'HANpwRITINc ON THE WALL

Certoin labor leaders in the United
Stotes today set themselves and their
demonds above the welfare and sofety
of the nation.
To enforce their demands, whot-
ever they happen to be, they do not
hestote to imperil the lives. not only
of the workers themselves, but Of every
man. woman and child in our country.
Standing behind the cloak Of free
dom which they enjoy in this land, they
are deliberately pursuing q course
which may we'll destroy thot freedom,
and destroy with it the labor movement
they prostitute for financial gain and
power.
They dictote to government as we'll
as to industry and the worker. There
is only one force that can control them
public opinion, which eventually
controls government.
The welfare of the public is today
threatened on all sides by rule or ruin
labor leadership.
First, our national defense is at
stake.
Second, the notions supply Of cool
is depleted to the danger point by
strikes and threatened strikes.
Third, farm production is discour-
oqed through increased costs the farm
er cannot meet.
The development of little Dictator
ships was proctieed in foreign lands
until helpless people accepted Q total
political dictatorship which finally des-
troyed personal liberty and labor liberty
as we'll.
Labor must realize that when the
sofety of the nation is in jeopardy, any,
thing can happen. If the people are
driven too far, they will be forced to
demand government dictatorship
thot will end labor dictatorship. And
if that happens, the eventual result will
be the destruction Of the kind Of free
dom we have all enjoyed.

The other day q large Western light

tax bill. The compilation shows wildly
what the electric industry means to the
United States.
This one compony's total bill for
toxes was something over $22, Sd 900,
and was by far its largest item Of ex-
pense. This amounted to an increase
Of almost So 500, 900 over its 1889 tax
bill. About three-fourths Of the in
crease represented q jump in Federal
income taxes.
Total Federal toxes came to little
more than 100000. Stote taxes
added up to more than $500, 900.
And local toxes-poid to the Al coun-
ties and l58 municipalities in which
the company operotes-exceeded 49,
GIG, 900. The largest city served by the
company drew over S. ,845, 900.
What is true in this oose is true in
the 48 stotes where such companies
pay annually some $500, 900, 900 in
taxes. The private power industry is one
of the biggest and most dependable
toxpoyers. 1t will bear very. import

Younger the troinee, the longer his e<-
perience remains Of value to the notion.
Every generation must make its own
world. Il is the young who have the
oreotest stoke in what kind Of world
Ri sholI be, for it is they who must live
longest in it.
Thus. while it seems shameful in q
way that they should have to face the
chonce Of being cut down in war be-
fore they have had chance to probe,
deeply into the worlds beauties lond
It's uuliness) it is also they who hold the
long stoke.
Some have argued that it is older men
Who should be sent out to the wars,
since they have already drunk deeply
al iife's fountains and have so much
less to lose. But il is by that very tok-
.en that they cannot be entrusted with
the future. To Marshal Petoin, stumbI-
