These are days of unprecedented govern- ment control of industries. The war has brought home to America the fact that, to do things in a big way, ALL. THE PEOPLE have got to do them TOGETHER. And their government is the one organization that represents all the people of the United States. f The war is already responsible for gov- ernment control of fuel supplies—the mining of coal, the shipment of coal, and the sale of coal. We have just as extensive government control of food and transportation. We have found out under stress that interest in these things is a COMMON INTEREST. { But the biggest of all industrial factors— THE SEATTLE STAR Ave, Near Uniom St. or Newsrarens 1907 Seve: OF SCHIPTS NORTHWEST LEAGUE United Press Ansociatio tfice as Second-Class Matt 3 months, $1.15; ¢ months, $2.00 200 a month. ne Main 600, Private w sit departmente IME WORKS WONDERS IN THE ILIPPINES in the world was highly pleased over our troubles in Philippines: Our troops were contending with what a formidable Filipino insurrection led by ido, a man of considerable ability and genius for To the Europeans who wished us ill it seemed there lay this revolution the seeds of endless trouble, so hig were islands, so varied and numerous and warlike their peo- so far away from our source of military supply.

We going to give answers to these questions but would like} answers, if you have better ones. 1—In respect of war taxation on tobaceos and drinks, | is the final, obvious, odoriferous goat? The consumer. 2—Will not the manufacturer, importer and retailer excess war profits? They will. $—Is there a chance for the consumer, upon whom the taxes, plus the additio: profits, are imposed, impose something on somebody? Certainly. He can upon himself the use of less tobaccos and drinks. The only recourse of the consumer is to use less. @ moment! Let us have “business as usual!” However, there are other things subject to new war such as passenger and Pullman tickets, telephone telegraph messages, express packages, theatre tickets, drinks, gum—things the folks are using regularly. In respect of these things, the consumer—-nobody else Red more. And the consumer’s only recourse is to Business as usual. Taxation as usual. The consumer must expect to stand and will stand war tation. The point is as to whether he will stand war ixation, plus the war taxation profit of the wholesaler, the war taxation profit of the retailer. For instance, ent cigar is demanding six cents, when govern- nt added less than a quarter of a cent to its taxes, and 10-cent drink is 15 cents, when government added only a cent. In short, the increased tax is taken as an to gouge, all along the line to the consumer. "Rah for the cob-pipe and faucet water! IN'S GOVERNOR may appoint a U.

PAGE 6 as ourselves, not only keep on keep on helping as efficiently as possible. This, bearing in mind that ef- ficiency does not go and never has gone hand in hand with reduced living standards. This question of government control of wages is going tobe among t the big ones that congress will face when it reconvenes De- cember 3. Also it will be up for considera- tion at the American Federation of Labor convention in Buffalo, now in session. It is a mighty good thing to be thinking about right now. “Coming events cast their shadow before.” And government control of wages during the war at least, may well b considered a “coming event.” low, as well helping, but have government control of food supplies, and railroads, and mines—of the army in the field itself, for that matter. They have seen to it that standards of living were maintained, in many instances raised, in the interests of higher efficiency. Eventually we will have to come to some- thing like a Wages Board ourselves, altho probably we will not go about it in just the English way. Wages have got to be made to fit the increased cost of living—the wages of every man and woman who works in this country. They are all of them helping to win the war no less than our men in khaki.
