MILLIoNAIREs FROM PROFITS

The United States treasury, Mr..
MELONS office, reports that there
were 10000 millionaires in the United
States in 1928, the last year shown
by income tax returns.
A treasury millionaire is any per-
son who pays income tax on an in
come of $4,000 or more, that being
reasonable yield on a million dol
lars.
Not all of these 'millionaires" have
a million dollars. Some of them get
$4,000 a year and more in salary
But the United States is produc-
tive enough to permit the piling up of
more income of that size than any
other country on earth.
However, let us remember that
growing side-tracking of wealth into
huge piles indicates a shaving down
of earnings elsewhere that is not pro-
Iuctive of healthy economic condi-

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1880
GROWING DANGEROUS

That the unemployment situation is
fast growing to menacing proper
tions, may be observed in the COM
ments on it by some of the nations
best known writer's. Following is
what Arthur Brisbane says in part:
According to treasury figures. we
have now about forty-fve thousand
millionaires among us. Unfortunately,
we have, for every millionaire, about
one hundred men out of work, earn
ing nothing. The super millionaire
class should do some serious think
ing about the unemployed.
Five millions idle and unhappy,
among 120,000,000, can be handled"
easily, but beware of the second idle
five millions. The first five million
idle are, with due respect for some
unfortunates, the least able
Cor they are older men, excluded
from work by our cold -blooded indus
trial system. They are not the re-
bellious hard hitters. Five millions
more idle men would mean danger,
and a third five millions would mean
disaster.
"In Britain they give dole
enough cash from the public purse,
to keep all the idle from actual hun
ger. They think that cheaper than
revolution, and they are right For
tunately, in this richest of nations,
we have no dole and no idle, except
among the lazy and incompetent, if
the great fortunes that run the coun-
try will use their brains, or hire some
one to think for them"

OLDER WORKERS

AS the result of recent publicity
for the desperate plight of workers
/ who have grown gray-haired in serv-
ice and then found themselves with
out the opportunity to earn liveli-
hood, number of studies and serious
| efforts to know the facts are under
way. Two studies of the displace-
ment of workers by increasing
mechanization will probably throw
light on that phase. The New York
commission on old age security is
making an extensive study of age dis
tribution in New York industries. A
study of old age pensions by the in
dustrial relations counsellors will IL
lumine that field.
Doubtless the results of these stud
les will help in the development of
more constructive policies, but in the
meanwhile there are about 1000 900
dependent men and women over 65
years of age in the United States.
While we are studying a general pro-
gram for income for old age, we can
at least extend the writing of com
pulsory pension laws by the various
states.
The Toronto convention of the
American Federation of Labor recon-
mended that labor advocate such leg
islation, and every state federation is
urged to see to it that such legisla-
tion is introduced at the next meeting
of their state legislature.

all. To get their farm relief the farm
ers must organize and the federal
farm board tells them candidly that
they can get no help until they do
organize.
To hear the farm board talk one
would think there had never been a
supreme court decision against organ
izing "in restraint of trade"-and
maybe there hasn't been one for
| farmers.
Anyway the farmers are ordered
BY THE GOVERNMENT to organ
ize INTO UNIONS though the
farmers and the farm board don't
call them that.
But unions are still getting it in
the neck from courts for doing pre-
cisely what the government orders
farmers to do. Yes, gentlemen, it's
a good old Spanish custom, dating
back to times before there were any
Spanish customs, good or bad.
A lot of folks got left off the ark
because they had the same idea OF
inconsistency.
Nor is that ALL By no means is il
all. The United States government
through one of it's celebrated depart
ments, has just told the farmers they
mustn't plant so many broad acres.
The advice is to hold down a bit
''ca' canny." Shush, shush, says
/ Uncle Sam to his farmer friends. Not
quite SO many acres and you'll fine
it easier to get better prices.
Suppose Uncle Sam in moment
of lunacy, should say that to unior
"a union of printers, or of brick
layers, or of machinists, or of gov.
ernment employees!
Oh, oh! Imagine that! You'll
never get the chance to do more thar
imagine it.
Consistency has been rated even as
jewel of much value and great
price. But inconsistency is more
popular, and a lot of senators, one
must conclude, would rather have the
sure and steady income derived from
inconsistency than the price to be
got for an occasional cargo of the
finer product. The finer article is
no doubt, SO rare that even those who
would like to buy are afraid of coun-
terfeits.
Inconsistency is no jewel, but clay
has wider market.

PENNSYLVANIA MAKES
A START

1t may be that the conviction of
state police in Pennsylvania for the
death of striker indicates changed
spirit in the Keystone State which
long has been noted for the methods
of its coal and iron police. But the
old adage rises up to whisper warn
ing-one swallow does not make a
summer.
In the noted Barcoski case two coal
and iron police were found guilty Of
involuntary manslaughter. The Bar
coski case was particularly brutal
one. 1t is wholesome to find con-
viction of the cops.
But Pennsylvania will have to do
much more before the escutcheon is
clean.

ate as it wrangles over and wrestles
with the tariff.
With few exceptions thus far the
senate has taken the old family axe
from over the door and has with that
trusty weapon Topped off every decent
measure of protection suggested by
wage earners. The products of the
lowest paid workers on earth can
come rolling in to take away the mar
ket for goods made by decently
(sometimes) paid American workers
and what do the senators care about
that?
East is East and West is West and
the senators from the two extremes
imagine they are fighting each other
when their main achievement is to
wailop the workingman over his oft

Not so long ago these same SEN
ators, hearing at last the wall and the

thought themselves of votes to be
garnered. Thereupon great heaps of
gold were ladled out for the benefit
of agriculture. Agriculture got spell
ed with capital "a" at last!
Millions of dollars - the minted
| gold of the realm-have been put
where at least some of the farmers
can get fist in the sack.
All, breathren, it was a grand and
glorious gesture, this gold-plated
hand stuck out to agriculture.
But labor came with the same COM
plant. Labor asked that the product
of its toll be protected against in
vasion. Did senators waltz merrily up
to render immediate succor?
Socko! Right on the crown of the
head. That was the answer - and
still is. Schedule after schedule goes
down under the onslaught of senate
votes.
