FARMERS IN FAVOR
OF GRAIN MEASURE
STATE INSPECTION FAVORED,
SAYS EARNHART If FAIR
BILL is DRAFTED.

Eastern oregon farmers will be af-
fected by proposed legislation at Sa
lem with reference to state grading
of wheat Stories from Salem indi-
cate that several bills have been in
trodueed or will be introduced
According to r o. Earnhart, one
of the Farmers Union representatives
at the grain conference recently held
at Corvallis. the subject of grain in
spection was discussed favorably at
Corvallis and also at a meeting at Nc
Minnville He Is of the belief that the
farmers will generally favor a state
grain standard bill provided the bill
is drafted in fairness to the growers
The following story from the Port
land Journal deals with a bill to be
introduced on this subject.
The bill creating an Oregon grain
standard will be introduced in the
Legislature within a week according
to reports Of the plans of a commit
tee from the northwest grain confer
ence recently held at oregon Agricul-
tural college This is the measure
which the grain growers will advo-
cate. particularly those east of the
Cascade mountains. who say that as
long as Washington has grain stand
ard law and a board to arbitrate diff
ferences between growers and ship
pers and buyers. it Is more to their
advantage to sell through Seattle
than Portland which recognizes only
the grain tandards formulated by the
bureau of the chamber of commerce
whose members are almost exclusive
ly buyers. When differences arise
between growers or shippers in Port
land there is no appeal.
It is probable that the bill will pro-
vide for grain standard based on
weight as well as measure. Wheat
weighing IS pounds to the bushel Is
now graded as No, l. wheat weighing
56 pounds Is graded as No. 2. But II
wheat received here weighs 6l or 62
pounds to the bushel 1t brings no
premium whereas if it weighs at all
under 5s pounds the grower or ship
per is docked Afterwards, It is said,
the extra heavy wheat for which no
premium was paid, can skilfully be
blended with light wheat and the re-
sulting combination sold as No /.

THE STRUGGLE FOR
INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM

The history of human society is
the history of long, continuous
struggle between classes. All the
epochs in the course of societys
development marks the revolts of
the oppressed against their oppres-
sors.
The struggle still continues on
larger and more intensified scale.
1t is no longer a struggle for po-
litical freedom and against divine
rule. 1t is a universal struggle for
industrial freedom. 1t is struggle
of one class who is producing the
worlds wealth against the other
class, who owns and controls the
means of production. This tremen-
dous struggle will continue until uni
versal industrial freedom has been
achieved, where every man, woman
and child viii have an equal oppor-
tuuiS to produce and enjoy the
worlds Spokane Socialist.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE
WAR
The Workers Will Pay,
Unless

"Mr. Bonar Laws contribution TO
the intermittent discussion on the
cost of the war brings TO mind once
more the vital question as to what
section of the people is going to pay
for the bowling hell of destruction
that is going on in Flanders, in
Italy, in Mesopotamia, and in many
other countries not usually thought
of as being in the firing line
namely, such as Great Britain, where
some millions of people are busy
manufacturing waste. Admitted that
it is evident this waste and de-
struction must go on until the spirit
that caused it is broken, yet there
is no reason why we should become
so obsessed with its "beauty" as to
be Never Endians, nor that we
should try to devise some means by
which the cost shall be apportioned
in strict equity amongst those best
able to bear it. In any such con-
sderation we should not attempt to
rule out the working classes from
their just proportions; nor should we
attempt to exempt any other class,
even the most wealthy. Yet it is
precisely because the latter class will
not only escape bearing their share
of the burden under the arrange
ments now in vogue, but will even
become richer as a direct result of
the war having happened, that we
must give our serious attention to
the methods of our present finan-
ciers. The workers will pay all the
cost if the established methods
are permitted to continue.
More money must be raised, and
"The Economist" says that the terms
now offered by the Government
would have seemed "an impossibly
beautiful dream" twenty years ago.
A beautiful dream" says our fl
ancial expert. 1t is well to take
note of this phrase. 1t shows
unconsciously how the wealthy peo-
pie who lend the money for war
purposes habitually view the whole
matter. To them it is question
of a good investment! They are
going to get something out of the
war. Something beautiful so
hos ftt1 fn hn Ir.r,
want you to remember, as CON
trast, that it will be the worker
who will pay for the beautiful dream
| if he does not decide to demand
Transcription of Wealth." just as
we had CONSUMPTION of men.
Yes, the Workers Will Pay, I'M
less we take the right step and de-
mand the Consumption of Wealth. -
