Wants Cotton Picked Eariy.-Cotton
producers throughout tho cotton belt
are urged by the bureau Of markets of
the United States department Of agri-
culture to pick their cotton as early
ard as clean as possible. under existing
labor conditions. and to protect It
properly from the weather aftor IL is
picked. This is in order that there may
be no larger portion Of low-grade cot
ton than absolutely necessary. Gin
ners are clso Urged to gin cotton as ef-
fcienty as possible. using cleaning de-
vices when desirable.
Cotton picLed late, says a statement
by the bureau, in all probability will
encounter rainy and damp weather and
frost, which causes spotted, off-color,
and low-grade cotton and often weak
ems the staple. There Is q scarcity of
high h-grade cotton and q great demand
for It.

LABOR AND TAXATION.

All taxes, direct or indirect. are paid out of the products of labor. but the working class are little ih- terested in the specific ques;irh Of taxation on that account.
 The question of taxation. in'lud- ing the tariff. is distinctiveiy an !s- sue between the warning elements of the ruling class the capitalists. big and little, and they should be left to fight it out among iheni- selves.
 The workers are very eas'!, de- ceived for the reason that but few of them study economic and Gcliti- cal questions aud do their own thinking. For years-and even yet thousands of workers are deceiv ed and humbugged by the protec- tive tariff, heralded by the vote seeking politicians as the great al only invention to protect Americen free born citizens against the apu- per ldDOT OL NV A~" star-spangled banner tackasses.
 It is not through taxation that the workers are robbed but through exploitation. Whether taxes arc high or low is of little consequence to them. Their wages barely cover their living expenses and as rule they have no property to assess.
 It is when they receive their pa! on Saturday night that they art robbed of all they produce abov' their cost of living and this IS thu fact that they must clearly fix il their minds instead of allowing themselves to be muddled by thu office-hunting politicians with theil slush and harangue about tariff anC taxation.
 When the boss hands the slav' his pay at the end of the weel that pay covers only a small par of the wealth he produced, thu boss keeping the bigger share fo himself, and that's where the rob bery takes place and that's Whe!r it has to be attacked and put al end to.
 It is the wage system that mus be destroyed by the united econom ic and political action of tn workers, and the capitalists retire' from participation in industry b. appropriating to their idle and use less selves the wealth produced il the sweat of the slaves.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-01-08
LIFE AND PROPERTY.

With all our boasted civilization and all our progress in the arts and sciences human life is till second- ary in consideration to property. Every government on earth today IS organized and maintained primar- fly for the protection of property.
 Property rights have priority in every civilized nation. If there is a clash between capital and labor the courts use tl.eir powers to pro feet capital and to keep labor in chains; if the soldiers are called out it is for the same purpose. WCrkingmen are frequently shot down in a strike because the inter- cs:s of property are threatened,
 Thomas Jefferson once wrote.
 "The freedom and happiness of man arc the sole objects of all legi- timate government.
 There is not today, under the Jefiersonian standard, legitimate government on earth. Property rights are almost the sole object oi all the civilized governments ill the world The dollar owners and the property possessors relatively few ill number, control tho gov ernment and under their control it functions chiefly in the protec- ton of their vested rights"
 As for the freedom and happiness of man, mere workingman, that is no concern of capitalist gov erament; it's concern is that ht shall find freedom and happiness: in producing wealth and comfor and luxury for his master.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-01-08
WORKERS WILL WAKE UP.

Notwithstanding the effect which
 improved intelligence in the work ing classes, together with just laws. may have in altering the distribu- tion of the produce to their advant- age, I can not think 1t probable that they will! be permanently con tented with the condition of labor ing for wages as their ultimate stact. To work at the bidding and for the profit of another, without any interest in the work--the price of their labor being adjusted by hostile competition, one side de- manding as much and the other paying as little as possible-is not, even when wages are high, a satis- factory state to human beings of educated intelligence, who have ceased to think themselves natur- ally inferior to those whom they serve. They may be willing to pass
 through the class of servants on their way to that of employers; but ! not to remain in it all their lives.
