ZIONISTS GATHER AT

CHICAGO

GARY j NEWS

Tha Calumet District Gat Zionist OrKaniiatlon had its first set-together meeting last night at the Odd Fellows hall In East Chicago. This Is the first thai .has been held since the successful mass meeting which took place at tho Masonic Temple several month3 ago. the work being interrupted by the recent small-pox epidemic Although not many members attended last night's meeting, compared with the amount that attended the mass meeting, it was felt generally that what was lacking in attendance was more than made jp bv the enthusiasm and intense interest of those that were there. Professor Hoffman, Mr. Frledlander and Mr. Jenkins, all of Chicago, and who will bo remembered for the lectures they gave at tho mass meeting, were also present and enlightened the members as to th progress that has been made and what rlan9 are being made for the future of "Mr. Jenkins described the work and plans of the American Zlon Commonwealth Ths organization is made up t Zionists who are subscribing to a land fund for the rehabiltatlon and irrigation of Balfouria. a province of Palesga on . th Enirnsli Minister tine named after l"9 "s"of Foreign Affairs who was responsible for the English declaration recognizng Palestine as the Jewish homeland. V The working scheme of the American 7.ion Commonwealth is very ingenious, and Is believed to tme the most modern and democratic plan for securing social Justice that has yet been devised. It Is neither socialistic nor individualistic but a most harmonious fusion of the two theories of economic control. Subscribers to the American Zion Commonwealth pa yln a small amount every three months until ?249 is paid for every share that they hold. After six years they arc entitled to possession of two and cne-half acres of land in Balfouria for every share. Each shareholder Is entitled to only one vote in the American Zion Commonwealth, Inc. The land parcelled out must be used 'or agricultural or pastoral purposes only and any mineral or sub-strata wealth, that Is discovered In this land rill belong to the Commonwealth at large. Ten per cent of the land also will be held by tho Commonwealth for cities, manufacturing, industries, stores, etc.. and all revenues for the "ground leasing" of this land will go to the Commonwealth. In this way the modern evils of absentee-landlordism will bo done away with. Tho land must be worked as a condition of possession and all benefits -which, are due to the industry and toil of those working the latnd will KO to those individuals. On tho other band, all benefits due to the congregation of society in particular Fpots. thereby raising the value of those places, will go to society, the Commonwealth. Mineral and substrata wealth, belonging also to the Commonwealth Avill b5 Insured .igainFt private exploitation, and for the unhampered use of society. Thus the profiteer will be unknown entity In the Palestine. X early all those present bought shares in the Commonwealth and many who already had some, bought additional amounts. Another meeting will be held shortly and It is the aim of Dr. M. A. Given, tho president, the officers and committeemen to make it the most successful that has ever been held by Jews of this vicinity. Plans are also being developed for a danco to be held in tho

r.ear future.
