Demand Martin
Veto Sales Tax!

OLYMPIA, WASH, March I'll
The Washington legislature cut
the throat of the working class
Wednesday by passing the two
per cent retail tax bill, most re-
dictionary, most unfair of all tax
alton measures.
( In the bill no discrimination
is made between buyers. The
thousand dollar a month bank
president will pay no more than
the unemployed worker starving
on his Sl.20 a week allowance.
The worker who scrapes along
on ten dollars per week will pay
proportionately a tho u n d
times more for living than will
industrial leaders.
1t is estimated tlIat 1872, 0O0,0 900
per biennium will be raised by
the sales tax. AS the Voice of Ac-
tons revelations have proved,
the Martin Ernst machine has
stolen nearly that much from the
unemployed in the past two
years.
Though the legislature has
passed the measure it still re-
mains to be signed by Governor
Martin. A storm of protest has
been made against the sales tax,
Everywhere it is being den0unc-
ed.
(For the sake of the under
nourished babies, in the name of
decency and humanity, all work
ers are urged to write to Govern

augurating a policy of checking
the work records of jobless long

refusing relief under every ex-

break the growing unity of long,

the crews are striking.

who are demanding full power
and have the backing of the I'M

the seamen which would force on
the seamen a company hiring hall
