AN INCREDIBLE PREDICTION.

The recent attempt of Governor
Philip of Wisconsin to appoint a
successor to the late Senator Hus-
ting, instead of calling a special
election and permitting the electors
to express their choice, right guar
anteed by the constitution, causes a
great deal Of speculation as to lust
bow brazen will be the war profit
GERS in their eagerness to stifle a
voice of protest by the people.
A few months ago, prediction
that the reactionary forces and the
war profiteers will soon launch a
movement to prevent the holding of
congressional elections next year, de-
spite the requirements of the Consti-
tuition of the United States, was
made to a Washington newspaper
man by one of the foremost Wis
consin Progressive Republicans in
congress.
while there is no evidence of
such a plan," he said, there is
every indication that the fellows who
are making huge war profits, and
are lodging the burden of war taxa
ton they should carry, are terribly
afraid of the expression of the mind
OF the voters next year. They will
prevent the holding of an election II
they can. Their cry will be that
there should be no division of public
sentiment on the war program while
our army is in the trenches in Eu-
rope. and that just as European cleo
lions have been postponed, Under
constitutional forms, so our congress.
sional election should be put off, re.

1t is the height of pessimism t.

would flaunt their audacity and ar
rogance by attempting to deprive The
people OF the sacred right to vote.

WHAT O1HER1PApERS SAY
VIOLENCE SHOULD BE STOPPED.

VIOLENCE SHOULD BE STOPPED.
Superior telegram: There is no rea-
sonable excuse for 1awless violence in
this country, where we are all sup
posed u live under the law. If our
rights are lawlessly violated we can
put in motion all of the powerful ma
chinery Of government for our protec-
ton, and for the arrest and punish
ment of those who are guilty Of the
wrong. The law is wide in it's provi-
slons, comprehensive. inclusive and as
ample as the lawmakers elected by
the people can make it.
Hence violence ia strictly out of
order and should have no standing
anywhere. Just now the press dis
patches tell US that at Tulsa, Okla,
a mob took II l. W. w. members
under arrest from the officers who
had charge Of them and whipped and
tarred and feathered. the II men and
ran them out of that locality, firing
hundreds Of gunshots in the air as the
men fled in the darkness.
This mob violence should be pun
ished the same as any other kind of
mob violence ought to be punished.
There was no reasonable excuse for
it. The II men were under arrest
and were not trying to escape. The
processes of the law were not being
hindered in any way. except by the
mob itself. Such doings should not
be tolerated, and are not likely to be
in any really civilized community. The
people of this country prefer to live
under the protection of the law, but
mob violence, no matter by whom,
promotes disregard of the law. Let
that sort of thing be stopped.

A. THREAT FROM THE RICH.

NOnpartisan< Leader: Professor
Seligman's arguments against taking
from the rich to fight the war what
the rich can we'll spare are remark
able, to say the least. One of his
strong cards is the statement that if
swollen incomes are taxed too heav-
lily "the sources Of charity will be
dried up" In other words, the rich
will have few less crumbs to throw
to charity. Thus argues this profess
sor, many charitable institutions will
no longer have a revenue to support
the poor, the sick and the needy. This
from a man rated as an eminent
economist! Another argument Of the
professor is sinister. He says that the
tax machinery Of the country would
probably break down under tho strain
OF collecting a tax from the rich that
would amount to confiscation or near
confiscation of a large part Of their
swollen incomes. Now. what does the
professor mean by this? Does he
mean that the rich would refuse to
disgorge and that the resulting at
tempt to enforce the law would be a
'breakdown' of the taxing machinery
Does he mean that the rich would
forcibly resist CONSUMPTION Of wealth
No other conclusion can be reached by
studying his argument The rank and
file Of the people have willingly sub
mitted to the selective draft to till the
army. Organized resistance would be
treason. Yet here is the mouthpiece
Of Big Business, apparently threaten
ing an organized rebellion of tho rich
II their dollars are drafted. Do the
war profiteers want it understood that
they will resist, with force. efforts to
take their profits to fight for democ-
racy in Europe? .:.>..~$1.I ..,.<.. -

LABOR AND THE LAND.


The Public: Organized farmers and
organized wage earners are fast COM
ing to realization that they are COM
mon sufferers from our system Of
land tenure. In California another
strong coalition of farmer and wage
Garner has just been formed under
the name of the California Union of
Producers and Consumers. Paul
Scharrenberg, secretary treasurer of
the State Federation of Labor and a
member of the State Immigration and
Housing Commission, is secretary of
the new organization. In an editorial
in the Coast Seamen's Journal, of
which he is editor, Mr.. Scharrenberg
points out that the new organization
can serve both farmers and wage
earners by working for reform Of
taxation, exempting improvements
from taxation and placing more Of
the tax burden upon privilege and big
interests" and for land fos the land
less; government aid and encourage
ment in opening land to any person
able and willing to cultivate it; this
to include taking land from speculat-
ors and the reclamation of unculti-
waited land"
Mr.. Scharrenberg is one OF the best
executive officers serving state feder-
ations Of labor in the country. And
he is also the most ardent. champion.
among labor men. of the taxation Of
land values as remedy for our eco
nomic ills and the best means Of
achieving economic freedom.

and around the mines in shape. They
are employed in the air compressor

running the engines. They work
around the pumps, which keep the
mines free of water and which save
the properties from being flooded.
Some Of the shop electricians make
repairs on motors which furnish po-

make extensions of light lines into the
drifts while another group goes
through the mines to repair wiring
put on timbers before the sets are
extended. Others look after the fans
which ventilate the mines and free the
drifts from smoke after blasting.

butte LABOR TROUBLES
DUE TO GERMAN AGENTS
l. W. w. CONTROLS NEW UNION
STRIKE OF ELECTRICIANS
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.

! The Associated Press reports of thu
labor troubles at Butte convey a very
indefinite idea of the real situation In
the copper city. The strike or at
tempted strike of miners Is not backed
by any recognized labor union. but
was evidently conceived by the |. w
w. which proceeded to organize the
So called Metal Mine Workers union
and it is this combination that has
attempted to tie up the mines OF
Butte. The belief prevails in Butte
that back of the so-called union are
agents of Germany who hope to close
down the copper and zinc mines in an
effort to cripple the United States and
her allies in the manufacture of NUM-
lions of war. AS a matter of informa-
ton for the people of this district, the
following report of the strike situa-
ton in Butte is taken from he Ana
conda Standard of a week ago:
Strike of Electricians.
The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Butte, which has jurisdiction over in
dividual locals, last night voted to
accept the report of the grievance
committee which declared the Mon
tana Power company unfair. 1t also
voted on the same motion, said Sec
rotary Dawson, to recognize any ac-
tion taken by the electricians union
as a body, or by committee there
from acting for the union, with the
Silver Bow Employers association re-
lative to a settlement of the strike
The wording Of the resolution led
some to think it was an endorsement
of the strike, which was ordered by
the union before the council had acted
on the report of the grievances COM
mittee.
Do Not Recognize Miners.
The council did not recognize the
metal mine workers union, as COM
mittee from that organization request
ed it to do. Neither did the council
take any vote on the action of the
electricians union In indorsing the
metal mine workers union yesterday
when the electricians pledged support
to the new union.
A committee from the new miners
organization was admitted to the floor
