People Want Tax Revision, Tariff

Washington, Sept 16.-The peo-
pie want the high cost OF living re-
duced and business revived with a

publican leaders are getting from
congressman returning to Washing
ton from sojourns at home.
| Congress is held strictly account
able for present conditions by many
constituencies and complaints that
congress has not enacted tariff
bill nor revised taxes could not be
silenced, congressman declared.
The peoples Legislative program,
according to the concensus of opin-
ion among returning congressman,
is:
I. Prompt revision of taxes. &
| 2. Tariff protection from cheap
German products.
8. Reduction of freight rates.
Sound business men realize that
America is suffering from war reac-
ton" said Representative Bland, ''but
it is hard to tell that to farmers who
are selling calfskins for AZ cents and
paying $40 for shoes"
Congressman from the Middle
West declare that the farmers in
their districts are the hardest hit by
present conditions and are the loud
est in their complaints. They admit
the farmers told them to go back to
Washington and get busy with taxes,
tariff and freight rates.

Attorney General Thompson
Advises Supervisor
E. E. Gill
ENTITLED TO LUMP
SUM OF 10 PER CENT
Also Gives Opinion That Piece
Worker Is Not Contractor
Under Industrial Act

In an opinion rendered yesterday
to Supervisor e. E. Gill, of industrial
insurance, Attorney General L. l..
Thompson holds that the parents or
parent Of any workman under 81
years of age and unmarried should
receive lump sum equal to 10 per
cent of the amount awarded such
claimant under the workmen's COM
pensation act.
Attorney General Thompson re-
ferred Major Gill in his opinion to
the opinion rendered by his Office to
the industrial insurance commission
on February IS. 1919. which also
holds that the parents shall receive
$50 per month until after the time
the minor shall be twenty-one years
OF age.
Replies to Query.
In response to q quarry as to the
manner in which premiums shall be
paid into the medical aid fund At
torney General Thompson rules:
"Prior to 1921, the law provided
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1921-05-06

that where work was done by con
tract the contractor should be re-
sponsible primarily and directly tC
the accident fund for the proper per.
| centage of the total payroll of the
work, and that the owner of the
property effected by the contract
should be surety for such payments
The laws of 1921 amended this sec.
ton to the extent that the employer
or person letting the contract is di.
rectly liable to the accident fund for
premiums and that such employer
may then collect the amount of such
premiums from the person to whom
the contract was let"
Piece Worker Not Contractor.
Major Gill also asked the opi2 ion
Of the attorney general as to whether
an employer who enters into a con-
tract with third person under con-
ditions that would make the third
person a piece worker under the
commissions definition OF that term
has a right to charge the premiums
prescribed In the act to such third
person to which the attorney general
replies:
Assuming that the third person
referred to In your inquiry is piece
worker and not an Independent con-
tractor, it is apparent that work.
man receiving his compensation in
the form Of a piece work is not an
Independent contractor.
Section 6604-4, Rem. Code, pro-
vides that 1t shall be unlawful for
the employer to deduct any part Of
the premiums from the wages or
earnings Of the workman. The laws
Of 1921 only authorize the employer
to collect the premiums from the
contractor. We believe that the
word contractor" as therein used,
has reference to an Independent
contractor and not a workman who
contracts to receive his salary or
earnings for work done upon the
basis of piece work. II the third
party in question is not an independ-
ent contractor, but workman re-
ceiving his compensation upon the
basis Of piece work, you are advised
that section 8, chapter 1872. does not
authorize the employer to charge .he
premium to a person who is not. in
fact an Independent contractor. but
who contracts that the amount Of
his wages or salary shall be COM
ruted on the basis Of piece work."

les, Ireland has been robbed Of
wealth amounting to an empires
ransom and its population reduced to
four million from eight and half
million, it is charged. This was term
ed "a crime unique among civilized
nations"
It was pointed out that Ireland has
constantly resisted the invasion Of
her rights and the efforts to reduce
her to the state OF vassal, by peri
odical armed uprisings, averaging
almost one to every generation. Even
when she has been too weak for
armed opposition, Ireland never
ceased to make clear her hatred of
foreign rule.
Irish Vote Republic
Encouraged by the principles
enunciated by Great Britain during
the world war. the Irish people voted
by an overwhelming majority for an
Independent Irish republic. This pie
beetle was carried out under the laws
prescribed by England, the state
ment reads. Accordingly, the peoples
representatives (Dail Eireann) as
sembled on January 81, 1919. and

to the right of the Irish people to

WASHINGTON, May s. - 1.-THE
case Of Ireland against England" has
been presented to congress- the
elected representatives Of the people
of the United States of America by
Rail Eireann. and the elected repre-
sentatives Of the people of Ireland
This voluminous report, presenting
q review Of the case. and supported
and sworn af1davits to numerous
cases of "inhuman cruelty" was
adopted by Dali Eireann, last Janu-
airy and carries the signature of
every member OF the body.
England Attacks Irish Entity
England is accused of q deliberate
and systematic effort to wipe out the
entity of Ireland by visiting on the
people Of the little island all the
savage cruelty and destruction that
characterized the march of the Ger
man armies through Belgium and
southern France. Through England's
continued armed opposition to Ire
lands freedom, the population of the
island has been reduced from $780,
900 inha bitants to 100000. Permit
ted to follow its national life IN
nered. the number Of inhabi-
tants would now number 100000.

1.-THE nation which we represent
enjoyed for over 1000 years the life
Of an important sovereign state
among the states of Europe" the
statement says. "Then a neighboring
nation, England, which had received
the benefits of civilization and edu-
cation first from our hands, lost to
gratitude and honor, and burning
with lust for our possessions. burst
in upon US as a conscienceless invad-
er and through the course of many
generations strove to subvert our
policy, annihilate our language and
our culture. suppress our industry.
ruin our agriculture, steal our trade
and commerce, deprive us of the adj
vantages of our geographical posi-
ton, cut us of from our ancient in
tercourse with other peoples. rob US
of our revenues and erase our names
from the roll of nations"
When England failed to achieve
this effort to wipe out Ireland's
status as a free nation, she entered
into treaties acknowledging the
islands national independence and
guaranteeing to respect their provi-
sions, the document states. But these
provisions were held inviolate only
until after Ireland's national de-
fenses had been dismantled, Dali
Eireann charges.
"Then treaties and contracts were
treated as scraps of paper and the
compact treacherously and bloodily
violated" the charge read. "All the
resources of powerful and ruth
less tyranny have ben employed since
in a desperate attempt to utterly de-
stroy us as a nation"

Local Team Has Scored Total Of 20
Points to Opponents 81 So
Far This Year

Olympia High School students be-

ball victories has been established
by the local team Of this year and
last. Eighteen straight wins IL the
way the record reads at the present
time, IL Of them by last years state
champion team, and six by this years
prospective champs. Whether or not
the string of victories can be
stretched to 20 will be determined
this week, when teams representing
Puyallup High and Centralia High
come to the local diamond to be bat
tied. Puyallup will play tomorrow
afternoon at 3:45, and Centralia on
Friday at the same hour.
Some interesting information was
given out by Coach Milholin of the
local squad at high school assembly
today. According to his figures the
locals are hitting for a team average
of an even 800 in the games. One
regular is hitting over 500, and two
others over 400. So far this year
they have scored total Of 70 points
as against their opponents 81.
Player Must Be Passing Student.
In addition to being a good ball
player a fellow has to be a passing
student in order to represent Olym-
pia high school on the diamond. The
candidates grades are checked every
week, and only those who are passing
in Is hours of regular work are al
lowed to participate in any way in
athletics. Occasionally this system
forces regular" to play the bench
for a week or so, but on the average
the ball players are as good or better
students than the non-athletes.
The record of the locals for the
last year and this to date follows:

perhaps one reason why there are

Assistant Postmaster Says

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Action of the

guards on mail trains and trucks, has
had the desired effect of preventing a
number of carefully planned projects
to rob the mails, according to reports to
Second Assistant Postmaster General

portation for the department. Mr..
O'shaugnessy said Saturday the marines
had been asked for after the department
agents had learned that raids through
out the country on the mails were be-
ing planned this winter and had al
ready more than justified their pres
ence Relative to protest Of the gov
ernor of Wisconsin against the right of
marines to fire at persons beating their
way on trains, Mr.. O'Shaughnessy said
that was matter entirely within the
hands Of the navy department as the
postoffice department had no authority
over the marines and simply designated
