Mr. and Mrs. Voter:
In making your selection Of the
candidates that you intend to vote
for at this election | really believe
that there is one thing that is to
be considered and very seriously
SO. Is your choice going to be
made in a manner whereby you are
going to furnish material for the
political mechanic or machine to
make tools of. In the 23 years that
have lived in Rock Island l have
at different times watched the po-
litical mechanic and the political
machine manufacture their tools
after election, and believe me, it
is my honest opinion that the tax
payers of Rock Island paid double
time for every hour that the polit-
zeal mechanic and machine worked.
/ have also watched this here
plank, known as the cleanup and
law enforcement plank, in a num-
Der of the different platforms and
it reminds me of the good old pies
mother used to make. after the pie
is baked it was cut up and disap-

VAST HOLDINGS HIDDEN 44-HOUR WEEK FOR $4,000
Silk Mill Employers Agree
Also to Advance in Wages

New York. Twenty eight thousand
members of the United Textile Work
ers of Arerica will get a 44-hour
week the day the treaty of peace is
ratified by the United States senate,
if ratification takes place before Oc-
tober 10. The 44-hour week will go
into effect on that day in any event.
Last April the silk workers case
was before the War Labor board, when
an award was made which permitted
reopening of the case six months from
date of the award unless the war
ended before that date. That date
expires October 10 and it is now by
agreement between the union and the
employers that the new schedule of
hours will go into effect.
Agreement for an advance in wages
of from Is to 20 per cent was reached
about two weeks ago.
Efforts are now being centered on
extending the 44-hour week to mills
in Pennsylvania and New England,
where hours now range from 48 to So
per week. Success is anticipated.

WELL FED FAMILIES

Philadelphia.-America's first need

the North Americans editorial on

Capitalists Use Clever Fl
nancial Device to
Dodge Taxes.

Washington. While investigating
the meat packing industry the federal
trade commission uncovered remark
able financial device which can com
pletely hide the ownership of stocks
and bonds. If this system comes into
general use, the commission says, it
can be used to evade the payment by
corporations of income and other taxes
to the government
The device is known as a bearer
warrant" and is a receipt for stock
certificate. The certificate litslf runs
to the treasurer of the corporation and
he issues receipt, or warrant, for
it. The warrant runs to "bearer" and
the dividends can be collected and the
stock actually voted without even the
officers of the corporation knowing
who the stockholder it.
The system was discovered by the
commission in its search for the true
ownership of certain Chicago stock
yards interests and it prevented the
commission from fully determining
the identity of the real stockholders.
The Chicago yards, yard railways
and adjacent real estate development
are operated by companies whose stock
is owned by the Chicago Junction rail-
ways and the Union Stock Yards Com
pany of New Jersey, which in turn IS
controlled by the Chicago Stock Cards
company of Maine Bearer warrants .
for 1914 per cent of the Maine com
pany stock have been identified as
belonging to j Ogden Armour, presi-
dent of Armour & Co, one of the
big five" meat packers.
The commission found that Armour
exchanged $4,000 in cash for ST.
$4,000 of stock in the Maine COM
pany. Up to the year 1917 he has

Debris of Thousand

FLORENCE, July /. (By the Associ-
ated Press i'm many places through
out the district visited by the earth
quake on Sunday the number Of in
jured has made it impossible to trans
port the suffering to hospitals because
Of the lack Of proper means at the
disposal Of the authorities. Impromptu
nurses have taken care Of the injured
in the fields and along the duty roads.
PossessOrS of automobiles have given
great assistance, rushing from spot to
spot and bringing help, medicines and
bandages for use by the doctors and
nurses.
In spite Of h%eartrending cries from
ruins, rescue work at many places could
not arrive until necessary tools had
been brought from Florence. Many
persons are believed to have died un.
der the shattered debris OF their homes.
In the earthquake zone more than
900 houses were seriously damaged
IN addition to those which were utterly
destroyed. The entire population OF
the Regello valley, 20 miles southeast
Of Florence. Is obliged to camp in the
open air, it being considered unsafe for
the people to return to their home. The
authorities have not succeeded In sup
plying all the people with tents and
huts and thus the exposure to the UNI
usually cold weather, in addition to the
general misery in that district, may
have serious consequences.
The railway crossing the Regello val
ley has been broken, several bridges
being damaged. and a number OF wagon
roads have been blocked by rocks which
slid down the mountain sides. Among
the houses damaged at Regello was the
one where Giotto, who has been called
