THE A. F. OF L. AND DEMOCRACY.

There is no institution in this country that
stands higher in it's appreciation of our democratic
ideals than does the American Federation of Labor
Its principles are in accord with our highest con.
captions of the meaning of democracy and it is
ever alert in it's defense Of those rights that tend
toward its perpetuity. It has failed to give
support where democracy has been assailed if in
it's power to do It has championed the oppressed
not only in own land but in all lands, and it
has held out the hand Of friendship and assistance
to those struggling to throw off the yoke of bond
age, be it POLITICAL social Industrial It consti-
utes Of the great forces of our civilization for
human advancement.
Not the least of it's efforts has been displayed
IN seeking to bring to the oppressed of Mexico and
all South American countries the blessings of indus
trial democracy expressed in the organized labor
movement. 1t has had it's influence and it has
inspired struggle that is fast unloosening the
chains OF industrial despotism that have held for
centuries brothers in Central and South
America.
In it's fight for the civil rights of the people Of
Porto Rico it has its efforts crowned with sue
1t aided in the prevention of the disfranchise-
ment OF IS per cent Of it's people, in efforts for SELF
government and it rendered valuable assistance in
defeating national legislation that required prop
erty qualification for the members of the assembly
of that island possession.
It's influence has been exerted for democracy
and its work fully justifes the conclusion of the
great Gladstone that ''Trade unions are the bull
warks of democracy" The American Federation Of
Labor is the highest expression of the trade union
movement.-Exchange.

THE TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.

1t may be thought to many Of our readers,
but an examination of the character of the unions
affiliated with the American Federation of Labor
discloses that this big organization is made up Of
men employed largely in the competitive industries
There exceptions, of course but the general rule
is we have stated it.
AS the power OF monopoly increases the power
of organized labor decreases. Take for example
the condition Of the employees of the Western Union
and the Postal Telegraph companies. The telegraph
trust employs about IS per cent Of the commercial
photographers in the entire country.
Yet in spite of the power Of this trust the Com
merclal Photographers union has more than held
its own. The fact that it has not yet succeeded in
fully and completely organizing the men in these
two big companies has been the cause of unwar-
ranted criticism from members of that union who
fail to appreciate what the Commercial Telegraph
ers' union is up against
+ However, when keep in mind the gigantic
obstacles confronting the officials it is small wonder
that the union is alive at all. No union has been
fought more stubbornly than has this one
And to those who have kept abreast of the situa-
ltion, the Commercial Photographers union has done
q splendid piece of business in compelling the big
commercial telegraph companies to grant increases
IN wages and to remedy conditions which short
lime ago were positively outrageous.
The work Of this pucky organization has not
been In vain. The members of organized labor gen.
erally will never know how much the Commercial
photographers union has done towards creating pub
ic sentiment in favor of government owership Of
photograph and telephone
ltI The pity is that those employed by the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph companies have failed

She lived on the farm at one time
happy, carefree. But the country was
"slow"; the city appealed. Romance
was hungry; fancy painted beauty and
gayety-the city where life was all
laughter and song.
Just a few weeks-gone is the
glamor; gone the music and laughter.
Five, maybe Sc week, is her pay.
She was ''straight' for while; it was
part of her blood. Alone, hungry, dis
J appointed-the odds were too great
and she fell.
She found the world black. Gone
is the citys gay mask; brutal, relent-

to appreciate the sacrifices Of those who have stood
by the union-of the part played by this small band
of mep in bringing about the conditions which those
employees of the telegraph trust now enjoy.
They know what brought about these conditions
We are sorry to state, however, that many of them
decline to contribute their share towards maintain
ing an organization which, not only secured the
improved conditions for them but which is the only
power that guarantee the retention Of what has
already been gained
Many of them prefer to think the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies granted increases
in wages and improved conditions out Of the good
ness of their official hearts,
But the Western Union and the Postal don't do
business that way.

The Jones Bills Again.

Some opposition to the bills intro
duced by Senator Richard Jones Of
Duluth to reduce taxes on buildings
and personal property and increase
them on vacant and poorly used land,
has arisen because it would somewhat
reduce the total assessed valuation,
and make a rate increase necessary.
In Duluth particularly the local rate
is fixed at Is mills and the revenues
would be considerably reduced. OF
course, the local rate could be fh-
creased by amending the charter. :,
Or, the same results could also be
reach by amending the Jones bills 80
an to increase somewhat the valuation
placed on land, rather than to make
the entire change by reducing on
buildings and personal property.
If we should increase all Land so
per cent it would bring about the
same result as reducing the buildings
and personal property so per cent.
The financial result would be the
same.
The only difference would be in the
effect on the minds of the people.
We don't like to talk about increas-
ing taxes. But we do like to talk
about reducing them.
The real kernel of the Jones bills
is to reduce taxes on all labor prod
ucts and increase on all lane values.
This can be done equally well by
either method.
If the interests of any city or vii
lage could better be served by rails
ing lands to so per cent ana leaving
labor products-buildings, ETC., at rs
per cent it would make no difference.
Do it the easiest gay.

STATE AND FEDERAL
AUTHORITIES WILL
FIGHT HOGUHOLERA

| The state livestock sanitary board
and the state veterinarians depart
ment entered into a contract Thurs
day with the government to work CO.
operatively to fight hog cholera this
year In Idaho. BY the terms of the
agreement thes county agricultural
agents and the agricultural extension
department are to do the educational
work and DR.. w. A. Sullivan, chief In
spector IN charge Of hog cholera con-
troll of the bureau of animal indus
try and DR.. Bodle. state veterinarian.
and their assistants, are to do the
field work and make the necessary
tests as well as attend to the vac
cinating. DR.. Sullivan was in the city
today and held conference with
state Veterinarian Bodle.
Because of the facts placed in its
hands the livestock sanitary board
passed resolutions to the effect tuber-
cuiosis Is being passed to hogs from
dairy herds and precautionary steps
were taken to fight the disease, It
has broken out in hogs at Lewiston,
Eagle. Preston and Rigby. The hogs
will be tested and treated.
The last legislature passed q law
authorizing q tax Of one-tenth of a
mill on every dollar Of taxable prop
erty to pay bounty on prairie and
pocket gophers. gray gophers, ground
squirrels. This law went into effect
this week. The bounty money will not
be available until January, 1918. The
board made a ruling that the tails of
the animals would be accepted by the
state veterinarian as proof Of the death
and % their rto<
would be paid. The bounties are two
cents for each animal. No claim, how
ever, for less than 81 will be allowed.
If arrangements can be made proof of
death may be made to defooters of
predatory animals. However, as no
fees are allowed this may be impos-
sible. The defooters get a fee under
the law for defooting predatory ami
mails.
The board elected W. M. winschell
secretary, and adjourned, subject to the
call of the chair. 1t will probably not
meet again until July.

JEALOUSY BETWEEN
THE FATHER AND SON
Known That the Prince Is
Anxious to Ascend the
Throne but the Kaiser Is
Determined Not to Yield
NO Authority in Army.
BY. CARL w. AckERMAN

citation.

M any Americans ask
whether the crown prince is
popular with the German
people, believing that the
hatred and suspicion with
which he is regarded outside
Of Germany is true in the
Fatherland. The crown
prince is not only popular
with the people but his pop
ularity is due to his democ-
racy and to the love which
the German people have for
the crown princess, who is
considered the most beauti-
full woman in Germany.
1t may seem surprising to speak Of the
crown prince as being democratic and
still l have seen him in Berlin at times
when he has won the sympathy of
many persons as he rode through the
streets or walked down Inter den
Linden with his small sons. In jan
uary, shortly before diplomatic rela-
tions, were broken I got a glimpse of
Ills Imperial and Royal Highness on
Inter den Linden. To fully under
stand what the German people mean
when they say that the crown prince
Is democratic one must not forget that
1t is customary for an officer always to
salute in the formal Prussian way
when he is greeted by any one else.
The crown prince, who is lieutenant
general in the army, naturally should
follow this custom. but this is what 1
observed last January.
The crown prince came from the
cathedral and stepped into his racing
type automobile taking the chauf-
furs seat. He put in the front seat
beside him two of his children. The
chauffeur sat in the back seat, The
crown prince started the engine and
drove the machine up Inter den Lin
den through Brandenburge- Thor, to
Bellevue Palace. AS he passed,
groups of soldiers and people on the
sidewalks and in the streets waved and
saluted but the crown prince instead of
returning the formal salute by touch
ing his cap waved his hand or the hand
of one Of his sons to the crowd

pecially when he smiled as they waved

never do this and the times l have

wore very serious expression and re-
turned the greetings of the people by
the most formal military salute as IL
n smile or wave of the hand would
pain him.
