SnOhomsh County Socialists, Attention.
ORGANIZATION RALLY
Sunday Jan. IA at the Forum--Be There!
FARMERS FOOLED

Outlook Wash, Dec. Il, 1916.
Editor Northwest Worker:
At many times in the past, the
money question has been one which
has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton. Such political parties as the
Greenback and Peoples parties made
it one Of their chief issues, and gain
ed some success by electing members
to Congress and other public offices.
On every occasion when said parties
got large enough to be a menace to
the power that be, they managed to
sidetrack the main issue for some
minor question, and by getting the
consent Of some of the leaders to
accept "haf loaf" were enabled to
disrupt said parties and in the time
destroy them.
The money question for all that is a
great one The Socialist platform is
the only one Of all the present poll
tcal parties which advocates the
true remedy to overthrow usury and
the power of the banker. Read that
plank in the National platform, and
if you wish to fully understand the
various steps by which the bankers
have obtained that power, you can
read of them in "The Conspiracy Of
the House Of Morgan" written by
Comrade II. l. Locke Of WATERFOWL
S. D., price SOC paper cover The
hypocracy Of the leaders of the old
parties and their betrayal Of the peo-
pie in the Federal Reserve Bank Act,
and the Rural Credits Act is fully
shown. History repeats itself and we
find Grange leaders opposing the
only party whose platform on the
questions are like the Grange resolu-
tions on the subject and leading their
followers into the Democratic camp
after a fake so-calIed Rural Credits
Act. In 1896 the Farmers Alliance
plans on the money question were
betrayed by the free silver move
ment lead by Bryan, and we then saw
leading Populists and Farmers Al
lance men conserving to the so-called
"half-loaf." The result was we never
got even the "half-loaf."
It. is not my intention at this time
| to enter into a discussion Of the mon
ey question which is an important
part Of the economic question. Should
anXsne desire to be fully informed on
the question l recommend Comrade
Loucks book
No doubt, many Comrades, who
like myself, lived in South Dakota at
one time, remember Comrade Loucke
as the President Of the State and Ma
tional Farmers Alliance, and the
Peoples party candidate for Governor
in 1890. He is deep student of
economic questions.
Fraternally,
WALTER PRICE.

The Supreme Court has confirmed
the Jail sentence of six months i'm
posed upon Comrade Paul R. Haffer
by a Pierce county court. Comrade
Haffer's crime" consists in having
had some historic facts regarding
George Washington, published in the
Tacoma Daily Tribune. 1t seems
rather dangerous to publish the truth,
especially if the person written about
has been dead for several genera
lions.

CANYON County

is going to have permanent county
organizer. They are securing pledges
from members in the county, to pay
$500 each in monthly installments of
oOc or more for the support of same.
Their plan is to keep a man at work
among the locals and members, sell
ing literature, collecting dues and
writing up new members. They are
planning to secure a horse and buggy
Tor the purpose, SO that he will be
able to cover and recover the county.

has been allowed in the mails as sec
ond class matter, and is now an es-
tablished paper. We are doing our
best to make it what its name i'm
plies, a Party Builder" and hope
that it will fulfill its mission. 1t is
not designed to be made a newspaper,
but to convey the business of the or
ganization and ideas of organization
to the members. We want to get it
into the hands of every party mem
Der so that if they are unable to at
tend the local meetings they will
know what is going on in the state,
anyway. We want it to contain the
news of the organization as well, but
will have to rely on the members to
give it to US. Some one has suggest
ed that we make it propaganda pa
per but that will not serve us as we'll
as it will in its present form. 1t has
been my idea to devise a means of
dealing directly with the individual
members of the locals, and this is the
outcome. What | am now trying to
do is to get the members on the sub.
list. If you have not sent in the
names of the local members on the
sub. blanks sent you, want to ask
you to please do so.

Dues Stamp Receipts at State office
For 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916.

Total for 1913, $5,96l.80; average

Since the due stamp receipts indi-

forward and ought to, and no doubt
will, inspire all comrades to greater
efforts during the year 1917.

WORK WITH STORE.
Cooperation Between Topeka
Schools and Business.
Students Working in After
moons to Learn Trades.
FARM OUT PUPILS NEXT YEAR
All Will Be Encouraged to En-
ter Commercial Activities.
Leslie NJ. Partridge Has the
New Courses in Charge.

The latest innovation in commercial
courses in public schools has been an
nounced by Leslie NJ. Partridge, head
of the commercial department of the
Topeka high school. A plan for com
plete cooperation between the school
and the business houses of the city has
been perfected and students are now
working each afternoon at, the various
lines in the different stores of town.
Each student has been required to
do so much outside" work in the past
and this usually took the form of book
problems. Now, according to this
plan, this outside work will be actual
practice under the strict supervision
of seasoned business man. Three
members of the bookkeeping class
have been working out for the last
month. A student works each after
noon for two weeks and then returns
to the class for the same time, allow
ing another student to take his or her
place on the high stool of the book
keeper.
Craftsmanship has also received en-
enlargement from the business men.
Ten boys have started in business
houses, working each afternoon for
training. In two cases the school
training has proved so thoro that the
merchants are willing to pay the stu
dent to work Saturdays. And then at
the end of his schooling. a position as
salesman is open to him in the store
in which he served his apprentice
ship"
Another branch of the new plan of
cooperation is the lecture course be-
ing given by the business men of the
city. Three lectures have been given
already and the last one is scheduled
for next Wednesday afternoon at 1880
O'Clock. Mr.. George NJ. Hart, of the
Remington Typewriter company will
talk. Pelletier's, Crosby Brothers nd
Warren M Crosby have all contrib
uted to the course.
EARNED Out for Training.
Next year, according to Mr. Part
| ridge, students in stenography and
shorthand will be Harmed out" for
| training. If the business houses and
men continue to cooperate as they
say they will the plan will be more
| than a success. At the opening class
of next fairs schooling. plans will be
| broadened and will permit nearly ev-
| cry student to do actual commercial
| work.
A course in rapid calculation will
! be added to the present curriculum of
the department. Most complaints OF
| the students have been along the line
of mathematics. They have been I'M
able to handle figures rapidly and a:
the same time accurately. This course
will be open to the more advanced
students.
To make this plan a success and to
eliminate the younger pupils from the
actual practice, the course has been
changed. Only seniors will be allow
ed to enroll in the finishing courses of
| the commercial department III addi-
| ton to raising the standard of the
pupils work this plan will see the
students in perfect trim to fill a posi-
| ton in any office. They will be stall
on no branch of the work as they
are now, securing a position two year
after having completed the course of
study.
