Idaho Paper.
The time for securing subscriptions
to the Idaho edition of the Northwest
Worker will be up September 20. All
locals and members who have been
soliciting subscriptions for it should
report at that time.
Counting Ballots.
We wish to call attention of the To-
Gals to the sec. 8, article 3, of our
state constitution which reads as fol-
lows; "a local shall be considered in
good standing when three or more
members comply with all the provis-
ions of this constitution" and also to
the clause in sec. 5 of that article,
which reads thus; Each local shall
on or before the eighth day of each
month, make a report to the State
executive committee for the previous
month, on blanks furnished for that
purpose" Hereafter locals to have
their votes on referendum counted
must have their reports in for the
month preceding. Votes will not be
counted unless the locals casting them
report to this office, as provided in
the state constitution.
A Ford Car
Can we afford Ford? Can we af-
ford to be without one in organization
work? We can secure one delivered
in Idaho for selling 600 yearly subs
to the International Socialist Review
at one dollar per year. The magazine
is one of the best. One that educates
us in the revolutionary work of the
movement, keeps us informed as to
the news of the Labor movement. IT
is magazine that every well inform
ed Socialist reads. If we had one OF
these cars we could put an organizer
into it and let him go into the unor-
ganized communities and those that
cannot be reached by train and let
him cover and recover the same ter
ritory without having to pay out
many dollars each month for railroad
fare. An automobile is cheaper and
more convenient way of travelling
If you think we should undertake tt
get a car for permanent work in the
state, that will enable us to SEND
speakers into the outlying districts
you should write US about it. II
| should be an easy matter to sell that
many subs, as we have three times
that many members in the state. Sew
eral states are already working or
the matter so why should we not take
the matter up. 1t is only matter
of time until we will be compelled to
buy one in order to organize the unor.
ganized places. We have an oppor-
tunity now that will not last. Why
not take it up? The 1914 campaign
car carried a party of four over the
entire state and the collections anC
literature sales received amounted tc
about $4,000 more than the expense OF
the trip. An organizer could no doubt
pay his own way with collections and
literature sales.
Executive Committee Meeting
The State Executive Committee
met at the State Office, Sept. 3, in
regular business session and disposed
of the business awaiting their action
Among some of the most important
things taken up was the matter of
campaign funds. The State Secretary
was instructed to use every means ia
solicit funds for the present cam
paign. 1t was requested that he urge
the locals to push the circulation of
the DIME BANKS and to collect as
much money through that method as
possible.
