EAGLES WILL
FLY HIGH
TEN DAYS CARNIVAL AT ROB
BINS PARK, 4TH OF JULY,
TO BE THE BIG DAY WITH
STREET PARADE, FIRE
WORKS, ETC. - LIBERAL
PRIZES OFFERED FOR THE
PARADE FEATURES.

1t has become quite the approved
fashion of late years to have carniva
with us about this time of year will
the Fourth of July as THE big day. II
talking about this the other day one oi
the boys said, "Why, we didn't have
any carnival here two years ago Fourth
of July week" "Yes we did" said an.
other, BILLY Sunday was here then
THAT was no carnival" said still an
other, THAT was threering circus"
Be that as it may, we are going to
have a ten days carnival, beginning
June 27, and extending till the 7th of
July. The Fraternal Order of Eagles
is the society behind the frolic, and it is
due to their enterprise that the ten
days merry making will be given us.
All the familiar carnival features
which are as intimately associated with
the thought of carnival as clowns are
with circus, will be on hand and many

There will be fun on tap all the
time, but the BIG day will be the
Fourth of July. At 10 a. m. monster
parade will be held and invitations have
been sent to every union and fraternal
order in the city to participate in this
feature.
The list of prizes offered for this
parade ought to stimulate lively compe-
tition. There is chance for some
union to get in and cop out one of those
$50 awards.
The prizes have been announced as
follows:
The organization having the most
members in line, $50
Organization having most uniformed
members in line, $50.
For the best decorated float, $50.
For the best decorated automobile,
$50.
The parade will undoubtedly be the
best in point of picturesqueness that
has travelled over Everett pavements for
many day.
At p. m. the Queen of the Carnival
will be crowned on the carnival grounds
and begin her majesty's most gracious
reign over thousands of loyal and
willing subjects.
AT s o'clock p. m. comes the fireworks
not the kind like they're having in
Chicago this week, but the real old
fashioned Fourth of July kind. 1t will
be a grand Fourth and the Eagles will
be hosts to $4,000 people from early
dawn till the morning after.

FOR
TAX REFORM
ASKS EACH LABOR UNION IN
THE STATE TO NAME A
MEMBER OF A TAX RE-
FORM COMMITTEE - MAX
ING CAMPAIGN FOR LAND
COMMISSIONER ON TAX
REFORM ISSUE.

/
To the members of organized labor:
If | am elected state land commits
sioner 1 will ask the state federation of
labor to name one member of cabinet
of five with whom | will cooperate in
drafting and submitting to the people
amendments to our laws and constitu-
tion providing:
First-For equal access to all natural
resources by all citizens.
Second--For the enjoyment by each
producer of all values he can show to
be the result of his labor; and
Third-For the distribution to each
citizen of an equal share in all values
not created by the labor of any one
person, but resulting from the mere
growth and development of the COM
munity.
First-Equal access to natural re-
sources can be secured by leasing for
short periods and dividing the rentals.
Second-Each producer whether en-
ployee or employer or self employing
farmer) will receive the full reward of
his toll when we abolish speculation by
taxing idle land into use. With land
easily accessible, no one will work for
less than he can secure by working for
himself.
Third-Increases in the value of
natural resources lover $l50,000,000 a
year, belong of right to all the people;
not to the parasitic speculator who
merely appropriates them.
Each Labor Union Should Act.
1 wish every labor union and grange
in the state would appoint committee
of one (selected from volunteers) to
cooperate with me in the campaign we
are making for justice concerning COM
munity made values. l am now work
ing with several hundred union men
but l want an accredited representative
of every union. l am fully persuaded
that no other one thing promises so
much for wageworkers and small farm
ers as does this matter of securing a
Just distribution of our. community
made values; not merely for the large
annual dividends lat least 800 for an
average family but in securing steady
work at fair wages-all one produces by
his labor. I therefore ask editors to
print this request, and urge interested
members to bring the matter before
every local, and to write me at once
what steps are being taken to awaken
public sentiment on this paramount is
sue, for the plunderbund is using the
daily press to distract attention from
ISSUES to MEN. Yours for justice,
w. H. KAUFMAN.

TAYLOR HERE
NEXT WEEK
WILL DELIVER A LECTURE
EACH EVENING ILLUSTRAT-
ED WITH STEROPTICON
VIEWS-VIEWS ARE EN-
PERTAINING AND INSTRUC.
TIVE AND COVER WIDE
RANGE OF TOPICS.

Beginning next Monday evening ant
continuing until Saturday, Chas. Perry
Taylor will be in the Labor Temple and
will give his illustrated lecture each
evening. The views Brother Taylor pre-.
sents cover wide variety of subjects
All craft labels will be shown on the
screen and these alone are worth seeing
1t is doubtful if the average unionist
knows over dozen labels when he sees
them. After Mr.. Taylor gets through.
many of us ought to be better posted
on the labels in use by the various
crafts.
Brother Taylor has travelled extens-
lively over the state and has used his
camera to good effect. The scenery in
Washington is unsurpassed in any part
of the country, and some splendid scenic
views caught by the camera will be
thrown on the screen. Views of union
celebrations and outings will be shown
and the spectators will recognize in
some of them their own friends and ac-
quaintances.
Brother Taylor has only five evenings
to give us and the committee has en-
deavored to work out program that
will give all an opportunity to see the
views. Four special evenings have been
arranged for unions meeting on those
nights and one evening will be thrown
open for all union people.
The program as arranged is as fol-
lows:
Monday evening, June a4th: Label
league.
Tuesday evening, June 25th: Teams
ters. The teamsters have made this an
open meeting for all drivers in the city,
whether members of the union or not.
Wednesday evening, June aeth: Saw
Mill Workers. This will be an open
meeting for men working in the saw
mills of Everett. All are welcome and
cordially invited.
Thursday evening, June a7th: Carpen-
ters and Electricians.
Friday evening, June asth: Open
meeting of the Trades Council. On
this evening union men and women of
all unions are invited to attend.
There will be no charge whatever for
any of these entertainments. There
will be no admission, no collections
taken nor no assessments levied on any
local unions. The prime reason for
this series of illustrated lectures is edu-
cational. Brother Taylor is an able and
entertaining speaker and will explain the
significance of each view as it is thrown
on the screen.
The large hall down stairs will be
used throughout the week for Brother
Taylor's lectures.
Unionists should turn out strong to
these entertainments. Keep in mind the
schedule arranged and the date of the
big open meeting for everybody Friday
night, June 2S.

ANSWERS SPECIOUS PLEA.

of Labor Organization.

Raymond Robins Tells OF the benehts
of Labor Organization.
Have you ever heard it said that II
you give leisure and better wages to
some men they will spend them in sa-
looms and in loafing around? Raymond
Robins. who worked when nineteen
years old In the Old South twelve hours
day for 81 day in an unorsanized
mine, in the Survey gives neat answer
to this speciouS plea when he says: And
if you give more dividends to some
men their sons will buy automobiles
and give them TO chorus girls. But /
am not going TO judge either class by
the vicious members of that class. In
other words, honor and truth and well
meaning are not special privileges of
any group.

FEELING VOTERS MAKE
HISTORY AT THE POLLS.

Well, its all over. The sovereign
voice of the people was heard last
Tuesday-we refer to Everett, not Chi
cago-and three men chosen to govern
the city under the commission plan for
the next four years. The campaign was
a spirited one, under the surface, but
outwardly election day was as quiet as
a Quaker meeting. Save for the auto
mobiles dashing through the strets with
their cargoes of much needed voters,
and little knots of men around the poll
cations that Everett's electorate was
casting a vote that meant much to all
classes of her people. Men and women
came and went to and from the polling
places quietly and without excitement,
their minds fully made up before they
entered the booths
\ monster crowd heard the election
returns from in front of Haferkorn's,
good natured, orderly crowd, ready to
the result was pretty accurately fore
casted by the full returns from five pre-
cints and partial returns from the
others. Later returns never changed the
earlier forecast
The scrap between Skaggs and Chris
tianson was the closest of the three,
Skaggs showing great strength in the
voting. Brodeck and Thompson won
easily over Olinger and Hassel, leading
over their opponents from the fall of
the flag.
Of course there are some disappoint-
ed people in Everett.
Labor had hoped to elect Olinger and
is frankly disappointed that he failed
to land. Most of us are good losers,
however, and are not disposed to bark
and growl It is useless to say this
might have been done or that left un-
done. 1t does not change results. The
majority of the voters said unmistakbly
that it wanted certain men and that
ought to settle it until next election
1t is the duty of all classes of citizens
to lay aside the hammer until the newly
elected commissioners have had a chance
to see what they can do in the way of
administering affairs in the interests
of the people. If in the long run they
fail to make good, there is way by
which they may be chastened in spirit.
July 1st will be moving day at the
city hall-old tenants moving out and
new ones moving in. And it will be
some move, as a pretty thorough clean
up is looked for.
Let us hope and pray that there may
be a surcease of local politics for a few
weeks at least-long enough for US to
take a brief glance at the great pen
nant fight in the Northwest Baseball
league.

AIMS OF UNioNiSM.

What have our unions done?
What do they aim TO do? To i'm
prove the standard of life. to mp
root ignorance and foster e1uca
tion, to instill character, man
hood and independent spirit
among our people: TO bring about
recognition of the interdepend-
ence of man upon his fellow
man. We aim to establish Il nor
NAL workday. to take the chill
dren from the factory and the
workshop and give them the op-
portunity of the school and play
ground. In word, our unions
strive to tighten toll, educate
their members, make their homes
more cheerful and I'm every way
contribute an earnest effort to-
ward making life the better
worth living. To achieve these
praiseworthy ends we believe
that all honorable and lawful
means are both justifiable and
commendable and should receive
the sympathetic support of every
right thinking American.-Sam-
uel Gompers in McClure's Maya
zine.
