Then lower the fists and bring them as far back Of

DAMAGE DONE BY
PLUTOCRATIC PRESS

The threatened food shortage
might have been averted had the
press and politicians dealt more hon
city with the people during the past
few years. For example, in the
year 1903, the people of Oregon vot-
ed on a proposition to take many
taxes off Of labor products and in
crease taxes on land values. In
1912, 1914, and again in 1916, meas
ures similar to this in principle
We're again submitted. Had there
been a favorable vote at any time,
thousands Of acres now lying idle
would have been brought into use.
Crops in Oregon would have been
much greater, and the country's food
supply would not have been so scant.
Other States would have followed
Oregon's example and the whole ma
ton have benefited.
But each time the people rejected
the measure. The possibility, Of
course, lies primarily with the voters.
But they are not altogether to blame.
A large number Of the papers of
the state We're active in spreading
misinformation concerning the prop
osition and so mislead voters into
opposition. A number Of politicians

LUDLOW MEMORIAL

TOLLERBERG, Col.-Out on the

10000 men, women and children
marched to honor the memory Of
nearly a score Of women and chill
dren killed in the Ludlow tent col
ony, during the miners strike, April
20, 1914. Every mining camp in
southern Colorado was represented.
A speakers stand was erected on the
tent colony grounds, which property
Is now owned by the United Mine
Workers Of America. Addresses were
delivered in English, Slavish, Italian
and Spanish.
The United Mine Workers are pre-
pairing to erect a monument at this
spot in memory Of those whose lives

THE SILENT BOYCOTT

At least a majority Of citizens IN
the business center have heard Of the
"silent" boycott carried on by mem
bers of the Commercial club, particu-
larly the sawdust contingent Of that
organization, against business men
and individuals in Everett. They
are still at it, knocking everybody
who doesn't run his business or eN-
press his thoughts in agreement
with the sawdust aristocrats who
would subordinate everything in Ev-
erett to their private interests.
1t is said men working in the mills
have been discharged for patroniz-
ing business houses placed under the
ban by the sawdusters. This "ham-
mer brand" of civic patriots ave
well enough pleased when Everett
is quiet in a business sense, for if
the city were humming with industry
mill workers wages would rise, and
"that wouldn't do at all That
sort of condition would bring con-
tentment and prosperity.
