occupy. The grocer adds the whole
sale cost of his goods, his rent, taxes,
insurance, ETC., when he fixes the
prices on his goods. The clothing

who sells you anything does the
same.
Then don't say you don't pay taxes.
You pay the taxes on the house you
rent as long as you live in it.
Then, after all this, you sit supine-
ly by, neglecting the plain duties of
citizenship, and allow burdens to be
placed upon your shoulders-allow
yourselves to be disfranchised-and

Kick against high taxes, for you

WHO PAYS TAXES?

1t is in the interest of labor to op-
pose increased taxes and to favor
reduced taxes.
When the question of taxation is
under discussion you sometimes hear
workingman say, "What do I care
how high the taxes are, l don't pay
any,"
There are men and women even in
this enlightened age who cannot
realize that they pay taxes because
they are levied indirectly.
You pay taxes when you pay rent
buy clothing, food, or anything else
Those workers who receive the
smallest wages for their labor pay
the highest taxes proportionately.
You can easily figure this out
when you consider that the landlord
adds his taxes, insurance, ETC., when

MOONEY CONVICTED

Tom Mooney was convicted of muir
der in the first degree. There are
three others who will probably be con-
victed for the alleged commission of
the same crime. The wealth and
power of the United Railroads and
the Chamber of Commerce of San
Francisco are backing the prosecution.
The majority of their witnesses
were taken from the dregs of society.
1t is openly charged and generally
believed in San Francisco that much
of the States testimony was pur-
chased and that the prosecution hid
or spirited away good witnesses for
the defense?
Can these things be?
The first witness for the prosecu-
ton testified that the explosion of
the bomb which killed ten persons &C.
Cured in midair. The next day after
the attorneys for the prosecution
handled" him he "backed up" he
revised" his testimony.
When the history of these trials is
read the wonder of the reader will be
that such things can take place in
America.

of industrial problems enveloping
John Pierpont Morgan, Jr. to the I'M
comfortable knowledge of them pene-
trating the young sweatshop mother,
Mary Minora,-all is coved in these
volumes recording the inquiries and
work of the Commission. No brief
or reasonably lengthy review of this
vital document could enumerate it's
disclosures even in dictionary fashion.
The hearings there recorded, and
made living presentation of Amer
lean industrial life, were held in the
following cities: Washington, New
York, Paterson, Philadelphia, Boston,
Chicago, Lead Is. Dak) Butte, Seat
tie, Portland, San Francisco, Los An
geles, Denver and Dallas. Of wit
nesses affiliated with employers there
were 230, of those affiliated with la
Dor there were 245; and "the general
public" was representated by 265 wit
nesses.
In response to a tremendous demand
of libraries, publicists, writer's, work
ers and labor organizations, agricul-
tural groups and citizens generally
and from the press in all parts of
the country, Congress, without a re-
corded dissenting vote, authorized the
printing and distribution of these
eleven volumes of testimony and ex-
hibits and also of the final report of
the Commission. But the resolution
for printing provided for only 10000
sets of the testimony, all allotted
among members of the House and
Senate, each Senator getting only 25
sets and each Representative only 16.
This supply does not at all meet the
demand. A great pressure is already
bearing upon Congress to get out
new and larger edition both of the
testimony and of the final report.
These later editions, which would be
printed from the plates already set
up, would cost a comparatively in
significant sum.

LESSON FROM
ROBERT BURNS

The birthday of Robert Burns oc-
Cured on January rs, and many ad-
mirers of the poet did honor to his
memory on that occasion. This makes
it fitting to reproduce a lesson from
his life, which Helen Keim has pre-
scented in The Public, of New York
City.
The story of the AYRSHIRE Plow-
man is gripping enough to be we'll
known. His skimped existence as a
peasant farmers son, his unavailing
struggle to rise above drudgery that
yielded but an insufficient pittance,
his constant labor to provide for his
own family, and finally, spirit and
body broken, his passing away in
what should have been the prime of
his manhood is the bleak out
line of Burns life. His genius, flash
ing meteor-like, would have glowed
for many more years, if it had not
been suppressed by the unnatural law
of poverty. And after he was gone,
each man blamed his richer neigh
Dor because he had not lightened the
burden so that the great poet might
have lived and sung on.
Yet, Burns would have refused
charity. Keener visioned than his
compatriots, he sighted the canker in
the social system, altho he did not,
perhaps, perceive its remedy. Re-
ferring to farmer, a mutual ac-
quaintance of himself and Mrs. Dun
lop, he wrote to her September "a,
1892:
Il cannot say that l give him joy
of his life as a farmer. IT'S, as a
farmer paying a dear, unconscionable
rent, cursed life! AS to a laird
farming his own property, sowing
his own corn in hope, and reaping it
in spite Of brittle weather, in glad
ness; knowing that none can say
unto him, "What dost thou?" Fat
tening his herds, shearing his flocks;
It's heavenly life! but Devil
take the life of reaping the fruits
that another must eat"
Today over a century later, we are
still trying to gloss over poverty by
charity, instead of removing it's cause
and dragging it out by the roots.
Each man, laying the blame upon his
richer brother, soothes his conscience,
and poverty continues to thrive.

HANGING is TOO EASY

A few members of the Legislature,
excited and enraged at the assassina-
ton of Industrial Insurance Commits
sioner Olson, cry out for revenge and
demand the restoration of capital
punishment, abolished in this state in
1913. That would make the punish
ment easier on the murderer. Life
long Imprisonment is infinitely worse
than death. 1t does not take a very
vivid imagination to grasp that.
The widow and sister of Mr.. Olson
thus expressed themselves on this
subject:
Mrs. Olson said:
81 hope the Legislature will not
pass the bill restoring the death pen
atty!
Death is too good for the man who
killed my husband!
"He should be made to suffer as
have suffered"
Miss Olson, after expressing herself
on the subject, said further:
HE was my brother-he was al
ways opposed to the death penalty.
Not long before his death, I remem-
Der hearing him tell friend of his,
an attorney, how glad he was that
capital punishment had been abolish
ed, and how he hoped that capital
punishment would never come back in
this state!"

COMPULSORY SERVICE
BILL is INTRODUCED

The preparedness proposition of
universal military training last Sat-
urday took shape in the U. S. Senate
in the introduction of a bill by the
Senate military committee, the pro-
visions of which are epitomized as
follows:
The bill, as submitted to the Sem
ate, is said to be not unlike the meas
ure being prepared by a group of
general staff officers under direction
of Major Gen. Scott, which will be
presented to the president and after
wards probably used by the house
military committee.
The Chamberlain bill provides that
no person shall be compelled to un-
dergo the six months training after
reaching the age of 26.
Those exempt from military service
are members of permanent military
and naval forces of the U. S., those
physically unfit for naval or military
service, persons on whose earnings a
father, mother, brother, sister, wife
or child is wholly dependent for sup
port.
Re-examine Physically Weak
Those exempt because of physical
disability and the dependency clause
are subject to re-examination at per-
iods to be fixed by regulation.
The bill provides that members of
religious sects whose orders forbid
members to bear arms in war shall
be trained in non-combatant branches
of the military or naval service; per-
sons convicted of felonies are to be
trained in special units. Credit of one
month is to be given any person who
has completed course in military
or naval instruction, approved by the
secretary of war or the secretary of
the navy, these credits to be applied
to the training period only.
Train or Lose Jobs
Certificates are to be issued to
those exempted and to those complet-
ing the training course.
Employment of persons up to the
age of 26 without these certificates
is prohibited.
At the time of registering for
training, applicants are permitted to
state in which branch of the naval or
military service they wish to be train
ed. In emergencies, the president
can again assign proportion of re-
cruits as he sees fit to either the nav
al or military branch.
The reserves are to be called out
by the president only in case of de-
fensive war or Imminent danger of
defensive war"
No Strike Duty
The reserves are not to be used in
| case of strikes or other industrial
disputes. Regular army and navy
officers are to act as instructors in
training camps.
Employers are prohibited from dis
charging or reducing the wages of
employees required to enter the train
ing camps.
The bill also provides that no in
toxicating spurious liquors shall be
sold to any member of the military
or the navy forces of the u. S. while
in uniform.

Gladstone. Would you aid in destroy
ing these bulwarks?
A. J. Allen assumed charge of the
yard as foreman.
Mr.. Donohoe suspended work in
the yard last Monday in honor of the
memory of Abraham Lincoln. Give
this thought. Abraham Lincoln be-
lieved in and advocated the right of
workingmen to organize for the bet
terment of their working conditions
and wages, and thanked God that
they had the right to strike to en-
force them.

OPEN SHOP SHIPYARD

saturday AFTERNOON dtIlCh u DOi-
oboe called together the prospective
employees of the Washington Over
seas Marine Construction Company
and impaired to them information re-
lating to the manner in which he
would conduct the industry.
He said the yard would be run on
the open shop plan and that men
would be called to work according
to the numbers allotted them. These
numbers will be published in the
daily press.
An employee will be selected accord
ing to his ability, the seekers of
situations were told, with the open
shop principle advocated as a meth
cd of securing practical and efficient
workmen."
Then why the numbers printed in
the daily press?
Will the numbers be allotted to
these workers harum- scarum, or will
their efficiency first be tested? Then
if a man secure a job and another
man comes along with a larger bunch
of efficiency" will the man with a
job become jobless and the man with
'big bunch of efficiency" become
jobful?
That's about the way the open shop
principle" is worked. Every free
born American citizen who has a right
to seek work wherever he can get it
will like this.
For the benefit Of the job seekers
are here printed few paragraphs
from Paul Schassenberg's speech on
the open shop:
even the beasts of the field in the
hour of danger learn the value of
sticking together"
"The open shop protects the work
ingman in his constitutional right to
remain defenseless in the face of those
who would exploit him"
"The open shop is an attempt to
maintain a disorganized element in
the midst of society all the other
elements of which are fully organ
lied"
"The organized employer would bar
gain with the unorganized individual
workingman. Even a child could tell
who would get the better of such
bargain"
Law and order would not be al
together in the safest place if left in
those hands alone, and when they
speak of the open shop they mean
nothing but the closed shop-closed
to unions and to collective bargain
ing between employer and employee"
The idea exploiters of labor have
that free American citizen has the
right to seek work when and where
he pleases sounds good. 1t sounds
just as good to say that the free Am
erican citizen has the right to select
what men he pleases to fill the pub
lie offices. He may have the right
DuL ne must eHLOiNe II toliCCLLNSlJ
He cannot do it alone. He has 3
right to say upon what conditions he
works, but if he works for a corpora
ton or firm he cannot exercise tina
right without the cooperation of hi
fellow workers. Unless the workers
organize for collective bargaining
they have no bargaining at all. Thu
employers give them what they wisl
and no more. There is no bargain, fol
it takes two to make bargain.
The will of the people in all democ
racies is expressed and enforced col
lectively or not at all. Trade union:
are organized upon this principle.
Trades Unions are the bulwarks
of modern democracies. William f

A Loaf of Bread - By
Katherine Anne Swift

Dear Juniors:
thought would write school
composition Of loaf of bread.
It was warm spring morning. The
sun was shining brightly and the birds
were singing. Farmer Brown had got
up early, hitched the colt and bay
Dick to the plow and plowed the
ground where the wheat was to be
sowed. Then It was narrowed and
sowed. Tho sun warmed the wheat
and the rain moistened 1t, and It grew
and was soon ripe. Then the reaper
reaped the wheat and the sheaves
were stacked and then 1t was threshed
and became fifty stacks OF bright
golden wheat
Then it was carried to the mill and
the jolly faced miller ground 1t into
nice, white flour. 1t was then put in
barrels and sacks. And one day put
in cars and sent to large city. A
merchant bought the flour and put 1t
into his store. It stayed there a few
days and one day boy came IN for
sack of flour. He took 1t home. The
cook. Mary, who was very fond OF
bread, took some flour, milk, water,
salt, and yeast, kneaded the bread,
and left it over night to raise In the
morning she made six plump loaves
of nice, wholesome bread.

Venezuela

Dear Juniors:
This is my first story. am writing
on Venezuela.
The name Venezuela means Little
Venice" and WAS given the country
when first explored In 1890. The VI
lagos Of Indians were built on pilea
and posts in the water along thu
shores of lakes. A large part d
Venezuela is broad plains OF th4
Orinoco valley. Some Of these plains
are treeiess and are called llamas.
In parts Of Venezuela are forests
which produce valuable dye.woods and
rubber. Among the mountains are
found rich mineral deposits, most a
which are gold
There is some agriculture, Mn
potatoes, beans and barley, which srp
raised at heights Of eight thousand
feet above sea level. Below fiva thou
sand feet are found tropical products,
such as sugar cane. bananas, Good
and coffee.
It is bounded on the north by tho
Caribbean sea, on the east by British
Guiana, on the south by Brazil, on
the west by Colombia.

A Rible CHAPTER, the First
One Mabel Learned

Dear Juniors
This is the first letter I have writ
ten, and so I will enjoy reading it ir
the Junior page. And this is the first
chapter I ever learned, and it is the
Twenty-third Psalm.
The Lord is my shepherd,
] shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in greer
pastures.
He leadeth me beside. the still
waters.
He restoreth> my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths OF
righteousness for his names sake.
Yea, though I walk through the val
ley of the shadow of death, I will fear
no evil, for thou art with me.
Thy rod and thy staff they com
fort me.
Thou preparest table before me in
the presence of mine enemies.
Thou anointest my head with oil.
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days Of my life. and
/ will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
