WHENEVER the "predatory interests" want
W something - and want it very much - the
Gallup Poll and the Brookings Institution, a re-
search organization located in Washington, are
sure to come to their assistance.
Just now the predatory interests" are desper-
ately endeavoring to avoid paying their share OF
the cost Of this They wish to place the great
er part of the burden on the shoulders of the poor
and the moderately We-to-do
They are pushing two propositions-a 10 per
cent Federal sales tax and the Ruml Plan, camou-
faged as pay-as-y you-go scheme
Within the last week the Brookngs Institu-
caring a sales tax is just about the only way to
solve our tax difficulties, and DR.. Gallup hastens
to announce that he has made a Survey" and
finds that 80 per cent of the American people
understand the Ruml Plan and are in favor of it's
enactment by Congress. Clearly, both institutions
are running true to form.
There is not a shred of evidence to support the
claim that 90 per cent of the American people
favor the Ruml Plan. On the contrary those who
do understand it are almost unanimous in their
opposition 1t is the most brazen raid the Public
Treasury ever attempted in the history of this
country. 1t would deprive Uncle Sam of billions at
time when he is in desperate need of more
money.
The chief beneficiares would be the war
profiteers. 1t is easy to demonstrate the truth of
that statement
If Congress will call on the Treasury for list
of the 900 heaviest individual income tax payers,
the whole story will be laid bare. That list will
show that very limited number of the very rich
would Save" hundreds of millions under the
nefarious scheme.
After that expose not a handful of legislators
would dare to vote for the Ruml Plan.

HIRING PREJUDICES COSTLY

THE "EXTRAVAGANT privilege of racial and
= other prejudices" in employment are practices
so costly that the nation can afford to tolerate
them no longer. Fowler F. Harper, deputy War
ManpoWer Commission chairman pointed out in a
recent address at Cleveland.
"Many industries" Harper said, "have allowed
themselves the extravagant privilege of racial and
other prejudices in the employment of their
workers. Such practices are costly = costly in
morale, costly in the that they create under
privileged classed and costly in the spiritual tone
of the community. Now they are costly in the
terms of the production. So costly that the ma
tion can afford to tolerate them no longer.
Before this war can be won, production
schedules which few months ago would have
seemed impossible must be maintained and sur
passed Such production program cannot be
achieved unless the full and complete labor re-
sources of the nation are utilized This utilization
must be made without regard to race, color, re-
ligion or national origin"

POLL TAX MUST GO

A MERICA MUST erase the blot of the poll tax
1 at once if it expects to face the world as a
sincere advocate for freedom and democracy. A
bill to accomplish this purpose was passed by the
House in the last session and blocked in the
Senate only by a flibuster That disgraceful cpl
sode permitted our enemies to shame us. 1t is the
duty of the new Congress to act without delay to
abolish the poll tax in the few states where it
still exists-American Federation of Labor

Not lukewarm, nor insipid-
1t takes irritation, to bring about

Great migrations happen, not only

In resistance to these pressures,
changes come, sometimes violent
So tha what we call progress of

Is probably just the knockers club,

Cycles within cycles
Eleven-year cycles of trees grow

Coinciding with cycles of alternating
brightness of sun-spots-
One cycle following, and supplement-

Periods of rain, better crops, i'm

Surplus population, in later years,
according to varying effect of energy
Sometimes in military effort, again
in intellectual or cultural product
Industrial efficiency nting for
trade outlets, foreign markets
Whether by commerce or by cumula-
tive effect of all these
These forces rub against each other,
resulting in friction

Natural interferences arrive
Pests and pestileneces discoveries tip
the scales the other way
Upsetting all efforts to clarity classi-

Nevertheless there seem to be gold

Come rolling their snow-balls of heat

Piling up glacial periods around

Laying down fresh-water lake-bot-

Later to be drained, where high

Awaiting thrust of gang plow, har-
vesters combined, heaping army

For cohorts which fly, and glide,

What cycles are these? What mill

Diameters which draw into such

There is an inheritance of intelli-

There is, also, that fitting field of

With the first American
troops to enter Fedela and Ca
sablanca, was Pvt. Andrew
Schuster, %, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Schuster, 1881
Norwood Rd./
Pvt. Schuster is now at home,
with a definite dislike and dis
trust of the French, who have
sided with the Axis. AS he has
related, the American troops
entered Fedela, confident that
the French would not resist
them, but to their utmost sur
prise, hidden French snipers
attacked them Immediately up
on their entrance. A bitter bat
tie followed before it was pos
sible to subdue the attackers.
1t was on the second day of the
battle that Pvt. Schuster was
wounded.
Struck twice on the back by
shrapnel from French shells,
Pvt. Schuster remained con-
scious, but was paralyzed from
his waist down. Another shell
exploded only a few feet away
from him, but he miraculously
escaped further injury. He then
crawled in a hole made by the
exploding shell, and built a
mound as an added protection
against any shelling. While in
the hole another shell knocked
his helmet off, and injured the
back of his head. Eight hours
had passed before Pvt. Schuster
was found and brought to an
Army base hospital, where he
remained for quite some time
before coming back to the
United States.
