should be borne by the trade.
Which is much what Roosevelt said
in his employers liability bill.
Other socialistic ideas, set forth
in their platform, which have a
familiar sound, are: Scientific res
toration of timber lands and recla-
nation of swamp lands; federal
irrigation; more rigid inspection of
factories, mines and mills; protec-
ton for women employed in factor
les; adjustment of child labor;
graduated Inheritance and income
tax; initiative, referendum and re-
call.
More exclusively socialistic Is the
party's plan to have the govern
ment take over not only railroads,
telegraphs and telephones. but all
those Industries where the present
corporate control has worked out
monopolistic trusts; government
ownership of mines, quarries, oil
wells; progressive shortening Of
the work day by law; compulsory
insurance against unemployment,
illness and old age, and proper
tional representation.
The party has headquarters in
Chicago and New York. The party
has 1875 paid organizers constantly
in the field; it's publications, includ-
ing several daily papers, circulate
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-10-14

up into the hundred thousands;
there are 2740 locals" scattered
throughout the country.
Every member of the socialist
party is contributor. The central
office distributes membership
stamps" which are sold at increas-
ing prices to state, county and local
organizations until individual men,
bers buy them for 25 cents each.
Thus the members pay campaign
contributions" Members also sell
leaflets, lecturers take up collec-
lions and there are contributions Of
work and money from the ranks Of
and from symrathizers.
1t Is estimated that there are
20. 100000 people in the world now
who are socialists. The party has
80 members in British house Of
commons, 81 in French chamber of
deputies, 43 in German reichstag;
and in other national legislative as
semblies, 81 in Austria. Is in Italy,
II in Norway, Is in Sweden, 80 in
Finland, "a in Denmark, 80 in Bel
GUM and 80 in the second Russian
duma.

gan in the United States in 1892,

STATE PRIMARY
Law STANDS
THE TEST
SUPR EME COURT TURNS
DOWN EFFORTS OF DEFEAT
ED CANDIDATES TO ARGUE
THEMSELVES INTO OFFiCEl

OLYMPIA, Oct. 14.-In uphold
ing the primary law yesterday the
supreme court denied the writs
w. w. Zent, e. X. Pendergrast
and w. H. White, former candi-
dates for the nomination of SUI
perior Judge. In connection with
this the court said:
whether wisely or not the le-
gislature has seen fit to adopt the
nonpartizan judiciary plan and to
repeal the petition and other
laws. This, we hold, the legisla-
ture had right to do, 1t being a
reasonable exercise of it's
powers"
The court upheld the law in Its
entirety. Admitting the vagueness
of the provision for the filing of
campaign expenses, the court con-
strues 1t to mean that the filings
must be made in reasonable time.
In the matter of filing fees the
court rules:
"The right to exact reasonable
fee for the privilege of running for
Office may be sustained on the
principle that fees in the actions
and proceedings in court and for
filing and recording papers are
sustained. Primaries are to select
candidates, not to elect officers,
and being so the qualifications of
electors provided by the constitu-
ton for general elections can have
no application hereto"
Referring to the provision re-
quiring the declaration of party
affiliation the court said that no
doubt the qualification was insert
ed to protect the integrity of po-
litical parties.
In relation to the case of c. E.
Coon, defeated candidate for the
nomination of lieutenant governor,
the decision reads:
"The principal argument against
the second choice provision is that
1t interferes with the freedom of
election guaranteed by the consti-
tuition and compels an elector to
vote for a person other than the
candidate of his choice. The con-
tention Is untenable. The elector
has the utmost freedom of choice
in casting his first choice ballots,
though his choice will not avail
him unless at least 40 per centum
of his party agree with him.
1T was entirely competent for
the legislature to provide that a
candidate receiving less than 40
, per centum of his party vote
should not be deemed it's nominee,
and with such provision in the law
IA was Incumbent on the legisla-
ture to provide some other method

TABLOID HISTORY OF me soc
BY gibson GARDNER

The socialist is the coming party.
In the United States it appears
destined to acquire something like
the power it already Yields in rep
resentative governments of Europe.
In 1888 the socialists cast about
1000 votes; in 1892, 81 900 votes; In
1896, $4,000 votes; in 1900, over
100000 votes; in 1904. nearly $780,
900 votes. According to the record
of the party organization the dues
paying members have in the past
four years more than doubled
again, and the vote this wall is ex-
pected to approach the million
mark. r.
No other party has such perfect
organization. The members are
never out of touch with the leaders.
