Elements of
Political Education
Continued from last weekly

In feudal society labor power is no longer the
simple property of the lord, but the latter has a
greater lesser right to the labor of the worker
(the peasant who works for the landlord, but has
his own FARM. This right is result of the serf-
dom of the peasants, e. their enforced obligation
to do labor for the landlord. The obligations of the
serf to the lord were expressed either in the per-
Torrance of personal labor or in the payment Of
certain general monetary taxes. The farms of
the landlords generally big giving rise to the
class of big landowners. The farms of the peas
ants were small, and in complete dependence on
the big landowners, giving rise to the class of
serfs. The class of the serfs in feudal society oc-
cupies different position from that of the slaves
IN the slave-holding system. The serfs, obligated
to pay certain due and render certain service new
ertheless had certain rights, which the slaves did
not have The peasants, bound to the soil, lived
In the midst of other such peasants, in communi-
ty, which served strong basis for the preserva-
ton by the peasants of their rights Thus the
serfs were able to offer a more organized resist
ance to the landowner than the slaves, and this

A PROTEST AND SILENCE
(From Great Falls Labor Topics)


''The organs of the Copper Company were giving
vent to their praise of Senator Wheeler some
weeks ago, and giving yards of space to verbal
assault on P j. Wallace for his appearance in the
city of Washington a representative of the Pro-
gressive Farmers of America They are not so
vicious at this writing against Mr.. Wallace. Some
thing has been done which causes even The Tri-
bune to grow less antagonistic to Mr.. Wallace, or
to say the least, The Tribune correspondent lis not
spreading himself to expose" the mission of Mr..
Wallace at Washington, D. C.
"a protest has been filed with the Inerior Com
mittee against the proposed lease of Flathead to
the Montana Power Company, and in that protest
it is clearly shown that the state of Montana is
going to be looted of this valuable property with
the silent consent of both Senators from this state
"a protest has been filed with the Interior Com

it to our readers. 1t now develops that others are
beginning to realize the contemplated steal. 1t is
in order for the copper press to paint some per-
sons cred" who were never red before. We pre-
dict that the efforts of the Montana Power Com

UNEARNED LOOT ROLLS IN
FASTER EACH YEAR

Never before in history has such a golden flood
of tribute poured into the Golfers of ruling class
as the dividend and interest payments disbursed by
American corporations in 1927 takes place. Finan-
ciers and business observers may chatter of mar
rowing margins but the rich should worry. They
can idle in luxury in Florida or New York confident
that even brief depressons will not interrupt the
swollen incomes which provide their pleasures and
the extension of their power.
Dividend and interest payments in 1927, accord
ing to the u S. department of commerce, reached
the enormous total of $4,751 $4,000, a gain of
$415,2300OO or 91436 over the preceding year and
of 1870 over the cash distributed to the owners of
stocks and bonds in 1920. This annual tribute to
the owning class represents an increase of more
than 1870 over the dividend and interest payments
of 1918.
Dividend and interest payments show a much
greater gain compared with prewar than do fac
tory wages. Department of labor figures which &c
back to 1915, show that in 1927 the factory wage
total for the country as a whole was about 68%
greater than the total of factory wages in 1916
In the same period the total return to security
holders increased 1850.
This 1927 return to absentee owners is equivalent
lent to the combined annual earnings of 3,4OO, OOC
workers at the average wage paid>in factories dur
ing 1927. If split $3.50 between farmers and in
dustral workers it would have increased their in
come about 2596.
Total dividend and interest payments as re-
ported by the department. for each year since 1915

Economic Articles
By Leland Olds Federated Press
Capitalists Split On Wage Policy

High wages make for good times,
says Samuel Vauclain, president of
the Openshop Baldwin Locomotive
works. A living wage for all is his
panacea. In an address to the Chicago
association OF credit men he says:
"The continuance of good times for
the employed and general business
prosperity depends largely upon main
tanning throughout this land the high
est possible wage rate that can be
paid to those who labro for a liveli-
hood. We should rise above paying
only such wages as the supply and de-
mand require us to do; we should nav
living wage to all, and then with
well-paid assistance hustle to continue
In business"
Here Vauclain is repeating almost
verbatim arguments advanced bv the
railroad unions in the wage cases be-
fore the railroad labor board in 1921
and 1922. Yet in 1921 and 1922 the
railroad interests allied with Vauclain
led the opposition to this contention,
clubbing it impractical and socialistic,
Baldwin Locomotive played its part
in the conspiracy to undermine union
conditions in the railroad shops by
contracting to repair locomotives at
times what this work would have cost
If done by union railroad mechanics.
Why the change? Is it split de-
veloping in the ranks of capital over
some major economic issue? Vau-
claim lays it on thick.

of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
that great fortunes tend to break up
In America, thus removing the menace
OF the great power which such wealth
exercises. Here are five fortunes
each one as large as the original,
grown from the single fortune of ste
ven Hardness. AS a matter of fact
the combined power represented bv
this wealth is still welded largely as
single unit in its control over Amer
lean industrial life.
incidentally this enormous growth
has come in spite of large gifts for
charity, those of Mrs. Hardness since
1920 totaling over thirty million dol
lars. Their wealth grows in spite OF
them.
An important feature of the report
of the deputy tax commissioner on
the estate of Mrs. Hardness is its rev.
elation of the tendency of Standard
vi fortunes to reach out into every
phase of the country's economic life
In addition to oil companies the Sc.
curities represent ownership in the
