Discussing this theory in a speech at’ Milwaukee recently, Thomas said his party's program is for peaceful socialization of industry by taxation and a capital levy if possible, but by confiscation if necessary. He said there is no single method of trans- ferring industry to the nation which would fit all times and circumstances but that the right of “confiscation for the social good” is unquestion- able. Mr. Thomas says that immediate confiscation is not the Socialist aim but that the party would not shy at it, asserting: “In case of blind and violent resistance by an owning class there will be no alternative to confiscation. If actual ownership of capital becomes consolidated, along with control wholly in the hands of a tiny group, confisca- tion will be the answer. “But while there is yet the op- Portunity the Socialist party wants to use the methods which will arouse the least opposition and least disturbance.” He preferred socialization by purchase, financed by taxation and a capital levy, because “such ® policy would fall equitably on the owners of all large industry and give most promise of a Peaceful transition period from private to socialized industry. Violent revolution might prove more costly than a reasonable purchase price for socialized in- dustry ...” “In the case of public utilities and trusts, we should acquire them, if necessary, by condemna- tion and with water and false values squeezed out. We should pay in bonds, not of the govern- ment but of the socialized indus- ry. These bonds should be amor- "tized in 30 years. The income from these bonds and the inher- itance of them should be subject to the same drastic, graduated taxes we should lay on all wealth.” That the desire to avoid confisca- tion is a matter of expediency rather than of principle the candidate makes plain. He would begin with the key industries, making purchase by the taxation and capital levy Processes, and continue the move- ment as rapidly as possible. The reason for this attitude is found in the following paragraph: Tunning Socialism fave ten tats “have ‘To confiscate therm, Ieaving other owners little touched, will be in- %equivable and demoralizing to any sort of conduct of industry.

The Prophet Lucas j (New York Times) | ‘You can't keep a good man down. Doubtless from motives of envy and Jealousy Republican bigwigs have been trying to silence or smother our old Kentucky friend, “Bob” Lucas, executive chairman of the Republi- can National Committee. He has been surveying the West and the Midwest from a Pullman car window and otherwise. His impressions were so rosy that he begged to illuminate | the white house with them. This year is to be a duplication of 1896, with the exception that the Repub- lican National Committee doesn’t have to take business men by the collar and make them subscribe. the Republican national ticket. They are gladly spending their time and money. Treasurer Nutt of the na- tional committee must be greatly re- lieved. If contributions to him are reported “slow,” it is because the business men are giving freely of their own accord to their own organ- izations. This campaign reminds Mr. Lucas of that of 1896, when he was eight years old. “October will see the country as much aroused as in the free-silver campaign.” More super- ficial observers have seemed to de- tect a sort of sullen or angry apathy, combined with a determination to hit the G. O. P. hard for falsifying its reputation as the bringer and keeper of flush times. But Mr. Lucas is re- vered for his independent judgment. Business men, “large and sinall,” are ! organizing on their own hook; and “even the warkingmen are now con- vinced that a change in administra- tion would be a setback to restora- tion of prosperity.” Everything is for the best of parties. Four weeks of Republican talk on the radio will convince such voters as are still in doubt. Mr. Lucas leaves the farm- ers out because Mr. Hoover is going to win them back today. ‘That's the way to talk. Mr. Lucas is one of the most earnest disciples of Coue.

If you recognize the nature of the one of the best remedies is kerosene (coal oil) kept applied for an hour. This kills the insects without too greatly irritating your skin. The kerosene should be kept applied con- stantly, or if it is possible the af- fected surface immersed in it for half an hour or longer. In chigger regions it is necessary to sweep accumulations of dust from walls and floors, and to use insecti- cide powder such as pyrethrum freely. The application of odorous lotions to the skin tends to repel chiggers just as it repels mosquitoes. A mixture of equal parts of olive oil, oil of tar, oil of cedar and oil of citronella makes @ good mosquito dope and offers some protection against chiggers. A drop of turpentine on the spot, or even a quid of chewing tobacco discourages the burrowing propensi- ties of a chigger, but the kerosene treatment is the best all around puli- cide, provided the person using it “= care to avoid proximity to flame.

I’m going to entertain your precious uncle my- self. Thank God for nervous head- aches. You've got a beastly one. Run along.” She waved the hesitat- ing girl upstairs. “Spanish grandees are just duck soup for me, dear,” she assured the girl, “especially when my plans for the day have been all shot to hell.” So it came about that Paco Mo- rales, a moment later, was bowing over the hand of Aunt Clara and listening with polite interest to the fable of Adela’s headache. Aunt Clara lost no time in making that part clear. “Adela’s in my room now, The girl is on the verge of going to pieces. 1 know, of course, what's passed, and if you don’t mind a candid woman's opinion, I’ve been wondering how an intelligent man like you can at times make such a deplorable ass of himself.” parted. “She ¢ some com~- ran away,” he said, mon peon girl.” “Of course she did, and for the same fundamental reason—love.” Aunt Clara offered her guest a cigarette, then lighted one herself. “I wonder if you know how aston- ishing it seems to me to find you, of all men, baffled by this thing called Love. Paco Morales, I have known you—how many years is it? Ever since the major was first sta- tioned here, and that’s over thirty years. And 1 remember the tales | of those years, the wild romances of one Paco Morales when we were all much younger than we are now, and I wonder how one can so com- i pletely forget that love, when it | comes, takes us and makes us do its will. But instead of remembering. that high wisdom, you have acted toward Adela as if you didn’t know what youth or love or desire meant. And yet,” she smiled, “and yet I’ve reason to believe that you did.” “Sefiora,” interrupted the Span- iard, “it was not to talk of my youth 1 came here, but to bring back Adela.” The woman's voice was still pa- tient. “You're not being wise about this, Paco Morales, and yet men call you wise, as the world goes.” 4 (COPYRIGHT 1931, BY INTERNATIONAL “I am sorry.” “Listen.

But Adela is of this generation, and America’s ways lie near to her heart.” Coldly Morales raised his hand. “Sejiora, again you are mistaken. { do not come to theorize. { come for Adela. Please to tell her I am here.” Aunt Clara’s cigarette flared dan- gerously. Not often had men ad- dressed her in just that cold, in- sistent tone. She fought, not too successfully, for patience. Ignoring his command, she asked bluntly, “Just why do you object to Ted_Radcliffe?” “Object? In what sense, sefiora?” “You know perfectly well what I mean. Is there any good reason why he couldn't make Adela happy?” “Is there any good reason, sefiora, why very American adventurer hould be welcomed by me as Adela’s suitor?” Aunt Clara smiled, “I shouldn't be so sure about the adventurer part, Paco Morales. It's no secret that Ted Radcliffe will be a partner of Bob within the year.” “We waste time, sefiora, May 1 again remind you I come for Adela? And may | add that Mexican cus- tom gives the guardian unreserved custody of the ward?” The woman's color had height- ened. “In that case, isn’t it just too bad we're not in Mexico?” Morales’s eyebrows rose in pdlite curiosity. “I do not understand.” Aunt Clara’s patience had reached anend, “I mean you are now on American soil. What is more, you are on a military reservation of the United States. I mean further that Adela came to me for protection.
