LABOR'S NON-PARTISAN PLAN
NOW ACCEPTED

The American-Federation of Labor
started the fight for non-partlsanshlp
in politics and now almost everyone
favors it.
Since 1881 organized labor has stood
it's ground for this theory, despite at
tempted ridicule, Misrepresentation
and honest opposition. Almost all OF
the later opponents has disappeared
they have accepted the non-partlsan
idea.
Even in the United States senate
group from agricultural states has or
ganized a farm bloc, which has re-
peatedly kicked holes in the discipline
of their respective parties.
The growth of non-partisanship is
also indicated by the increasing op-
position of politicians to the primary
system.
The politician and the agent for
privilege oppose the primary system.
They would return to the convention
system, where delegates can be de-
livered as needed.
Party discipline has lost its force
and politicians are at their wits ends
to re-establish the power of the party
whip.
Men no longer talk of "party loyal
ty." This does not fit in when voters
pride themselves on their political in
dependence.
Under these conditions the trade
union movement enters this years
primaries and elections with a distinct
advantage over former years.
Today labor does not have to ex-
plain or defend its non-partisan
theory. No one now talks of voting
a straight ticket"
The time is ripe for organized labor
to join hands with other forward
looking citizens and defeat the agents
of reaction, privilege and greed.
Organize now for the primaries.
Don't overlook this strategic point.
The primaries is where the founda-
ton for ship subsidies, sales taxes,
anti-labor and other wicked proposals
are laid.
The independent voters of this coun-
try have it within their power to re-
tire from office every foe of American
ideals.
The trade union movement can be
the hub around which this indepen-
dent circle revolves. Every local
should have a non-partisan committee
linked up with similar organizations
appointed by citv centrals and state
federations, and all linked up with the
A. F. of l.. national non-partisan COM
mittee.

EXPLAINS ORIGIN OF FAMOUS
"99" SYMBOL

Although many automobile and
truck owners in this city are already
familiar with the symbol 1899" as
identifying the Oldfield tire for light
motor vehicles it is very likely that
few realize the historic interest that
surrounds the creating of this name.
This was recently explained to the
automobile editor of this paper by
Mr.. William E. Rider of Central Tire
Co., local distributors for the Oldfield
line. 1t appears that in 1893 Henry
Ford built the first racing car sue
cessfully produced in the United
States and named it the "999". Sell
ing it to Barney Oldfeld, king of the
speedways, this master mileage maker
broke the one mile dirt track record
and right there was born the idea
that has now expanded into master
tire made by master racer.
"What would be more natural" I"
Mr.. Rider continued, "than that
Barney should name the new tire
after what was then the newest Of
ideas in automobiles The new tire
is a full size, 30x31a inch, four ply
and it has everything in it's manu-
facture that the master speedster's
thirty years experience on the speed
way and in the tire manufacturing
business can bring to it."
The Oldfield 1899" is unquestion-
ably a forward step in tire building
rot only offering economies as far as
price is concerned but going long
way to solving the problem of the
most miles for the money.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

The other day, for the first time
since the war, a German trans-At-
lantic steamer made stop at French
port to take on passengers and mail.
Also
Two industrial fairs are being held
in Europe. One in Lyons, France, and
the other in Leipsic, Germany. The
French are now finding out that all
the goods they sell in their fair may
be bought in the German fair fifteen
per cent cheaper.
The war is over, long live the war
What was all the shooting for? If
its purpose was to destroy Germany
as an economic factor you may be sure
that many intelligent Frenchmen are
shaking their heads today and won
dering whether that object has been
accomplished.
If the purpose was to destroy mill
tarism, every Frenchman thinks that
less said about it the better.
If the purpose was to make the
world safe for democracy, there is
much laughing in many sleeves, in
many countries.
If however, the purpose was to
make Great Britain the biggest toad
in the puddle, then you have some.
thing to sit down and think about.
But in the meantime German ships
have begun to land at French ports
and German dealers are underselling
French dealers.

GOVERNMENT REFUNDING ISSUE.
BIG EVENT OF WEEK ON STOCK
MARKET-TERMS UNANTIClPATED

ments on its war incurred debt to the
United States. British and Canadian
bonds sell on their investment merits.
1t has been noticeable all this week,
as for some time past, that public
utility securities held their ground bet
ter than either rails or industrials.
Even over a years time it was the
public utilities which scored the great
est advances. Most of this advantage
they held. The generally accepted
reasons have been two fold: first. de-
creasing costs, and. second, a more
liberal attitude on the part of the pub
lie commissions. AS to the first it is
not at all certain that costs will con-
tinue to decrease. As to the second II
is in the extreme to prophesy.
Best Popular Sellers
Probably the most popular utility
securities are those founded on the
electric light and power business and
on the telephone industry. Indefinite
expansion seems possible to both
these classes of utilities. The outlook
for the fractions is not so bright. OPP
p~ortunities for expansion here are linn
tied by the increasing use of the au-
tomobiles and the private car. Trac-
tons, however. with we'll secured
bonds on properties in the larger cities
are meeting with greater favor.
Investment advisers differ sharply
as TO the future of bond prices in gen.
eral. The opinion is that after the
present reimbursement is completed,
prices Will be more or less stabilized
and in some cases the advance re-
sumed.

SERIOUSNESS OF SITUATION
IN EUROPE is GREATER THAN
MOST PEOPLE REALIZE-BABSON

when the last war was on, Russia
was promised Constantinople. Russia
withdrew. Then it was decided to
keep C~onstantinople free, out of the
power of either France or England.
England slowly got a bit of the upper
hand. This hurt the pride of France,
who patiently awaited her opportunity.
Last month it came. Then France
played her cards. In a few hours the
entire European situation changed.
Today France holds the trumps.
at is not merely a wax on paper,
remember. Turkey is fortifying her
self by putting guns and troops. at
strategic points. Frankly. England is
in a hole and this is what caused the
stock market to break and foreign
bonds to tumble. Her own people are
against war. There is the memory of
the recent bloodshed. There is still
the warning mark of great sorrow.
An Englishman, too, cannot see him
saIf going to Turkey to fight. When
Germany Numbered in Europe right
at England's door, the English Tommy
was on fire to fight. But today it is
different. The Englishman remembers
sadly what happened at Gallipoli. He
remembers the fearful cost of conquer
ing a few Beers in South Africa. he
knows that there are Over 20O,0O0,OO0
Mohammedans at Turkeys back door.
English Taxes Heavy
Even the Englishman, who hasn't
a son that is already lost or a son to
lose, has taxes to pay. England, with
her intention of paying her debts is
the only European country that really
taxed her people severely. The or
binary English tradesman is up to his
chin in taxes. England has the high
est tax rate in the world.) He is not
eager for more, the weight of which
would almost break him. This is the
proposition with which England is
faced. She has either got to fight the
Turks at a tremendous cost of men
and money, without the full co-opera-
ton of her own people, or else she has
to lose India, Egypt, Persia, n the
Holy Land. Do you wonder the STOCK
markets broke?
what will happen? I do not know:
but whatever happens, there VIII De no
check on business. The farmer will
be helped by higher prices for wheat.
Manufacturing and shipping will be-
come more active. The cost of living
will go up. Money will be firmer and
scarcer. People win sell their foreign
securities. The stock market, how
ever. will not permanently suffer
When the financial history of l922 Is
written, this will be chronicled only as
a break in a bull market Moreover
the writers will add: Considering the
great seriousness of the Turkish situa-
ton, it is most surprising that the
stock market has behaved so well
Only the fact that business was not In
flated but was still six points below
normal saved the situation. Had tn,
nation in 1922 been enjoying a per1ot
of real prosperity, there would hav'
been witnessed a real old-fashionet
panic"

WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Oct. dashboard competi-
ton for quick shipments of grain has
been of material effect this week IN
lifting the value Of wheat, corn and
oats. Compared with a week ago, wheat
Saturday was Ia cents TO 3A cents
higher, with corn up 2B to MAC, and
oats 1 cent to 2s cents. In provisions
the net change varied from a 90 cents
decline to an advance of 2h cents. 1t
was after the wheat market was finally
free from the disturbing influence of
the controversy with the Turks that the
upward tendency of prices began to
show decided impetus, hou the
first result of the signing of the armis-
tice was a moderate decline in values,
Heavy buying which set in led traders
to forget quickly opinions that had
been current as to bearish aspects of
~stoppag Of the Near East hostilities
Instead. much talk was heard that
under present European conditions the
peace outlook should properly be re-
garded as an aid TO an advance IN
prices.
able supply of wheat gave further en-
phasis TO bullish sentiment, and so toe
did transportation differences which
prevented any ~seasonable enlargement
of seaboard stocks, and rendered de

ness at flour mills both northwest and

on American thought.
The convention also went on record

brought forth more widespread dis

Of the vital interest of smaller bank

came largely from those who fear the
large accumulations of capital which
branch banking would inevitably bring
about. There was great diversity Of
opinion among bankers on the problem.
Opinion was largely localized, Chicago

opposed, while bankers in the west,
particularly California, were much in
favor. New York also maintained a
generally favorable attitude.

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Oct. IA
Readers should not be surprlsed-ac-
cording to Roger w. Babson-because
of the recent action of the stock
ket. When interviewed in wellesley
regarding the matter, Babson SAID the
seriousness of the European situation
is greater than most people realize.
at is really surprising that the
stock market has held up so well dur
ing the past two weeks. OF course
the break was due to the gravity or
the Turkish situation which was I'M
derstood only by the big bankers In
New York. The real facts are tnat
France is today in quite a similar sit
uation as that held by Germany IN
1914.
THE real seriousness of the danger
has somehow been hidden. The change
has come swiftly. A few weeks ago
England was in the saddle. At con
f~erences she was the dictator. one
did the talking and France did the
worrying. Today the situation is just
the reverse. England is now IN a noie.
France deliberately put her there.
England alone of all European ma
tons has stood for law and order. She
alone has stood for the payment OF
| debts, and the f%ulfillment OF obliga-
tons. Germany and Austria are bank
rupt. Chaos reigns in Russia. Italy
is on the verge of bankruptcy. france
is compromising. England is the only
country who has told us hat h Will
pay her debts with interest.
