by Comrade Carl Brodsky.
The scenic and lighting effects were
excellent. The pageant was directed
by DR.. Arkatoff assisted by Comrade
Sadie Amter. Thunderous applause
showed the appreciation of the huge
crowd assembled.
This first attempt by the Commun-
lists of New York to stage a mass pro-
duction has been very successful and
is the beginning of mass productions
of similar and larger nature.
