Single Tax Essential to
Political Economy Reform
0 The Editor of The SIR.

To the Editor of The Star:
My attention has beer called to the
article and editorial appearing in The
Star on July 4 regarding the pronosed
land tax for Washington. Since Wash
ngton is my home town" and since
political economy is my chief study. I
1eel entitled to speak to you on this
subject.
The single tax is a label that is
conveniently used to crush by ridicule
an economic reform that cannot be
crushed by reason. Once this phrase
has been invoked the argument is set
tied. I will not, therefore, continue it.
1 only wish to say that it is the refusal
OF leaders Of public opinion to support
this essential reform which is compell-
ing me, and others like me, to embrace
socialism
1 do not believe that government
ownership and operation of industry or
government coercion of privately owned
INDUSTRY is desirable. I believe in eco
homlc freedom for the individual Just as
| believe IN political freedom for him.
But l know that until a correct distinc-
ton between social property and private
property is drawn economic freedom for
the individual is incompatible with
social order
II. therefore, you will not socialize
Soclally-created wealth but continue to
Soclallze individually created wealth bv
taxing the products of labor, then Won
must choose between government owner
snip or socialism and government CO.
ercion or facism.

Alice in Cumberland.

Il see by the papers," said Alice, rails
ing her eyebrows and turning the pages
OF The Star, that Representative Pal
mlsano is going to ask Auditor Donovan
if the District is a good risk and whether
it is safe for the United States Govern
ment to lend the District any money. Is
the District a good risk?"
Il would say the District is a rotten
risk if I said anything" the White Rab-
bit replied, plnching the Queens ear,
but do not intend to say anything. So
there!"
But why is the District a bad risk?"
asked Alice
Because 1t has no government" said
the White Rabbit, and when there is
no government there is anarchy and
when there is anarchy it is a good time
for money lenders to close up shop and
get out of town"
DO you mean there is anarchy in the
District of Columbian" asked Alice.
OF course not, you impudent child"
said the White Rabbit. Il shall have YOU
shot at sunrise for treason, only nv
watch seems to have stopped and I fear
there Will be none"
NO What?" asked Alice, becoming
rather pale.
mo treason said the White Rabbit.
That is, no loan. You see, it is this way,
you silly child: The District has no gov
ernment except Congress and Congress
Will make no loans to any government
it cannot trust Except defaulting gov
ernments, like European governments
because it must conserve the peepuls
money"
DO the peepul have any money!"
asked Alice.
Certainly not" said the White Rab-
bit. The reason Congress will not lend
any money to the District is that Con-
gress does not trust Congress, which is
perfectly natural. If you were Congress
you would not trust Congress, would
you?"
But" said Alice Indignantly, IF I
were Congress I would certainly trust
Congress, just as would trust myself"
Then it is a very good thing you are
not Congress" said the White Rabbit.
because We would be in a fine state of
affairs, indeed, which is precisely where
we are today"
Alice was about to pursue the subject
further but held her tongue, for the
White Rabbit had gone sound asleep
and by this time was snoring loudly.

Neutrality's Rocky Road.

Great Britain's strenuous efforts to
hasten the end of carnage in Spain by
the withdrawal of foreign volunteers"
from both the Loyalist and Insurgent
armies have come to naught. The Nom

puSillanimous body of twenty seven
nations which, for the past year, has
gone through the motions of preserving
neutrality in the conflict, has once again
agreed to disagree.

The Western world might have had
the benefit of printing centuries before
the invention of Gutenberg. Block
printing had been invented in China,
but when it reached the Islamic world
on its way Westward the scribes rose in
arms They were producing beautiful
manuscripts, far better than any printer
could turn out. Printing had to hurdle
this barrier to get into Europe. Not
until about 200 years ago was a press
allowed in Turkey, and only within the
past few years has the Koran been
printed. 1t would have been blasphemy
to Allah, the scribes maintained.
In Paris the introduction of printing
was delayed for 20 years by the hostility
of the guild Of scribes. 1t was frovned
Il thank God there are no free schools
nor thinking" wrote Gov Berkeley in
1910, 'and hope we shall not have them
these hundred years. Learning has
brought disobedience and heresy and
sects into the world, and printing had
divulged them and hbels against the
best government"
Stereotyping machinery was first in
troduced in Edinburgh in 1725. The
opposition was so bitter that the in
ventor, William Ged, had to abandon it
and it did not come into use until a
century later.
Congress was accused Of irresponsible
extravaganza when it appropriated $780,
600 for an experimental telegraph line
in 1843. The appropriation was passed
only by margin of eight votes. Even
the reckless New Dealers of the day who
had thus squandered the peoples money
regretted it.
True enough, the experiment was a
success-but what good was it? Just a
scientific toy. There was a limit in those
days to the recklessnesS of legislators
with other peoples money, and when
the Nation was offered all rights to the
invention for the scandalous sum of
100000 the proposition was Indignantly
defeated
This, again, seemed ordinary common
sense. Two years after the first tele-
graph line was installed the receipts for
a quarter were S203.43. Thus were the
ck-brained claims of the inventor
exposed.
The telephone Jared little better at
first. 1t was denounced as an instru-
ment Of the devil, disturbing the tran
quillity of the countryside and inducing
nervous breakdoWns among its users
The inventor was ridiculed as crank
and charlatan. AS late as 1914 an
eminent economist declared:
Its ubiquitous presence conduces to
an unremitting nervous tension and un-
rest wherever it goes"

Community Chest Asks
Details of Waitress Case
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
A letter from Mrs Louise S. w. Martin
In The Star of July 10 tells Of waitress
from whose pay was deducted a contri-
button to the Community Chest The
whole situation is so contrary to the
WISHES OF the Community Chest that I
should like to have Mrs. Martin, the wait
reSs IN question and all who read the
letter note the following facts:
% The Chest does everything pos
slble to assure contributions being made
on voluntary basis and has repeatedly
stated that If contributors are in any
way coerced by employers or SuperiorS
into contributing, we will cancel the
pledge or refund any payment that has
been made upon statement of the facts
by the contributor. In only a few cases
have such repaymentS been asked for
and our promise has been kept in each
case.
90 This is the first time that I have
ever heard of an employer transferring a
pledge from one employe to another or
securing a new pledge in the middle of
the year. We have sometimes been criti-
clzed for not having pledge cards avail
able for new employees to sign whenever
they entered upon new job but there
have been seemingly excellent reasons
against such practice. But certainly to
deduct weekly contribution for which
no pledge had been signed and which
had not been authorized by the con-
trloutor is absolutely contrary to our
policies and no such arrangement has
ever been suggested to us by an employer
nor has any such payment been reported
to us.
go Thus far this situation is anonv-
nous But I shall greatly appreciate it if
Mrs. Martin will let me know the exact
circumstances and the names of the
employer and the employe. so that we
can follow it up. The Chest has no de-
sire to receive money that is extorted
from unwilling contributors or to secure
contributions from people who can i'll
afford to make even small gift. 7 shall
be glad to 90 further into this matter. or
any other similar ones. if I NAV have
the full facts upon which to proceed
We occasionally receive ANONYMOUS COM
plants, but naturally there is nothing
that we can do about it unless we know
the people involved and can go to them
directly and reaffirm to them the princi-
pies upon which the Community Chest
is organized
We want every possible voluntary gift
because the Chest, representing as it
does curative and preventive social work
OF many kinds, carried on by more than
oo member agencies, knows the tragedy
which faces people in need when other
people. who have resources, fail to
understand or to appreciate how essen
tial it is for all of us who have to be
good nelghborS to those who have not
But because the gift without the giver
is bare" we want gifts to be voluntary as
well as generous
