BOLSHEVIST MINORITY

The bolshevists in this country are
small in number but loud in their
methods. BY causing dissatisfaction
and strife among the workmen, they
make a living and hope to create ma
terial fertile for revolution. A man
employed steadily at good wages is
hopeless as bolsheviki material, but
if he can be goaded to strike over
some fancied grievance, if he is job
less and his family suffering, then he
is plant in the hands of the anarchist.
The western coast has a group OF
foreign born bolshevists who pose as
labor leaders, and who pretend to be
working for the good of the working
man. They twisted the Mooney case
to suit their ends, fooling the work
ingmen into believing that it was an
issue between capital and labor; they
used the Macy award as a goad in
their vicious efforts to plunge this
country into the wreck and ruin of
Russia
Organized labor is being led straight
to ruin by these foreigners, who will
not be satisfied until thousands of
striking and jobless men are roaming
the country. There is question of
Just how much rope these red radicals
should be allowed Organized labor
should throw them out.

Citizens of the United States en-
terrain rightful suspicion toward
those who come here from other coun-
tries to enjoy the benefit of these
shores, yet refuse to become citizens.
1t is thru such men that the radical
propaganda of other countries is
spread. Alien residents who refuse
to become citizens, but who are proved
guilty of spreading propaganda harm
full to this country should be deported.

FIGURING FARM PROFITS

The annual inventory of capital in
vested in the farm business is one of
the most important records on any
farm. The failure to take annual in
ventories has cost Washington far
mers thousands of dollars. Annual in
ventory is necessary to ascertain farm
profits, and therefore the federal in
come tax cannot be accurately figured
without it.
A farm inventory is not necessarily
hard to take 1t is simple statements
of the value of real estate, livestock,
machinery, crops on hand for sale,
feed, or seed, and seasonable work
done, at the beginning and end of the
farm year. Most farmers keep some
record of cash receipts and expenses,
but unless inventories are taken the
profits of farming can not be accu-
rately figured. Money in the bank at
the end of the year is not an indi-
cation of farm profits. Only by TAX
ing careful "stock" of what is on
hand at the beginning and end of the
year, can the profits be accurately
determined. Can any business far
mer be content to invest his money,
time, labor and managing ability, and
not know what he makes during the
farm year from his investment? The
farm account book now being printed
by the extension service contains
forms that make the taking of annual
inventories, figuring farm incomes
and federal income tax simple mat
ter.
