tspeeIaI to The oaIIy WOrIerl

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 25-Under
the guise of creating an aid for the
efficient" enforcement of the prohibit
ton law and also for "curbing the
crime wave" Representative Ralph H.
Hoar is planning to introduce legis-
lation in the state legislature for the
creation of a state police force to be
used against organized workers in IL
linois.
The Illinois labor movement has
successfully resisted the attempts of
the openshop employers to establish
a state constabulary in Illinois. At
every session of the legislature at
tempts are continuously made to jam
thru a bill creating state police.
Hoar in an interview with newspa-
per correspondents declared that his
plan called for the creation of COM
bination police that will "enforce" the
prohibition law and also protect" the
state from criminals. He plans to
have this state police force under the
direction OF the state crime commits
sioner Of, the department of public
works and buildings. The commits
sioner is to dbe placed in charge of
three departments: the permit, the
enforcement and the investigation.
The permit depaRment will have
charge Of the investigation of all per-
mits. such as drug stores. distilleries,
warehouses, roadhouses, etc.
The enforcement division would be
in the nature Of state police force
with full police powers. and would be
placed in strategic points of the state.

British Want Only

Especial to The Daily Worker,

LONDON, Feb. 25-A resolution
against the enlargement of the league
of nations council was adopted here
unanimously at a largely attended
meeting held in the house Of com
mons under the auspices of the league
Of nations parliamentary committee.
The motion as passed urges the Brit
ish government to "offer the most
strenuous opposition" to the proposi-
tion Of admitting any other nation to
that body in March, than Germany.
The refusal of the cabinet to take
a definite stand lends additional ere
dence to the widespread rumor that
Austen Chamberlain, the premier, is
for further admissions while the rest
OF the ministers are bitterly opposed.

Amalgamated Road Transport Work
ers' Union has been. formed here thru
the combination of the following or
ganizations: Federated Carriers and
Drivers; the Trolley, Draymen and
Motor Drivers of New South Wales;

ian Workers Union.

was decided to form branches in all
the states, and authority was given to
the foundation members, together
with the secretaries OF branches and
sub-branches and organizers OF the
omalgamated unions. to enroll mem
bers In their respective states.
Amaloamatlon More Effective.
The preamble sets out that any In
dividual trouble arising in one or
more Of the various sections can be
much more effectively controlled by
one union covering road-transport
workers than by separate and inde-
pendent organizations II is also
pointed out that the amalgamation
will enhance the bargaining power Of

formally announced at a great mass
meeting of the workers, held here yes

This strike is another instance of
how agreements are looked on by the
employers. When these are to the
bosses interest they are observed.
Otherwise they are thrown into the
wastepaper basket. The miners had
this fact thrust upon them. 1t is the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-With the
signature of the president, the $780,
100000 revenue bill will become a law.
Anticipating its passage, the treasury
department. has prepared ample sup
plies Of the new forms for the flood
Of March IS returns.
The millionaire group of taxpayers
will be by far the greatest benehciar-
les. To be sure, the little fellows
have been relieved to some extent but
this has been principally for political
purposes. In their Joy over saving a
few dollars a year the politicians
figure the small taxpayer will quite
ignore the fact that his relief was in
cidental to the main object, that of
cutting the tax on the big fellow. De-
creased normal rates and increased
exemptions to $1,50O for single and
$3,500 for married persons will strike
1850, 000 names from the tax rolls.
Mellon Looks Out for Himself
Men like John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
and Ford are, however, the chief bene-
ficiaries. Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, believing that God helps
those who help themselves" has used
his position and influence to cut down
his forced donation. Even tho the
whole mechanism of government is
nothing but a machine for protecting
their privileged position these huge
exploiters refuse to pay anything but
the bare minimum for keeping the ap-
paratus functioning.
Big Exploters Save Huge Sums.
The 5000 largest exploiters get tax
reductions which will save them over
$100,000,O00 annually, based on their
income returns for 1924. 1t is certain,
however, their aggregate incomes for
succeeding years will be very much
larger. Their tax savings consequent
ly will exceed the amount given
The three wealthiest individuals in
America, according to the statements
filed last year were Henry Ford, John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., and Mellon him
self. They reported incomes of over
$5,00O,000 Their combined total was
S27,955,319 and their total of taxes
was $11.000,0OO. The new law by cut
ting the surtax 20 cent will save
the three nearly $6OOO,OOO, based on
their incomes for last year. These re-
ceived larger amount in reductions
than the entire bracket of 10000
taxpayers whose incomes are not in
excess of $4,000.
On the next three highest returns,
between $4,00O,OOO and $5,OOO,000 a
year income, the decreased surtax will
save the persons concerned nearly
S2,000,00O. The total loss of revenue
from the cut in surtax rates will equal
$119,OO0,00O. The total receipts froia
income taxes will approximate $1,72e,-
100000, a decrease over last years
returns of $160,OOO,OOO.
