ard Of living thru savings accounts,
the working class should constantly
strive to obtain more of the product
of its labor so that living would be
more tolerable.
THERE is one system of saving that
will benefit the worker, but the
greedy capitalist class never recon-
mends this efficient kind of saving.
The worker cannot save by working,
for his sole wealth is his labor-power.
If he saves intelligently he will pre-
serve this sole wealth of his, instead
Of playing the doh and squandering it
in the interest of the capitalist class,
only to be thrown on the industrial
scrap heap when the last bit of en-
ergy in his body is distilled into
profits. The worker should save his
physical energy by refusing to so ex-
haust himself in one day that he
cannot recuperate for the following
day. Workers can save intelligently
only by fighting to reduce the hours
they spend in the slave pens of in
dustry, so that they may have more
leisure, live longer and conserve their
vitality, physical and mental, which
they sell to the bosses. They should
strive for higher wages, not to save
money, but to live better and longer.
Hard work only increases the prof
its of the capitalist class and saps
the energy of the working class. In
stead of being concerned over the
natural resources" which are con-
trolled by the capitalist class, the
working class and their children
should be shielded from the frightful
devastation of child slavery.
The one method for the workers
most effectively to conserve its re-
sources is to drive out the capitalist
class as owners of industry and turn
production from profit into production
for use. Against the poison propa-
ganda of the capitalist class we raise
the slogan for the workers to rally
to labor party of their own, so that
they can definitely break with the
old parties of capitalism that exist to
conserve the interests of the capital
lists and destroy the lives of the work
ers. With that accomplished the FIRST
step in the direction Of working class
political action among the broad
masses can be realized AS Commun-
lists we consciously strive to lead the
masses forward to the revolutionary
overthrow of the capitalist govern
ment that defends and protects the
despoilers of the working class and
establish in its place the Soviet gov
eminent of the United States.

TO Be CHANGED
Orr Says Employees Are Over
charging State.

Alleging the State is being over
charged thousands Of dollars an
nually by State employees who use
their own automobiles in their work.
Lawrence r. Orr, chief examiner of
the State board of accounts, today
declared an immediate revision
would be made of the schedule
through which reinbursements on
automobile expenditures are made.
Under the old schedules, from ten
to fifteen cents mile is allowable
on privately-owned cars used by
State employees. The new schedule,
Orr declared, will limit the relm-
bursement to regular railroad fare
when rail travel is available.
1t has been figured that four cents
mile is sufficient to cover the cost
of operating an ordinary automobile,
together with depreciation, Orr
pointed out.

EAST LAS VEGAS. New Mexico,
Aug. 22.-Carl c. Magee. editor of
the New Mexico State Tribune, was
placed under formal arrest today on
a warrant charging him with
murder, in connection with the
shooting to death of John B. Lassiter
here last night.
Lassiter was killed by a stray bull
let from Magee's pistol during a
fight between the editor and former
district judge, ]. D. Leahy, his po-
littcal enemy. Magee was not jailed.
but permitted to remain in his hotel
room, where he is suffering serious
injuries inflicted by Judge Leahy,
who attacked and beat him.
Magee had instructed his at
torneys to insist upon his formal ar
rest, arraignment and commitment
to the grand jury. He said he
wished the record cleared i'm
mediately.
Takes Warming as Joke
According to the account of an
eyewitness, Magee was sitting on
n lounge in conversation with w
S. Patterson of Albuquerque, when
Lassiter and Judge Leahy entered.
Patterson, seeing the newcomers,
turned to the editor and said:
There's your old pal. Leahy; you'd
better watch out"
Magee smiled and appeared to
take the warning as a joke.
Leahy and Lassiter passed by Ma
gee and the former turned, and
without giving the editor a chance
- defend himself, struck Magee a
heavy blow with his fist on the side
Of the head. A second blow knocked
Magee to the floor.
As the editor arose Leahy at
tackled Magee, witnesses said, kick
ing and cursing him.
Lassiter stepped forward to pull
Leahy away just as Magee pulled
his gun and fired.
Mrs. Patterson, who had watched
the afray, ran forward and caught
Lassiter as he fell. He died just as
physician arrived a few minutes
later
