In few minutes we heard the sharp
crackle of infantry fire about half "a

retreat was cut off. Just then we
heard the sound Of an aero engine
overhead. 1t was flying so low that
through a glass we could easily see the
whirring propeller. The machine was
mounted with a rapid fire gun which
was trying to locate the German gun

to bring 1t down. For ten minutes
we saw shells bursting all about IT.

TIM OF CAPITALIST RULE

Word has just reached this office
that Comrade Flora |. Forman has
been indicted on the criminal charge
of rioting and housebreaking, the true
story of which occurrence was pub
lished in a recent issue of this paper.
If convicted, and the politicians will
see to this, our valiant comrade will
be imprisoned as well as deprived of
her certificate. The latter, of course,
is precisely what they are after. In
Oregon, as in Snohomish countl it
is decreed by the capitalist class and
their minions that there shall be moth
ing but master-class politics in the
public schools.
Comrades, send letters of protest to
County Attorney billiard, st. Helena,
Oregon. Those who are able to send
financial aid, which is badly needed,
should remit to Helen Heath, secre-
tary of the Defense league, Quincy,
Oregon.

bought in the temple, and overthrow
the tables of the money-changers, and
the seats of them that sold doves;

"And they came to New York, and
Jesus went into the Calvary Baptist
church, and he began to cast out them
that had made mockery of religion,
using his name to commit all manner
of crimes and cruelties, using his
name to commit all manner of crimes
and cruelties, using his name to cloak
the murder of innocent women and
little children.
"And he taught, saying unto Them

"And the scribes and chief priests

destroy him, for they feared him, be-
cause all the people were astonished

And so the scribes and the chief
priests called the police reserves and
the plain clothes men of the city of
New York. And the reserves came in
a patrol wagon, and they took Jesus
and smote him in the face with a
blackjack, they kicked him with their
feet, and threw him into the street,
cursing him for a disturber of the
peace. They cast him then into the
patrol wagon and carried him before
Judge. And the Judge, fearing the
wrath of the rich people of the land,
commanded that he be taken to the
workhouse for three months.

If the Socialists and their families
were not counted and IL the basis of
representation were the same as it
is now, there would be only 400 con-
gressmen. 1t is very clear then that
the other parties are getting the ac-
tual benefit Of Socialist votes.
This injustice can be remedied by
adopting a system of proportional rep
resentation. Everybody who wishes
to help in this matter should drop a
card to Senator Robert Owen, request
ing a free copy of the senate document
entitled EFFECTIVE Voting" Be sure
to keep it for permanent reference be-
cause the fight for proportional repre-
sentation is now on.
Particular attention should be CIV
en- to the Hare system which is some

tive in the election of city councils,
where the proportional system will
probably be introduced first.

SHOULD WE EXPECT
OF THE FOURTEENTH
LEGISLATURE?

Tho use of troops to coerce the
working class nus been common III
every age and country. Recent ex-
amples are the determination of the
poems in Il Mexican valley to create a
Hacienda and the massacre of Slber-
ian gold miners But in this country
we are told that we are equal: that
there are no classes; that each citizen
is an American sovereign, etc. SO it
Is with something of shock that we
learn that beginning with Shay's re-
belllon in 1886 down to the cowardIy
slaughter of women and children at
Ludlow, Colo, American workingmen
have been deemed fair target for the
bullets of young American clerks, APP
prentices, law students, etc, wearing
a militia uniform.
We must not accept this condition
of things as a fixed feature of capital
ism from which there is no escape.
Public sentiment is becoming more
anu iioi0 Oppobtu W NlOleHCe anu
military action in social crisis. AS
Socialists, we must study mass psy-
chology and apply our findings to the
good of the movement. This is an age
of peace societies, of international ar
bitration. We must utilize this grow
ing opposition to international war
fare in bringing about domestic peace.
The national executive committee
has summoned militia conference to
meet at Washington. d. c., next win
ter. What can we do, here, in Wash
ington state to further the purposes of
the conference locally?
Our state is ahead of many in that
our state constitution forbids Cart. |,
Sec. 24) individuals or corporations
to organize, maintain nor employ an
armed body of men," but this does not
rid us of the militia danger A consti-
tutional amendment should forbid the
use of the militia against unarmed
men. This wording would be safer
than one more specific which might
be knocked out by the court as class
legislation. This should be supple
mented by statutory restrictions.
The advantage of taking this matter
to the legislature is the saving in time
and money. The initiative and refer
endum requiring more of both. An
other thing, this will force our old
party politicians into the open on the
question.
What should we expect of the four
teenth legislature? Not chance to
introduce some bills and make a few
speeches. Not chance to operate
hot-air plant A Socialist delegation
using the right tactics can actually Sc
cure legislation in this direction. There
are many things impossible to us but
not this.

@. Kindly answer the following
question through the columns of the
Washington Socialist. Has a board
of directors Of school district of the
third class the right or power OF make
| extensive improvements on the school
buildings Of the district without let
ting contract or putting the matter
to vote Of the voters or patrons of
the SCHOOL,
A. The board of directors have
right to make REPAIRS but the max
ing of extensive improvements, such
as the building of an addition or ex-
tension to the presnt building, or the
building of basement, cannot be con-
siderd as making repairs. The law
provides that the board may build
school houses when directed by a
vote OF the district to do So" The
making of extensive improvements
can not be done without n favorable
vote of the district.
The law further provides: when
ever any board of directors shall be
authorized by the electors of their
district, to erect a school building, it
shall be the duty of such board, be-
fore entering into any contract for
the erection of any building, to obtain
the approval of the county superinten-
dent, of the plans and specifications
for the building OF be erected, includ-
ing also the heating, lighting, venti-
lating and safety thereof"
The law contains nothing more in
regard to the letting of contracts by
third class than contained in the sec
ton quoted above.

sold a tract of land in Snohomish
county on a real estate contract. The
contract was drawn on a printed blank
and is recorded. 1t calls for the party
of the second part to pay all the taxes
and assessments that may be levied
on said land, which said party of the
second part is willing to do. The said
pjarty has put valuable Improvements
on the land, and paid the 1912 taxes,
but the treasurer refused to take the
taxes on his improvements and had
to pay the taxes on them. still have
a tract of land there in Snohomish
county adjoining this tract which
sold on contract, and now the 1919
taxes on the land sold are assessed
to me, and the county assessor says
II cannot be assessed to the party OF
the second part until he gets deed.
A. A. S.
A. There must be some mistake
about the treasurer refusing to take
tax money. Usually he doesn't care
who pays the taxes, just so they are
paid. The taxes will continue to be
assessed to you until you give a deed
of the land to the man who bought it
The difficulty is that the land you sold
and the land you still have, stood orr
ginally on the books of the assessor
and treasurer as one piece of land
and it must remain 50 until it is seq
regated by deed If you have to pay
the taxes on all Of the land, then you
can refuse to give your purchasers a
deed until he settles for the taxes that
you have paid for him; this your con
tract gives you a right to do.
