Whuf Price Politics

Last Mondays performance of Council
men Howard w. Etchen and Addison q.
Thacher should be sufficient to convince
most of the thoughtful citizens of Toledo
that these two gentlemen are more con-
cerned with their political fortunes than
they are with the welfare of the city they
have sworn to serve.
While urgent matters Vitally affecting
the citizens of Toledo were by-passed,
Councilmen Etchen and Thacher put on
one of the most shameful political acts
that has occurred during the term of the
current Council. They debated about
whether or not Mr.. Etchen had given away
chickens and eggs for votes, and if il was
true, as Councilman Thacher charged il
was, that Mr.. Etchen had donated" the
same kind of gifts as door prizes to the
Fair and Square Clubs.
There can be no objection to candidates
for political office seeking support and
votes by legitimate and decent means; but
when our Council chamber becomes the
sounding board for the political bufOonery
of our elected public officials seeking re-
election, we object.
What further proof do the people Of
Toledo need of the character of this two
some, Councilmen Etchen and Thacher,
than that offered by the two last Monday?
What further evidence can be brought TO
show that public business paIes into insig-
nificance when compared with the political
fortunes of these two Council incumbents?
Toledo has an opportunity this fall TO
show its concern with its city government
1t has an opportunity to demonstrate that
1T is not 50 engrOSsed in the war that il
doesn't realize that good government be-
gins at home. Now is the time for us to
rid our city government of those who have
used 1T, not to advance the interests of the
citizens, but their own political fortunes.
Let us begin now to put our own house in
order and settle down to the business Of
making Toledo decent place to work and
live in. Your vote can do it.

Community War Chest

No better editorial could be written
about the Community War Chest Drive
than the plea written by Tom Burke in
behalf of the Chest. Here is Mr.. Burkes
message:
Members of CI0 locals, now number
ing approximately $4,000 employed in the
Toledo area, realize their responsibility to
the community in supporting the Chest
program.
During the last year, through CO.
operative efforts of Chest and CIO leaders,
many of our members and their families
have received aid and advice from the
health, chiId-care and family welfare serv-
ices sponsored by the Chest. So, it is only
natural that these families and their
friends are anxious to show their appreci-
alton by supporting the Chest to the fullest
extent.
I'm addition to helping our own folks
here at home, when we help the Greater
Toledo Community War Chest, we are
helping our own boys, brothers and fellows
who used to work next to us in the shops,
but who are now serving in the armed
forces. We know that such organizations
as the USO, United Seamen's Service and
War Prisoners Aid deserve all the help we
can give them by contributing to the an
nual Chest drive.
''And then, we must remember that
the National CI0 War Relief Committee,
headed by Monroe Sweetland, urges all
CI0 members to back the Community War
Chest movement throughout the country.
AS Philip Murray, president of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations says,
This great union of services avoids con-
fusion of effort and channels lab0r's
mighty contribution to the war and peace
efforts with a minimum of Embarrassing
expense
LAS chairman of the CIO Chest sOlici-
tatiOn for the Toledo area, | earnestly
urge all CIO members 10 give careful con-
sideration to their part in this great COM
munity effort and TO support the Chest
during the coming campaign as generously
as possible Signed-ThOmas II. Burke.
There is nothing we could add to this
good plea except to say that we are conf
dent that the CIO in Toledo will come
through again, the same as it always has
in supporting all worthy community pro-
jects, and this will be one of its most out
standing successes.

of opinion aside in the larger interest-our COM
mon danger on the political front
A GOOD BEGINNING
We have made a good beginning. Our or
ganizaton is growing and all those affiliated
showing an interest which we find very en-
couraging. If we can begin after this election to
build our organization stronger and stronger, and
| am convinced we can, will be power to be
reckoned with in 1914, and that is what are
pointing for.
Our beginning be made more en-
couragng if we are able to elect Tom Burke to
Council on November 2. l believe that our chances
of doing this are better than average and that

1t is my hope that every member of the unions
affiliated with Labors Joint Committee for Po-

will be the most disappointed in the results. 1t

TAXES AND TAXES
Every enlightened worker knows that there

protest about helping his government finance the
As a matter of fact, the workers of the
country want to support their government; but
they also want indeed, they insist that the re-
sponsibility for this financial support be dis
tributed equitably and that the people who are
least able to pay taxes not be saddled beyond
their ability to pay,
Simple justice demands that the sales tax be
defeated, and it is my hope that labor all over
the country will rise in its might and oppose any
tax which makes their burden out of proportion
to that of the big corporate interests which have
already amassed $4,000 million dollars of excess
corporation profit,
Workers of the country are already paying out
a large proportion of their earnings in taxes to
the government in addition to the money they are
spending for bonds, supporting worthy community
charities, War Chests and other projects. To
saddle them with an additional 10 per cent
tax will, to my way of thinking bring about loss
of morale which the country can ill afford to have
occur at this time.
RESTLESS
While most of the workers of the country are
restless and upset because of the activity of the
War Labor Board in denying all increases of
wages in cases where they are justifiable it
would be adding to the fire to slap another 10
per cent tax upon the workers, and that upon the
necessities of life which the workers must have (
And while the WLB holds down the workerA Z
wages in the interests of "Stabilizing our econ
omy," there is no comparable agency to take con-
troll over the corporate profits which are still on
the increase.
There must be no sales tax to work an in
justice upon labor. Write your congressman and
senator's tell them you oppose the sales tax and
state some of the reasons contained here. We
must defeat this tax it shall tend to defeat us
and the country.

are so much corn. He certainly
makes noise like a candidate

the southern politicians now but
as soon as he gets over the hump
the nominating convention -
then he'll go to the people di-
rectly on the issues. From then
on it's Roosevelt in good form on
the home stretch.

that some Roosevelt advisers
must think of the second front
as essentially popular with the
American people, and that once

the war the defeatists who are

It's interesting to note the tim
