AN INSIDIOUS
ATTACK UPON
PUBLIC RIGHTS

That is what the Shields bill is.
This bill provides for the leasing of
water power sites to individuals or
corporations and, like all corporation
measures, it discriminates against
the people, the owners of those
rights.
This bill has already passed one
house of Congress and its advocates
are nervously fidgeting around to get
it through the other house.
The Shields bill has been before
Congress several years, and now
comes the Seattle Municipal League
with the discovery of a JOKER in
this treacherous measure which has
been lauded to the skies as the fair
est possible and the best for public
interests. In the Seattle Star of
January Is we find the following:
Municipalities in the state of
Washington would not be able to
apply for federal water power sites,
from which to develop power, under
the Shields bill, according to the
public utilities committee of the Mu-
nicipal League, which urged resolu-
tions calling for an amendment of
the measure.
"The Shields bill prohibits cities
from applying for power sites for
utilities unless their rates and
charges and service are subject to
regulation by the state public service
commission.
''The commission is not permitted
in this state to regulate the rates
of municipally-owned utilities"
So you see a city anywhere in
the United States cannot even apply
fer water power site unless its
rates and charges and service are
subject to regulation by the state
public service commission"
The commission in Washington is
not permitted to regulate the rates
of municipally-owned utilities"
So, under the Shields bill, Wash
ington cities are barred from ac-
quiring water power sites.
The public utilities committee of
the Seattle Municipal League would
pass resolutions calling for an
amendment to the bill so that Wash
ington municipalities may have at
least the poor chance of applying
for the privilege of using what al
ready belongs to the people.
Public officials and representatives
of the people act as though the un-
used natural resources of the coun-
try belonged to them (the officials)
to be given to the corporations max
ing the biggest offer. Cities rarely
"get look-in" because they are not
inclined to pay for what already
gelongs to them.
The thing to do is not to ASK
for an amendment to the Shields
bill but to DEMAND its defeat.
There is another bill introduced,
or to be introduced, supposed to be

UNION RECOGNITION
IE FIRST ESSENTIAL

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Trade
union recognition is the first es-
sential if employers would assist
in the minimizing of industrial
dissatisfaction, says the committee
on industry and employment, af-
filiated with the mayors commit
tee on national defense.
"In the first place, employers
must recognize the unions and
deal with them," says the report.
Recognition of the union has
been the rock over which many an
attempt at mediation has split.
Employers must be made to see
that the working men have an in
herent right to organize and pre-
sent their case through the lead
ers of their organization. Until
this principle, which has been rec
ognized in England for years, is
generally accepted in this country
we can not hope to proceed far,
for not only will we still have one
of the main causes of industrial
unrest still existent but we will
lack any basis for a machinery
with which to adjust the inevitable
differences which arise"

That Americas air fleet is about

denced by the announcement that the
Aviation Corps is in urgent need OF
1914 chauffeurs and moter-truck driv-
ers, 1852 auto and gas engine men,
l 800 machinists, 22O blacksmith for

Others Above or Below Draft
Age Who Have Enlisted Will
Run Figure Up to $4,000

Figures given out this week by
Governor Lister show that 1906
men of this state between the ages
of q and 81 years have entered
the service of the army. This list
dos not include any who went to the
officers training camp, none to the
naval reserves, none to the navy,
nor. none over 81 or less than q
years of age who have enlisted in
branches of the service. This means
that somewhere in the neighborhood
of 24O00 or $4,000 men from this
state have already gone into the
active military service of Uncle
Sam in some branch or other.
The figures given out are as fol-
lows:
National guard .............................5,3 1854
Registrars (vounteers) --.........7, 1905
Registrants (draft) .-..................7, 7,346
Total ----.-..--..-.-...........-.....,,..19,70 ,706
1t is stated by Governor Lister
that as yet it is impossible to gather
the data Tor compiling the list of
names of all the men from this state
who have entered the service of the
government. 1t is proposed that this
be done later for the benefit of the
State Historical Society and letters
concerning it have already been
written.
1t is hoped that the forces now at
work on the draft can be used for
this purpose when the time comes
and then complete and accurate
directory can be made up and the
state issue the same so that the rela-
tives of the men in the army and
navy may get them.-State Capitol

The price received by the farmers
of Washington for their 1917 wheat
crop is the largest in history. De-
spite the short yield which cut the
production down to about 81 per cent
of the average for the three former
years, the high price paid the farm
ers, averaging around $1.90, more
than offset the shrinkage in volume.
