Too Many Tax Dodgers

The District of Columbia has
too many tax dodgers. That is
why we home-owners have to
pay such high taxes. There is a
first-claSs boarding house here.
It has from 95 to 100 boarders
the year around, besides week
end tranSients. Pay is $40 per
month, with two meals per day,
besides other charges they pay.
And they don't have to pay any
tax or license. It isn't run for
charity, but for profit. If they
have no job or no means to pay
they get out like any other
boarding house. AS for the pay
of the help, it is the poorest pay
of any jobs in the District. They
are the ones that preach and
teach social justice and don't
practice it themselves. Please
print but don't use the name,
and oblige. j. ].

Wants Comment

Maybe your paper had some
thing in it shout the recent news
that New College, an expert
mental project Of Columbia Uni
versity in New York City, was
being abolished because it has
become too radical. But if so, I
failed to see anything.
In Time magazine for Novem-
Der 20 there is an item under
Education" which hints that
New College is to be summary
"liquidated" because, among
other things, its faculty men,
bers sympathized with the COL
lege's striking cafeteria work
ers. It's faculty also Showed
too keen an interest in contemo-
rary problems"
The reason given to the pub
lie for closing New College by
Dean Russell does not seem to
hold up under logical scrutiny.
He AYERS that the experiment
has served its purpose and that
the expense is not justified fur
ther. The New College has been
running for seven years and its
annual deficit Is $4,000. In
view of the annual budget of
Teachers College (of which it
is a part) of $3,865, 900. the item
referred to seems rather small
in view Of the results secured.
I am disappointed not to read
an Illuminating editorial on
this matter in your liberal paper
or to see some comment from
persons informed on this edu-
cational project.

In my first group are those

The second is composed of the

State of the Union. Travel is
taken as a matter Of course by
them. I'm sure that T. P.

there remains only one place

Proud But Not Content

Every true American is a firm
believer in the capitalistic sys-
tenn. We, as Americans, should
be very proud that in our coun-
try a man is still entitled to the
fruits of his labors.
We should be proud, but let
us not be too content with the
system as it is. Too many OF
our rich business firms continue
to put their worship of money
above the love of God.
Very recently a man lost
everything he had in the world
in his business. He salvaged
what he could, cashed in his
last insurance policy and of
fered to pay his creditors on a
percentage basis. He did this
because he discovered that If he
went into bankruptcy, there
would be nothing for the credi-
tors.
Every creditor except one,
which happened to be the
wealthiest firm, agreed to &C.
cept a percentage in full pay
ment of the obligation instead
of forcing the man into bank
ruptcy- and receiving nothing.
Yes! Capitalism must stay,
but for the benefit of the coun-
try, capitalists like this must
and shall go!
