CARRYING FAIR PLAY INTO

The LaFollette civil liberties commit

By the same token it seems only right
to suggest that the committee also inves-

Too Much Laughing :.
LeUiS Cracks q Joke :.

WASHINGTON. - Getting COM
ment on the offer of John L. Lewis
to quit the C. I. o. if William Green
would resign the A. F.. of L. presi-
dency was rather difficult because
the outstanding people in the field
of labor and labor relations couldn t
discuss it for laughing.
Friends of Lewis generally agreed
with his foes that the CLIO. leader
never suspected for a ronent that
Green would accept his OFF,. Ec5
those most desirous Of labor peace
feel something was due to ease the
effect of the bitterness which had
come from the A. F. of LIS Houston
convention. A rather general feel
ing in Washington that Green has
been made to appear ridiculuS by
an adroit Lewis thrust is not based
on any dislike for Green. II Is
relished because Green has been
breathing fire and birthstone at a
time when nearly everyone is fed
up on the A. F.. of L.-C. |. O. war
fare.
Editorial writer's everywhere have
hastened to suggest that Mr. Green's
resignation accompanied by that of
Mr.. Lewis would be good thing.
Lewis may have improved his
public relations. which badly need
improvement. He hoped to embar-
rass the A. F. of L. by what would
seem a fair offer to many rank
and file union members. He would
be willing to see Green accept the
offer because he thinks the A. F..
of L. leaders behind Green would
get into a mess as they battled for
the presidency.
Much more may be heard from
President Dan Tcbin Of the teams
ters' union, who has been protest

HULSE CALLS SINGLE
TAX PLAN FANTASTIC


Partial text of letter from Ben Hulse,
former state SENATOR to Mayor II. W.
FaWcett of Ell Centre follows
AS chief executive of one of the most
thriving municipalities in any agricul-
tural district in California, supported
in majority by revenues derived from
our lands, | feel it my duty as a resident
taxpayer and former state official to i'm
press upon you the more dangerous as
pect of Proposition No. 20 which will
appear on the ballot at the November
election.
"Propostion No. 20 has been camou-
flaged in order that it might not arouse
the suspicion and investigation of those
residents of this state interested in build
ing California. This proposition. if pass
ed, would take us strictly to a single tax
position wherein practically all monies
raised by taxing bodies for the mainten-
nance of our governmental bureaus and
schools could only be raised by the as
sessment of real properties.
You will readily note by reading this
Proposition carefully that its ultimate
interest is to tax real property only,
going so far as to eliminate all buildings
and personal properties of not only in
dividualS but of utilities leaving on the
1--WE need only look back to 1892 when
delinquencies on lands in this state had
risen to the point where property owners
throughout the state threatened tax
strike and which would have resulted in
the financial collapse of California.
But even then our taxing methods
were much more equitable than they
would be with Proposition No. 20 in force
Therefore, it is obvious that with more
fantastic and ineQuitable taxing system,
such as Proposition No. 20, California
would Immediately go bankrupt, stop
ping the function of all governmental
forces, closing our schools and forever
eliminating any possibility of having
loans placed or credits granted real
estate owners. And, in my opinion, it
would even go further by throwing the
loaning agencies, who in the past have
made liberal loans on real properties,
into a frozen condition causing many
financial institutions to go bankrupt
along with the state.
you will recall that during 1881 and
1882 delinquencies in our county reached
a high of more than thirty per cent,
comparable to conditions throughout the
state. This year the delinquencies in our
county have been reduced to approx
mately eleven per cent which, | am in
formed, is also comparable to conditions
throughout the state, indicating a very
healthy condition from the land owners
and taxpayers standpoint. This condi-
tion was arrived at only through the
1888 legislatures broader and more
equitable taxing basis in order that suf-
ficient relief might be given the property
owners to save them from bankruptcy
or the sale of their properties to the
state.
I'm conclusion, Mr.. Mayor, | want to
say again that if by ballot the people of
the State of California make Proposition
No. 20 into law all the power of the
Legislature and the Governor in the way
of moratoriums cannot save this state
from complete financial destruction"

as the humble have. These men
were Lloyd George and Lord Roth
schild.
Lloyd George was known the
world over for his iron Will and
bitter fighting qualities.
Lord Rothschild, the first of his
race and religion to be raised to
Englands House of Lords, was as
powerful in the financial world as
Lloyd George was in political life.
The quarrel started over a mat
ter of England's budget, and grew
increasingly bitter. The two men
hated each other to the point of
loathing.
One day Lloyd George got up in
Parliament and attacked Lord
Rothschild in words that tipped
and sized and snarled.
Did Lord Rothschild sit meekly
with his hands folded and take it?
OF course not! He trotted out
words that made Lloyd Georges
phrases appear like the cooing Of
a dove. The men hated each other
by day, they hated each other by
night.
Along came the World War.
Lloyd George was then Chan
cellor of the Exchequer. The al
lies were fighting for their lives.
Money Money! That was the cry
Lloyd George had to raise it. One
man knew more about this thsn
any other man. in England-Lord
Rothschild.
Lloyd George said I'm not go
ing TO yet our personal battle defeat
England. Send for Lord Roths-
child Then he thought a moment.
NO. Get him on the telephone.
Tell him 1 want to speak to him. -
Lord Rothschild on the telephone,
Lloyd George said, Il want to ask
a great favor of you. viii you come
TO see me-"
Lord Rothschild hesiiated. Was
this some new political trick? But
he came.
The two men faced each other
q moment. Then Lloyd George
stepped forward and extended his
hand.
We've had some unpleasantness
in our time. Now we are faced by
am issue bigger than ourselves. Let's
bury the past and work together.
VIII you?'
"Of course, I will. What can l
do?"
Lloyd George explained and Lord
Rothscnild undertook the work.
Now comes the astonishing part.
As the two men worked side by
side, they began tc respect each
other; each found the other had
some line traits.

MiSSourianS dldnt see all OF lniS
as a grand opportunity to gouge
the rich folks.
They insisted on looking on the
great mass of newcomers as Their
guests. The movie people actually
had to argue, and argue hard, to
get their hosts to take money for
their rooms. The restaurant-keep-
ers never thought of boosting their
prices, but went right on selling
chicken dinners for so cents.
When home town talent was
wanted for use in mob scenes, the
townsfolk weren't especially eager
to take money for that, either. They
were giad to help out, of course
but they didn't see any particular
reason why they ought to be paid
for it. And although people came
from miles around to watch the diff
ferent scenes being shot, they stay
ed put when the directors asked
them to and kept quiet when the
sound cameras were turning-and
proved infinitely easier to handle
than a dozen casual visitors on
studio set back in Hollywood.
All of which was something of
an eye-opener to the movie people,
who aren't used to that kind OF
world And the rest of us-Who
aren't any too used to it, either
may mediate on the incident and
use it as measuring rod to gauge
the shortcomings of our modern
society.
For The innocent, unsophisticated
friendlness of that small town Is
the sort of thing which once was
all but universal in this country.
The books written by foreign Wis
itorS in the last century prove that;
so, too. do the individual men,
orieS OF a great many living Amer
leans.
But the way of life which was
natural to rural, small-town, horse
and-buggy America is not at all
natural TO the complex, citified So
ciety we have today. The pace
has grown too swift, the compeu-
tive struggle has grown too keen
we rub elbows with too many peo-
pie, and are too constantly obliged
to remember that it's every man
for himself nowadays.
We have lost something, in de-
velopine this modern civilization
that we're so proud of-lost some
thing precious and irreplaceable.
We may yet conclude that what
we have gained in its place does
not quite make it up to us for the
loss.

Experts Study Organization.
Experts of the economics ministry
meanwhile, are studying how the
wholesale "Aryanization' of Jewish
capital may be handled without do
ing serious harm to the national
interest.
Some economists point out that
| the transfer does not necessarily
mean increased or improved en-
ployment, since large portions OF
Jewish capital long have been en-
ployed In industry.
The whole upset.. they say, may
mean no improvement in the gen.
eral business situation.
Walther Funk. economics minis
ter, likely had this in mind when
he urged last Tuesday that "care
must be taken that the displace-
ment and tying up Of great capital
sums in the Aryanization process
shall not hamper the money market
IN providing funds for investment in
Reich loans or other necessary
purposes"
Sensitive Market Expected.
Bankers, nevertheless, predicted q
sensitive market for the next few
months because of the large
amounts of capital involved and

situation.

being closely watched. Bankers
were notified a few days ago they
should not accept orders to sell

handle sales up to 1000 marks

at once depressed exchange prices.

Another asserted ruefully that the
