EXEMPTIONS URGED
FOR INCOME TAX
BY Father of Eight.
1t is to be hoped that the Indiana
gross income tax will be changed by
the 1885 state legislature to remove
a grossly unfair feature-the as
sessment of tax regardless of the
number of dependents the taxpay-
er supports.
A person making $21 a week or
more must pay tax. One man may
have a large family which he is
struggling to support, but he must
pay the tax in the same amount as
a man who has no one but himself
TO support. That, per Sc, is unjust.
Never in the history of the federal
income tax has it been without a
clause fixing exemptions in case Of
dependents. That is just.

dishes. These restaurant features,

Paris Workers Meet
To Honor Jean Jaures

PARIS, Aug. IL. = Although the
police had prohibited all memorial
demonstrations in front of the
house where Jaures was murdered
twenty years ago, the streets in the
vicinity were besieged recently by
crowds of workers. Great crowds
assembled in front of the neighbor-
ing premises of the "Humanite, :"
where great portraits Of Jaures,
Lenin, and Stain were hung out
A delegation sent by the Commu-
mist and Socialist Parties, accom-
panied by representatives of the
Anti War Committee and editors of
the "Humanite," were greeted with
great enthusiasm by the masses.
Andre Marty and ziromski spoke
from window through which the
murderer fired the shots at Jaures.
The police proceeded brutally
against every gathering of demon
strators. In spite of this, the work
ers held the streets of the quarters
till late in the night.

ISIDOR SCHNEIDER
IN recent article in the New Re-
public, Robert Cantwell wrote a
survey of "the little" magazines, the
monumental periodical press of
America, in the immediate present.
His analysis leads to some interest
ing conclusions.
In spite of the depression, in spite
of the hopelessness and despair that
accompany the disintegrating cap
italist culture, free and fighting
literature persists. Against the cap
italist publishing monopolies that
offer to writer's the alternative of
prostitution or silence, the new lit
erary generation doggedly creates a
press of its own and breaks diff
ficult paths to the audience to
which open access is barred by the
profiteers of culture. Scores of maya
zines are published. Their public
may be small in each case but as
every revolutionary movement dem
onstrates over again the disciplined
and directed energy Of a determined
few can reach an amazing con-
centration of power
These magazines, themselves, can
roughly be divided into two cate
gories-those without a program be-
yond the aim of promoting a free
creative literature, and those with
definite program of sharpening,
through literature, the consciousness
of the class struggle and enlisting
support for the workers. Even the
former group, however, draws large
proportion of its contributions from
left writer's, SO that, on the whole,
it may be said, that the literary
revolt is beginning to understand its
natural role in an age of revolt;
that it must join forces with the
proletarian revolution, in whose VIC
tory, alone, will be created the con-
ditions in which the literary revolt
can attain its own detectives. The
writer's who resist alliance with our
movement tend to produce de-
featist literature. Their stories are,
generally, expressions of failure, the
tragedies of sensitive spirits who
must find their refugees in lonely
suffering and martyred superiority;
and they cultivate a dignified and
remote style in keeping with this
attitude.
In the second group of magazines,
the outrightly revolutionary group,
The Anvil holds an honorable place.
1t was among the first in the field,
