BELGIAN MINISTER
ROYALTY RECEIVED

Montevideo.-Pres Viera's re-
ception OF the new Belgian minister
was made the occasiC~~ for new
demonstration OF Uruguay's senti-
ments toward the entente allies, and
more especially toward Belgium.
President Viera, in receiving the
minister, said:
Belgium, the martyr country,
with her smoking cities, her wealth
destroyed, and her men and women
enslaved, constitutes the greatest
affront which has ever been offered
to the world. Her cause is the
cause of justice and OF humanity.
To honor her and to love her, there
lore, ought to be imperative duties
for all good men and for all noble
peoples. Hence. ii is that Uruguay
has received the Belgian deputies
who have recently visited us on
mission from your government,
with spontaneous manifestations of
sympathy Hence 1t is that Uru-
quay has taken the side Of your
country Hence, it is that her fate
interests us so deeply and that we
have such faith in it. Therefore.
you may be absolutely assured that
everything here is propitious-sen-
timents and interests-for the ever
more fraternal relations between

LIMIT PROFIT OF
RUSSIAN FACTORY
OWNERS ARE LAWS

New York.-Profits of Russian
factory owners are to be limited
to five or six per cent on their in
vestment and the manufacturers
are to be required to reinvest a
quarter of their profits, under the
Bolsheviki economic plan as out
lined by Leon Trotzky, now Rus
sian minister of war and marine, in
an interview with Prof. +. A. Ross
of the University of Wisconsin.
Professor Rose was sent to Rus
STA by the American Institute OF
Social Service to study the social
conditions of that country and has
reported his conclusions to the in
stitute The Bolshevik revolution
took place while Professor Ross was
in Russia Trotzky was foreign
minister when he explained the
Bolsheyik economic program.
is 1t the intention of your party
to dispOsess the owners of indus
trial plants in Russian" Professor
Ross asked him.
No" Trotzky replied. We are
hot ready yet to take over all in
dustrv. That will come in time,
hut no one can say how soon. For
the present, we eXpCA- out of the
earnings of a factory to pay tta
owner or 6 per cent yearly on his
actual investment What we aim
at now is control rather than own
ership."
What do you mean by control?"
q mean that we will see to it
that the factory is run not from the
point of view of private profit but
from the point of view of social
welfare democratically conceived.
For example, we will not allow the
capitalist to shut up his factory in
order to starve his workmen into
submissiveness or because it is not
yielding him profit. If it is turn
ing out economically a needed prod
ust, it must be kept running. If
the capitalist abandons it he viii
lose it altogether for board of di-
rectors chosen by the workmen will
be put in charge.
Again cont tJl' implies that the
books and correspondence of the
concern will be open to the public
sc that henceforth there will be no
industrial secrets
DO you propose that the profits
carried by concern shall be di-
vided among its workers." asked
the professor

ing is a bourgeois notion. The
workers in a mill will be paid ade-
auate wages. All the profits earned
will belong to society. 1t is only
pure profit that would be divided.
Where will the money come from
that will build new factories"
We can impose on the capitalist
to whom we allow a dividend OF
FIVE or six per cent on his capital
the obligation to reinvest in some
industry a part-say % per cent OF
what he receives.
IF in Russia you hold the CAPT.
talists down to five or six per cent
while in other countries they can
hope for twice or thrice as much
return. won't Russia be stripped OF
capital?'
"They won't be allowed to re-
move their capital from Russia at
will" said Trotzky significantly.
Il submitted this Bolshevik pro-
gram to various Russian econom-
lists and all agreed that the Rus
sian workmen are too ignorant and
short sighted to conform to the
sound principles which may be
held by their leaders," added Pro-
fessor Ross. Conscious of being
masters of the industrial proper
ties, they will not submit them
selves to indispensable discipline.
They will not follow the counsel o.
technical men and they will eat up
the capital so that before the fac
tories have been long in their hands
IL will be impossible to keep them
going"

POSTPONE MEET
OF IDAHO EDITORS
DATES FOR ASSOCIATION MEET.
ING IN MOSCOW CHANGED TO
MARCH 15 AND 16

The dates for holding the meeting
OF publishers of northern Idaho in
Moscow has been changed from March
8 and to March Is and Is. This
change is made for two reasons.
Edgar B. Piper, editor of the Oregon
ian, who is to be one of the principal
speakers, can not come on the first
named dates.
The greater reason is the meeting
of the American Press association at
Spokane on March IA and many of
the editors will desire to attend that
and can come direct from that meet
ing to Moscow Some of the leading
newspaper men of the United States
will be in attendance at the Spokane
meeting and it is desired to have
them attend the meeting at Moscow.
By postponing the date it is be-
lieved that the attendance will be in
creased and that the meeting to be
held here will be one of the largest
meetings of editors ever held in the
Inland Empire.

GERMAN PRIZE
SHIP WRECKED
NEAR SWEDEN
SPANISH STEAMER CAPTURED BY
GERMANS AND USED AS
RAIDER is LOST
TWO AMERICANS ABOARD
SOME PRISONER HAD BEEN ON
THE SHIP FOR EIGHT MONTHS
In PACIFIC

COPENHAGEN-The Spanish steam
prize crew from the Pacific ocean on
board, is ashore near Skaaw light
house.
Two of the prisoners are American.
The prisoners on board were taken
from six ships which were sunk.
Several prisoners aboard the ves-
sci have been held for eight months
while the ship cruised in the Pacific
ocean.
Twenty-Five persons, including nine
women and two children and two AM
ericans were landed by life boats from
Skaaw.
The wreck of this vessel which was
undoubtedly trying to make German
port, may account for the mysterious
disappearance of many ships that have
been lost in the Pacific ocean. From
time to time reports of a mysterious
commerce raider at various points in
the Pacific have been made by ocean
going vessels.
A short time ago a ship from Hon.
olulu to San Francisco reported be-
ing chased for many niles by what
was believed to be a hostile commerce
raider. When darkness fell all lights
on the American ship were extinguish-
ed and the ship changed her course.
When daylight came again nothing
was seen Of the mysterious ship.
That the Germans captured this
Spanish ship and placed a prize crew
aboard her more than eight months
ago, is evident from the meagre de-
tails received. The prize crew has
evidently been cruising about and de-
neutral vessels whenever OPP
portunity offered.

PLANNING DEFEAT
OF La TOILETTE
OF FIFTH WASH.
INGTON DISTRICT TO HOLD
A CONVENTION s

A meeting of number of leading
republicans of the Fifth Washington
congressional district was held in
Walla Walla last night for the pur-
pose of taking steps to eliminate some
of the numerous candidates for the
republican nomination for congress
in order that w. l.. La Toilette of Pull
man, may be defeated at the primar-
les.
The prospects were that there would
be eight or nine candidates for the
republican nomination for congress-
man in that district and, as one prom
inent republican who had been urged
to enter the race, put it: "My entry
would divide the opposition to La Fol-
lette into nine, instead of eight parts,
and make his nomination certainty"
It was for the purpose of eliminating
some of these candidates and secur-
the nomination of a man in sympathy
with the war policies of the United
States that the meeting in Walla Wal
la was held yesterday.
It was planned to hold convention
of republicans at Pasco on April 2
to decide upon a candidate who will
receive the Endorsement of this con-
vention and enter the primary cleo
ton with this Endorsement as his
claim for the nomination The basis
of representation to the convention
will be one delegate for each 500 votes
or major portion thereof cast for
Hughes in 1915 in each of the coun-
ties composing the district. The plan
for selecting these delegates is now
being worked out.
The Fifth district is largely re-
publican and it was felt that unless
some such action was taken that La
Toilette would secure the nomination
and democrat would be elected from
that district.

Bryan, chairman of the state council
of defense who is in the city, will call
for all the energy and all the patriotic
devotion of all the people. The state
and county councils of defense are be-

each day and they will give the most
earnest and undivided support to the
state committee and the United States
treasury in raising Idaho's quota
"It is not yet known what that
quota will be but it will be large. Our
public undertakings as well as our
private plans must be modified and ad-
justed to meet the new conditions.
The greater part of the money raised
by the loan will be paid right back
to the people in the purchase of the
supplies which must be used. 1t is
not the rich alone who must buy
bonds, but everybody that earns dol
lar must do his share and should get
ready now to do it. The rate of in
terest will without doubt be Az per
cent. 1t is a good investment but the
selfish point is no longer in ORDER
