They have been gaining tbi-j strength through the organization of "red"' unions, because they discovered early that they could r.cf, control the American laborer through his established international union. The worst of it Is that we have the weakest government we have ever had, just as Canada had last year the weakest government it had ever possessed. "We are In the midst of a presidential campaign, tuo congress 13 playing politics and making malcontents bolsheviki. if you please just as fast as it can turn them out, by refusing to meet just demands fcr living wages of government employes.

ISN'T IT A CRIME? While voratoes reach t-ky hi?h prices and are so arce that grocers can hardly get them, SO car loads f ;i.,L'.if.es are held jut outside cf Chicago by prottteers vaiting for prices to go still higher. What sort of an administration is it whose officials rtJfi'iiit such things? SZEIOUS CONDITIONS EXTANT. The i;;,.or uud entire economic situation today is one that is fraught with vital significance to the people cf this country, if they knew how much apprehension is felt by banker?, manufacturers and business mr over the chaotic situation they would ponder over n much more than they do.
The first of the annual sessions of the Mate board of tax commissioners will begin Monday, and will end in fifty days. May 24. At this session the-
board will asses? all property over which It has original assessing Jurlsdic Hon. The property includes bank, public utilities and similar institutions. The, second session will begin July 6. and will continue for twelve day.', ending July 17. At this svssioti the board will hour appeals f..r reassessment of properties assessed at the first session. Appeals f mm as3?Mii' tii s fixed by county asesing officers will be hoard at ihe third session, which will extend from July 19 to Aug-ust IS. At this session the board will equalize assessments between parts of the state, and wil issue its horizontal change orders. The fourth session will begin September 29 an dend lieccinber H.

NOW WE HAVE THE OVERALL CRAZE. The. festive overall has succeeded in creating quite a rumpus over the country lately and a good many otherwise sensible pecple have been making fools of themselves oer the useful garment. From all sections of the United States com reports that as a protest to the high cost of clothing men are discarding their customary apparel and donning overalls. At Birmingham, Ala., In one week, 4,000 joined a "Wear Overall" club to remain in overalls until the price of clothing came tumbling down within the reach of every man's wallet. The movement has spread into Indiana and the next thing that will happen as in the case of the chuck meat

go so high that poor men can't afford to buy them. All the overall establishments anticipate a landftfuce business. Very soon we shall hear that as a result cf the high price of overalls some fool fellow will be running up and down the streets protesting by wearing a G-string and advocating their general use. Ever since 1916 the people of this country have been running around In circles, because of some silly drive, crusade or propaganda until some of them apparently are fit candidates for the insane asylums. Overalls are very well In their place. Ther have a useful function in their sphere. No one has any criticism for them, but to espect that by a nation wearing them the high cost of clothing will be reduced Is just about as silly is it would be to try to sweep Lake Michigan hack with a broom.

"The Seattle attempt failed not because Ole Hanson put bis foot down but because the people behind that attempt were using it simply as a means of learning their power. They learned that society in America is dependent for its existence upon basic industries, the utilities. A little more than a year ago it was tried in Winnipeg, with a general strike that tied up the city for more than a month. They learned that it could be done. Bit by bit they tried their power, first with the steel strike, then the coal strike; then came strikes tilted sporadically ?t the public utility plants: policemen and firemen were called out: now we have the ,.-4:ilroad strike.
