times as these. If there are any
subscribers for the Daily Worker
here, just send me their names and

this field, as L am sure it is very
fertile soil"
Kentucky certainly is a fruitful
field for organization with the Daily,
as the strike in Harlan, KY, is prov
ing to the workers that they can ex-
pect nothing but militia and muir

Dailies should be constantly flowing
deep into the heart of this blood

like to hear from workers in Louis

Camel City, COrbin, HOpkinSville,

DEMONSTRATE IN
PARIS ASSEMBLY

Paul Doumer was elected president
of France by the combined Senate
and House of Deputies wednesday
against AriStide BRAND. Both these
candidates are vicious enemies of the
Soviet Union, and BRAND, who was
regarded as a "milder" diplomat as
compared to Doumer, was one of the
leaders of the war plot against the
Soviet Union exposed in the wreck
ers' trial in Moscow. The election of
Doumer will intensity the war prepa-
rations against the Soviet Union.
Doumer, also, was one time governor
of the French colony of Indo- China.
His election presages sharper at
tack against the revolutionary masses
of Indo-China.
The French Socialists heartily sup
ported BRAND, endorsing fully his
war preparations against the Soviet
Union
The Communists exposed both of
the imperialist candidates, demon
strating against Doumer and for the
independence of Indo-China. The
Socialists started physical attack
against the Communist deputies.

DENVER, Colo.-Some of the
bosses candidates for mayor are
raising the question Of taxation and
harping on this as the only issue.
The workers candidate, Bill Die
trich, tackled this question at an out
door meeting Wednesday, May 6, and
challenged all the candidates to
stand for graduated system of tax
alton. where the worker or small
property owner received the mini
mum of taxation and the large prop
erty owner received the maximum
of taxation.
A worker in railroad union the
other day told the workers candl-
date that he had a small home on
the outskirts of town which he could
not sell for more than $3.50, yet he
had to pay close to 500 in taxes on
this property. Capitalism is taking
away the little property of such
workers just like they are foreclos-
ing on the small farmers.
