MISERY AND AMERICA

Rep. Amlie of the First Wisconsin district, one of the.
progressives who was defeated in the 1882 election, told
the House, Jan. 80, that his visits to the bread lines in
Chicago had shown him that 1.-THE victims of u%nemploy-
ment are possessed of a capacity to endure hardship and
starvation that is well night inexhaustible." He found
that the jobless were becoming adjusted to hunger and
cold, in a way to reassure the standpat economists who
argue that the depression will cure itself after wages have
reached absolute bottom and thereby enable capitaliza-
tion to balance commodity prices. What the bosses have
before they are pressed down to utter deflation Of wage
rates. Amlie came to the conclusion that the explosion
was not in immediate prospect.
mot only is the capacity of these poor wretches to en-
dure punishment well-night inexhaustible," he said, "but
in the process of suffering they tend to work out arrange
ments which serve to make life more endurable and their
capacity to withstand distress even greater"
He quoted Gorkys description of the veterans in this
unemployed army, mere human husks-"creatures that
once were men," But he described their consideration
for each other in the breadlines-how when a passerby
drops a cigar butt in the gutter, the men who start to
pick it up quickly determine which man is nearest, and
make no attempt to dispute his claim to the prize. He
finally quoted Edmund Wilson's article in the New Re-
public, Feb. l, on the daily search Of Chicago's garbage
dumps by the hungry:
last summer in the hot weather when the smell was
sickenng and the flies were thick, there were a hundred
people a day coming to one of the dumps, falling on the
heap of refuse as soon as the truck had pulled out and
digging in it with sticks and hands. One widow
who used to do homework and laundry, but now had no
work at all, fed herself and her 14-year old son on gar
bage."

Most folks would be content with such incomes, but not

In January, 1881, these five men allotted themselves
32,370 shares of unissued company stock, at a price of
S25 per share. The day they put through this deal, that
stock was selling on the market at SIP per share. They
thus voted themselves a cash profit of S2,6 875 at the
expense of the company, of which 81 169, 28O went to the
president, in addition to his million-dollar salary, and
the rest to the four vice-presidents, in addition to their
half-million-dollar salaries.
For purposes of comparison, the SO Senators of the
United States get $4,000 a year each, or $960,000 in
all, and they have locked themselves 10 per cent, or

PROFITS FROM MUNITIoN INDUSTRY

Sen. Bingham of Connecticut, apparently seeking to
serve the Remington-Rand and other munitions interests,
has moved to reconsider the action of the Senate in APP
proving the joint resolution authorizing the President to
which is violating or threatening to violate the Anti
War Pact. His move followed a series of visits to the
White House by Rand of the Connecticut munitions
firm, and the incident of Rand's presenting a new type
writing machine to a press correspondent who persisted
in asking why Rand was coming there. The correspond
ent has since been transferred.
Peace organizations, aroused at Bingham's blocking
of final disposal of the resolution at this time, are cir

Chancellor of the Exchequer and Sir Austen Chamber

The report of the chairman. in 1882 announced that this

General Motors, the dupont concern, and Allied Chem

HELP LEST
WE PERISH

THERE can be no doubt in the minds
of those who have given the mat
ter any intelligent consideration that
our system of production and distri-
button has collapsed ~miserably. That
adequate food, clothing, and shelter
is unavailable to a vast PERCENTAGE of
our population, and to another rapid
ly increasing group entirely so, ex-
cept at the price of their total aban-
donment of all self-respect. These
established facts should be sufficient
evidence of the %inadequacy of that
rugged individualism" of which we
have heard so much. This condition
obtains throughout the nation, despite
the realization that our warehouses
are bursting with sufficient goods
necessary to supply all of the wants
of our people. Farmers r unable
to obtain the price of production for
their efforts and are being evicted
from the land by hundred thousands,
the reason being that they are I'M
able to meet the demands of bankers
from whom it has been necessary to
borrow the money to meet overhead
and ever-mounting taxes. These
erstwhile tillers of the soil are being
forced into the great army of the I'M
employed, Inundated and despised by
the class who have been the benefit
Charles of their long, dreary hours of
toll and worry. The truth of these
conditions is well established.
We must bear in mind also that
these people are just average Amer
lean citizens, "even as you and l."
And in the great majority of cases are
in no wise responsible for this calam-
ity that has befallen them.
The problem, then, with which we
are confronted is the cause or causes
of this d%eplorable condition and the
if any.
The cause as | see them ire:
|. Ignorance of the meaning Of
the word WEALTH.
2. A misconception of the func-

ton of a medium of exchange and
an entire lack of knowledge of COM

3. The extensive introduction of
science into the methods of produc-
ton, while in our methods of dis
tribution science has been almost to-
tally ignored.
Wealth consists IOf the intelli-
gently directed efforts of labor, APP
piled to a resource of nature, where
by commodities useful to society
are produced.
There can be no other true or honest
definition of this word. Stocks, bonds
and banknotes are absolutely worth
less and if they were all burned or
sunk in the middle of the ocean, the
world would not have lost one particle
of its wealth. Metallic money has no
value except through the value given
by labor in its production as metal
or metals and then only in the crea-
ton of things of value to society.
Land, be it agricultural, mineral or
forest, is valueless without the appli-
cation of labor.
All Of the buildings, machinery, and
power of the great factories, trans
%portation systems-in fact every tan
gible thing that we possess is obtained
in the last analysis by the applica-
ton of labor; that is, energy to a
natural resource. This being true,
and successful contradiction is i'm
possible-does it not naturally follow
that the unit of value must be based
on the labor Chat is, energy) expend-
ed in the production and distribution
of useful goods?
This premise established it newt
ably follows that our entire monetary
must be abandoned and a me-
dunn of exchange adopted based on
the scientifically computed amount of
energy supplied by those to whom
it is issued. Furthermore this medi-
Inn of exchange must be non-trans-
ferable except by the party to whom

of the pieces, one of which is almost
an exact miniature of the other, are
shaped almost like solid pitchers.
They are rounded as If turned on a

cannot have been devised as vessels,
appear to have been fashioned by
some human agency. Both pieces
are a species of sandstone, and were
found by Mr.. Kean in the Wairoa

crops of river metal, between 35 and

piece is petrifed wood, weighing sew

which have obviously been made with
a species of ak. This piece was found
with the larger OF the two pestles,
and from the depth at which it was
found must have been buried for q

Kidnapped


Markham at Hillcrest Lands had cut
the dinner interval short in order to
return to the lobby to mark the ad-
vent Of new arrivals. AS the evening
waned, he had strolled over to the
desk to ask some questions Of the
clerk.
"Those three Louisville men Mr..
Markham and l were inquiring about
the day we arrived. Have you heard
anything more from them?"
'We have. There was a wire this
morning. They will be in on the Ne
vada Flyer this evening""
us that so? We understood they
were driving"
The clerk smiled. "1t's quite little
!aunt from Louisville to Brewster.
They probably had enough of the open
road after day or so. Anyway, they
are coming on the Flyer. That is what
their wire said"
1t was at this conjuncture that the
telephone switchboard girl had come
up to say, Excuse me, Mr.. Lands,
but Mr.. Starbuck has just called up
from his office across the street to ask
if you would come over a few min
utes."
Certainly" Lands had said, sur
prised to learn that the mine owner
had returned from Copah so soon.
AS he had stepped out upon the
sidewalk he saw that the offices of
the Little Alice Mining company were
lighted, and standing in front of the
bank building elevator and stairway
entrance was car with it's motor rum
Ming but with it's lights turned off.
His first thought had been that it was
Starbucks car, but as he heard it, he
had seen that it was different make.
Since it was blocking the way, he
stepped aside to pass behind 1T. When
he was in the rear of the car, and be-
fore he could step up to the curb, the
softly idling motor suddenly roared
alive and the car leaped backward at
him. There was time only for futile
effort to save himself, and then the
street pavement rose up to smite him
into oblivion.
When he came to he found himself
tied and blindfolded and damned in
between two men in the back seat of
a car which was being driven some
where at reckless speed. When he
stirred, the man at his left pressed
something pointed against his ribs,
and a grating voice at his ear said
"You've been asking for it for good
while, and now you've got It! If you
make a move or raise a yell, you'll get
the knife!"
Lands made no reply. Half dazed
as he was, he realized that he was
helpless, for the time being, at least
AS his brain cleared he took him
self savagely to task for having fallen
SO easily into the trap set for him,
and from that he strove to find an
swers. to the questions that came
thronging upon him. Who were his
kidnapers? Where were they taking
him, and what were they going TO do
to him? @
These vital questions were still un-
answered when the car came to a
sudden stop. There were sounds as
of the removing of barricade after
which the car went forward slowly.
