the delegates was overwhelmingly in
favor of the home idea.
In adopting a pension system the
convention voted that any member
past 65 years old, finding himself un-
able to command a living wage, and
who has been a member of the Union
for thirty years, shall be entitled to
pension equal to one-half of the
minimum wage in his district. 1t was
ruled that a members wife could ac-
company him to the home, providing
she was 55 years old and had been
his wife for ten years.
Union To Decide Convection Place
The general executive board of the
Union was empowered by the con-
vention, subject to a referendum vote
by the local unions, to call the next
quadriennial convention at Lakeland,
Fla, near which the Brotherhood
home is situated, instead of Indian
apohs. Considerable opposition was
voiced against meeting the next time
in Florida, but the question was left
to vote of the locals.
The convention took no action on
the subject of wage scales, inasmuch
as such matters are regulated in the
districts directly.

and the small home builder.
Savings and loan societies have two
functions. First of all they help the
average man, the wage Garner or the
salaried man to buy or build home.
This side Of the work goes further
than mere help; it means urging peo-
pie to respect, to desire and acquire
homes. This is best illustrated by
the slogan Of the American Building
Association News, 1.-THE national saw
ings and loan trade journaD: "The
American Home-the Safeguard of
American Liberties" Building homes
means something besides making
better citizens. It means more pros
pefity-every dollar loaned out by the
Savings & Loan means a dollar for
the plumbers, painters, carpenters,
masons, material men and so on
every line of endeavor is benefited.
The most important work of the
savings and loan is educating and
urging people to save. There is no
institution that more earnestly and
genuinely advocates thrift. 1t
breaches the gospel from the cradle
to the grave.
Now, preaching thrift or any other
subject is not effective unless sub
stantial rewards Of some character
are offered. The savings and loan
offers much.
First Of all, it offers safety; sec
ondly, the savers money is always
available where he needs it, and last
but not least, it pays fair rate Of
dividend or interest. In the state
of Washington the average rate is
nearly 6 per cent.
From the practical side it might
be well to mention that most Of the
savings and loan societies in Wash
ington operate on what is known as
the Dayton plan. There is no men,
bership fee; no fines or forfeitures
of any kind. Anyone can open an ac-
count for s1.O0 or more; deposits
may be made at any time and with
drawn at any time; every body re-
ceives the same rate of dividend,
there being no preferred stockholders
to receive part Of the profits; the de-
positors get all their money can
earn with absolutely safety. Elk
penses are limited by law and all EN-
plOyes are under bond to assure
honesty in handling the peoples
money.
It has been said that "there is
no safety known like savings and
loan" Last year over ten thousand
savings and loans in the United
States with nearly seven million, six
hundred thousand members and over
three and half billion dollars in as
sets (more than the combined capital
stock Of all the national banks in the
United States) made losses for their
ldepositors Of less than 1000 Of 1
per cent. Failures are practically I'M
known. The late James F. I,eghorn,
supervisor Of savings and loans in
Washington wrote as follows: 1--WE
have had no failures in the past five
years. We have had three associa-
tions Iquidate and all members have
been paid out in fun and dividends
ranging from 9 per cent to Is per
lcent paid them in addition. Our as

sociations, with two exceptions, are
operating on what is known as the
Dayton plan, very similar to the
Massachusetts Mutual Savings banks,
and while our associations have been
safe and sound with no risk to in
vestors, this is to be marveled at
the more when we consider that, in
the last two years we have had nine
teen bank failures with losses run
ming into the millions, right in our
own state"
This safety comes from state SUI
pervision; the strict limitation of the
Investments of the savings and loans
and the economical and efficient nan
agement enjoyed by them. It is large
ly because they are safe that they
have grown so rapidly in the last
few years. The increase in assets in
the state of Washington alone during
the last year was over $4,000, 900,
bringing the total to over fifty mil
lions.
Another important reason for their
growth lies in the fact that they are
strictly mutual, offering the poor
man an equal chance with the rich,
and working primarily in his behalf.
The savings and loan has, in fact,
been called "the poor mans bank. .
Men and woman all over the coun-
try who know the savings and loans
are daily urging people to invest their
savings in local honaqflv MANAGED
institutions and depositors themselves
are helping spread the news, telling
their friends that "there is no safety
known like savings and loan"
This educational work is bearing
fruit that is worth while. Il is not
only spreading the idea Of mutual
savings for the benefit Of the small
saver, but it is putting more money
in circulation for working people
money invested in homes.
In closing it might be well to warn

CHICAGO LABOR FORCES
FOR bob: REDS BEATEN

By international Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-The Chi
cago Federation of Labor endorsed
the La Toilette Wheeler presidential
ticket at the conclusion of a spec
tacular fight staged by the commu-
nists, the vote standing 1872 to 10 in
favor Of endorsement. The commu-
nists bitterly assailed La Toilette and
also Len Small, republican governor
of Illinois, who was endorsed for re-
election.
"You are simply disappointed be-
cause La Toilette did not permit you
TO nominate him at your st. Paul
convention" said E. H. NOckles, sec
rotary of the Federation, in replying
to the communists. "You wanted to
make use of his name, to bolster up
your hopeless cause, and because he
turned you down you are sore. AS to
Governor Small" continued Nockels,
you simply show yourselves to be in
CRATES. You came to me when your
comrades were in prison and asked
me to intercede with the governor.
l did as you asked and the governor
pardoned those men. Now you are
showing how ungrateful you can be
by doing all you can against Governor
Small"
"You communists have bored from
within until you have bored your
selves clean on the outsidel" shouted
Anton Johanhsen, delegate from
the Carpenters union.
"You are afraid to let the world
know how few you are. You know
that the coming election is going to
show you up, and that is what is
worrying you. You wanted to use
La Follette's name, and because he
wouldn't let you do that, now you
abuse him."

The figures, which are based on re-

fires, which were handlde by mem
bers of the U. s. Forest Service, have
covered a total area of 76,4O1 acres
in the National forest regions of
Oregon and Washington, up to Au-
gust 20. Forty-three per cent of this
was National forest land; Id per cent
was private land inside National for
est boundaries, and AZ per cent pri-
vate land outside and adjacent to
National forests.
Damage figures have not yet been
computed. Forest officers state that
many Of the fires caused damage to
young growth and reproduction on cut
or burned over land. From an eco
nomic standpoint, this is serious. The
burning of young growth prevents,
or greatly retards, natural refores-
tation, and is a vital blow to the fu-
ture of permanent forest industries,
it is said.

LONE STAR STATE ELECTS
ma FERGUSON GOVERNOR

For the first time in the history OF
Texas a woman, Mrs. Marian A. Fer
guson was elected governor Nov. 4.
Distinction of having a woman chief
executive may be shared with Wyom-
ing, however, where Mrs. Nellie Ross
was a candidate for governor.
Both are Democrats and the hus-
bands of both have been governors of
their respective states. Mrs. Ferguson
generally was called "Ma" by reason
of her initials. Her opponent was DR..
George G. Butte, Republican.
Mrs. Ferguson went through three
bitter campaigns, not from a desire to
hold office, but in an effort to vindi-
cate the Ferguson family name. Her
husband, James e. Ferguson, was i'm
peached when governor and was I'M
able to get his own name on the bal
lots as a candidate. She had to sur
vive two primaries and the final cleo
ton to win.
Their opponents charged that if Mrs.
Ferguson was elected, her husband
would actually be governor. The
charge was vigorously denied by both.
During most of the campaign Mrs.
remained in Temple caring
for her home and doing her accus-
toned homework. She is the mother
of two daughters, n of whom Is mar
ried and lives in Austin.

New York.-Besides the avalanche Of

was notable for the fact that more
people exercised their right of fran
chise than at any other time in the
history of the nation.
In all parts of the country except

won a sweeping victory. President

John w. Davis leads in states only
known as irrevocably Democratic.
Even then he lost Kentucky, on the
face of unofficial returns, although
Cox had carried 1t against Harding in
1920. The same returns indicated that
he had brought back into the Demo
cratic fold two of the states taken
away by NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and

Senator La Toilette, while polling a
popular vote of about 100000, which
appropriated R%oosevelt's total when
he led a third party movement in 1912,
was assured the electoral vote of only
n state-Wisconsin Roosevelt sue
ceeded in capturing SO electoral votes
In 1912-enough to defeat his Republi-
can opponent, Taft, and elect his Dem
Ocratic adversary Wilson.
1t is estimated that Coolidge polled
more than were given to Harding.
Davis, it is estimated, has 100000 as
against 100000 for Cox.

Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, widow of
the late Governor William B. Ross,
by virtue Of ballots cast by the Wyom-
ing electorate at Tuesdays election,
stepped into the office made vacant by
the death of her husband a month ago.
While returns were not complete an
ever-increasing lead indicated that
Mrs. Ross would carry the state by a
majority not far below 10000 votes.
Her Republican opponent, Eugene J..
Sullivan, of Basin, capitulated and con-
coded defeat in a telegram Of con-
graduation sent Mrs. Ross.
ut is indeed a high honor Mrs.
Ross told the Associated Press shortly
after receiving Mr.. Sullivan's telegram.
"And l shall try to deserve it. 1t was
only a peculiar tragic turn Of events
that has made me governor of this
tate for of my own vwolition I never
should have sought public office. My
friends insisted that it was the wish Of

it also was the wish of the people of

well as in our family affairs.
Mrs. Ross will be the first woman
ever to assume the office of governor
of al American state, despite the cleo
ton of Mrs. Marin A. Ferguson, in
Texas. Whether she will take office
at once, or await the regular time-the
first Monday after the first of the year
makes no difference, for in either
event, she will be sworn into office be-
fore the Texas woman assumes her
duties January %, 1925.
Mrs. Ross election marks a peculiar
turn in Wyoming's political history.
She is the third Democrat ever to be
governor of the state as well as
the first woman to receive the highest
office in the power of Wyoming
Her election pays an added tribute
to the womanhood of the state, since
