THEY SHOT AT YOU!
(Soc. Party Press Service)

Every shot fired at workers on
strike is shot fired at you Every
drop of blood shed in the cause OF
labor is blood shed for you. Every
life lost in the struggle of toll has
been martyred that you and yours
might live.
1t was thought that capitalism had
done it's worst at the massacre of the
women and babes at Ludlow, Colo.
The conservative, capitalist New York
Tribune tells us that we are mistaken.
The Tribune declares that the
slaughter of the striking fertilizer
workers at Chrome, N. j., just few
days ago was Worse than the Lud-
low battle in the Colorado strike
But a few hours after the Chicago
police had turned their guns on a
parade of jobless men and women,
protesting against their hunger and
nakedness, gang of hired gunner,
assassins no less legalized, turn loose
hail of deadly bullets on a gathering
Of striking workers at Chrome, New
Jersey
All escaped bodily injury in the
murderous attack at Chicago. But 20
were sent to Jail. Not SO easily did
the workers escape the penalty for
asserting their rights at Chrome, N.
j. There one striker fell martyr to
the cause of Labor, four were fatally
wounded, IL others less seriously in
jured.
The ink had hardly dried on the
United States Supreme Court decision
upholding the assessing of $252,130 in
damages against the 200 Danbury,
Conn.,, members of the Hatter's Union,
when the courts of Arkansas levied
fines of $500 and $1,000 and Jail sent
ences against seven members of the
United Mine Workers of America,
growing out of the miners strike in
that state. Among the Arkansas min
ers who thus suffered the wrath of
capitalist law was Fred Holt, recent
Socialist candidate for governor of
Oklahoma, In the meantime the
struggle in eastern Ohio RACES on.
1t may be your turn. You may be
the next victim. When the public
would-be murderers of Chicago shot
at the parading jobless they shot at
you. When the private murderers of
Chrome, N. j., did their work of death
the blood spilled was not the blood
alone of few workers. 1t was the
blood of the entire working class.

HAS TRUE RING OF

Charleston, Wn, Feb. 81, 1915.
Maynard Shipley, Editor Washington
Socialist, Everett, Wash
Comrade. Have noted the ANALYSIS
you gave on the farmers connection
with the working class movement. It
has the true ring of scientific econ
omics, and the courage to so state the
truth in these times of political de-
generacy Is certainly admirable. If
we ever get free it will be through the
truth. Not likely otherwise.
There are indications that this coun.
try expects that it may become in
volved in the European slaughter. II
some handy man will only touch q
match, that is about all that is nee
essary now. There are powerful
forces in this country that want t.

26 NEW MEMBERS !

Vancouver, Wash, Feb. 26, 1915.
Dear Editor:
Our local met at comrade Squire's
home last Sunday, and admitted 26
new members. This is the work of
our lady comrades, Mrs. Squires, Mrs.
Ronald and Mrs. Sulak. The COM
rades all thank them many times for
their good and faithful work, We ex-
pect many more new members at our
next meeting Now IL this local can
make a gain like this in less than two
weeks, why can't others do the same?
So get busy, comrades, and watch our
party grow. We are all doing our best
to make Kirkpatrick's meeting a
grand success. We expect a good
turnout, and to derive much benefit
out of this meeting.
We have decided to enter the school
election here, and have nominated
Mrs. Lee Squires for director. Now,
comrades, may l make one sugges'
ton: il any of you are SO afflicted
(Which l hope you are not,) as to be
so childish, and so jealous, that you
are afraid some comrade will hand
another a bouquet, or mention his
name in some way, for Gods sake gel
rid of such an idea. For you can never
get any place with an idea like that
in your head.
Remember, we are all working fol-
each others good, and should always
practice brotherly love to its fullest
extent. Don't ever hold malice
against comrade; and If you have
any little thing against him, forget it;
and whatever you do, don't bring it to
the local with you. Do your part as
a comrade should, and don't complain
to others about it. Remember, we are
all of the same class, and should help
each other all we can. Let us forget
our little differences and unite as one
for United we stand, divided we
fall" Yours for Socialism,
o. e. DYE, Secry.

outlook, Wash, Feb. II, 1915.
Editor Washington Socialist:
You are saying SO many good things
lately can't refrain from writing
you few lines.
Right you are in your refusal to
petition President Wilson or any one
else in power to tighten the burdens
of labor. Neither he or any one else
in power was elected for any such
purpose. Neither are the members
of the Washington Legislature "trai,
tors" Fools they may be, elected by
those who are venal or ignorant. Not
one of them has any brief to defend
the working class. All the working
class candidates were defeated at the
last election in this state.
A good many reformers are setting
up howl because the Legislators are
reactionary.
For my part ! say go to it and re
peal all so-called reform measures
cripple the primary law and the initia-
tive and referendum law II you dare
or so please, the people have so voted
at the last election. l want to see
the powers that be do something
which will compel the working class
to unite on radical platform know
ing no religion, color or nativity
knowing only Socialism and solidar-
ity. Yours for a revolution,

Farmer and Agitator.

NEWS FROM EDMONDs

Edmonds, Wn., Feb. %, 1915.
Dear comrades and readers of The
Washington Socialist:
Politics are taking on new life in
Edmonds, and vicinity with the COM
ing of school election. Parties and
factions seem to be filled with the
spirit of spring; judging by the keen
interest and enthusiasm of each.
There are two factions known as
the Dorgan and anti-Dorgan, Of which
the superintendent is the bone of con-
tention.
The former argue that the district
cannot get along without him (the
present superintendent and the lat
ter seem to think that he has outlived
his usefulness.
With the district laboring under a
$4,000 debt both factions are asking
for votes on the platform of honesty
and efficiency"
Last, but we hope not least, comes
that ever growing Socialist party that
has for it's slogan the World for the
Workers and as one of the campaign
committeeman said: 1--WE do not care
for capitalistic honesty and efficiency,
we want something that is good for
the people that work. We want real
education by teachers that are edu-

FARMING COMMITTEE
 |S MADE PERMANENT
Will Continue Spreading Gospel ot DiversificatiOn for Arkan-
 SaS Crops.

Little Rock, Jan. 2.-The Arkansas profitable farming campaign commit tee was made a permanent organiza- tion at a meeting at the Union Trust Company, Second and Louisiana streets. Little change was made in the personnel and several new names were added to the roll.
 That the committee be made per manent was suggested by H. F. Au- ten, chairman, but he declined to ac- cept the position of chairman on ac- count of pressing business. E. J. Bodman, assistant secretary of the Union Trust Company, was elected chairman to succeed MT. Auten. The publicity committee, of which Fred Heiskell is the chairman, was reap pointed
 The object of the committee will be to continue the work started by the profitable farming campaign. Numerous requests for further in. formation are being received daily and the necessity of follow-up work is apparent.
 The requests will be attended to by the committee and information will be furnished through agricultur- al experts on all subjects desired. A number of requests have come from different localities asking that meet ings be again held and that agricul- tural experts address the farmers of the respective vicinities along the lines of the crops most adapted to that vicinity.
 H. s. Mobley, president of the Arkansas Farmers Union, was chair man of the meeting, and D. c. Welty agricultural commissioner of the Mis- souri Pacific-Iron Mountain railroad came from St. Louis to attend. Plans for marketing the crops of the farm CTS were discussed.
 The committee will meet again next Wednesday at the chamber ot commerce. Subcommittees will be appointed and reports on follow-up plans will be given. This meeting will also be attended by MT. Welty.
 The new members elected are J E. Lightle of Searcy, E. T. Tobey, C. J. Griffith, Mayor Charles E. Taylor E. c. Johnston and c. O. Carpenter.

WOULD INCREASE TAX.
Martineau Will Ask Legislature to
 Revise Franchise Act.

Little Rock, Dec. 3O.-State Tax Commissioner A. c. Martineau will recommend that the coming legisla- ture thoroughly revise the present law governing the levy of an annual franchise tax against corporations according to announcement made by him here.
 eve collect annually only about $1S5,000 from the corporations ot Arkansas said Commissioner Mar tineau when we ought to collect at least $5O0,O0O annually. We are far behind other states in this regard, as Wisconsin collects S3,000,000 and H. linois S4,O0O,O0O or more from this source.
 'I shall recommend law radical ly revising the present franchise act, and asking for an increase of the tax from one-fifteenth of one per cent of the capital stock employed in the state to one-tenth of one per cent. This will apply to all except public service corporations. The latter class should pay tax on their gross re- ceipts or gross earnings.
 "I shall also ask for a graduated scale of tax, dependent upon the class of the corporation. Any corporation that has a monopoly or a near mo- nopoly by it's very nature should pay higher tax than corporations of other classes. We ought to raise at least S350,OO0 more annually by the franchise tax than is now done, and measure as will accomplish this end.''
