On December both irrigation districts
will hold election. On the Highlands, j. A.
Mclean is now serving on the board.
In the Columbia irrigation district James
Johnston has announced his candidacy to
succeed himself. He will be opposed by C. J.
Dahlin of Hover, who has agreed to serve, if
elected
Mr.. Johnston has been on the board for
eight or nine years and his activities are
well known. Mr.. Dahlin served on the board
as representative from the lower end of the
district for more than year. During that
time he acquired wide knowledge of the af-
fairs of the district and was acknowledged
to be one Of the best directors the district
had ever had
While making no personal campaign for
the position, Mr.. Dahlin's friends have urg-
ed him to make the race, knowing from his
service ON previous boards that he possesses
an unusually keen, analytical mind, excellent
business judgment and wide knowledge
Of general conditions. They claim that he
cannot be influenced by personal prejudices,
has no ak to grind at the expense of the dis
trict, is open and above board in all his trans
ctions withal economical to degree. They
point out that his election to the board will
end the strife which has marked the actions
of the board for the past year or so, will
solve satisfactorily the question of geogra-
ply and at the same time secure for the dis
trict one of the best directors ever to sit up
on the board.
Landowners should give serious thought
to the selection of the board member this
year, for with the new work, and its attend
ant dangers and the refinancing plans it is
a critical time and only the very best talent
available should be selected.

VALUE OF LOCAL NEWSPAPER
OF what value is newspaper to its COM
munity?
A newspaper can't build a town; it can't
make good one out of bad one; it can't
make town grow. It can't bring factories !;
it can't improve the schools; it can't rebuild
churches and enlarge the congregations. It
can't defeat bad candidates for office and it
can't elect good ones, at least very often.
But newspaper canencourage people. A
newspaper can be the eyes and the voice of
the community. It can watch the trend Of af-
fairs; it can note the important things other
communities are doing; it can keep the peo-
pie posted, and then it can lead the way
A newspaper can point the way, it can
show how things can be accomplished, it can
create wholesome atmosphere in which peo-
pie can realize the beauties and joy of life,
and then progress is made.
Can any other institution render greater
service to humanity?
Shaw said 'The profession of journalism
God help it" say to the rural and small
city publishers who have an honest deter
mination to get ahead, whose ambition is to
render service, and whose hearts are filled
with joy, "The profession of journalism

forgets that it was the reckless driving that
he was doing on the level roads that burned
out the bearings Of the overheated engine.
Now the engine and driver both have time
to cool off, the mechanic has got the machin-
cry tinkered so that start may be made on
the journey. But there is long hill ahead
that will test the soundness of the machinery
and the skill of the driver. It may be that
the old bus will not dash up the hill in high
with her usual pep, but she will make it in
lower gear.
What the old business bus needs now is a
and not lot of mile-a-minute driving with
frequent stops at roadhouses for refresh

The city has received numerous complaints
this week over the sentence given the two
youths who were convicted of second degree
assault. The mayor and the city council
have nothing whatever to do about the size
of the fines or sentences. The limits are
clearly defined by statute.
The function of the CHEEKY little T. B.

large percentage of the money received
from the sale remains in the community
makes it a lot easier to complete the pur-

RABBIT DRESSERS|

der NTWIU Leader
ship

NEW YORK.-The Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union is conduct
ing strike against the S. K. g. S.
Fur Rabbit Dressing Company, To-
Gated on Logan Ave, Jersey City.
The strike was called against the at
tempt on the part of the firm to re-
duce the price for fleshing white rab-
bit skins, from $2,15 to $1.6O per
hundred.
Mr.. Moe Harris, Kaufmans agent
is now sending scabs to break the
strike. The strikers issued a leaflet
to the fur dressers in which they
pointed out that a wage cut in the
rabbit dressing trade will eventually
result in a wage cut for all workers
employed in the fur dressing trade.
Moe Harris is trying to create the
impression that he does his scab work
in the interests of the members of
the company union, but even a child
can understand that if the strike is
broken, ana wage cut takes place,
the cut will effect all workers in the
trade.
The strikers therefore call upon the
members of the company union to
fight against the scab activity of
kaufman and Moe Harris, and to
join the workers of the S. K. & S. on
the picket line and support their
strike.

FRIDAY MORNING
Against Murderers of
japanese Workers

NEW YORK-The American i'm
perialists are ready to greet with
royal splendor two blazoned repre-
sentatives of the Japanese imperial
lists. AS it can be easily inferred, they
are not hindered in this instance by
their theology of race superiority.
This theology is fostered by the i'm
periaiists in order to Justify" the
persecution and deportation of Jap
anese workers who dare to voice their
protest against the ruthless exploita-
ton to which they are subjected in
this land Of liberty"
If the workers think that such an
theology is fostered in order to pre-
vent the Americans from having any
contact" with elements of an Gin
ferior race" they are mistaken. The
fact that the American imperialists
are anxious to receive with open arms
two royal Japanese parasites, shows
that race superiority" is merely a
smoke screen behind which the capt.
talists want to hide the class nature
of the shameless discrimination
against Japanese workers. 1t shows,
moreover, that this race superiority"
is a genuine capitalist lie, which the
workers must recognize as such in
order not to fall under its sinister
influence.
The Committee for the Protection
of Foreign Born calls upon all work
ers to close their ranks, to intensity
the struggle against deportation and
persecution of militant workers and
to voice their mighty protest against
the two royal guests" who, regard
less Of their color, are just as MUIR
derous as the American imperiahsts.

bany, etc, to demand unemployment insur-
ance are set upon by the police, by state
troopers and other so-called peace officers,
are dubbed gassed and threatened with ma
chine-guns. And as it's GROWING infamy,
bestial lynchngs become more and more
systematic anti-working class pogroms or
gained by American capitalism. In the
first three months of 1881 ten Negro work
ers fell victim to such capitalist murders.
Many other unsuccessful lynching attacks
were made during the same time against
Negro and white workers.
American capitalism, though it boasts of
being the richest in the world, seems to stand
helplessly before the problems of it's crisis.
It's inyioabe commandment is: "Thou shall
make profit! To increase its profits, capital
ism rationalizes production. Naturalization
in turn throws the workers out of their Jobs.
Yet at the first sign of the crisis, more ra-
tionalization was resorted to as a means of
''cheapening" production. Thus the capital
list remedy for unemployment became more
discharges of the workers, more unemploy-
ment
Wage cuts are continuously carried thru
to increase profits. Wage cuts diminish the
buying power of the workers. Yet at the
first sign of the crisis, more systematic wage
cuts were forced thru as means of cheap
ening" production. Thus, the capitalist
remedy for a narrowing market became a
further narrowing of the market, deepen
ing of the crisis.
The outstanding characteristic of CAPT
talist action in the present crisis is refusal
of systematic relief for the starving workers
and an attack instead all along the line, on
the wage, living and working standards of
the working masses.

New War In the Making

This condition is aggravated by most in
tense preparations for new imperialist
war. Our capitalist masters want to en-
large their shrinking markets by means of
new imperialist conquests. First of all, they
want to participate in an international capt.
talist intervention in the Soviet Union, with
the aim of taking Russia from the working
class to make it again the object of capital
list exploitation. To this end, battleships
are being built; new war chemicals and
poison gases are being developed the nation
is being militarized to degree unknown in
the period before the "war to end all vars;
an official war hysteria turns into high
treason every form of opposition to imper-
ialist war-even before the war is formally
declared; preparedness" becomes an excuse
for the systematic fascination of the govern
ment with an equally systematic suspension
of all supposed constitutional, popular rights.

Capitalists Attack Workers

These miserable conditions have been
used by the American capitalists as signal
to slash wages in all industries In coal
mining, these slashes reduced wages more
than half. The old wage-scales in the build
ing trades are formally maintained as fig

bosses. Five workers, four men and
one woman, all members of the Ma

charge of murder in connection with
the death of a silk boss, where
strike was in progress.
All five members, especially Com
rade Leib, are we'll konwn to the
silk and dye workers of Paterson for
their activities in many strikes and
struggles since 1924. Therefore it is
no accident that the silk bosses, who
fear and hate the militant National
Textile Workers Union, to strike fear
into the hearts of the silk workers
by framing its most active members
and thus prevent the organization
from entering a successful campaign
to organize the dyers-the most ex-
plotted section of the silk industry,
and all other crafts.

with the I. l.. D.. have arranged a
