This day is characterized by energy

When properly directed this is a

of its aims, intelligent in resources,

careful, systematic planning. But it
is sometimes necessary that the ener-

Madn1an Battles
Police in Vain Try
ToDive Off Ledge

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O NOf)-h
madman climbed to a ledge on the
ninth floor of the Bellevue hospital
psychopathic ward today and for
an hour threatened to jump until
a hospital attendant and police
captured him in a brief struggle
that almost plunged five persons
to death.
The madman was william
Ahearn, patient who had been
adiudged insane and was awaiting
transportation to an asylum.
A fireman, hospital attendant and
several policemen took turns try
ing to cajole him into reach OF a
hand net. Then a police lieutenant
offered Ahearn a cigarette. While
the madman's attention was dis
tracted, other policemen crept up
on each side and grabbed his
arms.
His struggles to break loose al
most pitched the men holding him
over the ledge but they managed to
drag him away from the brink.

A READER OBJECTS To
SINGLE TAX EDITORIAL

The Post-PreSS,
Dear Sir: You ask "Who would be Farm
ers under Single TAXI" The present
amendment proposed in California is not
"single tax, but let's skip that. Let me
tell you who would NOT be farmers
under "single-tax" so called. NOT insur-
ance companies, banks, railroads, and
other absentee" land holders who pay
no California sales taxes compared to
what the farmer pays. Not the mortgage
foreclosures with their dull, deadening
fake interest eXactions so far as land
mortgages are concerned. Not the fancy
pants, seventh story farmers who farm
the dirt farmers.
We ask you, brother, who is going to
farm or be farmers under the land specu-
lator system if we keep it up? The state?
Farm tenancy is on the up turn and
NOT because of "single tax or any ten
dency in the direction. What a record!
Twenty-Five per cent farm tenancy in
the u. S. in 1880, over AZ per cent in
1880. Iowa farmers, whose parents broke
the land for crops, are over so per cent
tenants. Iowa banks that broke all state
records for failure were stuffed to the
gills by land mortgages, not insult, Steel
or other hated Wall Street stocks. They
- the land gamblers -. turned honest
farmers into land spectators, and all
paid thru the nose, few ''profiting" either
up or down.
And do you think farm land prices go
lower as taxes are removed from real
estate?" Do you think farm mortgages
become less in quantity or in amount un-
der the tricky slogan ''tax relief for
Gland gamblers) real estate? Do you
think it helps farm owning and farm
working to pay hidden taxes shifted by
mproved-business property and tangible
personal property in cities as higher
prices? Do you think it helps to have to
borrow more money, have bigger land
mortgage, pay more for materials, equip
ment, etc, because of taxes so far as
farm owning is concerned? Do you think
it wise, editor, to do all this? The results
prove otherwise Is it easier to pay taxes
such as described, sales taxes, interest
fake interest so far as creative holding
is concerned - taxes on improvements
and tangible personal property than to
pay taxes based on sheer location land
values alone as is the case in Irrigation
districts?
Who will be farmers under Single
Tax? Farmers, oh, wise editor! Farmers
Dirt farmers! Working farmers Family
sized farmers! Farmers who can own
their farms?
Yours,
n. d. ALPER,
Exec. Secy. Tax Relic

NO ROOM FOR UNIONS
ON RELIEF PROJECTS

In many of the greatest cities OF the
United States today it is virtually inn
possible for an unemployed person to
remain on WPA job unless he belongs
to the Workers Alliance, a C1O union
formed solely for the purpose OF organ
izing relief workers. Aims of the union
are to obtain higher wages for rellet
workers, to dictate conditions under
which they will work, and to Influence
the politics of its members.
Of all the vari-hued labor unions that
have sprung up in the last few years,
there seems least excuse for the Workers
Alliance. If for no other reason, tins
would be true because the Workers ALI
ance demands and receives as dues a
part of the money paid to persons who
should use 1t to purchase the necessities
of life they are supposed to need so bad
ly. Thus the money paid by taxpayers
for the purpose of aiding the needy finds
its way instead into the Golfers of
labor union dedicated to the task of
making the WPA not a relief agency,
but an agency to guarantee employment
to Workers Alliance members.
The theory of WPA, as we under
stand it, is that it is supposed to provide
jobs only to those who cannot find jobs
in private industry, and only as long as
they cannot find private jobs. 1t is, in
the last analysis, charitable institu-
ton. This being the case, certainly there
is something wrong with situation in
which the recipients of charity band to-
gether to tell their benefactors (the tax
payers):
'You must pay us higher wages. You
must guarantee us better jobs. If you
don't we shall strike"
Perhaps it is an old-fashioned view
point, but we think that, if an INDECENT
person stopped us on the street to ask
for a handout, and then refused to take
a quarter because the union to which he
belongs will not let him accept less than
a dollar, we should walk on without CIV
ing him anything.
Perhaps it is true that the government
cannot take action to disband the Work
ers Alliance-but it is equally true that
the government, and WPA as a govern
mental agency, CAN ignore it.

Bruce Cation Says
The Hines Trial Should be Citizens Eye-O Opener

The New York trial of Tammany
District Leader Jimmy Hines is GER
tainly providing first rate elemen-
tary course in civics for the enight-
enment of the ordinary citizen.
Whether Mr.. Hines is acquitted
or convicted, his trial is painting
in unmistaakable colors the classic
picture of political corruption in its
relation to organized crime.
If your memory goes back few
years, you will recall that until the
advent of Mayor LaGuardia, Tam

At the same time, the big shot un-
derworld was the late Dutch
Schultz. According to the evidence
presented thus far, Schultz struck
a bargain with certain Tammany
bigwigs.
Under the bargain, Schultz was
to operate with minimum of po-
lice interference. In return, the po-

OUR COMPLEX TRAFFIC
PROBLEM

(Oroville Mercury-Register)
Perhaps the world is geared too high
Maybe we would be more contented and
live longer if we could slow down the
tempo.
We might as we'll become reconciled,
however, to the fact that we are living
in high speed age and that we have
to recognize this fact or suffer the con-
sequences.
A motorist in MADEIRA was arrested for
driving too slowly when police charged
he was going only 20 miles an hour in a
45-mile zone and was endangering safety.
One could hardly imagine an automo-
bile driver being arrested few years
ago for going 20 miles an hour. Yet to-
day those who realize the need of keen
ing the traffic moving maintain that a
20-mile an hour driver on a high speed
thoroughfare can bring congestion. ac-
