when The BOSS
SABOTAGES IT is
Good BUSINESS
Especial to The Daily Worker,

TACOMA, Wash, April 15.-When
the workers in the lumber industry
unite, that is crime, called criminal
syndicalism. When they slow down
on production, that is crime, called
sabotage.
When the owners of the lumber in
dustry unite it shows what good bust
mes men they are. When they slow
down on production it is because of
an economic necessity.
One law for the workers, another
for the exploiters.
Over year ago the government
talked about proceeding against the
Douglas Fir Lumber and Exploitation
association as a combination in re-
straint of trade. But nothing was
done.
Sahotaeing. Production.
When prices are not high enough,
the lumber magnates agree to close
down for time in order to force
prices up. They are now running
most mills on a four-day.week basis
for this reason.
Now plan is under way, coming
apparently from the Coos Bay district,
to consolidate some rs lumber COM
panies under one ownership. This is
probably the forerunner Of a series
of consultations which will place the
entire lumber industry Of the north
west under one corporate ownership.
Hoover Picks Some Characters.
Herbert Hoover has just placed a
number Of Pacific coast lumbermen on
lumber export committee which is
to act as an advisory board to aid
the department of commerce in pro
noting the sale of lumber abroad.
Among them are Hammond of San
francisco, name well known to the
San Pedro l. w. W., and Osgood OF
Tacoma, who celebrated the new year
by discharging every man who dared
to take a holiday that day, and in
whose plant many men have been
seriously injured lately because OF
lack of proper safeguards about ma.
chimes and sawdust burners.
Major Griggs of the st. Paul and
Tacoma Lumber company, head of the
Douglas Fir Exploitation body, has
Just bought new home for $4,000.

SOVIET
JAPAN TREATY
SCARES LONDON

LONDON, April 15-The British
foreign Office still continues its anti
Soviet campaign with undiminished
vigor. The latest attack on the Soviet
Union is in the publication of an in
spired story alleging to be summary
of secret protocol between Russia
and Japan providing for certain .mu-
tually favorable conditions in the
event either country became en-
broiled with another nation.
According to the foreign office story,
the Soviet government makes certain
concessions to Japan in return for
which the latter agrees not to recog-
nize the cession Of Bessarabia to Rou-
mania and promises to back Soviet
before the league of nations interests
involved in previous decisions by that
body
The chief importance of the story is,
the fear of Soviet power, which hangs
over the British ruling class.
Hungary Brltain's Ward.
LONDON, April 15.-The influence
of Austen Chamberlain was able to
cause the failure of ratification OF the
trade agreement signed between So
Wet Russia and Hungary but never
ratified by the Hungarian government.
April IL was set as a time limit on
ratification. The Hungarian govern.
ment asked for more time but Moscow
made stipulations which showed that
1t did not consider a treaty with the
Horthy government a matter OF vital
Importance. Hungary recognized the
Soviet regime when the labor party
government Of Britain was in once.

AS another evidence of the fact
that an era of decentralization of
population is almost here, we need
merely to point to the rapid growth
of suburbs surrounding our great
cities. Human nature rebels against
the noise, confusion, and discomfort
of living amid piles of brick walls on
a busy boulevard. Most people who
live in our great cities do so because
of the force of necessity. They all
long for the day when they may be
able to own a home out away from
the confusion of the metropolitan
centers.
Before Professor Booring carries
his prophesy much farther, he should
give the subject little more study.
Communities like Kennewick are
likely to grow and develop during
the coming years, while great cities
will cease to expand at the rate re-
corded during the past decade.

means to avoid paying heavy taxes,
There are tax free securities, pro-
visions permitting certain deductions
for depreciation, inventory losses.
and so forth. Wealthy men can al
ways employ specialists who are well
enough trained to find loop holes in
any law that Congress may pass.
So it becomes evident that a lower
rate might mean heavier tax collec-
lions from the wealthy classes.
A basic economic law applies to
taxation just as it applies to indus
try, and business. It is the law that
Henry Ford and other national fig
ures have observed -thruout their
careers. It might read: can excess
sive margin of profit reduces volume
and automatically reduces the total
amount of profit" Likewise excessive
tax rate automatically dries up the
source of revenue.

WHAT IT SHOWS

THE publicity clause of the income
= tax law has probably accom-
plished one thing: to-wit, it has
proved effectively the futility of a
policy of soaking the rich.
Those who scanned the pages Of
metropolitan papers two weeks ago
found there the names of many ma
tionally known figures in the world
of finance and industry, and how
great must their surprise have been
to learn that many Of these wealthy
men paid comparatively small tax.
These small payments were not
evidence of illegal evasion of the law.
They merely prove that excessive
rates on large incomes do not ne
cessarily throw the burden of gov
eminent on the shoulders of the veal
thy.
There are many ways for men of

NOT A pRoPHEsY
DRoFEssoR Booring of Columbis

DROFESSOR Booring of Columbia
L University estimates that the
population of New York City will be
100000 within forty years. Chi
cago, Philadelphia, and Detroit will
also boom ahead during the same per-
iod, he believes. In other words he
predicts that the cities of today will
be mere villages in comparison to
the vast metropolitan centers of to-
morrow.
All interesting no doubt, but a
rather unimaginative view of the
future. His forecast is based upon the
facts of the past. It fails to take cog
nizance of the factors that may make
the future development of our coun-
try vastly different from the events
of it's past history.
Many observers fully as intelligent
as Professor Booring believe that our
great cities are doomed. They see in
improved transportation facilities, on
railroads, on roads, and in the air,
an influence that will cause people
to migrate away from great centers.
Super power systems, the transmits
sion of electricity over great areas,
and the many advantages that small
communities can offer to factory own
ers and managers is all going to lead
to a decentralization of industry.
And population always follows in
dustry.

STA to combat the rapacity of those
in authority in that benighted land
is the right method, and those who
part of a clever campaign having it's
hold that over-production talk is
origin in that element which seeks to
keep the farmer from being his own
middleman.
Over-production is without question
one of the most ancient explanations
of economic depression and regard
less of the correctness Of the claim,
it is significant that the propaganda
in it's behalf, in the case of agricul-
ture. has no more enthusiastic sup
porters than the middleman. OF
course, the majority of those who
give over-production as the cause OF
the plight Of the farmers, are as hon.
est in their belief as are the pro-
ponents of the deflation theory, the
inequalities of the tariff reason, the
oyertaxation claim, the ineptness Of
the farmer in business assertion, and
the several other doctrines that get
so much circulation.
B. F. Yoakum, who has made an
exhaustive study of American agri-
culture, says there is no over-pro-
duction and that its advocates are
only drawing a herring across the
trail. Certainly until agriculture has
followed the example of manufactur-
ing in cutting marketing costs and
procures proper distribution there
cannot be successfully held, that
there are over-supplies. And then,
has anyone considered that system
older than the first Rameses can be
changed in so short period as CO.
operative marketing has been tried?

ON GUARD AGAINST WILD CAT
STOCKS

a WALLA WALLA banker az
a dressing the Advertising club
there Wednesday, reported that sales
men of wildcat stocks, drawn to the
Inland Empire by the reports OF
abundant harvests, are coming IN IN
creasing numbers. The speaker said
that Walla Walla bankers will try
to protect their customers, and the
AID club instructed it's better business
bureau to be on guard.
It is within the power OF the bank
ers to break up these raids that are
draining out millions upon millions
Of dollars for which there is no re-
turn. If the bankers would enter upon
a systematic and determined CAM
paign, pledging themselves, in the
first instance, not to discount notes OF
farmers and others taken in ex-
chang for worthless or doubtful
stocks, would give counseling talks
like that before the Walla Walla Adj
vertising club, and warn their Gus
toners individually, sellers Of wild
cat stocks would find slim pickings.
Where these statesmen operate IN
farming communities they lure on
their victims with proposals that no
cash payment will be necessary, that
the farmers note will be gladly TAX
en-, and that the expected profits will
pay off the note before maturity.
Then the notes are taken to local
bank, or to some individual member
of a banking institution, and sold at
discount running up, in some IN
stances, to 25 per cent.

OUR FLAG

THE author of the following we do
= not know, but to him we tender
our appreciation to the extent that
we are printing this thought to be
read and be impressed thereby.
"When you see the Stars and
Stripes displayed, son, stand up and
take off your hat!
Somebody may litter. You may
blaspheme in the street, and staggel
drunken in public places, and the by
ISLANDERS will not pay much attention
to you; but if you should get down
on your knees in the street and pray
to Almighty God or if you should
stand bareheaded while a company
of old soldiers march by with their
flag to the breeze, some people will
think you are showing off.
"But don't you mind! When Old
Glory comes, along, salute, and let
them think what they please! When
you hear the band play The Star
Spangled Banner, while you are in a
restaurant or hotel dining-room, get
up, even if you rise alone; stand
there, and don't be ashamed of it,
either!
"For of all the signs and symbols
since the world began, there is never
another so full Of meaning as the
FLAG of this country
'"That piece of red, white and blue
bunting means five thousand years of
struggle upward. It is the full-blown
flower of ages of fighting for liberty.
It is the century plant of human hope
in bloom.
ut means the answered prayer of
generations of slaves, of the helots
of Greece, of the human chattles
of Rome, of the vassals of feudalism,
of the serfs Of Russia, Of the blacks
of America, Of all who, whipped and
cursed, have crawled from the cradle
to the grave thru all time.
.Your flag stands for humanity,
for an equal opportunity to all the
sons of men. Of course, we haven't
arrived yet at that goal; there are
many injustices yet among us, many
senseless and cruel customs of the
past still clinging to us, but the only
hope of Fighting the wrongs of men
lies in the feeling produced in our
bosoms by the sight of that flag"
