Washington State Bond
Issue.

OLYMPIA, Wash.-Calls for bids
on the remaining $6,OOO,OOO of the
$11,O00,000 state bond issue to pay
soldiers compensation have been is
sued to be opened by the state board
OF finance on July 6. The state com
pensation department has passed a
total of 25,273 claims for payment,
which total s5.700,00O in cash. This
is nearly s750.000 beyond the $4,000
900 received from the first state bond
ISSUE
At this rate the entire 81 900 900
will fall possibly $4,000,000 short of
paying the approximately $4,000 men
who are probably entitled to compen.
sation payment in this state The
number is closely estimated at $1,000.
More than 1000 less than half this
number have been paid and 5000. 900
more than half the bond issue has
been passed for payment and largely
paid.

Mellon, Blair Face Great Task for
Four Years In Treasury De-
partment-Revenue Bureau
Wants More Money.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-If Secretary
Mellon and Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue Blair adjust the war tax
claims against corporations, counter
claims of the corporations against the
government under the income tax law
and the claims and counter claims by
the end Of the Harding administration
they must do seven years work in
four, After a survey of the war in
the taxing bureau of the treasury they
discovered that the Wilson admins
tration was over three years behind
with this important work. AS a mat
ter of fact, it is the greatest task that
has ever confronted the treasury de-
partment to untangle the mass of
claims. The experts are not able to
determine just how much will be COM
ing to Uncle Sam when the balance
is struck.
1t Is estimated that the corporations
owe the government between $500, 00O,-
900 and s600,000,000 of back taxes.
Some of the claims are over three
years old, not because of the refusal
of the corporations to pay, but because
the treasury department has not ad-
justed the claims.
The more serious fact is that many
of these delinquents can not pay their
tax dues, and will have to be put out
Of business allowed to go tax free
or be given more time. Most Of the
money set aside by them for the bu-
reau OF internal revenue has been
used up keeping business going.
Profits made during the war and i'm
mediately after the armistice, have
disappeared.
Approximately $35,OOO,OOO in addi-
tional assessments are being put on
the treasury books monthly by field
men. More than $4O0,O0O.O0O was
added last year. The back taxes
amounted to $1,000, 100000 when this
drive to get all that was coming to
the government started The men do
ing this work are the agents in
charge
About 10000 employees are now at
work, and the bureau Of internal
revenue is asking for $14.O000O0 ad.
ditional to further it.

WASHINGTON.-While expressing
disapproval of the Norris bill to create

Leisured Slaves of the Machine.
(New York Post. )

No arragnment of the modern industrial system would regard itself complete if it omitted two things One is the deadening effect of the machine on the soul of the worker The other is the certain Instruction of our industrial system later. by working class growing in intelligence. purpose, courage and resOurcefulness.
 What we are often told is how these two things can be reconciled. If the machine takes the joy of creative effort out of the workers life, how Gees manage leave him intelligent and reso ute his ancestor, the free craftsman of the industrial era? If the factory worker reduced to an auomaton how explain that Labor Movement to which a great many people look for the reconstruc ton the world? If the factory worker has become the slave of the machine, how account for such ahings labor schools and colleges peoples theatres music and for the people. not to speak of the new art of the movies which the working share joyfully with the bourgeoise? And, in general, if the factory system crushes the worker, what will ex- plain the fact that the workers today are stronger than they have been because they better off than they have been?
 There is explanation available and for the sim pie reason that the deadly monotony of the machine is not true in the in which it is commonly em poyed for poemca purposes. The phrase has been retained of the earlier of the factory system when the machine did crush the worker from twelve to sixteen hours in the day. when the undeniable automatsm of the factory had not produced those broader opportunities outside of the factory which modern industrial methods have made possible. In the early years the worker prohted neither by the about by the increased leisure Today he profits by both, and by the second even more than by the first
 Arthur Pound, writing in the October Atlantic on The Iron Man., has had both the intelligence and the to free himself from the legend of the lautomatied worker who is also the crushed worker MT. Pound makes no attempt to mnimide the psycho logical effects of machine methods inside the factory During working hours the life of the operative be dreadfully monotonous it is usually de lseribed. But the machine has cut down the number of working hours to such extent to create the problem in which MT Pound is chiefly interested how to develop system of education for working mass which has more and time it's hands:
 The fact is that the hours given to tend
