TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1919.
THE NEW TYRANNIES.
Whether Berlin, has the autocracy
of the kaiser or the dictatorship oi
the working class the newspapers
must do as they are told. Freedom
of the press is just as strange to the
Teutons as any other kind of freedom.
They do not understand liberty be
cause they have had no training in it.
When one kind of absolutism tri
umphs over another the people have
no opportunity to study the operations
of free institutions.
Berlin has just appropriated all for
tunes over 10,000 marks and wil pay
the owners but 3 or 4 per cent for
the remainder of their lives. It has
also “nationalized" newspapers. The
people’s commissioners declare that
the liberty of the press—something
that Germany never has polaSessed—
would in nowise be curtailed. They
add that in this way the press con
tinues to be the slave of the govern
ment. The only difference in its
status is that it must call the “pro
letariat” master in place of the em
peror.
The workmen of Russia who adhere
to Bolshevism or some other form of
red socialism frankly admit the one
sidedness of their government. They
believe in “class distinction” and
“class hatred,” and the “class strug
gle.” The idea of “equal opportunity”
and “no special privileges,” which is
our shibboleth, makes no appeal to
them,—at any rate not for the pres
ent. They concede that they are es
tablishing their rule by force because
they believe, as earnestly as do the
kaiserist, that might makes right.
But even in its ultimate forms so
cialism will not guarantee liberty. It
is based on a wholly different idea.
Just as the old German imperialists
declared that the indiviual existed for
the state so the socialist decry indi
vidual liberty of action and insist that
the individual must do what he is told
by the power above him. No organi
zation can exist without discipline
and the most delicately complex or
ganization ever conceived by man is
socialism. If one wheel goes wrong
the engine “dies.”
It would seem that these element
ary principles should have been
u derstood at the outset by the Rus
r m Bolshevik leaders, and perhaps
ti.ey did understand them, but for a
long time anarchy was permitted
among the laborers although all other
clases were rigorously repressed. If
socialism does succeed in establishing
. itself in'Russia or Germany and set
ting its machinery in operation the
workman must submit to a discipline
without parallel for rigor in our in
dustrial civilization.
In our country a new system is
developing out of democratic indus
try. In the. east many factories have
already adopted the co-operative
method of operation. The employes
take charge of many phases of the
operations that intimately affect
them. In some instances, through
their organizations, they even employ
and discharge the workers. Whethei
the system will meet with success
only time can reveal, but it is cleai
that it is a natural development ol
industry in a land" where the "class
struggle” is repudiated and when
liberty cherishes as its ideals ‘ equa
opportunity for all.”
In this country we sometimes see i
writer work himself into a rage ovei
the "subsidized press.” He asks in
dlgnantly if that is “liberty of th<
press?” Acording to the criterion o
equal opportunity it is. What hi
writer has in mind is not freedom o
the press but human perfection.
Naturally a labor paper does no
print much that is detrimental to th<
interests of labor. A paper which ii
established to advocate German o:
Russian socialism does not go int
ecstacies over the virtues of capital
ism. In that -sens?! they are "subsi
dized” for a special purpose, but we
must not lose sight of the fact that
they exist by the very fact that they
have equal opportunity with papers
which are financed for other purposes,
■whether to defend the democratic
party or advocate chiropractic treat
ment. The net result is liberty, but
not necessarily perfection.

The Victory Liberty loan drive is
now in full swing and Cordova will
again go “over the top” before the
campaign closes. This loan takes the
form of 4% per cent three to four
year convertible gold notes of the
United Staes, exempt from state and
local taxes except estate and inherit
ance taxes and from normal federal
V0
income taxes.
The notes will be convertible at the
option of the holder throughout the
life into 3% per cent three-to-t’our
year convertible gold notes of the
United States exempt from all federal,
state and local taxes except estate
and inheritance taxes. In the same
manner the 3% per cent notes may be
converted back again into the 4%
per cent notes at the option of the
holder.
The issue will be limited to
$4,500,000,000, except as it may be
necessary to increase or decrease the
amount to facilitate allotment, and al
lotments made on a graduated scale
similar in its general plan to that
adopted in connection with the First
Liberty loan. Allotments will be made
in full to all those asking for any
amount up to and including $10,000.
The notes of both series will be
dated and bear interest from May 20,
1919, and will mature on May 20, 1923.
interest will be payable on December
15, 1919, and thereafter semi-annually
on June 15 and December 15 and at
maturity.
All or any of the notes may be re
deemed at the option of the United
States on J une 25 or December 15,
1923, at par and accrued, interest.
Briefly stated, the terms of the loan
make the choice of the 4% per cent
or 3% per cent bonds option with the
subscriber. The first are not taxable
on normal incomes, but are taxable to
people of larger ones. They are the
bonds for the ordinary man. The 3%
bonds are for folks who have large
incomes and are free from all taxes
except as nbted.
Local committees started to work
yesterday, but on account of the in
clement weather have not as yet been
able to cover much territory. How

HORSES ARE FAVORED
TO MEN’S DISCOMFORT
JUAREZ, Mex., April 22 (by Asso
ciated Press).—American soldiers in
France who rode in stock cars mark
ed for 30 men or 15 horses had the
best of it compared to thp Mexican
federal soldier when traveling on troop
trains in campaign. Cavalry horses!
are given the preference over the
soldiers who are forced to ride on top
of the stock cars with their families
huddled under crudely improvised
tents made from scraps of canvas or
pieces of tin. The usual way of load
ing troop trains is to put the horses
in the cars, the soldiers and their
families on top and the impedimenta
under the car strapped to the brace
rods. Women and children even ride
under the cars on these brace rods.
The makeup of a Mexican troop
train is: locomotive, tender, armored
cars with machine guns, stock cars
with soldiers, their families and cav
alry horses; flat car with a steel tur
ret containing a revolving mountain
gun, caboose for the use of the train
crew, private cars for the staff offi
cers and the private car of the com
manding general at the rear end.
