The immensity of our nation-
al debt (•2,400,000,000) can
only be viewed intelligently
when it is compared with all the
gold and silver issued. In case
all the gold and silver issued

In the state of Washington
exists the most corrupt condi-
tions of public affairs of any
state in the Union. The legis-
lature ordered an expert inves-
tigation, disclosing the fact that
in cities of over 1,000,90 per
cent of the officers were short
in their accounts. Corruption
and incompetence was found
in most every office in the state,
in the county government 75
per cent were short and guilty
of embezzelment.

history.
Again we reiterate the asser-
tion that the time is coming
when the big corporate inter-
ests will have complete control
of the manufacturing and whole-
sale interests and will enter tht

and the countries taxed to build
Dreadnoughts. It takes an im-
mense sum to build a ship of I
that type. I he U. S. has only
one ship of this type now, our
big Connecticut wi*h its four

late a fortune of five hundred
million dollars within the brief
period of forty years.”

lution to future economic con-
ditions the world over. How
these conventional property ar-
rangements is the question.
