EMPLOYEES MAY
VOTE ON UNIONS
BY NEXT WEEK
Collective Bargaining to
Be Settled by Poll of .
Workers.

Elections in several city mills and
factories to determine the attitude
of thousands of employees on repre-
sentation by a company union Or
an outside labor group for collec-
tive bargaining may be held next
week.
Following an announcement made
several weeks ago by J. w. Dewey,
national labor representative OF
NRA. plans for elections in several
Indianapolis mills and factories
have been completed. Dewey, who
made a preliminary inspection OF
indusrv in indianapolis recently.
is expected to arrive here from
Washington Monday.
Stricken with an attack Of bron-
chitis on his last visit to this city
three weeks ago, Dewey was forced
to return to Washington before,
finishing his work in Evansville,
where he had been asked to attempt
an adjustment of labor conditions.
Dewey CaIS EIeCtlOnS
In an exclusive statement to The
Times on his last visit, Dewey said
he would be forced to call elections
in several indianapolis plants due
to the divergent opinions as to
whether employees wanted company
unions or wished to be organized by
outside labor groups.
Mr.. Dewey, at that time. stated
that NRA leaves the matter of rep
resentation for collective bargaining
entirely in the hands of the ma
iority of workers in a concern.
A mass meeting of employees of six
indianapolis plants has been called
for Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m. in
Tomlinson Hall, according to an
announcement today by Fred Gal
loway, state representative and
labor organizer.
Give Ballot Instructions
Mr.. Galloway stated that the
meeting will be closed and will be
held for the purpose of instructing
employees in the use of the ballot
and other instructions for the forth
coming elections to be held under
auspices of Mr.. Dewey and other
NRA officials.
According to Galloway, employees
of the Real Silk Hosiery Mills, the
American Hosiery Mills Inc, the
National Hosiery Mills, the P. r.
Mallory Company, the United
States Rubber Company and the
Link Belt Company have been in
vited to attend the meeting.

ANOTHER CHANGE MADE

The Spokesman this week makes change that
to some may seem backward step, sign OF fall
ing vigor or interest on the part of the owners,
definite retracton Of the Spokesman standards
and ideas-the change from paper OF eight to
four pages
1t has long been matter Of pride to the Spokes-
man and to the members Of the communities it
serves. that an eight page paper 1t was
pleasing to the valleys vanity that we had good
sized paper when other communities with greater
population had but four or six page sheet. Wis
itors were likely to be impressed; it's size
reflected credit on the community as being up and
comng there was more of it to start fires with.
And, as one reader remarked eight pages feel
like something when you pick 'em up.
The Spokesman itself has taken pride in it's
eight pages, even though the inner four We're syn
dicated
Things have come to point, however, where
a reduction in overhead and stricter adherence
to fundamentals will result in increased service to
the community.
This change is not one that has hastily been
taken to save few dollars but one that is part
of definite, long planned program. After all, we
reasoned, the Spokesman really is more than
a four page paper. Only half of the matter it con-
tains is pertinent to this valley The rest of it is
of interest, but it isn't necessary.
A month or more ago the Spokesman initiated
plan of adding new type faces to it's equipment
for the convenience of those purchaing commercial
and social printing New type used for heads
on the paper giving it more attractive appear
ance The building was rearranged that it might
be efficient and put out better work. All
with the central idea of future expansion as the
valley grows.
Perhaps for few weeks the Spokesman will
seem smaller and of less value. But piqued
vanites recover their senses Of proportion, be-
heve that readers will feel with that this is
a change for the better.

Woman's Club
Prize Essay

Forrest Heath, sophomore at the
White Bluffs high school, was winner
of the essay contest sponsored by the
local Woman's Club. Out of thirty-five
essays written by pupils of all grades
of the high school, his was chosen as
having shown the most original
thought. His essay follows:
We are apt to think that Citizen"
means only grown people who can vote
in State and National elections. This
is mistake. All persons born or ma
turalized in the United States and sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof are
citizens of the United States and of
the state in which they reside. The
privileges and the duties of American
citizenship therefore, belong to the
youth of our country as we'll as to
the elders.
What are the privileges and duties
of American citizenship? What do we
mean by good citizen? What are the
outstanding qualities which good .citi-
zen should possess?
elementary principles of the govern
| ment under which we live. He knows
the plan and purpose of our consti
| tuition. He knows that government in
the United States EXISTS by the con-
sent OF the governed, and that it was
established for the common good Tt
lis not something forced upon us by
a superior power; it is a voluntary
union for the mutual benefit of people
who live in contact with each other.
| 1t operates under a cooperative plan
and allows every citizen the largest
measure of individual liberty that is
consistent, with orderly government for
/ people as a whole.
| IT is plain, therefore, that our sys-
| tenn of government requires fair de-
i gree of intelligence on the part of our
citizens generally, and the greater the
average intelligence the more efficient
the government. Ignorant people can
not well govern themselves. A demo-
cratic form of government requires a
continuous process of education for
citizenship, beginning in school days
| and continuing through life. Hence it
is that one of the most important and
| the most expensive of American gov
eminent activities is the establishment
and maintenance of free public schools
A good citizen possesses a sound
character and high ideals. knowledge
is essential to good citizenship but it
should be put to good use. A democ-
| racy requires straight thinking and
| right acting. Citizenship is not an ac-
cllmulation of knowledge; it is way
of hfe. Tt goes without saying that tc
be good citizen one should have
moral standards that impel to right
conduct and that qualify one for self
government. This is necessary, OF

course, to make one fit to live with
his fellow beings, and more important
STILL to make him fit to live with him
self. If he does not respect himself
he is not very apt to respect the rights
of others
Quoting from Shakespeare, one of
his characters advises his son thus :
This above all; to thine own self be
true, and it must follow as the night
the day thou canst not then be false
10 any man." In the Citizenship Read
er, James @. Blaine is quoted as fol-
lows, telling a story of President Gar
field. "One day Mr.. Garfield and l
we're talking of young men and of
what was their great preservative from
evil ways, and Garfield said, We'll,
this thought has been my best help.
In youth found out that I had to
live with Jim Garfield, and that Jim
was sure to know everything that +
did or thought, and I didn't want
to live with mean, low, common, vlll-
gar, coarse fellow; I wished to live with
a gentleman
Since the character of a school, a
community or a nation is only re-
Election of the character of it's citizens,
it is we'll to bear in mind how the in
f1uence of a few noble characters may
leaven the whole lump. One George
Washington is worth more to a nation
than all the military connuerors in
the worlds history; one Abe Lincoln
is worth more than all the titled SOW
ereigns;; one Theodore Roosevelt is of
more value than all the wealth repre-
scented by all of our captains of indus
try AS one of our former Presidents
said in an address: 1.-THE proper de-
velopment of national character in it's
citizens should be the main care OF
America.
A good citizen obeys the law Obe-
dience of the law is absolutely neces-
sary for any effective government
whether that of a school, a state o1
q nation. This is especially true in the
case of government. such as ours
where laws are made either directly

| and there can be no possible excuse
| for law violations. No matter whether
a given law may be determined gooc
or bad, it should be observed as long
as it is a law. Strict observance will
test it's worth, and when majority Oh
those concerned want it repealed OIL
changed there is a lawful way for do
| ing SO.
Laws are considered under one O.
two general classes. First: Laws to pro-
/ tect us against the crinlinally inclined
the outlaws of society; secondly, anC
by far the most numerous, those laws
which prescribe rules and regulations
for the orderly conduct of commune
ties and larger units of government
BY breaking these last laws we might
iii some way endanger the lives Of
others The point is, that laws are fol

TAX PAYMENTS HELP OUT

Delinquent tax payments now being made are
contributing materially to the financial relief Of
counties generally, members of the state tax conn
mission point out
"Property owners who are taking advantage of
the five per cent rebate delinquent taxes offered
by the last legislature not only saving them
selves money but are also fulfilling civic duty in
helping to restore governmental credits" mem
bers of the commission said.
The period in which delinquent taxes can be
paid with the five per cent rebate granted closes
November 80. Increasing payments are expected
up to that date.
When the delinquent tax payment drive opened
there approximately $45,OOO,OOO in unpaid
taxes outstanding within the state imposing an
additional tax burden Of approximately two and
one-half million dollars annually in interest.
Tax payments are not only reducing interest
costs but are stabilizing warrants, eliminating a
condition in which counties were laboring under
as much as rs per cent discount on their war
rants Here in Benton county, tax payments will
enable the county agencies to return to cash
basis after about nine months on warrant basis,
which will mean much to county employees and
teachers in this valley.
"A tax payment drive is the greatest move any
county promote for it's own financial relief,
the commissioners said in summarizing the exist
ing tax situation, and the greatest service any
property owner can render his governmnt at this
time is to promptly meet his tax obligations

A good citizen stands on his own
feet The very idea of individual lib
erty presupposes the ability of the in.
dividual citizen to work out his own
destiny OF course, there are always
unfortunate people, such as mentally
and physically detectives, for whom the
government must care, but our sys-
tenn OF government requires that the
normal citizen must take care of him
self and not lean on the government
or become q sponge or drag on soci-
ETY..
After passing through the period of
childhood and schooling, the young
citizen is met by the challenge: Can
you make your own liVing?" This is
one of the duties imposed upon all
bodied citizens whether rich or
poor. AS one writer puts it: THE one
essential purpose of education is to
get an individual going from within
so he can run himself" Education
should enable one to adapt himself to
his environment and to master the
observation-disclosures VI lit III WHICH 1le lii1tls

A good citizen has the spirit of coz
operation. He should be able, not only
to help himself, but also be able and
willing to help those with whom he is
associated. democratic government

Good citizenship on the part of the
students requires their corporation in
observing these rules. The opportuni-
ties for cooperative service need not
be sought from afar; they are lying
all about us.
good citizen is loyal to the per-
SONS and institutions that .rightfully

Of the finest words in the English Ian

We admire the Enlishman who is

State officials have announced that only pro-
jects of statewide character will be financed out
of the $1OOO0OOO bond issue. This bars all local
and municipal Improvement jobs, and leaves the
way for worthwhile projects in smaller commlln-
tiles of the state to be put on the program.
Here in this valley have several projects
of this nature IF this valley is to become more
thickly settled it must have roads roads which
will not only help the valley but will provide the
rest of the state with shorter and easier routes
from point to point.
