But here comes this blamer farm

is the case.
Now if you think the farm bloc
is wrong about this and that the
profiteers ought not to pay the sold
iers' adjusted compensation. you
should write and tell Mr.. Smoot and
Mr.. Longworth that you are with
them. But if, on the other hand,
you are willing that the profiteers

LABOR TRIUMPHANT
By Edmund Defreyne

Hail, highly thing of brain and Drawn,
Whose head and hands uphold the world,
Hail, Conqueror Awake the dawn
Of the day comes apace, and hurled
Into the limbo Of the past
Will be thy wrongs, if thy strong hands
But pull together and hold fast
Each right when gain. But thy demands
Backed by the manhood's might must be;
Thou canst not win with half thy power.
Waken! Unite! Then, like the sea,
Thou are resistless. Lo! the hour
Is ripe. The hands of Time and Fate
Point to the dawn; and from its sleep
Of ages, heavy-eyed and late,
But not too late its tryst to keep
Great Labor wakes and, with wide eyes
Of wonder, sees his giant form,
Begins his force to realize;
And, looking on the pygmy swarm
Which fattens on him, and with chains
Of golden tissue binds his Drawn
And its colossal strength restraints,
Laughs, half in rage and half in scorn;
And, breaking, one by one the bands
Of minted gold his own hand wrought,
Rises triumphant, proudly stands
Upon the world his toll hath bought
And paid for many times in coin.

of Hart in the last campaign: Hart
Made Good!" if so ask yourself that
question and see if he has and try
to think of one thing which he has
done for you or for the producing
class except to do you harm and
put more taxes on the small proper
ty holder by instigating the civil
code if that's what he calls making
good then let's have no more of him
or his kind but put your own men
there that will legislate for you and
not for the sawdust ring.
And now to think after two years
of Kink Louis reign of Tyranny
that our present sheriff of this coun-
ty should come out with campaign
card which has on it:
"The sheriff that's made good"
He should have added one more
word-"m money!.

AMERICAN MULTI
MILLIONARES

Information which has been long
desired by persons seeking to be in
formed on economic topics-especial-
ly the distribution of wealth among
the American peoples at last avail
able in work recently published.
The authority who vouches for
the reliability of the information is
Henry H. Klein, who held the posi-
ton of first deputy commissioner of
accounts of the city of New York.
Mr.. Klein has, by reason of his posi-
tion and his occupation of public ac-
countant, been in a position to ac-
quire what may be considered as
nearly first-hand information on the
topic of which he treats as anyone
who has brought his information to
the attention of the public.
The foreword to "Dynastic Ameri-
ca and Those Who Own 1t" runs:
During the past quarter of a
century, in fact since the Civil War,
a power has grown up in this coun-
try that is greater than the govern
ment. 1t is the power that Abraham
Lincoln warned against and that
Theodore Roosevelt called the IN
visible Government 1t is the power
of great Wealth, lodged in the
hands of the Few, welded for their
benefit and against the interest Of
ALL the people.
"Here for the first time is told
who constituted that Great Power,
Here is shown who those individuals
are and of what their wealth con-
sists. Here are shown the details OF
their possession, and the fact that
excessive private fortunes are in the
hands of the second. third, fourth
and fifth generations, who eXerted
little or no effort to obtain them"
According to the analysis made by
Mr.. Klein America is ruled now by
certain dynasties. These are dynas-
ties of enormous wealth, which are
now seen to descend from father to
son. The analysis shows the follow
ing dynasties in this country:
The Dynasty of Oil.
The Steel Dynasty.
The Coal Dynasty.
The Beef Dynasty.
The Copper Dynasty.
The Railroad Dynasty.
The Dynasty of Ships.
The Dynasty of Tobacco.
The Dynasty of Rubber.
The Dynasty of Sugar.
The Dynasty of Gas, Electric Light
and Traction.
The Dynasty of Telephone and
Telegraph.
The Dynasty of Gunpowder and
Firearms.
"There are scores of lesser dynas-
tic rulers" adds Mr.. Klein, "whose
wealth is estimated in the tens of
millions, but whose rulership is only
subordinate to those of greater for
tune"
In the section on the estimated
wealth of the richest families some
interesting and important informa-
ton is brought out for the first
time. The estimates are made, not
on individuals in families. but on the
families. Some of them are:
$2,500,000, 00-Rockefeller, John
D.
$500 100000 each-Astor. Dupont,
Guggenheim, Vanderbilt.
100000 0000-Harkness.
$300,000,000 each-Mellon, Pratt,
Weyerhauser.
$20O,OOOO0O each-Armour, Ford,
Goelet. Morgan, PayneWhitney
Rockefeller (Wm).
$150,000,000 each-Baker. Brady,
Carnegie. Clark, Field, Flick. Gould,
Hartman. Hill, Swift, Taylor-Pyne,
In addition are shown IA families
owning S100,0O0,000 each; 21 own
ing $75,OOO,OOO each; SO owning
$50,000,00O each; and 361 owning
$20000,000 each. The multitude of

small fry owning under $20,O00,000
each is not even shown, but a recent
government report states that the
total number of millionaires is now
over $4,000.
A detailed schedule is given of
each of the largest estates which
have been inherited, and of the ram
ifications of the control of the steel,
copper, oil and many other indus
tries. 1t is made plain how the
banks are controlled and by whom.
Chapters appear showing the great
fortunes engaged in foreign trade,
how the politics of the country are
controlled by those of excessive for
tune, and giving statements by prom
inent men to the effect that private
fortunes of such magnitude are an
injury to the country.

GOVERNMENT
BY THE PEOPLE
BY A, ]. TAYLOR

During the past year no legisla-
ton favorable to labor has been Sc
cured. The attitude of national,
state. and local authorities has stiff
fened against labor. Employers as
sociationS and their branches have
been active. and to a considerable eX-
tent successful in their attacks on
unionism. and public sentiment has
become lukewarm toward labor
There has been great suffering from
unemployment. and little effort to-
ward abating the evil. The courts
have usurped more and more power,
always to use against the workers.
Wages have been deflated very sue
cessfully. For months employers
, have been saying that when railway
mems wages were cut. labor would
accept further reductions all along
the line.
This is the record achieved under
the "historic" political policy of la
Dor. There is a drawing together of
the employers, and a hardening class
present deflation struggle. The
proving, and they have learned how
to make the most of propaganda.
To offset this labor will have to
develop better leadership. better
strategy. if it is even to hold its
own. Bettering its condition is en-
tirely out of the question unless it
betters its methods.
The present technique of the un-
ions is based on the business meth
ods of last century. Every producer
strove for his own advantage at the
expense of the rest. Trades unions
adopted the same principle. They
were bent on establishing standards
of wages and performance, and
stopped at that. Production and
marketing were left to the employ
ers. This is so much true today,
that the forming of tariff. a mat
ter so vital to labor. is supposed to
be purely between the employers
and the public. Labor is given no
place in the transaction, nor at pres
ent does it care for such a place.
Labor will always have to concern
itself with rates of pay and stand
ards of work. But labor must re-
member that the policies of the gov.
ernment affect it directly, as in the
present wage deflation. This de.
mands that labor assume a different
attitude toward government and poll
ties than its old policy, which was
more or less effective last century
before the employers combined in the
one big union of the exploiters, the
National Chamber of Commerce.
The labor movement of the future
will have to supplement collective
bargaining with vigorous political
action and cooperation in producing
and marketing. Unions of produc.

Today it is reported that the gov
ernment will seize the coal mines.
The government is a business" gov
ernment, controlled by a closely
united minority of the people. ii
such seizure is made, it is certain
that it will be in the interests Of the
o. B. U. of capital, and not in the
interests of the workers who have,
for various reasons, not the least Of
which is their own mistaken methods,
very little share in the government.
Shortly we may hear that the rail-
roads will be seized by the same gov
ernment. If so, we may be sure that
such seizure will not be for the pur-
pose of establishing the Plumb Plan.
The government should seize the
mines and the railroads, but it should
be a peoples government that does
this, in the interest of the people,
and not a business government, in
the interest of Wall street.

THAT COURT HOUSE RING

Have you noticed that nearly al
the candidates that have declared
themselves for office are the same
old bunch that's been up there all
the time, only the deputies are run
ming for the office this time and the
ones holding office now will be the
deputies and in some cases they want
to get little higher by being pro-
NOTED to state offices after holding
down county berths since Snohomish
county was a pup.
Let's sec a new set of faces and
names at our county building this
next year and give the old ones a
good long rest, for they have served
US so long they surely need long
vacation.
