Skins of the harmless but decorative Florida lizard were used to fashion one suit. Cut on lines which follow the trend in evening dccoiletags, the suit was skin tight, and one'

Another suit which caused a furor was fashioned of the hide of a young alligator. This also was one-piece, cut on similar lines and with scalloping th finish the edges. The wearer of this led a baby gator on a gay red and green leash. One of the most omamented was a suit hade from silver tarpon scales, this fish having the largest scales of any denizen of the deep. On a scant foundation of silk jersey the scales, covered with a natural phosphoresence which gives the original owner the title, Silver King, were applied row upon row from half-inch sizes near the neckline to three ami a half inch ones which formed the body of the suit.

|t\\ REFORMS IN CALIFORNIA l 1* TO VOTERS ON NOVEMBER 3 SAN FRANCISCO, (UP)—One of the most intensive tax reform fights in recent history will be settled by I California at polls Nov. 3. Due to the state initiative and rcI ierendum law which enables voters by petition either to take the initia- ! live for new legislation or force the repeal of legislation already passed, California will pass upon three different tax measures of utmost importance. Even a fourth one, which had qualified under the initiative law, and which provided for a substitution of the famous Henry George single land tax for the present California sales tax, also would have been passed upon by voters bad not the state supreme court ruled it out for technical reasons. As the situation now stands, voters will pass upon three measures which will bind the legislature in any future efforts at tax legislation on the subjects concerned. They are as follows: Repeal of the state income tax. Repeal of the tax on chain stores. Repeal of the tax on oleomargar-

ine.

Of the three, the one providing for the repeal of the state income tax law is the most vital. Like all political fights in California, each of the measures is highly controversial and state wide organizations support i both sides of the question at issue. In each case, to get the question placed on the ballot, it was necessary to obtain approximately 190.000 petitioners. * In the fight for the repeal of the present state income tax, the support are using largely the argument of the benefits which Florida has gained by not having such a law anil the losses which California is allege 1 to have sustained by having one. Both states, it is pointed out, have conducted vast advertising campaigns for attracting not only the tourist trade but permanent residents. As a result, it Is asesrted that Florida has gained 10 per cent in population in recent years and California only 1 per cent. This petition was drawn up and sponsored largely by a group of professional men. On the other hand, those opposing it include such organizations as the Farm Bureau Federations, Grange, Alta California, Inc., Teachers Association, County Auditors, State Department of Education, the California Retailers Association, and otKers. Like the federal income tax, the California tax applies only to single persons earning $1,000 or more and married persons earning $2,500 or more annually. This is said to exclude 95 per cent of the people with small incomes who contribute to government through property and sales taxes. The chain store tax is levied on a sliding scale $1 first store to $.">00 on tip 1 l.Qtm t S)tppq and each store above that. This law was sponsoio l originally by the independent grocers and druggists both as a tax measure and as a curb to what they called the “chain store evil.” The law, however, docj not apply to gasoline stations operated hy one concern, to movie house chains, beauty parlors and ice distributors. As a consequence, the chain store operators through the referendum have succeeded in placing the question on the hallot on the grounds that the law is discriminatory and

H Britain and Fascism Herbert Morrison, former cabinet officer, president of the London County Council, and in all probability the next Premier of England in the event Labor wins the next general election, calls upon Britain to fight Fascism within its boundaries but to remain neutral in the Spanish crisis. Many people ask, “It is likely that England will have another Labor government ? How did Labor come to power in the first place?” The answer is not difficult. There are th eo major reasons. First, because of its leadership; second, because of its organization; and third, because of its program. The British Labor leader is well read in economics, is at home in history, is intimately acquainted with world affairs, and is usually fired by a deep religious spirit. Preachers and Labor The majority of the early leaders of the movement, its first representative in Parliament, and, until recently, its outstanding leader, were Methodist local preachers. The Wesleyan revival arose about the time the Labor movement was born. Men were rebelling against the industrial conditions they were forced to face. They saw women hitched to ore cars, dragging the cars along the levels toward the shaft. They saw their little children taken below ground on Monday morning, to remain until Saturday night. In this rebellious mood they came to the meetings of John Wesley. They were converted. In the class meeting they were traine 1 in public speech, became acquainted with methods of organization, learned the truths of a just God’s word, and above all with cleansing o? their hearts they learned (he worth of a man. So when the Labor movement was born and the call for leaders sounded, these men. became the logical leaders and have remained so. The second reason is the nature of its organization. British Labor has united the producer in the Trade Union, the consumer in the Cooperatives. the citizen in the British Labor party, and has added to this union a fourth factor ! n the Workers’ Educational Association, namely, the force of education. The result is an organization of power, capable of functioning successfully, and in large measure representing the workers of the

nation.

Minimum Standard of Life The third reason for its success lies in Its program. British labor has declared for four major principles. It insists, first, upon the uniform enforcement of a minimum standard of life. That is, it believes we now possess the scientific intelligence with which to guarantee to all a minimum standard of health, housing, education, leisure, and the like. Second, it calls for the democratic control of industry, believing that the principle o' democracy which is essential to political well-being is equally essential to industrial well-being. Third, it calls for a revolution in national finance, insisting upon cutting the military and naval budgets in two. Fourth, it calls for “the surplus wealth of the nation for the common good.” It is this three-fold explanation, coupled with the economic conditions forcing change and the British spirit of fair play, that accounts

for British power. A careful study of the above reasons will reveal some of the characteristics of British labor, which, considered with others, ccn be stated in several definite propositions. First, British labor possesses a social goal, phrased in humanitarian rather than economic terms, which becomes the unifying force of the movement. British Labor envisages a new society, wherein men and not things shall be the goal of social living. Second. British Labor possesses in large measure an open-minded scientific attitude toward the industrial problem, refusing to be bound to any set statement of economic dogma. I do not recall having met a leader save one or two from the Marxian Labor College in London who failed to point out this interesting characteristic. Sidney Webb, particularly, and Ramsay MacDonald with greater force, went out of their way to show that British Labor has never been Marxian, in the sense that it is wedded to particular economic dogatism. Said Webb, “We must always remember that the founder of British Socialism was not Karl Marx, but Robert Owen, and that Robert Owen preached not ‘class war’ but the ancient doctrine of human brotherhood the hope, the faith, the living fact of human fellowship.” Third, British Labor possesses a basic morality, fired by religious idealism. George Lansbury was speaking the heart of the movement when he said; “Nowhere in the world is there a wdrking class movement within which there is so much religious idealism, without being attached to any church, or without being attached to any kind of theology in the ordinary sence of the world. Here is the spirit of the crusade, the magnificent willingness to sacrifice, and, weighed, these are of more worth than the churehly insistence upon ritualistic and .temperance in small sinning.” Fourth, a factor that need but be stated to be appreciated, British Labor possesses legal status, and receives today square dealing at the hands of the courts. Fifth, British Labor possesses a common tongue, a common political heritage, and ideals of freedom that run back for a thousand years. Sixth, as I have already pointed out, British Labor possesses a leadership of exceptional worth, high morality, and is dedicated to the educational and parliamentary method of change. Seventh, British Labor possesses an effective political organization with which to achieve its goal. This is seen in the strategy of uniting the trade union and the cooperatives into a steady support of the Labor party. But more than that British Labor has opened the party to all who think in terms of its program and the result is the possession of minds like Tawney, H. G. Wells, Bishop Temple, J. J. Mallon, Arthur Green-

for a benefit on the public through lower prices. Finally, the third tax measure to be passed upon is that of the tax on oleomargarine. Cattle interests contend that such a law, imposing a tax on oleo made from cocoanut oil but exempting it when made from animal fats, or cottonseed, peanut, and corn nils or milk, is needed to protect American products. They point out th t the coconnut oil is from foreign countt ies where labor is cheaper and affords unfair competition. On the other hand, those opposing the tax argue that California imports most fo its animal fats and oils and that if the law is upheld the price of oleomargarine will be increased for the benefit of the manufacturers of oleo who use the oils and fats exempted from the tax. The three measures are creating almost as much local controversy and interest as the presidential race

itself.
