kens of those foreigner with n deep
wrderstanding- of all the problems to

open covenants openly arrived at"
throwing wide the doors to the
aeoaions of tha committee in settling

gatee— and in fact all other matters
aiming before it That is sound and
same and will work good for every-
body o ’
These delegate and lobby idol at
Chicago need not depend too much on
their personal attire— it ia the votes
they Jeliver rather than their dress
that will count in the finals
quantity and quality with a corre-Fi-ondi
ig rate of pay for the worker
’ho cannot reach the first standard
In the past the worker have
claimed that they have been speeded
tip too much by the manufacturers
end have met that issue by fixing an
arbitrary limit upon production in
certain fields while some manufac-
ture! a have beer contending that Che
men ard women in the trade have not
been doing an honest amount of work
for the pay Piece work tended to
drive the workers too fast according
t’i their own view of it and waa ev-
erywhere discouraged by the unions
pny by the week regardless of the
amount of work performed has not
been satisfactory to the manufacturers

lad that it would be good for Ar-
wrnta but why not Mexico?

ticipated there in the referendum
New York farmers cast 60686 votes
Illinois ' showed third in voting
strength in the refenrendum casting

The farmers’ referendum was ta-
ken on a bill introduced in the house
al Washington providing for the rail-
i' g of public reverces by a tax oa
the privileges of the use and enjoy-
ment of lands of targe value Thu
Kll provides “that all persons firms
associations and corporation owning

tag upon the privilege of the use and
enjoyment of such excess at the rate
of 1 per centum"
In sending the referendum to the
farmers the American Farm Bureau
h (deration said in explanation:
“Thu abject of this act ia to raise
public revenues It is not supposed
that it will do away entirely with
hut be supplementary to the present
iiieoma tax laws The proponents o?
tnis and simitar measures believe
that land does not at present beat
it just proportion of taxes as com-
pared to the industries
“In considering this act you shoulJ
rot allow the fact that the revenues
therefrom will come in princtpflt part
trom the farmer to prejudice your
judgment but should consider it in
relation to fairness to other interests
and whether or not it would be of
sufficient burden to effect land val-
ues rentals or income and thus af-
fect production”

n favor of an extra land tax came
