Party.
The announcements by Dis
trict Organizer John j. BALKAN
that Foster and, CitIow cleo
tors and a full state Workers
Party ticket will go on the ballot
in Massachusetts is getting
close to home. The home of
Goldfish, Coolidge and his "com-
mon sense" government.
Boston and New England has
determined the major portion of
the policies enunciated as the
common sense" government Of
Calvin Coolidge in his Labor
Day address. Coolidge's com
mon sense" is just so much non
sense when he says:
"One of the outstanding features of
the present day is that American
wage earners are living better than
at, any other time in our history. They
have not only retained but actually in
creased the gain that they made dur.
ing the war.
-. We have here in the
United States not only the best paid
workers in the world but the best
paid workers that ever lived in the
world"
Birds of Feather.
In this same Labor Day address,
Coolidge boosted that one of his
hearers. T. v. O'Connor, formerly
president Of the Longshoremens' I'm
ion is now the head of the United
States Shipping Board. Boston and
New England longshoremen will re-
member the traitorous role played by
the same T. v. O'Connor in the ia
nous longshoremen's strike in 1920,
when the rank and file of the long
shoremen of the New England ports
had tied UP the entire shipping of
that section and when the strike was
spreading like wildfire all along the
Atlantic coast and over to the Pacific,
Mr.. O'Connor is the gentleman who
helped to smash this strike. This was
one of his principal recommendations
for the present Office he now holds,
to the late President Harding who ap-
pointed him. Now two strikebreaker
presidents go well together.
Cal Talks Thru His Derby.
Coolidge's nonsense about the in
crease in the, earning capacity of the
workers in shoe and textile industries
during and since the war will cause
nothing but cynical laughter from
these workers of New England when
they hear of that Coolidge Labor Day
message. Coolidge's common sense"
government is the government of the
Boston bankers, the New England
Textile, Shoe and Leather Trusts. 1t
is the government of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
which Calvin Coolidge, when but a
precinct lawyer, threw into the arms
of James Pierpont Morgan The

The announcement that the Work.

hero, Coolidge, puppet of the House
of Morgan.

Mattresses Fight to
a Three-ROund Draw

Amid the clatter of pots and pans,
and with the bare, bare floor for a
mat, two Mattresses fought to a draw
IN three hotly contested rounds in
the kitchen of a downtown restau-
rant last Tuesday evening. SO hot
a battle has not been waged in fis-
tic circles locally in decades. Some
thought this due to the heat of bat
tie, others blamed the nearby stove,
but all voted the scrap a hot sketch.
Both contestants forgot the for
mality of DOMINIC gloves; neither

Winter Maintenance
Not Now Possible

MANY of the eastern states are
faced with the question OF Keeping
the main roads open Tor traVel
throughout the winter months, in
volvinp the removal of snow after
each storm, thus adding a consider
able expense to the usual mainten-
ance program. Minnesota, for eX-
ample, estimates the cost of such
work on her 1000 mile state sys-
TEN, at half a million dollars, and
questions the wisdom OF such an
expenditure in consideration of the
winter traffic which is probably less
than 10 per cent of the summer traf-
fic. Assuming the length of the
winter season equal to that of the
summer season. according to their
figures, 81 per cent of all traffic is
accommodated without such work.
In Wyoming probably a still great
er percentage of the total annual
traffic is carried owe our roads dur
from May l to November l.. during
the summer. or driving season say
which time regular maintenance is in
force. During the winter months the
average individual, unless forced by
necessity, h~esitates to start out IN
a trip over roads where towns or
communities are separated by many
miles and where. i. caught in a bliz-
zard he runs the risk OF becoming
stalled, and perhaps frozen to death
before relief reaches him. Even in
case Of regular winter maintenance
such a danger exists under Wyoming
conditions. 1t therefore appears prac-
teal for the present to construct our
roads with a view to making them
as nearly Snow proof" as possible
(Which, however. cannot be done in
all cases) thus taking care of the
larger percentage of traffice without
the additional expense of regular
winter maintenance.
When the public decides thai traf-
fic really warrants the keeping
open of trunk routes in winter and
provides the necessary funds, the de-
partment will undertake the task.
1t is a matter of simple economies:
The public pays for what it gets.
Old territorial roads, and trails, the
arterial routes now making up a
large part of the main highway sys-

onlookers appointed themselves ref

But the final draw came when both
indignant Mattresses marched TO the
pay desk and drew their very last

Escapes From
Fast Train Sunday

Ellie Simms, middle aged col
ored man being taken to Evanston
from Sheridan. where he was ad-
judged insane by the district court
January 23, jumped from the win
dow of east bound No. 10 neal Fit.
Steele last Sunday evening, made
his way into the hills to the south
ward, and remained at liberty until
Tuesday morning, when he was pick
ed up by Sheriff Sanders in a half
frozen condition.
The train, making up time. was
travelling at a speed reported to be
not less than 60 miles an hour by
the engineer driving the locomotive,
and those in charge of the escaped
negro were much surprised at finding
him alive. Slight abrasions on the
hands and legs r the only marks
on Simms, telling of his flight and
landing.
Simms had no cap or hat, and he
wore no o%vercoat. When found, his
feet were both badly frozen. DR..
kell examined the injured members
Tuesday morning and ordered the
mar taken to the county hospital. 1t
is feared hat he will lose the right
foot. Sheriff U. A. C. Thomas, of
Sheridan county, who, with others,
was %escorting three prisoners to Ev-
anston, continued on to hat city as
soon as the negro was found.
The case of Ellie Simms versus
the State has caused much interest
in Sheridan. Simms brutally muir
dered his wife nearly a year ago
and it was this manner of the deed
which made authorities consider him
insane.

What Is Adjusted Compensation
(The Arkansas Legionnaire)

Inc al hdIlSdS Ice IOilIldlIeJ.
Before legionnaires con be expected
to defend or make an aggressive fight
In behalf of adjusted compensation
they must understand the measure
sponsored by the American Legion.
And to make the issue decisive. every
post should have at least two or
three legionnaires who can be ex-
pected to make five or ten minute
talk on adjusted compensation on any
occasion.
The following summary of the
measure has been given by Com
mander John r. Quinn, and should be
read carefully because 1t gives one
the measure at a glance:
Every American World War vet
eran up to and including the grade of
captain in the Army and the Marine
Corps and a lieutenant in the Navy
is entitled to an adjusted service
credit of $1.25 a day for service over
seas or af1oat and of s1.00 day for
home service by the terms Of the Ad-
iUstcd CONDENSATION Bill now before
Congress. From this credit. which
every veteran can compute for him
self If he remembers the important
dates of his service career, must be
deducted $4,000, representing the dis
charge bonus given every man on
leaving the service. Service must be
computed between the dates April 5.
1917. and July 1. 1919. The maxi
mum adjusted service credit to which
a veteran Is entitled is $500 for home
service and s625 for foreign service.
''The bill contains the following
provisions:

No factor OF business Is more In
terested In the preservation Of law
and order than Ia the banking instl-
tuition. Reports from this and other
states indicate that not all banks are
free from suspicion Of collision with
bootlegscrs. though the number of
these is doubtless small. Any is too
many.
To any such We would commend
the remarks OF Bishop William
Lawrence. speaking on the subject OF
enforcement at Trinity Church, Bos-
ton, Sunday evening":
"The officer of corporation. q
lawyer. q legislator. or any other
citizeh who wants the constitutional
amendment amended or Its enforcing
laws amended and he has a perfect
right to work for these. who breaks
these laws. who countenances or
connivcs at the sale or Illegal manu-
facture of Intoxicating liquor. has
lost his standing as a law abiding
citizen. He shows himself on that
point to be a disioyal citizen. :"
Bankers unable to see this, unable
to foresee that to which lawlessness
leads, are unit to have the custody
OF other peoples money. They are
not only disloyal. they are to be dis
trusted.

In fact Mr.. Perkins himself, dur

payable only to men whose adjusted
service credit, after deducting the
$4,000 discharge bonus, comes to
$4,000 or less. Roughly, 1t affects
only men who served less than four
months. (This provision must be ac-
cepted by veterans who are not en-
titled to more than s50.00)
SO. Adjusted Service Certificates.
These certificates are paid-up en-
dowment insurance policies. payable
at the end of twenty years to the
veteran if he is still alive, or. II he
dies in the interval to his estate. The
certificate would have a redemption
value at the end of the twenty year
period Of the adjusted service credit
plus 25 percent, the whole plus "A
percent interest compounded annual
ly.
This would come to 3.015 the value
Of the adjusted service credit. Ad-
justed service certificates would have
a loan value on the following basis:
For the first three years the certifi-
cate holder would be allowed to bor-
row from bank so percent OF the
value of his adjusted service credit
plus the interest thereon at Az per
cent compounded annually. From
suance of the certificate be could
borrow So percent of his credit plus
interest; after six years S7h percent
plus interest. In case of failure to
make payments on these loans when
due the veteran would not lose his
certificate. The Secretary of the
Treasury would be required to take
them up and veterans would have the
option of redeeming them by paying
lean and interest, this provision to
remain in effect during the twenty
year life of the certificate.
"3. Vocational Training Aid. This
provision allows the veteran to apply
his adjusted service credit, computed
in this option at $1.75 day. to COM
plete an education interrupted by the
war.
~. Farm, or Home Aid. Veter-
ans who wish to make improvements
or city or suburban homes, or pur-
chase or make payments on city
homes or farms or pay off landed In
debtedness. may receive for this
specific purpose adjusted service
credits based on length of service
plus 25 percent"
Remember this fact, legionnaires:
ONLY veterans who served less than
four months can accept cash, which
will be less than $50. and the entire
group entitled to this feature would
receive only $16000,000. The other
features are self-eXpianato tory. The
measure represents what the Ameri-
can Legion wants. Let's back 1T up
with every resource at our command.
