Headquarters at Equality.

The national board of the b & { is
divided in opinion as to the wisdom of
locating headquarters in the colony and
not outside of the colony, and it now
submits the question to the judgment
and decision of the association.
The writer of these lines favors the
policy of now centering the headquar-
tiers at Equality and of locating the
printery and other national offices lin
Washington within the colony and not
outside of and apart from the colony:
and he has been instructed to set forth
the reasons that justify this policy of
concentration.
The considerations that combine to
favor the locating of headquarters at
the colony and not elsewhere, fall UNI
der three main heads: Economy. CO.
operation, harmony.
The plan of concentrating in Equali-
ty is much the most economical of all
possible plans: it saves rent for build
ings for the printery and the national
offices: it reduces cost of subsistence for
the workers at headquarters: it in
creases the revenues and decreases the
expenditures.
This plan makes for cooperation and
combination. while other plans make
for competition, contention and misun-

quarters are obliged now to work in

houses: they cannot improve any home
of their own, nor get any of the benefits
Of Brotherhood insurance; their main
tenance is entirely dependent on the
dues and the subscriptions, and it is

The co-operators at headquarters have
nearly all of the hardships of pioneer
ing and none of the benefits or prospects
of,the b c { pioneers in the colony,
who are ON their own land, with their
Own homes in view. their own schools,

colony is cooperation, while life at
headquarters outside of the colony, say
at Edison on Anacortes, is mere bare
subsistence, the probability of estab-
fishing lucrative b G G industry out
side of Equality being exceedingly
faint, and the practical difficulties in
the way Of the conduct of any paying
business by the Board being obvious
and manifold.
The third and perhaps the most im-
portant class of considerations and
arguments in favor of having head
quarters at Equality and not in the
outside world, are those that have to
do with the maintenance Of practical

Headquarters on Deep Water.

The location of the National Board
at Edison had at the first the one
seeming advantage of nearness to the
Brotherhood's only colony, namely,
Equality, at three miles distance.
OF this contiguity there is now no
need, since Equality's complete au-
tonomy has been established, while it
has some disadvantages, one of
them being the confusion it con-
stantly creates in the minds of our
correspondents; and certain other
important considerations now come
to the front.
| 1t is most important that to
strengthen the B c C fund and give
it firm footing, the National Broth
erhood should at once establish a
paying industry, such as steamboat
transportation and ship repairing.
We have advantageous offers at our
disposal, of sites in enterprising and
growing towns, accessible to the best
deep water harbors, atfording excel
| lent accommodation for our office
and residence purposes at less expense
than we are now subject to, and an
outlook for a larger business for our
printing plant than can be looked for
at Edison.
Limited funds, expense of removal,
ana the desire to have the Broth
erhood give us its command in this
matter have decided us to lay the sub
! iect before the whole association for
discussion and vote.
Shall we move B c c Headquarters
to point where the organization can
to better advantage own and operate
a steamboat? Let us hear from you
fully, and in the meantime build up
the steamboat fund, Thich is already
growing.

THE NUTSHELL

Miss Mason has transferred the
copyright of her lesson on varying
Length of Days and Nights, with the
nutshell illustrations, to the B c c.,
specifying that the proceeds from its
publication are to be applied to the
Brotherhood steamer fund until that
fund amounts to $1,000 or we have
otherwise satisfactory boat fully
paid for.
This lesson will be published as Il
leahet for use in schools. and is also
presented to our readers in num-
bers l. and Is of Industrial Freedom.
On good book paper, illustrated
five plates, IL pages. Single copies
postpaid. cents. $3.50 per 100.

harmony and concrete good will be-
tween the two branches of the Broth
erhood-the colony at Equality, and
the headquarters workers, as the
representative of the members of
the association. Much of the jeal-
ousy, the competition, and the mis-
understandings that now appear
inevitable, would be obviated and
avoided by the cooperation of the
colony and the headquarters together
at one centre, the aims and objects
of the B C C being in no wise dimin-
ished, but preserved and carried for
ward just the same as at present.
To move the headquarters away
fro the colony, and to keep them
apart from Equality, would mean to
minimize the interest of most of
the members in the general B c c
work, to reduce the chances of sub
sistenCe of the workers at headquar-
tiers, and to prevent them from hav-
ing any of the sick benefits, the in
surance, and the educational and
other facilities that the colony
affords. To locate the headquarters
in the colony at Equality means the
increase of the colony's chances of
prosperity. the enlargement Of its
business opportunities its postal and
clerical and printing and propaganda
resources), and the facilitation of ad-
vertising the B G c and Equality and
cooperation.
All these considerations force me,
after studying the question on the
ground for six months, to favor the
policy of concentrating (but not
limiting) the work of the B c c for
the present at Equality and of locat-
ing headquarters within the colony.

A REFERENDUM.
Location of B &C Headquarters

At the regular weekly meeting of the
National Board, held Aug. 81, it was
unanimously resolved.
That the Brotherhood be asked to
decide as to whether the headquar-
tiers of the B &C shall be located
within Equality or elsewhere.
We solicit expression of views on
the subject, and will in issue of Sept.
"a, publish as much as we can of the
correspondence we receive in refer
ence to it, and on Oct. 10, the regular
constitutional time, the votes will be
counted.
Some of the reasons pro and con
are presented this week.
NATIONAL BOARD.
Those who favor the proposition OF
locating headquarters at the colony and
not outside of Equality, will vote YES
in this referendum: those who are OPP
posed to the locating of headquarters
within the colony and wish B c c head
quarters maintained apart from
Equality, will vote NO.
EVERY MEMBER SHOULD VOTE.

COOPERATIVE INSURANCE.

We now have over 5000 worth of
property liable to destruction by fire.
Such loss would seriously cripple our
work. In few weeks we will have a
system of waterworks atfording much
protection. At present we have no
protection at all. Hence we call on
each of our more than 1900 members
to subscribe for as many of the 81 shares
of insurance fund AS he can pay on
short notice. No money is to be paid
in: but in case of fire each will be called
on in proportion to the amount of his
subscription. Send in your letters at
once stating how much you will take
rates to the old-line companies, and so
ask our own members to carry this risk
on their own future homes. There will
thus he no expense at all, except in case
of loss, and then merely enough money
to replace. WIN. MCDEVITT, Sec.

will make favorable impression on the
passing stranger.
Mud surely ia inevitable and endurable
for time. but why allow such floods OF
water to stand in the principal streets
until nature herself has pity on us and
dries them up. A little rudimentary
street drainage would he OF service.
We would also beg the members OF the
city council to be little more despotic
towards those citizens whose back alleys
are a reproach to our civilization, and
order thorough cleaning before hot
weather.
Could not the idle men be utilized by
working on our roads, keeping down the
thick weeds in the bitches, and pounding
down the uprising nails in our sidew alks
which tear our dresses and spoil our
shoes.
IL the council going to countenance an
other saloon on our principal avenue
Already shopping is made disagreeable
for the ladies WHO are Obliged to pass on
the south side OF the main business
block.
Is not the prevailing sentiment of our
city's best people worthy Of your serious
attention? Are you willing that your
wives and daughters should be compelled
to come in contact with the element that
inhabit . saloon sidewalk, no matter
which side of the avenue they choose?
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1898-02-17
Not many self respecting cit.
THE izens believe in the open ga
OPEN loon. Even many who use
cA,ooN stimulants in moderation

would like to see the saloon
closed. They know that it is a school of
vice, q place where the hand of greed
makes drunksrds and robs the COM
munity of manhood. The year should
not pass away without the fullest discus
sion among our people OF the merits and
dement's of the South Carolina dispen-
sary system, with view to its adoption
in this state by the next legislature.
That system leaves the citizen free to pro-
cure pure liquors and to drink them,
but it abolshes the public Places of
drinking and temptation and removes
the element of greed which, under the
present system, is the great drunkard
maker. Under the South Carolina sys-
TEN the liquor stations are as quiet and
orderly as postotfice, and the vender OF
the liquors, because of his salared posi-
ton, is no more interested in increasing
liquor sales than postmaster is. Let us
encourage the discussion among the peo-
pie Of this promising solution OF the trou-
besome liquor question and urge legsla-
tive action if, after investigation, it seems
wise. The state dispensary system seems
to us the only feasible plan for materially
lessening the evils of the liquor traffic in
a state where there are such large cities
as we have in the state of Washington.
The open Sunday saloon ought not to
require any heightened discussion in this
forbds the opening of the licensed saloon
on Sunday and after midnight of each
night. This very reasonable law is
wholly dsregarded in North Yakima.
This is disgrace not alone to the saloon
keepers, who hold their licenses from the
council on the claim of good citizenship,
but it is more disgrace to the great
body of our citizens. Where is the man
in this city who would refuse to give his
moral and actual and open support to the
officers in an effort to shut the saloons on
Sundays and from midnight till morning
of each day? If there is such q citizen,
perhaps petition would find him out
and if be is business man, he should be
left to do business with himself. Let
some steps be taken to ascertain how the
people stand on this question. II it prove
to be, as we think it will. that the large
majority of our citizens want the law en-
forced, the proper officers would undoubt-
eddy move in the matter.

in year than thev now do, II the pas
senver rate from here to the Sound was
one half the present charge? We would
furnish three or four pas ,engers where We
now send one.
Give us the three laws We have mem
toned from the next legislature and we
shall toe satisfied. We would wish 1t
could be understood that the people would
consider it a mark of disgrace for any
legislator to introduce any private bills
for local relief. 1t is general legislation
We need and not much OF that at Il time.
