And ywspaper and also the local spontaneous origin published Rana crc Gaps Tene in the annals of North Dakota which Governor Thomas H. Moodie sent to the assembly Friday. ‘To his newspaper friends it seemed as though some super editor had or- dered him to “hold it down.” Thus it had all the aspects of well-writ- ten news story. Moodie said what he had to say and quit. As a state and political paper it has other outstanding characteristics. One is the fact that it points te the Job to be done but is not specific as to the way of obtaining the goal. ‘That is left to the judgment, experi- ence and discretion of the assembly. The executive makes it clear that he has no intention of infringing on leg- islative duties or of attempting to dictate the terms of any bill. Presumably legislation will be in- troduced embodying the governor's ideas for making such changes as he deems wise. It is to be assumed that the assembly will be frankly advised by him on the details of such legisla- tion. The forthright character of his ‘message seems to insure such coopera- tion. It is only natural that any gover- nor, faced with a politically adverse legislature, should point to the need for ignoring political considerations if the interests of the state are to be served. Yet the situation which the governor outlined calls for such ac- tion much more loudly than could any individual. A quarter of a million People on relief, 50,000 families get- ting help from the government, taxes unpaid and drouth still stalking the land. These are factors which the legislature could not ignore even though the governor laid less stress ‘upon them. They are the things which are troubling the people and if the legislature fails to deal with them it will have failed to discharge the trust which the people imposed on its members. Governor Moodie’s pledge of co- operation may be taken at face value. ‘His actions in office to date show no desire to dominate and his record of @ years in North Dakota shows that he is not that type of man. Unless possession of public office changes the character of a man, as some cynics contend it does, the lawmakers may fairly assume that the governor, in making this pledge and plea for harmonious consideration of the atate’s ils, meant exactly what he eaid. ‘His request that consideration of the tax problem be begun at once, it may be dealt with intelli- ‘The governor is a man of wide ex-) perience in dealing with human na- ture.

Taking the Profits Out of War (Federal Council Bulletin, published y the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America) In connection with President Roo- sevelt’s appointment of a contmission te study ways and means of taking ‘the profit out of war, it is reported that one of the recommendations will be that all war profits in excess of the average yearly income of the three years immediately preceding any war should be taxed 95 per cent. This proposal does not go far enough. Assume that a certain corporation made an average profit of a million dollars a year over the three-year pe- riod in question. If and when war breaks out this corporation, it seems, is to be permitted to make its mil- lion; the tax of 95 per cent !s to ap- ply only to the amount above the million, This is still leaving room for vast profit in time of war. Why) should business, in war-time, be per- mitted to make a million dollars a! year, or half of that amount, or any; ‘substantial fraction of that amount, when the boys who are drafted into service are sent up to the front-line | trenches for 30 dollars a month? When the government sends a young man into the trenches, his average yearly income is not vouch- safed to him by the government. The boy in khaki does not even know that he is coming back from the trenches. He may lose a leg or an arm or both. He may lose a Jung or an eye or more. He may give his life. | Contrast the stark brutality of con- scripting boys and men from their homes and families to face the fire! of enemy guns with the reported solicitude of the government in leav- ing undisturbed the peace-time prof- its of industry! This is merely play- ing with the issue of taking the prof-| it out of war. If profits are really | to be taken out of war, the govern-| ment will have to say to big business | and to little business and to all kinds) of business and to bankers and mer- chants and teachers and preachers and brokers that the whole nation in the event of another war is to be Placed on military rations and mili- tary pay. The National Conference on the Churches and World Peace, which met in Dayton last month, adopted a resolution supporting the proposal of Senator Nye that in time of war a tax of 98 per cent be levied against all income in excess of $10,000 a year. That would represent real justice to who are sent to the front. of course, the only com- of taking profit out of war rid of war. This is the line ——— i een | Additional Churches | A ST.

Battle Faced in Congress Over U. S. Membership in World Labor Body ... Easing of Nation Toward Seat In League Feared ... Sente of Humor Kept by Richberg. Washington, Jan. 12.—Sparks may fly in the coming congress over America’s new membership in the In- ternational Labor Organization, a membership ratified by the last con- Gress, say its opponents, “in its clos- ing hours, without hearings, and without a quorum when the commit- tees voted to report the measure.” Opponents of this membership, chief among whom will be the beard- ed Representative George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts, contend that the U. S. is thus being eased a Step further toward eventual “pain- less” membership in the League of Nations, against which it voted deci- Sively 15 years ago. It will be recalled that the man who helped most decisively to kill American membership in the league was another Massachusetts solon, Henry Cabot Lodge. The grim humor in the fact that America (through President Wilson and his famous Fourteen Points) was principal sponsor of the League of Nations, which it then refused to join, is duplicated in the fact that the International Labor Organization was also in great part a product of American statesmanship (through Samuel Gompers, who went to Paris with Wilson in the hope of helping build international .machinery for uniform improvement of working conditions throughout the world). GOMPERS IN LEAD ROLE When peace was made in 1919, for the first time in history it was con- ceived that organized labor as such might take a hand in writing the conditions of the peace. So Gompers went with Wilson, and became chairman of the commission that drafted the framework of the organization which the United States was not to join until 15 years later, and which is even now rousing @ be- lated opposition. The ILO began functioning even before the league, and its first cone ference was held in Washington, with Secretary of Labor William B, Wilson presiding. But when America turned down the league, it also turned its back on the ILO. Americans attended its sessions only unofficially, year they will go (in June, 1935) as official representatives. In joining last year, the U. 8. made specific reservations that it assumed no obligations under the league, and it would pay its membership fees di- rect to the ILO instead of through the league, as do other members, ntal graded instruction. :00—Morning worship, the pas- tor preaching on “The Meaning of Hinges 380 —The Pioneer soctety and y._ Tuxis topic: “Fol: Leader, Susie Imus. wening Fellowship acrvice. ‘amily Christian.” This first of a series of sermons the Bibte .
