A. M. Hyde for the Senate

Speculation is rife these DAYS
as to who will enter the race for
the United States senatorship
from Missouri to fill the place of

is being brought to bear upon
Hon. A. M. Hyde of Trenton to
allow his name TO be used as a
candidate He has taken prom.
lnent part in this state for the
success of the party in the past,
and is known as a clean politician
"a brilliant orator, an able attor.
ney and an aggressive young Re.
publican, one who is big enough
and brainy enough to occupy a
place in the U. s. Senate and
conduct himself with credit to
the party, to the state and to the
nation. If he is made the stand.
ard bearer of his party he will
add strength to the ticket,in the
November election and, if elect

Special Notice to Flour

Your attention is called to the
fact that in checking over the

the food administrators office
each week, there is considerable
difficulty found in imperfectly
filled certificates. After one week
from the publication of this no.
tice, no certificate will be receiv.
ed by the Office that is not in pro
per form, and filled out properly
in legible writing. If the custom.
er cannot write his or her name
legibly, you will have them sign
the certifca te and then you write
in the margin the customers
name in legible writing. We find
that most of the dealers are res

WANTED-MORE McADOOS

Attempts by private insurance in
terests to discredit the generous
federal insurance for soldiers and
sailors may result in the rapid de-
velopment and extension of all forms
of government insurance. In a
terse letter to the president of a big
life insurance company, who had
written disparaging article for a
New York newspaper on the gov
ernment's insurance at cost for the
nations fighting forces, Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo promptly
throws down this challenge:

cial position in every state where
costly private insurance is blocking
the way toward a state fund for
workmen's insurance, it is being sug-
gested, similar beneficial effects"

Especial to The Labor JournaD
HOQUIAM, Wash, March "a. -
Charges that certain contract physi-
clans of the state are attempting to
interfere with the operation of the
state medical aid law and to dis
credit it, and an explanation to
workmen of their right to medical
care under the provisions of the law,
were features of a statement issued
by the state board after meeting
here yesterday.
The meeting was attended by two
of the three members, Martin Fly
xix, of Seattle labor member of the
board, and Alex Polsen of this city,
representative of the employers. The
statement prepared on this occasion
and issued by the board follows;
Assessments Suspended Four
Months
The medical aid board recently
certified to the Industrial Insurance
Commission that the surplus in the
medical aid fund was sufficient to
permit an omission of contributions
to the fund, from employers and
workmen, for a period of four
months. In addition, the physicians
fee schedule was raised on an av-
erage of 25 per cent. The former
schedule was the equal of any in the
United States or Canada, and much
higher than that prevailing in most
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1918-03-29

of the state, but in view of the
advanced cost of living, also that OF
drugs and all medical supplies, the
board decided that the increase in
the schedule was not only justified,
but necessary. The firms who are
under medical aid contracts, however,
are bound by such contracts to con-
tinue to make their monthly con-
tributions to the contract doctors.
Therefore, the above mentioned omis
sion affects such firms and their
workmen only to the extent OF CIV
ing them the benefit of the 10 per
cent. which they would ordinarily
be required to contribute to the med
ical aid fund for administration pur-
poses.
Contract Plan Is Expensive
Upon discovering that the con-
tract plan is costing more than the
state plan, great number of the
contract employers and workmen i'm
mediately became dissatisfied with
the plan they had chosen, and in an
attempt to overcome this dissatis-
faction. the organized contract ply
sicians have started propaganda
charging that the surplus in the
state medical aid fund is composed
of the 10 per cent contributions from
the contract employers, and that the
medical aid board is paying for
medical treatment, in non-contract
cases, from these 10 per cent con-
tributions, when the law provides
that such contributions are for ad-
ministration purposes only.
FalsehOOds Exposed
TO show up the falsity for these
statements, the following figures are
given. The medical aid fund has
received a total of $236,007.51, of
which $31,500 was derived exclus-
lively from 10 per cent contributions.
1t will be noted that this is a very
small part of the total received
The administration expense up to
March l, which includes salaries to

office equipment, postage, local aid

which leaves balance of $15,032.

months of March, April, May and

tributions will be received will rrn

ical aid bills out of the 10 per cent
contributions.
The following resolutions was
adopted:
Collecting Fees Illegally
That Whereas, 1t has been brought
to the attention Of the state medical
aid board, that certain members OF
the medical profession, chiefly those
who hold medical aid contracts, are
in an attempt to discredit the medi-
cal aid law, as whole, and the
state plan of treatment in particular,
discouraging the workmen who are
not bound by medical aid contracts,
from filing their claims with the
industrial insurance commission,
when the injuries sustained are triv-
ial and workmen are disabled, by
reason of their injuries, for less
than seven days, on the ground that
same would only be rejected by such
commission.
Further, that they are collecting
their fees from such injured work
men and are giving the men the
impression that they are not en-
titled to any medical aid benefits
from the state on account of trivial
injuries; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the state medical
aid board go on record as severely
condemning such practices of the
physicians, and notice is hereby CIV
en- to the workmen that those who
are under medical aid contracts are
entitled to all necessary medical,
surgical and hospital care, in con-
nection with an injury sustained in
the course of employment, from the
contract doctor without any charge
whatsoever against the workmen:
Further, That under the state plan
the injured man is entitled to a free
choice of physicians at the expense
of the state medical aid fund, and
no doctor or hospital bills whatso-
ever should be paid by the work
men.
WOrkmen, whether under contract
or not, should pay no hospital or
doctor bills for injuries sustained
while in the course of their employ
ment.

From Peoples News Service)

The growing interest exhibited by
organized labor in the taxation of
land values, otherwise known as the
single tax, is one of the significant
developments of the day.
In California, the State Federation
of Labor is the strongest single in
fluence in favor of constitutional
amendment exempting improvements
from taxation and so throwing the
entire tax burden on land values.
In Missouri, the Homestead Loan
and Land League is urging similar
amendment for the election of next
November. And the Leagues chief
support comes from organized labor.
It's president is Frank P. Walsh,
former chairman of the federal
commission on industrial relations
and member of the new federal
board on labor policy. Its treasurer
is Charles A. Sumner, secretary
treasurer of the international Union
of Stereotypers and Electrotypers.
And R. T. Wood, president of the
Missouri State Federation of Labor,
is member of it's advisory COM
mittee.
Samuel Gompers recently urged
land value taxation upon Congress
in letter to Congressman Heating,
and delegates representing 100000
members of the United Mine Work
ers last year adopted a resolution
urging taxation of land values as a
means of forcing all idle land into
use, increasing opportunity, and
lowering the cost of living.
In an open letter, Mr.. Walsh says
of the Missouri campaign:
Missouri, like other states in the
union, has grave problem facing
it. Thousands of our citizens are
tenant farmers and city renters;
millions of tillable acres and valu-
able city lots are held idle for specu-
lation-and conditions are getting
worse every year. The Homes for
the Homeless program will put an
end to tenacy and landlordism and
open the land of Missouri to her cit
liens. 1t will solve the problem
! of food shortage and high prices.
When Missouri makes this great
step, others will fall in line. 1t
will sweep the nation"
Equally significant are the al
liances being formed in various
rarts of the country between labor
organizations and farmers in sup
port of the single tax and other re-
form measures. The Non-partisan
League of North Dakota carries
modified single tax plank, and so
does the new Union of Workers and
Producers recently organized in Cal
ifornia. Many officers of state
oranges and other farm organiza-
lions have become preachers of the
single tax, asserting that the av-
erage farmer who actually works his
own land has everything to gain
taxation and levy on Stacker acres
at the same rate as acres that are
being intensively cultivated.
In England, the Labor Party has
placed single tax plank in it's
economic platform.
Proponents of the single tax among
labor men are urging that it would
accomplish the same result as So
cialism in doing away with unearned
incomes and giving every worker
the full product of his toll, while
avoiding the deadly leveling when
he is asked to place all ownership
and control in the hands of the
state.
1t begins to look as though
single tax program might be Ameri-
can labor's contribution to the much

Birmingham: England, Aug. 22.-
the effect of the war has been noticed
even in funerals in England.
The four-horse hearse team recent

largely to the depletion of undertak-
ers' staffs by the national call for
more men for the front in France. The
limit in horses for funerals in the fu-
ture will be two to each hearse. For
many years in the manufacturing dis
