FARNiER-LABOR
BY A. I. Harris

Just a little sidelight on tau
evasion on the part of corporations
! A certain corporation with its
home office in Omaha, Neb., and
doing quite an extensive business
in Minnesota for the year 1885 re-
ported loss in its business in this
| state.
Knowing the volume of business
transacted locally by the corpora
ton, the state tax commission was
naturally suspicious. An auditor
was sent to Omaha to look over
the corporations books. Result:
auditors expenses, approximately
$500; benefits to state, a check for
S125,000 for the corporations 1885
Minnesota income tax.
This means that the corporation,
instead of a net loss as reported
by it, made a profit in Minnesota
for 1885 of S2,50O,000 a nice
piece of money, so to speak, for
taking out of the state. Incidental
ly, the above incident and
many others like it . might &C
count to a large extent for income
tax receipts leaping from $1,000
600 in 1884 to S3,50O,OOO in 1895, in
approximate terms.
Enter upon the American polit-

yer, professor of political economy,
emeritus of Harvard. Professor
Carver speaks of a fourth party"
but he is really mounting the
thoughts of some of the Republi-

irgly in the direction of fascism.
The professor speaks of the
strong races" of the past who
went out and just took land when
they needed it. Of course, we in
America throw people in Jail who
take things by force which do not
belong to them. But why find fault
with the professor? He adds: In
this respect (the strong races who
took by force what did not belong
to them) they were, on the intel
lectual, if not on the moral side,
far ahead of our present day econ
omic planners outside of Italy,
Germany and Japan"
And here is the fascist program

Hill Pleased
Hill is enthusiastic over joining

better year than he had last year
and predicts that the Griffs will
be a surprise team Of the season.
I'm going to like playing

morning. 1--WE always been a
great booster for Bucky Harris,

way he conducts his club. He

Hill will round out one of the
strongest defensive units in the
major leagues today. He is a
fast runner-won his letter at
University of Southern California
as a sprinter-and a sure catch
of a fly ball. He has a good
arm, too.
More important, or certainly
just as important, is the fact
that Hill is a good batter, and
a good lead-off man. He solves

If Miles fails to make good,

Stone will be dropped into the

This is purely conjectural, to

Buck Newsom is chortling over

lily that his car could do 10 miles

gears in his car. That is, he didn't
tell them until after he had COL

Nazi War Authors

Germany has it's special weeks, too. The most recent was "War Literature Week." announced by the national di- rector of the Nazi party and sponsored by the National Socialist Cultural Chamber.
 More than sixty authors of "heroic" books about the World War were enter tained by Minister of Propaganda Goeb- bels. There were a reception and speech eS.
 ''The National Socialist movement thanks you," said one of the speakers. 'When, in 1918, desperation ruled in Ger many, you nouriShed our great heritage. When cowardice was in the ascendant, you sang of the German mans eternal heroiSm. At a time when honorleSS men governed, you stood for German honor. The struggle from 1914 to 1918 has found in new form it's extension and will lead to great German future, not least of all through your aid"
 The interesting part of the whole affair is that not one of the authors honored and feted is known outside of Germany. German writers on the war who are wide ly known in the rest of Europe and in America were conspicuously absent. Erich Maria Remarque, author of "All Quiet On The Western Front" and many others who wrote internationally respect ed books about the war, are no longer honored in their fatherland. They are in exile and their books are forbidden circu- lation in Germany War Literature Week was a one-Sided affair, dedicated only to those writers whose works the Nazi au- thorities approve.

A Question of Figures

Publication of President Roosevelt's summation of the Federal budget for the current fiscal year has aroused Old Guard campaigners to frenzy of rage and terror; rage, obviously because it reveals clearly the excellent financial position of the Government; terror, inspired by the certainty that their prophecies are rem dered ridiculous.
 The 1887 budget issued last January predicted deficit of billion dollars, plus any amounts appropriated for relief expenditures during the year. There was appropriated for relief billion and half, besides which the payment of the soldiers bonus is adding 560 millions to the years expenditures. On this basis, it was calculated that the deficit for 1887 would be three billion dollars
 But the budget summation issued September 1st showed that enhanced business recovery in 1886 assures in- creased government receipts to such an extent as to make possible substantial reductions in net expenditures. These developments justify the conservative budget estimate of two billions, 97 mil lions, a decrease of about an even billion.
 Ogden L. Mills was chosen by the Re- publican high command to "correct" the Presidents estimate That is of course logical choice. According to the New York newspapers, Mr. Mills conferred at length with Gov Landon at Buffalo prior to the delivery of the governors astonishing speech on "taXeS and waste"
 Very promptly MT. Mills announced that President Roosevelt's budget sum- nation is "deceitful";; that the 1887 deficit will really be about three billion, 267 millions" The question is raised, who is the better estimator, the President or the fiscal adviser of MT. Hoover and Gov. Landon?

Short Work Day

The six-hour day, which some labor representatives say will soon be universal in this country, is perhaps reasonable ideal to work for. It has special appeal in time when SO many millions are still unemployed. It is natural to want the work passed around, so as to afford equal opportunity and avoid permanently idle class living on charity.
 Wether it is practical now, or in the immediate future, is another question The next couple of years will tell us good deal more than we know now. From present indications, some business men and economists think nearly all of the employables will probably be at work again within year or two.
 There is vast deficit of work to be made up, merely to get our property and living conditions and accumulated sav- ings back where they were before the de- pression. For good many years yet, we may need to work more than six hours day during good times, in order to get ahead enough to tide ourselves over bad times. And if we ever do get the business cycles ironed out, there will still be the question whether we don't want con- tinuously a better living than so stort a working day would provide.

Red Gross Education

Ayear ago the American Red Cross en- larged it's activities to include nation wide accident prevention program and the establishment of system of high way emergency first-aid stations. The Illinois chapter now reports on the first year in the highway work. Fifty-eight stations have been set up and operated in the state, and 155 more are planned. More than 5000 persons were treated in these stations.
 The Red Cross, however, does not stop with the work done by it's own personnel. It trains thousands of people every year in first-aid and life-saving methods so that there is steadily increasing num- Der of persons who know what to do in an emergency and are trained to do it. Do ing the right thing may not invariably save life, but doing the wrong thing may very often take life which might have been saved.
 The Red Cross has long performed great service in war or disaster. Its edu- cational work, widening in scope, must be of nearly as much importance to the nation.

Spectacular Mayor

One of the oldest political careers of the 1930S seems to have been ended-for the time being, at any rate-by the res ignation of William N. McNair as mayor of Pittsburgh.
 Pittsburgh surprised itself, in the first place, by electing McNair at all. He had been a perennial candidate for divers ofiices, and people had begun to class him as a permanent also-ran. His elec- ton to the mayoralty was one of the most sensational features of the great political overturn which followed the Repression.
 Once in office, the mayor cut spec tacular figure. Whether he was moving his official desk out into the corridor of City Hall, getting himself arrested, or begging that his own salary be slaShed, ne was forever making headlines.
 With this genius for publicity, however, he did not seem able to combine an equal genius for good government; now, at last, Iie resigns to rescue the city from an un- 1hdurabIe financial nnixup It is a queer, dnaccountable political career which he has brought to at least a temporary end.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-13

Some ten or so years ago when our best people, and some only good or better, had time and money they were wing with one another in the acquisition of an- tiques. What trips, time, energy and money went into obtaining maybe a three-legged stool that had it's origin in the middle eighteenth century, or a grandfather's clock of that same most important period! Then came the de- pression and if there was one thing folks were not, it was antique-minded. The interest waned, but once again it is being manifested and people are beginning once more to have time for hobbies. Per hapS more interest was shown in the an- tiuues show, in it's eighth New York show ing, just concluded in that city, than in some time. Buying, they say, was heavy, there were many, many visitors, and last but not least, dealers are already bidding for space at the ninth show next year.
