Develops New Roads

A sledged stone base, with rene
tration macadam or asphaltic con
crete surface, has been adopted as
a standard type of construction on
highways by the Missouri State
Highway Department. On the po-
rous, easily drained soils in large
sections OF the state these bases are
standing up in an excellent manner
and are being laid at an appreciable
saving. According to Missouri high.
way officials quarry rock that is too
soft to provide crushed stone can
be readily applied to the sledging
base. Both limestone and sandstone
have been used in Missouri with
success.

n fR. MELLON has
M defined the issue
of tax reduction
with admirable concise
ness and clarity. No one
who reads his letter to
Chairman Green can
have any doubt as to
what the exact question
is which the American
people, through their
representatives in Con-
gress, are called upon to
decide. Their problem
is simply to determine
whether they will have
their taxes reduced to
the extent of $330,0N,-
600, or whether they
prefer that this great
sum be swallowed up by
increasing the expendi-
tt1res of the Government.

This is the fifth Of the delays whicf
have held up the inquest over the
body Of Bajur and the trial of Norman
since Lawrence Packwood, American

case be postponed, on the sole grouno
that Norman is an exservice man and
has held posts in the Legion.
Packwood has not appeared in court,
saying that he believed his duty fin
ished when he had obtained delay.
"In shooting Bajur, Norman did only

defense. Had he not done this, hs
might have found himself charged
with an equally serious offense = the

Grange Master
In 1918 patriotic people came to Mr..
Bouck, who at that time headed the
Non Partisan league in Washington
asking him to sign statement to the
effect that the league was disloyal
and seditious organization. Bouck
told them to go to hell.
In 1921 Mr.. Bouck, as master OF the
State Grange meeting in Cloville,
Washington, made a speech attacking
American militarism. For this he was
expelled by the national Grange, and
later formed the Western Progressive
Farmers OF Washington, an associa-
ton which has grown rapidly and at
present controls the Farmer-Labor
party OF the western state.
Progressive Farmers
The statement OF principles OF the
Western Progressive Farmers sets
forth nine demands: social use OF com
modities socially produced; issuance Of
money by the federal government
alone and the granting Of credit on
equal terms by the government;
government ownership and operation
OF all means OF transportation and com
munication: government confiscatior
OF private industrial monopolies; rigid
enforcement OF the prohibition law;
abolition OF unearned incomes; cooper
alive means of production and distri
button; opposition to imperialist wars;
organization to bring about these re
suits thru use Of the ballot.
In response to question about the
anti-militarist policy of the organiza
ton, Mr.. Bouck said that any man In

GREETING TO ST.
PAUL CONVENTION

Machinists' Local Nc 47e at their
last meeting sent greetings to the st.
Paul convention. The local told the
convention that they hoped their de-
alterations would result in the forma-
ton of National FarmerLabor par
ty. The resolution was passed unani-
mously.
Barney Koretz, fighting militant,
was elected as delegate to the Inter
national Association of Machinists'
convention to be held in Detroit in
September. Koretz was in charge of
the machinists' end of the railroad
shopmen's strike in the Chicago dis
trict in 1922
Koretz said that he would stand
for every progressive measure at the
convention. He will advocate the
changing Of the constitution so as to
break the hold Of the Grand Lodge
machine on the organization. He will
fight for the amalgamation of all rail-
road unions and for an organization
drive in the steel industry.
Organizer Olchon of the A. F. Of L.

need of a strong drive in the steel

BOUCK URGES BIG FARM UNION

the constitution Of the Western Pro
gressive Farmers is remade every five
years.
An advantage Of membership in the
organization, Mr.. Bouck said, was that
any member holding membership
card, can obtain five percent reduc-
ton In purchasing commodities thru
cut the state of Washington.
]. H. Anderson, president OF the
Snohomish county local OF the Pro-
gressive farmers. spoke Of his trip east
to st. Paul. He said he had passed
thru the richest agricultural districts
of the nation, in which 93 to SO percent
of the farmers we're heavily in debt to
the Federal Reserve.
When the Washington delegation left
the state it was said they were sub
sidized by the Communist Information
al. "This," said Anderson, Il am sorry
to say is not true"
Industrialized Farms
Anderson predicted that in short
time the farms would be industrialized
with all the efficiency Of trust con
trolled factory. The only way for the
farmers to counterfeit this was thru
the formation of cooperative producing
and marketing societies, several o.
which he described in detail.
In concluding the meeting. o. 7
Ramsay, Minnesota farmer. made al
analogy between the Communist scare
at the convention and the defeat o
Olaf OF Norway in trying to recaptur'
his kingdom in 1880. Olaf refused thu
help OF a Swedish army because thu
Swedes were not baptized, and conse
quently was defeated and killed. TIL

made TO make the Western Progressiv
