WORKERS can only be thankful to
" Hugo GeIlert, proletarian artist,
for giving them this first book in
which an attempt is made to illus
trate the great book Of the working
class, Marks Capital"
The great books of the past have
found their fitting pictorial counter
part. One thinks of the Illustrations
to Dante's Inferno, Rabelais' book,
and Milton's Paradise Lost.
But in the mighty book Of Marx
there is world-view, whose sweep
transcends all these, for it is the
theoretical expression Of the most
revolutionary class In history, the
proletariat, the class that is destined
to usher in the most deep-going his
toric change In more than 5000 years
Of human history, the class that, in
truth, Is already ushering in a new
epoch In human history, the era OF
Socialism, the transition to the class
less society OF Communism.
Therefore, it is a tribute to the
courage and earnestness Of Gellert
that he set himself the task of CIV
ing revolutionary pictorial expression
to the most revolutionary book in
history.
In the best drawings of GeIlert the
spirit Of class breathes. Such 1 would
say is the drawing Of Lenin at the
end Though I think that even in
this drawing the problem of relating
the towering figure of Lenin to the
great mass Of workers below is not
wholly solved, In others, Gellert
would seem to have tackled the job
Of giving pictorial representation to
the flaming words Of Marx with not
complete success.
Nevertheless, every worker who will
follow Marks words and Gellert's
drawings to the end will have ex-
perienced the immense impact OF
Marks Capital This will make the
book worth possessing and porting
over.
THE attempt to recreste in pictorial
the content and spirit of Marks

cropper had to depend upon the Fed
ersl Emergency Relief and the Red
Cross to keep himself and his family
from starving.
The bitterness in the hearts Of
these charity wards is all the more
acute because even the most Hitter
ate farmer realizes the cause. He
feels that the government favors the
rich even if the wealth consists Of
only enough money to pay the poll
tax.
TO THIS class Of tenant farmer
and cropper (which consists Of 40
per cent Of the county's total popu-
lation) is now added the farmer who
lost his land because OF inability to
meet taxes usually ranging from $40
to, in a few cases, S100. Former
small landowners see the local bank
slowly acquiring large areas Of land;
they see new foundations Of wealth
being laid BY the local Storekeepers
who, on the basis Of C. w. A. money
being spent in their stores, use much
Of it to buy up farms for taxes-or,
virtually, for next to nothing. AS

sristocracy in the near future. Pos
sessing the land, the government is
paying them not to pillow it, which
is clear gravy; and for the pIowable
acres his troopers do the work and
he gets half of the entire crop value
all perhaps for paying 500 taxes
