Pumping oil ashore at Kaanapali is
difficult matter in any kind of hare
weather, for the vessel has to lie al
anchor off shore and put the liquid
fuel through some six-hundred feet OF
piping. The sea was so rough that
the piping connections would not hold

DON'T IGNORE THE MONEY SIDE

No matter what your vocation may
be, you must be a business man first.
or you will always be placed at a
great disadvantage in the practical
affairs of life. We can not entirely
ignore the money side Of existence
any more than we can the food side,
and the very foundation Of a practical
successful life is the ability to know
how to manage the money side effec-
lively.
1t Is infinitely harder to save money
and to invest 1t wisely than to make
1t, and, If even the most practical men,
men who had long training in scien-
tific business methods, find it diff
cult thing to hold on to money after
they make it, what is likely to happen
to people who have had practically
no training in business methods?
II every child in America had a
thorough business training, tens Of
thousands Of promoters, long headed,
cunning schemers, who have thriven
on the peoples ignorance, would be

are among the greatest blessings In
American civilization today, because
they have saved thousands of homes
from being wrecked, and have made

LABOR UNION men WANT
=! ..s!!QLQNs TO VOTE. SQUARE
Legislators Urged to Effect
Favorable Action on Certain
Important Questions.

The delegates to the Trades Assem-
bly, were up in arms for a few mo-
ments last Friday evening when the
legislative committee reported that the
initiative and referendum bill was in
danger of being crucifed in the state
legislature. 1t was represented that
Mr.. Miller Of the FIfty-first district,
was so pressed with other important
matters that he was unable to give
the initiative and referendum bill tte
attention it deserved.
Two Of our local senators also came
in for a mild roast. and they were ask
ed to "get right with the people," if
the bill came before the senate again.
Request Of C. 3. Miller.
The body Of the Trades Assembly
resolutions were as follows:
Whereas, The legislative committee
of the Minnesota State Federation Of
Labor complains to this Assembly that
our representative, the Hon. c. B. Mill
er, who introduced the bill in the
house, is so pressed with other i'm
portant legislation that he is not in a
position to give the bill for the initia-
tive and referendum the attention it
deserves, therefore be it
Resolved, by the Federated Trades
Assembly Of Duluth, that we regard
the bill for the adoption Of the initia-
tive and referendum to be paramount
to any other measure now pending be-
fore the legislature, because vital to
the interests Of the people as pro-
lection against machine rule, and a
wholesome check upon monopolists,
trusts and privilege in every form,
therefore we earnestly urge upon our
representative, Hon. G. B. Miller, that
he use every possible endeavor to fur
ther the interests Of the measure so
supremely important to us and to all
the people.
Senators Mildly Roasted.
Whereas, The records of the senate
show that Of our three senators from
St. Louis county, one Of them, Senator
Pugh, voted for the measure, another.
Senator Laybourne voted against it,
and the third, Senator Vail. found it
convenient to be absent at roll call, and
Whereas, 1t has been conclusively
shown to the representatives Of or
ganized labor that the interests which
above all others most strenuously op-
posed the measure, were the liquor
interests, and it is humiliating to think
that Of our three enators only one
was found to stand faithful to the
peoples interest. The end is not vet,
however, and the bill when disposed
| Of by the house, shall In all probable
ity come before the senate again, and
| we therefore refrain from undue cri-
ticism, to await the final action of our
senators upon the bill when again pre-
sented to the senate. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we earnestly and re-
spectfully urge upon the aforesaid SEN
| ators to use every endeavor to secure
the passage Of the bill, and the sub
mission to the people Of the constitu-
tional amendment indicated thereby,

TOO MUCH PROSPERITY
............ .. AMONG. THE. PEOPLE
Wall Street Has Been Hum
ming That Tune for Sev-
eral Weeks.

Confiding his inspiration to Mr.. Car
negie's Civic Federation guests, Mr..
August Belmont feels greatly i'm
pressed that the unparelled develop
ment Of our country and it's prosperity
have been so extraordinary that 1t is
undoubtedly time to call a halt, and
the New York World.
That has a familiar sound Mr..
Schiff, Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Ryan. Mr.. Har-
riman-indeed, all Wall street-have
been humming the same tune for
weeks. The country is "too prosper
osu." Is it?
Do any Of these gentlemen hon.
estly believe that
There are too many men at work
That there are too few men idle
That too few families are in want
and destitution?
That too many children are in
school?
That too few are sent out to work
by fathers out of a job?
That too many mothers are COM
PORTABLE and happy!
That too few mothers are worrying
where the childrens supper is to come
from?
That too many people are saving
money and buying homes?
That too many are indulging in the
little luxuries that make life so much
more worth living?
That more anxiety, suffering, hung
er and disease would be good for the
country?
This is what "calling a halt" means
Does Mr.. Belmont or any other man
in his senses honestly think that the
country IS too prosperous? We do not
believe it. The country not hall
prosperous enough. The Unparalleled
development" is not unparalleled, and
the national resources ought to be de-
veloped immeasurably further than
they are. These are mere common
places which even Mr.. Belmont and
his kind would hesitate in private to
deny.
These gentlemen do not really mean
that the country is too prosperous. Is
not their actual meaning something
like this: "While as a general prin-
ciple we prefer prosperity to adversity
still We should be very glad to see q
period of financial and industrial de-
preston if it would rehabilitate cor.
poration government, which is rapidly
being overturned"

DON'T PAY TO FIGHT UNIONS

The Butterick people do not appear
to have gained much by their fight
against the Typographical Union. for
it appears that the stock of the COM
pany has deprecated on Wall street
about 80 per cent during the year 1906.
On January 1 Of that year it was quot
ed at 49, and on January I of this wear
it was quoted at 40, and when the vast
figure the corporation stands for is
taken into consideration it appears
that somebody has lost heavily. But
what care the officers; their princelv
salaries go on just the same, while
the stockholders, among whom are
poor widows and sewing girls, must
make ends meet without the nice divi-
dends the company paid before it
undertook the job of busting up the
Typographical Union.

MER|IED COMPLIMENT
To ORGANIZED LABOR
Bv One Who Persisted in OPP.
position to Unionism for
Years.
For ten years made as desperate
q fight against organized labor as was

For ten years made as desperate
a fight against organized labor as was
ever made by mortal man.
1T cost me considerably over a mill
lion dollars to learn that there is no
labor so skilled, so intelligent so faith
full, as that which is governed by an
organization whose officials are we'll
balanced, level-headed men.
II now employ none but organized
labor, and never have the least trou-
BILE, each believing that the one has
not right to oppress the other"
The man who said this-Potter
Palmer-he is now dead, but the words
he uttered are as true today as they
were then. If anything, time has given
them additional proof.
Organization means to labor not
only increased power, but also an up
lifting-moral, intellectual, social and
in every other way.
But not everybody has the good
fortune to see this. There is still a
certain quantity of barren fools"
among wage earners. They persist
in remaining blind to the advantages
Of unionism.
Themselves lacking in judgment,
and deaf to the arguments of their
own brother toilers, it may be that
they will at least hearken to the voice
Of one Of the greatest Of the captain
of industry this country has ever pro-
duced. The very fact that he was for
ten years the bitterest enemy organiz-
ed labor ever had makes the reluctant
tribute wrested from him so much
more weighty.

fit. They also set the price on all
that the farmers produce. They make,
or cause to be made, all the laws, for
they own and control congress and
our legislatures. They pass appropria-
tions for building war ships that we
don't need and don't want, and they
keep educating more people for war in
spite Of the fact that these men will
want war and will eventually bring it
about. Nearly half a billion dollars
is taken from us every year for war
purposes in time of peace, and the
producers, must pay for it all. It must
come out of what we produce, for no
one else has anything to pay with un-
til they tax us in some way to get it.
People must unite or we will be worse
off than the tax ridden workers Of the
old world.
Indirect Taxation.
1t Is not only the direct tax, but the
Indirect; it is not only the tax put
upon us by our public officials, but
also that worse one put upon us by
those who gamble in the products Of
our labor.
The government is getting more and
more paternal, but it has two brands
of paternalism. It furnishes banks
with money to loan to spectators, so
that they may buy up railroads in or
der to monopolize them, and so that
they way water the stocks. That Is
one kind. The other is dished out to
show producers how to compete with
each other that they may produce more
wealth in order that the railroads may
have enough stuff to haul, at high
freigt rate, to pay dividends on the
watered stock Of the roads. The more
wealth the farmers produce the less
they get for it, and the more freight
they have to pay. The larger the sur
plus, the more there is to ship out Of
the country; the more there is to ship
out of the country the greater will be
the balance Of trade in favor Of the
United States, and upon the balance
of trade in our favor depends the
profits of the speculator. The more we
produce and the less we get the more
the speculator gets. In other words
the loss Of the farmer becomes the
gain Of the speculator.

Financial Statements, Which Ap-
pear Very Flattering to us Upon
Their Face, Have a Different
Significance When Closely In
vestigated.
Producers of Wealth, or the In
dustrial Glasses, Must in the
End, Pay All the Indebtedness
of the Nation.
One Per Cent of Nation Own
Ninety-five Per Cent of the
Wealth, But Ratio as to In
debtedness Different.

The census bureau recently issued
a bulletin announcing that the per
capita of public Indebtedness in the
United States is $3.50, and that the
total Indebtedness including national,
government, state, county, township,
precinct and school districts debts, is
$2,7S9, 9,990,120.
1t is pointed out that for every $2.85
Of public Indebtedness, there is 800 Of
national wealth. In Great Britain this
ratio is 5000 instead of $2.85; in
France 1t is SLABS, and in Italy it is
$17.38 to every 500 of national wealth.
Statement Misleading.
That looks all right on the face Of
the returns, but how about 1t? One
per cent of the people own ninety-five
per cent of the wealth, but they don't
owe one-hundredth part Of the indebt-
edness. The people who will be called
upon to pay much Of the Indebtedness
Of the nation are the men who use to-
bacco and who drink, and the wealthy
man drinks ard smokes and chews no
more than the poor man. He does buy
more imported goods, however, and
pays much more of the tax and Of the
debt, in that way, but he pays with the
product Of the labor Of the poor peo-
pie. All the debts Of the state, the
county, the township, and the school
district and of the precinct are and
will be paid by the producers of>wealth
for the other fellows have nothing to
pay with until they get it of the pro-
ducers. The figures above say nothing
Of the, municipal debts, nor do they
mention private indebtedness, nor the
Indebtedness of corporations, all of
which must eventually be paid by the
producers; and before they are paid
billions of dollars Of interest must be
taken from the pockets Of the pro-
ducers.
Comparisons Arc Odious.
1t doesn't matter that the. people Of
other countries are worse of than we
are. It is no reason because the Ital-
ians must be slaves that we should
suffer in the same proportion, or that
we should suffer at all. 1t isn't neces-
sary to compare Americans with other
people, for when Americans started to
do business for themselves less than
one hundred and fifty years ago they
owned all the means Of production
and all of the natural wealth and had
no debts. Now one per cent of the
people own ninety-five per cent of the
wealth and nearly all Of the natural
wealth such as mines, water powers,
etc., and this one per cent is able to
tax the rest Of us whatever they see

LESSONS CONVEYED BY
CENSUS STATISTICS
TRUST AND MONOPOLY
DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

When few men operating
boards of trade or exchanges
dominate the markets and ar
bitrarily make the prices, they
have 1T in their power to make
the rest of us rich or poor, i'm
easy circumstances or in want.
This is nm uncertainty under
which NO free people should Ia
Dor, and the people are justified
to resort to most any expedient
to put a stop to 1t. The only
people who ask what IL fair and
equitable are those yvho produce
the wealth., and they really are
the only people who should be
allowed to dictate the distrfbu-
tion of 1T. Heretofore trusts and
mOnOpolfes, and legaltzed gam
blers have created artificial scar
city or artificial abundance, as
the one or the other condition
best suited their nefarious pur-
pose. The day Of such doings is
fast drawing to a close.
