last elections. Union with the Social

Three logical young men from CAM

oughly convinced an overwhelmingly
American audience in the gymnasium
of George Washington University last
night that the growing tendency" of
the Government to Invade the rights
Of individuals'' is really good thing,
despite the protests of three George
Washington University debaters that
the whole proposition was entirely
un-American and dangerous.
The decision gave Cambridge clear
victory in the fourth annual interna-
tional intercollegiate debate with
George Washington University. Fol-
lowing the British custom, the win
ming team was determined by the bal
lots of the audience. Although it was
apparent that not half Of the specta-
tors sent their ballots to the tellers,
the count stood 325 for Cambridge
and 166 for George Washington, bet
ter than two-to-one victory for the
British team.
The question before the house was:
Resolved, That this house opposes
the growing tendency of government
to invade the rights of individuals. -
George Washington University's team

NEW FEUDALISM PREDICTED:
INDUSTRALISTS IN CONTROL

erty is only one of many indications
that we are approaching a condition
of society in which the great masters
of industry will be permitted to do
about what they please, on the theory
that such policy is best for the COM
mon good.
"After more than three centuries,
there approaches a return to feudal-
ism. The new feudalism is political
and industrial. Not improbably it
will be more or less benevolent. The
lords of industry will realize, at least
for a considerable number of years.
that their position and profits will be
more secure if they refrain from the
cruder and coarser forms Of injustice,
and permit the dependent classes,
both urban and rural, to obtain mod
crate share of the products of indus
try. The masses will probably enjoy
slightly higher degree of economic
welfare than has ever been within
their reach before. But they will en-
JOY it at the expense of genuine free
dom. The mind of the masses will
have become a slave mind.
"Possibly this is the kind of society
that we want in this country, but it
is not the kind that made and kept
America free. 1t is emphatically noe
the kind of society that committed the
destinies of the country to the Gus
tody of Abraham Lincoln"

the Cleveland Forum.
In tracing the development of pres
ent-day industrialists, DR.. Ryan said
that this new feudalism is threaten

Political liberty in the United States
is not threatened, he said, but civil
and economic liberty "are today in
greater danger than at any time in
the last centuruy and quarter" He
deplored the tendency of legislatures,
executives and courts "to diminish,
under the stress of an assumed pres
ent emergency, such liberties as free
dom of speech, or printing and of as
sociation." Injunctions against labor
bodies and illegal liberation" of mon
opolies were pointed out as attacks
upon economic liberty.
"It is highly significant that the
recent restrictions upon civil as well
as economic liberty can be traced, on
the whole, to economic motives and
economic influences" he continued.

This section Of the ordinance

unfavorable comments, and will
probably defeat the measure

personnel. The board explained that
it would be necessary for a member
to examine the books. The consent
was given.
The auditor found on the books an
account carried for a branch which
had closed its doors several months
before. He informed the management
that it would have to continue the
employees on the pay roll. When told
this would prove impossible, the audi
tor replied that it would become
necessary therefore for him to declare
the firm bankrupt. Anxious to avoid
this the firm agreed to continue. Now
it has closed its doors flat broke. The
employees still have as an asset and
the firm as a liability, three months
pay due each.
The discharge of one colored waiter
at the Mexico City Country Club
came near causing a displomatic in
cident. He appealed his case to the
labor body and with its approval call
ed a general strike of all the en-
ployes of the Country club. They
closed the gates and declined to al
low those within to leave or those
without to enter. The American am
bassador was on the inside, but the
American shield on the front of his
car had the desired effect and the
gates were opened for him.
The law and it's regulations, how
ever, have their good side. Until quite

The bill provides that boards of ad-

for decision. A board of mediation,
consisting of five commissioners ap-
pointed by the president, would con-

"A lew hlcIllcISCIS, IlCducu ny IIcSl-

The latter insist that the Interstate

Iron Law of Wages as an

in an address before the under

"The old theory of wages" he said,
"has been forced to give way to the
new theory. The old economic theory
was advanced by economists while
the new economic theory is enunciated
by manufacturers of practical expe-

"The primary purpose of organized
labor" he continued, sis to secure
better wages and better conditions for
its membership. The workers who
are organized seek to advance their
economic and social interests through
organization and collective bargain
ing"
He then referred to the increased
productivity of the workers which he
said had taken place without attract
ing attention. The change had been
gradual but during the last % years
the average worker had increased his
productive capacity so percent.
"That being true" he said, "social
inequality, industrial instability and
injustice must increase unless the
workers real wages are increased in
proportion to his increasing produc-

increasing purchasing power. Ameri-

Mexico City-The rights of
labor" just decreed by President
Gales is one of the most far
reaching of any country in the
world. The law is enforced by
presidential regulations.
This law gives every person the
right to engage in any legitimate en-
deavor, which does not offend the
rights of third parties nor offend So
4iety.
. The interests of a third party are
attacked when an effort is made to
replace a laborer who has been dis
charged, or he is unjustly replaced
Without having first submitted the
case to the board of arbitration and
Cancellation for decision. When a
laborer who has been absent from his
work, for cause, returns and is denied
permission to resume his work the

Of the case, not the employer.
Society is offended when a strike
having been called an effort is made
to replace the workers, without the
strike having first been settled by
the board-in short, strike breaking
Or should majority of the workers
declare strike it is illegal for the
minority to continue work.
The administrative body, the board
of arbitration and conciliation, has the
right to employ all necessary federal
agencies to prevent a violation of the
rights of the third party, or an of

WHAT THEY GET
Congressman Said to Bring 500 and
Senators 5000 a Day

Washington, D. C.-In the corri-
doris of the capital the small talk just
now deals with the price of senators
and congressman.
From seemingly authentic sources
the information comes that the Anti
Saloon league pays senators $500 per
day and congressman 500 per day
for boosting the game and collecting
money for the league. This work, of
course, is done during the "off sea-
son." and is regarded as being with
in the rights of the Statesmen"
What effect this arrangement has
on the votes Of the congressman and
senators is left to the imagination Of
the public.

CAL EXEMPT
Presidents Tax on Income Is Saved
by Bureau Ruling

Washington, D. C.-Through a rul-
ing by the internal revenue bureau,
President Coolidge will not have to
pay $4,000 income tax. The presi-
dents salary is set by congress, and
it can not be reduced. 1t can not be
taxed, the bureau holds.
The treasury department has re-
turned 100000 to the estate Of the
late President Harding. Because of
the statute of limitation the ruling
will not affect the $150,000 taxes paid
by the late President Wilson. In
come taxes are not paid by the fed
eral Judiciary, and it is believed that
this will be extended to the cabinet
and members of congress.
