The Sugar Boycott
Editor The Press: I am heartily in favor of the sugar
boycott, or any other boycott that has for its purpose tHe
defeat of gougers, retail or wholesale. The principle should
operate, however, “true to form.'1
is 12-cent sugar higher than, or a worse gouge than 20-
cent tomatoes, 12-cent beansp12-cent Irish potatoes? The
fact of the business. I believe, is that 12-cent sugar, admitted-
ly too high and nefariously manipulated, is cheaper than any
of the products mentioned above. If we refrain from the
use of sugar, which I am doing, why not abstain from the use
of many other articles of food equally as exorbitant in price
per efficiency?

4 -------------------
(As the Kair-minded man ought to talk, whether he does or not)
- BY HERBERT QUICK.
Philip Snowden is a prominent
soctalist, and a member of the
British parliament. He has intro-
duced s bill in parliament which
is called the "Anti-Capitalist bill"
which if seriously urged, shows
again the Ln vets ruts inability of
socialists to comprehend the land
queation. He proposesto give the
land owners of Britain five per-
cent government bonds for their
lands, and 1st thm go on owning
the improvements.
I should like to have them take
the farm on Which I live on the
same basis, if I owned a great
akyacraper in New York or Chi-
cago or Los Angeles, I think I
should like the same plan juet na
well.
It is not an anti-capitalist bill
at all. It proposes to convert
dlands, occupied sad unoccupied.
Improved, partial Improved and
unimproved, into fixed capital
wltk the people taxed to pay the
interest. If the land owning class-
ee have good sense, they will pass
the Snowden bill.
As a matter of fact, the gov-
ernment now nationalizes lands
year by year in bite. They in-
tionalize it by taxes. The owner
is forced to buy it bsck out of the
government's clutches by his an-
nusl tax payments. The govern-
ment nationlized my tarm to the
tune of nearly $400 laat spring,
and will do the same next year.
I feel that I owe the govern-
ment the annuel value of the bare
land every year—the value of all
that human labor has done to In-
create it being left out of the cal-
culation. For leaving out all that
labor hat done on it. the rest of
the value has been created by so-
ciety. and I believe justly belongs
to the public.
When Snowden wants to do
something really basic and defen-
sible on the land question, he will
stop taxing improvements, and
. during the war. A farmer
came into a grocery store in
which the writer was stand-
ing. Looking the. stock over,
he spied onions. “What/’ said
he, “is them onions worth?”
“Ten cents,” replied the
proprietor.
“Gimme a quarter’s worth.
I never knowed I loved onions
so well tell they got so high."
Perhaps reasonable people
ought to restrain their appe-
tites in a ratio to unreason-
able prides.
I am not only in favor of
boycotting the products of
profiteering wholesalers, but
also of profiteering retailers.
Some months ago, walking
along Houston-at, I decided to
buy two tins of milk. Enter-
ing the first grocery store
along my walk, I asked the
price of two tins of a certain
brand of milk. It was 30
cents. I passed on to another,
and asked the price of two
tins of the same brand. 24
cents. Again I rejected the
article, and inquired at an-
other store. 20 cents. This I
also refused, and finally
following up Lord Curzon's
ultimatum to Russia? Are '
the recruiting offices swamp-
ed with the flower of British (
youth impatient to be off to
the wars? Hardly. Mass
meetings were held in Hyde
Park, in protest against any
such eventuality.
And so it goes. General
Pangalos, Greek generalissimo
threatens to take Constanti-
nople if Greece's demands are
not met. And who is behind
him in this? Why, the total
population of Greece—5,000,-
