PREPARING FOR THE
FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN

An important financial confer
ence is being held in San Francisco
today. The Principal speaker will
be Lewis B. Franklin director of
War Loan Organizations at Wash
ington. Those who will attend the
conference include Liberty Loan
state chairmen, War Savings state
directors and women state chair
men from California, Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Te-
vada, Alaska and Hawaii.
The Government financial pro-
gram will be explained and particu-
lar attention will be given plans to
curb the activities of bond brokers
who are asking the public to sell
their Liberty Bonds. Hold your
bonds" is the appeal of the Govern
ment not only because selling them
now means a sacrifice to original
purchasers, but because the Govern
ment is embarrassed by fall in price
due to numerous sales. Sale of
bonds of the first four loans will
impair the success of the Victory
Loan.

Disfranchise Thousands .

In the discussion of proposed
changes in the election of registra-
ton laws it was pointed out by sew
eral labor members that the exist
ing registration laws have operated
to disfranchise thousands of work
ers in the cities, and William Bouck,
master of the State Grange, and
other grange members pointed out
that the same effect has resulted in
the country communities.
One serious effect of this wide
spread acknowledgements, it was
pointed out, has been to disfran-
chise so many voters between cleo
lions, thereby rendering it practi-
cally impossible to procure an ade-
ouate number of signatures to in
itiative and referendum petitions.
The conference resolved to petit
ton the Governor and the Legisla-
ture for the submission of con-
stitutional amendment reducing the
residence requirements for electors
to 80 days in the state and 80 in
the county.

Increased Pay Asked

A resolution was adopted advo-
eating the enactment of law in
creasing the compensation of mem
bers of the Legislature from SO to
$40 a day. IT is not anticipated
that this measure will be consid-
cred by the Legislature since its en-
actment by that body would dis
qualify it's members from member
ship in future Legislatures. The
plan of the conference is to have it
submitted at some future time as an
initiative measure.
Several members of the Legisla-

the Labor-Farmers' program. Other
conferences of a similar character
will be held in Olympia from time

HAS WAR CHANGED
THE HUMAN MIND?
(By Leon Morstall in the Journey.
man Barber)

During the human carnage just
ended, and while the slaughter was
at its height, people were often
heard to say that the war would
emancipate and enlighten the minds
of millions of common people, and
that the human banner" would
float from the top of every COM
mercial concern. There were also
talks of broader vision on the part
of the soldiers, upon return to civil
life, and our finding in them a new
flame of unselfish human brother
hood.
Unless my judgment has been
hastily formed, the only thing that
/ can clearly see are the emancipat-
ed minds of the common people,
and the rest appears just like a
moral CONSERVATION, or in palmer
words, false alarm"
While wars sharpen the intellects
of the masses, they also sharpen the
industrial buccaneers, who, in the
scramble for gold, ride rough-shod
over the already over-burdened
backs of the wage-earners.
The returned soldier has, no
doubt, brought back with him a
greater appreciation for his home
and relatives, his moral makeup
somewhat changed, and possibly
greater degree of liberation toward
higher ideals, but, economically
speaking-and do not mean at all
to be pessimistic-the returned SOL
der, having been drilled by eff
cient disciplinarians, will go back
to the industry whence he came,
and obey orders-discipline
Arguments may be advanced that
we are not a military country, and
as such my summary will not hold
good. Well, the recent demonstra-
lions in New York, Toronto. Can,
and other sections of the continent,
are self-evident.
The intellectual consequences
which this war has had on the COM
mon people must not be minimized;
in fact, they take precedence over
the moral ones because they spell
Human Liberty, and greater happi-
ness-if not Immediately, in the
very near future.
When war broke loose the people
of France, Belgium, Great Britain,
Italy, and even we, were much per-
turbed. by the alleged "kultur" and
efficiency of Germany; and when
the horizon appeared the darkest,
a ray of light, caused by the change
in the mentality of the people, be-
came the essential factor for peace.
Prior to this war the visions of
enduring peace influenced many
minds. Militarism was regarded as
relic of barbaric days, and inter
national Socialism of great influ-
ence, if not factor, for the mighty
work of peace preservation.
When the dogs of war were I'M
chained many questioned the pro-
gress of civilization, and were as
tonished at the conflagration. The
only ones remaining unshocked were
the deep thinkers, who anticipated
that the struggle for gold and

STOP GRIPPING
PRINTING BUSINESS

1t is gratifying to see the Allied
Printing Trades Council of this
city, composed of all unions engaged
in the printing industry, at last
aroused to the vital necessity of con-
vinCing the County Commissioners
once and for all time, that public
money should be spent at home
whenever possible, even at slight
increase over what Eastern manu-
facturers are willing to bid, in or
der to gain foothold in the field of
the local printing industry.
There are many thousands of dol
lars invested in printing equipment
in this city, that is lying idle for
lack of the proper expression of the
buying at home spirit" of the
large buyers of printing.
The County Commissioners are
setting this bad example every year,
in spending the taxpayers money
where it can not possibly come back
and is entirely lost to the upbuild-
ing of our city and the payroll
which makes for prosperity of any
community, and furnishes the peo-
pie living here the opportunity to
own their own homes, that in turn
these same commissioners may be
employed and enjoy the high stan
dard of living which they would
deny the taxpayers engaged in the
printing industry in this city.
About GO per cent of the members
of the Printing Trades Unions of
this city are taxpayers, out of a
total membership of $50, with to-
tai of $7,160.OO paid in taxes each
year.
This exclusive of $16,450.00 paid
on printing equipment by the en-
ployers, making a total of $23,-
$1,000. This does not incltide taxes
paid by newspapers.
The per capita tax rate for 1918
in Missouri was 5000, while that of
Washington was $4.96, a differ
ence in our standards of living of
500 per cent, and an increase of As
per cent on the county printing.
The fact that so per cent of the
printing equipment of this city is
idle does not reduce the taxes paid
on them one mill. In other words,
the printer pays Just as much taxes
with half his plant idle as he does
when running at full capacity.
The resultant loss to employer
and employee alike is a very bad
state of affairs, for every other in
dustry in this community, as it ma
turally reduces the amount of mon
ey that should circulate here.
: 1t is our humble opinion that ev-
cry taxpayer in the state should
demand of the next Legislature that
this state get in line with other
Western states, such as Idaho, Mon
tana, and pass State Printing Bill
requiring the public printing be
done at home, and not make this
state a bright spot on the credit
ledger of some Eastern mail order
house at the expense of our indus
tries and taxpayers.-Spokane La
Dor World.

Demobilize At Home

One of these provides for asking
the Legislature to promptly me-
morialize Congress to enact law
providing for the rehabilitation of
all soldiers at their homes by their
local draft boards, and giving to
each soldier upon his discharge his
uniform and an honorable service
bonus of $500.
Another measure endorsed pro-
vides for the establishment by law
of small debtors courts in which
claims up to $50 can be informally
adjudicated without expense to liti-
giants. Others pledge support to a
bill providing that all public print
ing shall be done in the state; a
bill providing three field secretar-
les for the State Welfare Commits
sion to aid in the enforcement of
the minimum wage for women, and
one making such changes in the
citizenship laws as will prevent wo-
men from losing or acquiring citi-
zenship by marriage.

junkerism could lead us to no other
end. True, few, if any, conceived
the idea that the conflict would be
so gigantic; yet, long since, in the
early nineties, Crispi, then premier
of Italy, denounced Germany for
continuous appropriations for the
development of the army and navy,
and, in a protest to Bismarck, re-
marked that, unless Germany's am
billions ceased, she would plunge
Europe into a pool of blood.
Again referring to the intellectual
consequences of the war, / believe
that the common people will emerge
from this chaotic state with keener
regard for the common interests,
stronger sentiment for the redis-
tribution of material goods on a
more just basis, and an equitably re-
fashioned society.
Poverty, ignorance and vice, the
breeding germs of crime, through
the intellectual advances made, will
be largely, if no altogether, eradi-
Gated.
While the frame of mind of our
people is in a recipient mood we
must not relent our educational eff
forts; laXity on our part at this
tim emay mean the recurrence of
the state quo ante-bellum.
British Labor is issuing manifes-
to upon manifesto, to keep the
masses mentally occupied with mo-
mentous questions and to enlarge
their vision thereupon. In re-
cent manifesto British Labor de-
manded as an essential part of the
peace treaty, that the international
Labor Charter be incorporated in
the very structure of a League of
Free Nations. We, as men and wo-
men of American Labor, must make
the most of the present opportun-
ity and secure rights which are ours
by birth. Proper housing, educa-
ton, comfortable wage (and not
Giving" wage), adequate taxation
on the profits of capital to pay off
the war debt, national ownership
of all railroads, mines, telephones,
telegraphs, cables and other neces-
sary public commodities. Congress
should be urged to enact laws pro-
hibiting foreign sweatshop-made
goods to enter in competition with
our home industries-we have al2
ready too many sweatshop-made
goods within our own gates, with
out competing with foreign ones.
| believe, and earnestly so, that
the working people, through this
war, have greatly enlarged their
vision and developed their minds
upon problems which are ours to
solve, and, like John Vance Cheney,
| say:
Strength shall have the toiler,
Strength and grace
So fitted to his place.

Will ever be
For him and as he.
The soldier too, upon his return
to civil life, may be educated to
take up the struggle for the COM
mon cause. Those who profiteer
on the fruits of his labor also profit
teer on ours. A justified industrial
mutiny does not necessarily mean
disregard of discipline.
