YE PARTY COLYUM
WE ARE IN DISTRESS

Comrades and friends, pacifists and
preparedists, nationalists and inter
nationalsts, revolutionists and reform
lists, direct actlonlsts and political ac'
tionists, and all others who are sore
at things as they be, to you we ad-
dress this appeal We are in dire
distress. Regardless of the shades Of
opinion, red, yellow, green, or pink,
that may indicate to yourselves your
superiority over fellow revolutonists,
we beseech you to give us aid and
counsel in this hour of need. AS we
proceed which we shall do without
further parley, our purpose in appeal
ing to you will become plain.
New and great issues are now con-
fronting our beloved organization
The greatest of these is preparedness.
We have read this so many times,
both in the Socialist press and the
kept press, that we believe it. Like
the humble follower of truth we are,
we studiously examined opinions of
the master minds of the revolution
on preparedness The master minds,
we are panied to remark, have led us
into a blind alley.
AN ANTI-PREPAREDNEss-sT
We feverishly consumed whole
pages of the appeal filled with AL
Ian Benson's opinions in 12-point type,
against preparedness. We admiringly
contemplated Allan in his dormitory
overlooking the Hudson, penning his
mighty attack on the "Usurped Pow
er of the Courts" and we knew man
capable of producing so great docu-
ment could not go wrong. Straight
way we became an enthusiastic anti
preparedness-ist.
Scarcely had We reprinted Allan's
arguments-so as to give them the
appearance of originality-for our pub
lie address, when we were dumb
founded to learn that our old-time
comrade, C. Edward Russell, of New
York, had come out for preparedness.
This astonished us more than when
we received the nomination from Ev-
erett for presidential elector.
Consequently we had to start again.
For days we wandered about in deep
study. We had read c. Edwards
"Why | Am a Socialist" and had en-
joyed it; we were carried away by
his captivating language in "These
Shifting Scenes; we were impressed
by the intellectual brow in his pic
ture On the front cover of Doing Us
Good and Plenty" and so we decided
to cast our lot with the preparedists.
No sooner had we arrived at this
conclusion than the monster, Doubt,
in the shape of a peculiar brand of
internationalism by e. Untermann,
again thrust his ugly head in our tent.
We were about to be converted by
Ernest when our ideas were again
knocked out of keller by Ye Editor,
who rose high on his editorial chair

Important!
ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY

Again the question of county auto
Monty Is before the membership OF
Washington and this time the aues-
tion/is stated: shall the dues of the
autonomous and non autonomous
Counties be made the same?" The
fembership of the state is entitled
fo thorough understanding OF the
proposed question. The matter OF
county autonomy should be consid-
cred solely and only upon IT'S merits
and not upon any preconceived opin-
ions and prejudices, and as chairman
of the Snohomish County Executive
Committee for the past three years |
have had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve the workings of county autono-
my. The question as proposed Is UNI
fair. Every member will upon first
reading agree, skeptically, that the
dues of the autonomous and non
autonomous counties should be made
the same. But it must be remem-
bered that by the passage of this mo-
ton the dues OF the autonomous coun-
ties will not be reduced. The locals
dues will remain the same in the au-
tonomous counties but the revenue for
carrying on the county work will be
abolished and the revenue of the state
office will be increased. What pro
vision is made that this additional
revenue will be spent to the same ad-
vantage that it is now spent in the up
building of the organization either in
the state or the various counties af-
fected?
The question does not consist sole
ly in making the dues of the autono-
nous and non-autonomous equal but
virtually the abolishing of a definite
part of the organization, namely coun-
ty autonomy in it's present state. By
abolishing the dues revenue the auto
nomous counties must raise their rev.
enues for carrying on the organization
in other ways. While admitting that
the present county autonomy should
and will be remedied as the member
ship grows enlightened as to what
county autonomy means, nevertheless
the present motion is destructive and
absolutely unfair for it proposes not
to build up and perfect the present
county organization, but to destroy it
entirely. County autonomy is in the
same relation to the state as state
autonomy is to the nation, both the
result of a realization that by eff
cient organization in every place the
movement advances. County autonomy
is not perfect, it is admitted, but in
spite of all it's present defects it is a
vast improvement over the non-auto-
nomous county organization. The
comrades are asked to vote upon the
proposed question intelligently. The
motion does not mean simply that
the dues from the autonomous and
non-autonomous counties be equaled
and the dues of the state office be
increased with no provision as to its
expenditure, but the motion as pro-
posed means the virtual abolition of
constructive part of our organiza-
ton
