Versus Dictatorship"

BERLIN, Oct. 23.-What liber-
ties do democrats, and especially
workmen under democracy. lose
when they give up Democracy?
Specifically, what liberties have
Germans, and German working
men in particular lost under ma
tional socialism?
They, or the nation as a whole,
traded these liberties for other
things, but before these other
things need be described, and be-
fore any discussions about whether
the trade was a good one, it is
necessary to make it plain just
what liberties were lost.
Workers Hardest Hit
The sober answer is that of all
the population the workers have
lost most by losing their liberties.
For they, as the weaker class,
needed most the right to defend
themselves.
During the early part Of the
NaN revolution the liberties of the
citizens were encroached upon by
scores Of irresponsible elements.
But the most characteristic
and deeply significant German
maxim is "Ordunung muss sein"
There must be order" So
gradually the right of any Nazi to
inflict Justice" on any non-Nazi
was limited until today for the
most part the persons and prop
erty Of citizens are encroached
upon only by responsible elements,
namely the governmental authori-
ties.
Order Now Restored
Law and order have been re.
stored. And here is the law:
Today in Germany a citizen
may be arrested without war
rant and held indefinitely with
out benefit of attorney.
He need not be told Of the
charge against him, nor need
he be faced with his accuserS
until such time as the police
choose to deliver him for trial.

 Then to his house he slowly went. Long days and nights, of course, he'd spent at hard work. Now he was tired out. He flopped upon a bed.
 "Ho, hum," he sighed. My task is done, and now I'll sleep. That will be fun" In just about two minutes, dreams were run ming through his head.
 The Tipies, in the meantime, had had lots of fun, and they were glad that their new friend, the penguin, kept on moving very fast.

TAXES OR TRADE. WHIcHa

The problems of government never
have been solved merely by increasing
taxes. Nation after nation has tried that
method, and their failures have written the
pages of history. It was not that their peo-
pie were lacking in patriotism. but rather
that misrepresentation is the first law of
nature, and when it came to showdown
the people preferred their own security to
that Of the government.
These failures should be sufficient
warning to our modern legislators that in
creasing federal. state. and local taxes is
not the way out. There is danger. how
ever, that they will attempt to follow the
higher tax route. Another Congress and
"A state legislatures soon will be in session.
Indications already are that every one Of
them will seek new or greater revenues.
The chances are that new taxes will be i'm
posed, old taxes increased, or both.
. Is The people Of the United States weTue
taxed $3.50 per capita in 1882 Motorists
were taxed S44.4s per capita extra, or
S99.97 il ALL Complete figures on all
taxes are not available for 1898. but taxes
on gasoline alone amounted TO $700.O0O.-
900. II is interesting to note that $780,
100000 also was thG amount of money
spent for electric power in 1888.
That brings up the point whether it is
advisable for people to continue spending
large share Of their sincome for taxes,
which now take more than 90 per cent of
income. or to spend it in trade. The $780,
Ooo. 200 spent for electrical energy created
jobs. produced goods. accomplished work,
and even created more tax revenue. The
S700,000.000 in gasoline taxes accom-
plished some beneficial results. of course.
but also ii has led government to look for
another s7oO,OOo.000 this year. or even
more. So there's the pressing public prob
lem Of the day-money for trade or taxes.
