THE BATTLE
HAS JUST BEGUN

Voters of California, comfortably re-
Taxed after Nov. 3, are not out of the
woods yet Scarcely had the smoke
of various battles drifted away when
the states old enemy, the single tax,
stuck its head out of the shell hole into
which it was blasted by the state su-
preme court, and shouted its battle cry.
1t is up again, and at 'em!
Our old foe still masquerades in the
sales tax repeal uniform-but has not
repaired the holes in it's garb, SO that
the skin shows through more clearly
than before.
"The Sales Tax Repeater" evidently
a weekly newspaper carries the banner.
The second issue of the weekly is re-
yea ling document The sales tax is
attacked impartially as a tax on labor
and capital for the benefit of ''land spe-
culators." The suggested remedy is re-
peal of the sales tax and enactment Of
more stringent taxes against property.
Both capital and labor, it seems, would
benefit. The only one to lose would be
the "land speculator." That, at least,
is the story of "The Sales Tax Repeater.
Who are the "land spectators That
question is not cleared up. Evidently
they include every person who owns
property, since overburdening taxes on
property would defeat the purses of all
property owners, and eventually take
their property away from them, giving
it to the state. The "land speculators,"
then, are the laborers, the business men,
the capitalists and anyone else who hap
pens to have acquired bit of real
estate. 1t is mighty bugaboo the re-
pealers have set up to shoot at.
The sales tax repeal proponents, So
called, won many friends before the
true purpose of their plan became clear.
They intend to make another campaign,
that is evident. and if they can to get
the alleged tax repeal measure on the
next state ballot.
Call it what they will, it is still the
single taxa tax which would make all
spropery the states before the end of
five years.
1t is too bad that one beating is not
enough.

YES, THIS FOOD ENDS
YOUR CONSTIPATION

Look out for those ha1f-sick days,
when you feel listless, headachy,
out-of-sorts. Your trouble may be
constipation. The real cause of
common constipation is too little
"bulk" in meals. Your system
misses it's regular exercise.
Get this needed "pulk' in a deli
cious cereal: Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
Within the body, its "bulk" absorbs
moisture, forms soft mass, gently
sponges out the system.
Why keep on feeling bad when
you can feel good? Millions of
people use ALL BRAN. Tests prove
it's safe and effective. ALL-BRAN is
guaranteed. Try it a week. If not
satisfactory, your money will be
refunded by the Kellogg Company.
Two tablespoonfuls daily are usu-
ally sufficient. Serve as a cereal,
with milk or cream, or cook into
recipes. Remember, ALL-BRAN also
supplies vitamin B and iron.
Certainly you'd rather eat food
than take pills and drugs. Buy
ALL-BRAN at your grocer's. Made
by Kellogg in Battle Creek.

He was one of the few actors who
wrote almost all his lines and Gre

this he invariably showed restraint
never speaking too much or over
doing his entrances. He was at his
best swapping sarfties with George
Cohan in their revues.
A dozen years ago he shucked the
local scene for Hollywood-touch-

cronies were gone. And he was
happy to get back to the California
sunshine.

from bar to bar-never taking a

WE OWE 1T TO OUR WAR DEAD
TO WORK FOREVER FOR PEACE
By BRUCE CATION

It is only natural that Armistice Day
should be a day for looking back. Those
limitless rows of white crosses that mark
the hillsdes of Europe with tragic men,
ories are beacons that we cannot ignore,
and would not if we could Armistice
Day is a day set aside for remembering
them.
There is not, of course, anything that
we can do now, for the men whom those
crosses commemorate. They responded
to a summons to the best that was IN
them, they endured all that men can
endure. and at last they gave up their
lives.
Nothing that we can say will help
them: no tribute that we can pay will
be adequate to express our debt to them.
But looking back is not enough. Those
men who died did not die for nothing.
They died for something-died in the
hope that the sacrifice they were max
ing was significant that it would some
how help the luckier folk who did not
have to die to enter better, cleaner
world.
1t is up to US to make that hope good.
There can be no better Armistice Day OBJ
servance than to dedicate ourselves to
n.
we look ahead instead of back.
1t is commonplace to point out that
the war to end war did not end war;
that the war to make the world safe
for democracy did nothing OF the kind;
that the world in general has been
worse place rather than better because
of the war.
But these things are not irrevocable
DEGREES of fate They will not remain
true unless we let them We who were
spared by the war can overturn those
tragic facts if we have mind to.
We can insist, for instance, that the
new war which threatens the world
shall not be inflicted on us. We, the
plain people who have to bear the load
of war, can demand in unmistakable
voices that statesmen make new efforts
to enable the nations of the world to
get along together in peace.
We can support men and programs
which lead toward such goal. We can
denounce blind and reckless nationalism
whenever it raises its head.
We can do our part toward making
democracy work, here in the United
States. We can help our country to
prove to the rest of the world that de-
mocracy, after all, does work better and
give more people happiness than any
other form of government. For if de-
mocracy justifies itself by its fruits,
it must in the long run prevail.
1t is in ways such as these that we
can best pay tribute to the dead of the
World War. The sacrifice they made
lays heavy responsibility on us-a
responsibility to see that the better
world for which they died is brought
closer to realization by the living.
On Armistice Day we can do no better
than to recognize that responsibility and
dedicate ourselves to the job of meeting
it.

William Mahoney once more has ap-

a standard bearer for the LaborP Pro-

made up of the men and women of this
city joined together for the purpose of
better government. Perhaps at no time
in the history of St. Pau! has sach a
strenuous campaign been carried on by
the forces of greed and money to de-
feat the aims which these men and
women are striving for.
