member of the chamber Of deputies,
and by Jacob Hurwitz, secretary of
the Red Aid of the Caribbes."
The manifesto states:
Last year, Machado sent to this
country a General Aleman, empow-
cred to demand the extradition of
Mella. The government of Mexico
denied the demands of General Ale
man, however, and he had to re-
turn to Cuba without the laurels he
thought he would bear"
That Machado wished to get
Mella extradited from Mexico to
Cuba in order to murder him, as
hundreds of other workers have
been murdered, is quite obvious.
Not attaining this end by extradi-
ton, assassins were sent to Mexico
to murder Mella.
Murder as a Habit.
Murder is the customary mode of
Machado in silencing political oppo-
sition. No labor leader, especially,
is certain when he leaves his home
at dawn that he will ever return.
Arrested and thrown into the Ha-
vana civil prison or in the military
prison, ola Cabana," they "disap-
pear" forever. Or in the streets at
night, those who oppose Machado
are shot down "by persons I'M
known" Even in broad daylight, as
in the case of Jose Cuxart, whose
home was visited by two soldiers at
midday.
Cuxart answered the knock at his
door, holding in his arms his baby
girl. clay down the baby, but do
not move" ordered the soldiers, 1--WE
are going to kill you." Unable to
escape and anxious to save his child
whom he knew would be killed if
he made an attempt to evade the
leveled rifles of the soldiers, Cuxart
laid down the child and was in
stantly shot dead.

There are many other abuses such
as forcing injured workers to go

assigning them to Eight work" at
reduced pay during convalescence.
During slack seasons workers are
transferred from one department to
another-always at 10 per cent lower
pay.
These conditions have resulted in
discomfort and grumbling among
the workers. A new nucleus of the
Workers Party, recently organized,
is beginning to take advantage Of
this condition and shop bulletin

Wage Cuts.

This cryptic statement means
whole lot. The Crane plant is one
that employs all the tricks to keep
the workers chained to their jobs.
One of these tricks is to withhold
five per cent of the workers wages
until the end of the year when. if
he has managed to stick it out that
long, he gets it in a lump sum
labelled by the company, "bonus."
If he gets fired or laid off during
the year he loses this. The purpose
is, of course, obvious. The Crane
Company also uses many other
schemes, such as $500 death bene-
fit fund as a reward for sticking
continuously two years; ten shares
of stock as reward for uninter-
rupted faithful service for ten
years; and maybe real mechanic IS
wages if the worker sticks Is years!
Wages are low enough, 45c an hour
in the machinists departments, ACC
in the foundry, are the starting pay
for adults.

Editorials q
Are Taxes Too Low?

This is an amazing headline for an editorial But
the subject of taxes is SO allmportant that our at
tenton is sometimes drawn too strongly IN the oppo-
site direction.
What concerns one citizen indirectly concerns all
citizens Taxes however, concern all citizens except
possibly the pauper type, and even his cond1on IS
directly related to the subject.
Whether we get more for our tax dollar tnan Tor
any other dollar spend is somewhat debatabe, with
the odds in favor of the answer Yes The question
is not so much the amount of taxes pay IN what
manner the tax money is distributed More than that
is the question Of whether any particular function or
department of government local, state or NATIONAL is
actually the necessity claimed for it.
If taxes generally are too low it is because the
public after ALL moves slowly toward public develop
ent and because there forces constantly at work
for example the pocketbook to keep down the eXpen-
ditrue of public funds and likewise the statutory en-
actments which make assessments possible. On the
other hand if taxes are too high it is because there IS
none too close watch upon the movements Of govern
ment and the actions of public officials which admin
strate it's affairs Such problems always before
us. There is middle ground between reckless eXpen-
dture and false economy.
The tendency in government is toward business
administration and away from political action. just
how far the pendulum should swing not be de-
termined until it is determined how much of the dem
ocratic principle of government must be sacrificed to
insure efficiency and business-ike results
Another problem is whether to be satisfied with
those necessities of human welfare and cut curb
assessments to that level enlarge public aspiration
to the requirement of those developments in structr
al beauty and community refinement which bespeak
an advanced civilization. Where shall be the limit? :?
To find out what improvements merely necessary
to actual existence of political unit and distinguish
them from developments which may be completed be-
cause Of public afuence taxes the minds OF students
of economy and forms issues among the body polite
AS one thinks Of his immediate community and
government, taxes are sufficiently high. AS theory
or government the subject is speculative.
