STUDY ELECTION LAWS
WORKERS ARE ADVISED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 16.-
Study all election laws and inform all
unions in your state how they may
vote for the La Follette-Wheeler
electors and the congressman and
senator's whose records are favorable
to labor, is the suggestion to secreta-
ries of all state declarations of labor
by the A. F. of L. non-partisan cam
paign committee.
Every effort should be made to
inform the workers to split or
scratch their ballots, when necessary
to do so, in order to vote for all the
candidates they desire to support"
the committee said.
The committee further recon-
mends:
Prepare a brief circular letter,
and in plain, simple terms state just
how the ballot should be marked and
send it to the secretaries of affiliated
unions in your state.
"Where the ballot is a complicated
one, the state organization should be
urged to consider the advisability Of
printing a sample ballot and have it
printed in the labor papers Of the
state or printed in the form of q
handful and give general distribu-
ton"

SANITARY UNION LABEL
IN GARMENT INDUSTRY

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Organ-
lied cloak makers and employers
have launched their sanitary union
label, under rules agreed to by both
parties. This label was one of the
recommendation by a commission
appointed by Governor Smith when
a general strike threatened several
weeks ago. The first label was plac-
ed in a cloak purchased by Mrs.
Smith, wife of the governor.
The label will not be used in any
shop which fails to comply with the
union regulations.
''The workers must bear in mind
that the introduction of the label
means the extinction of any shop
where non-union garments are made, +"
said Justice, official magazine of the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' union. 1.-THE sanitary union la
bel win make unnecessary the main
tanning Of picket committees around
these sweat shops; it will kill off, by
"a natural process, the demand for
such scab-made garments.

PORTLAND. Oct. 1s.-Numerons

vising that individual It is against his
best interest to favor q state COM
pulsory compensation law, which win
be passed upon By the people at the
fall election.

mercial hospitals out Of business and

has suddenly taken a grea interest
in the working man, who is assured
that the bill is "un-American in prin-
ican."
ton assures the nottingham that the
law win destroy competition, which
is essential to keeping business
healthy" The inevitable lawyer
bounces into the arena and sternly de-
clares that the proposal is "confs-
catory, unconstitutional and un-Amer-
ican.."
This advice is ignored by the or
ganized workers, who insist that they
be assured compensation in the event
of injury or death, and not be made
victims of private concerns who strive
to lower awards that their profits
will be larger.

The valuation Of the plant of the
Grays Harbor Railway & Light Co,
since 1919, for rate making purposes,
is the sum Of $1,634, 166.
Paying taxes on $419,178, which
is a 80 per cent valuation, makes a
total assessed valuation of $685., 1856.
Earning upon a valuation of 81 ,6S4, 166
shows that the company is paying tax
es really upon about % per cent of
its real value, instead of 90 per cent
which other property owners are re-
quired to pay under the law.
/ may say that the County Assessor
is not responsible for the assessed
valuation for taxation. This valua-
ton is fixed by the State Tax Com
mission.
Suppose the plant of the Grays Har-
Dor Railway & Light Co, was lifted
bodily from the tax rolls and electric
current was sold at cost in the three
cities, as well as in the other parts of
the country, in which they do not own
the plant. Then there would be an
equality of exemption from taxation
Throughout Grays Harbor county. The
tax payers of the county would not
have to pay any more taxes than
they are now paying. In fact they
would be paying less taxes. This is
true for several reasons.
The so per cent assessed valuation
of all Of the property in Grays Har-
Dor county is over 81 million dollars.
With the present so per cent assess
ed valuation of 1891 1853 on the cleo
trio system, it is apparent that it
represents less than l per cent of
the total assessed valuation Of the
County.
The increase in assessed valuation
of the county of 1881, 1853 would
easily flow from the establishment of
= single pulp and paper mill. The
numerous industries that would fol-
low the development of an abundance
of water and cheap power would many
times offset, in increased value of

WYNOOCHE POWER
BONE BILL:
By a EMERSON CROSS, CITY ATTORNEY.

In my fourth article / desire to dis
cuss the recently published advertise
ments of the Grays Harbor Railway
& Light Co. It has endeavored to es-
tablish that Initiative No. 81 win re.
move property from the tax rolls and
injure taxes.
It states in its advertisements that
It paid the sum of $4,000 as its
1924 taxes in Grays Harbor County,
representing 1-3Oth of all taxes paid.
The assessed valuation for the year
1924 of all the properties of the Grays
Harbor Railway & Light Co, in
Grays Harbor county, is as follows:
Aberdeen $276.65S, Hoquiam $124.076,
Cosmopolis s1s.444, Total $419.17S.
The assessed valuation of its rail-
way system was $s7,sO9. Its light
ing and power system 1891 1863, max
ing the total Of $419,173.
The assessed valuation of all tax
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-10-24


taxable wealth, that amount
! Tie increase in population Of the
Harbor cities would reflect itself, in
the increased wealth Of the Agricul-
tural districts Of the county. This
increased city population must inevi-
tably draw thereon for agricultural
products.
The industrial growth Of the cities
on Grays Harbor, only made possible
by such development, would also re-
bound to the benefit Of the aQricul-
tural communities Of the county.
The farmer would enjoy all the ad-
vancements in the electrical science
under the Bone Power Bill. This as
fully as the farmers Of Ontario do IN
der the great super-power system
operated by the Province Of Ontario.
Then, again, the eheapness Of the
power furnished by a municipality
owned plant would far offset the
$4,000 in taxes paid by the existing
utility. There would be no compare
son between the saving in rates and
the difference in taxes caused BY the
acquisition Of such plant for the ben
eft Of the people Of Grays HarbOr
county.
Take the assessed value of your
property and figure out what the
difference would be. Then compare
it with the difference in your light
bill. This is real test. Any other
is a deception.
A vote for Initiative No. 50 is Q vote
for the development of the Wynooche
Power Project. It is a vote for the
extension Of its fullest benefits
throughout Grays Harbory county.
This is only possible by the passage
of the Bone Power Bill, Initiative No.
81.

able property in the city Of Aberdeen,

The assessed value Of the light and
power plant of the Grays Harbor
Railway & Light Co., in Aberdeen, is
s193, 500. This only represents about
2h per cent of the total assessed
valuation. Therefore it only pays
about "a per cent Of the taxes up
on its electric system in Aberdeen.
It may be interesting to note the
assessed valuation of the plant Of
the Grays Harbor Railway & Light
Co., upon which it has been paying
taxes, for the last five years, on its
railway and power systems in Grays
Harbor county.
