BUSINESS GOVERNMENTS

Now and again the capitalist press
bowls for Business Government"
but it only does so when that govern
ment is too far away to have politi-
cal comeback on the said papers or
when some official has failed to make
him or herself good fellow to that
particular paper.
In the recent primaries in Snohom-
ish county big bungle resulted from
inefficiency Of the county auditors
office which must have cost the county
an extra $1,000. The polling books
and ballots were in such a muddled
condition that the election board in
every polling booth were compelled to
work several hours more than would
have been necessary if the county
clerks office had performed it's duty
in an efficient manner.
The capitalist press Of this county
however, has been mum on the sub
ject. County Auditor Mae Weatherbee
may be good fellow" and it may
pay the press to keep silent on the
matter. At least it looks that way.
The direct primary anyhow is a
huge joke and big expense to every
state. The cost to this state alone
amounts to at least $4,000 and could
easily be dispensed with and that
amount saved by the state. On Thurs
day, October Ia, provincial election
took place just across the line in Brit
ish Columbia. Forty-two candidates
we're elected to the legislature and
within three hours after the polls had
:losed the vote of the entire province
as known, and the candidates elect
j will take their seats without furth-
- elections. This looks something
ike efficiency but the politicians on
this side of the line don't care for that
Kind of efficiency because there is not
enough meal tickets in it.
The primary should be abolished,
but it never will be abolished until the
Socialists get into office. We are
perfectly sure of this because were it
not FOR the primaries the Socialists
would be in office today and once we
20 get hold of the reins of government
we will certainly abolish that partic-
ular phase of the political game that
excludes US from conducting the af-
fairs of the people as they should be
conducted instead of as the politicians
would have them conducted.

A $4,000 STATE
CAMPAIGN FUND

Comrade r. j. Olinger tells us that
if he is elected to congress that he will
not be able to spend the $1,000 a year
salary that he will get, so will turn
something like $4,000 year ut least
over to the state campaign fund.
The campaign posters are being
sent out to the different parts of the
district and some of the comrades are
pleased with the posters, although we
might state that they have not seen
all Of the posters yet. We are having
5000 printed and only few have
been sent out to date.

teen hundred workers heard Allan l.
Benson, Socialist candidate for Pres
ident, denounce Woodrow Wilson ant
| Charles r.. Hughes as creatures OF
Wall Strict here yesterday. Benson
hit Wilson's statement in his speech
of acceptance that the workingmar
had been given "vertible emancipa.
ton" as an insult to the intelligence
of labor. Hughes, Benson said, was
slightly preferred over Wilson by
Wall Street, but big business was not
worrying over who wins. He backed
up his statement by reading letter
from large banking house in New
York, which said the business men of
the country had nothing to be anxious
over so far as the campaign was con-
cerned.
Applause Stops Speaker.
Interrupted by applause at frequent
intervals, Benson was brought to full
stop when he launched into denun-
citation of the huge preparedness
measures recently passed by Congress
Hell fire of militarism" and IAN apol-
ogy to the Kaiser for the bad things
we've said about his militarism" were
biting phrases in Benson's speech that
brought ripples of applause, where an
other speaker would have had to re-
sort to a funny story.

Workers Are Convinced
All along the line the Socialists are
eagerly and critically watching Ben
son for comparison with Eugene V.
Debs' campaigning of former years.
Benson is improving daily in his deliv-
cry. After every meeting workmen
come up to him and tell him his talk
has convinced them and they are 60
ing to vote the Socialist ticket. Here
is what the editor of the Washington
(Pa.) Observer, Republican paper
wrote of Benson after a two hour in
terview with him:
''To the list of the few speakers we
have heard who can talk effectively
for an hour without a minutes waste
of time, without surplus verbiage
without getting off the subject, with
out saying a word inconsistent with
his fundamental assumptions, without
even losing the attention of the aud
fence, without resorting to any tricks
of oratory or interlarding any funny
stories we add the name of Allan L.
Bencon.

FLOUR GOES UP
SOC PER BARREL
TEN-DOLLAR PRICE is LOOKED
FOR AS THE WHEAT MARKET
CONTINUES TO SOAR

When everything else has got all
done jumping on the wretched con-
sumner, the price of flour goes UP.
The pessimistic outlook includes
SO a barrel. the price that followed
the outbreak of war in Europe two
years ago. This time it is the wheat
crop which is now guessed off as be-
ing 30 per cent less than it looked as
if it was going to be a month ago.
The Chicago wheat market romped
Thursday as follows:
September, $146 1-2; December,
$3.50 and May, s1.54 7-S.
The net immediate result was a
hike of so cents a Darrell on flour
among the Brunswick wholesalers, set
ting the best patent at SO and the
lowest at s5.75. The leap of this week
puts flour in Brunswick $1.50 a bar
rel higher than it was a month ago,
when the Chicago wheat market
found there was really no kind of a
lid on it.
Brunswick dealers are uncertain as
to how high prices will go, but the con
sensus of opinion is that if cash
wheat and futures continue TO ascend
flour here will rise to SO barrel
A canvass among leading retail
stores found them less apprehensive.
They said that they had not advanced
the price of flour to any extent, ex-
cept on purchases made during the
last few days. and that they have suf-
ficient supply to last for few weeks
at normal prices. However, when
their present supply, purchased at
lower prices, is used up they will have
to pay the wholesaler the advanced
price, which will naturally raise the
price to the consumer.
Since the upward movement began
in Chicago cash wheat at st. Louis
has risen from $109 20 $1.42 a bushel
Since August 1 it has advanced from
| $1.29 to $1.3S ,bushel.
| Since the rise started in wheat fu
| lures month ago, September has
| advanced from $1.02 SIS to STAG IL, ;
| gain of over AZ cents. Like upturn'
have been recorded in December ant
| May.
Both corn and oats have advanced
sharply in sympathy with wheat
Both the corn and oats crops are il

ALWAYT FIGHT

Is little mountain hamlet that was

Austro-ItalIan front, and perhaps on
any army front, where enemy trench
lines actually run into each other.
For 400 miles on this front the Aus

to fifty yards, but at Gagora, they
slide into each other and then slide

The situation at zagora illustrates
the difficult and curious character Of
the warfare on this front where
