Close to 5000 workmen In lumber campn and mills north of Everett, stand ready to bo mobilized at vnrlonn points In the state to assist In getting out lumber contracted for govern ment work, according to announce ment today by tho West Coust Lum berman's association, after it had completed a canvass of the situation. The association Is now at work on a canvass of the mill and logging work men thruout the yestern part of the stute. It was said. ; No further notion on the proposals of Governor Llstor to end tho strike Is contemplated at the present mo ment, according to tho lumber oper ators. J. O, Drown, president of the International Shingle Weavers' union said that his organization had taken no further action toward mediation and he expressed doubt whether such Btops would again be taken. : "Tho government has been turned down on overy proposition by the mill owners, and It Is fair to assume that eonio of Its representatives are weary of the strife," Mr. Drown said today. "Clovornor Lister's proposal was a fair 0110," ho added, " and should have been given more consideration by tho mill owners." , AT MOUTH OF ROGUE MAIISIIFIRLD, Aug. 18.. Tho fisherman on tho lower Rogue River have been making good money and are well sntlBlied with their work. The Maclnay Kstnto company Is pay ing $1 and It. 25 per fish, the differ onco In price depending upon wheth er the company or tho fishermen fur nish tho geur. ThiB Is the highest )rleo ever paid on tho river and tho fishermen have dono well. The Ma deny company has about 80 boats on tho river and a number of men are using set nets. ' Two men work In each bout and some of tho best fisher mon hnvo mado big wages. Tho run of Chinook salmon Is a good average run and tho Macleay and the Hai nes runnorles will togeth er probably put up 25,000 cades. The money paid out for fish togethor with the good prices received by ranchers for their products, has given the low er Rogue River country a prosperous period. No attempt has been made to solne by the Maclouys. Several glll-netters look out a seining license, intending to use the gillnets as a seii, but the attempt proved a failure. COPHN'll AGK.V, Aug. IS. Inter esting light on the political creed of Dr. (leorgo Mlchnells, tho Herman chancellor, is given In un uithlo he wrote lato In 1914 fur an obscure weekly, which has now been resnr reeled, it condemns parliamentar ism on tho ono hnttd, and on tho oth cr the selfish policy of the consnrva tlvo party. "Who, after seeing the miserable fiasco of parliamentarism In Kiietund and Franco, ran want such met hods In GormatiyT" the arlllclo reads, "Who will dare to touch the emper or's military authority?" After paying a tribute to tho so cialists, Ir. Mlchanllft rebuked the conservatives, saying they opposed franchise reform end an inheritance tax to protect their own powor and THE WAR PROFITS . '. SENATOR LA FOLLETTE did well when he presented the minority report favoring financing the war by increased taxation on war profits and incomes hut what' ever good lie accoimdishes is nullified by his made-in-Ger-many pence proposal, which urge the surrender of the national cause of democracy and which, according to mem bers of the Root commission, is mouthed about liussia by German spies to. make the Russian people believe that the United States is not in the war to stay, as well as skill fully used to hearten Germans to continued support of the war. - , The war expenditures of the United States for the com ing year are estimated at $18,000,000,000.' This is a sum so vast that tew can comprehend it, and to raise it will entail sacrifice on the part of every person in the country. Nobody can hope to escape, but all should patriotically do their bit. It is estimated that the war is costing each man, woman and child in the United Kingdom 75 cents a day, of which 18 cents is raised by taxation and the balance borrowed. The taxation due to war purposes imposes on an average upon everr pci-son a contribution in taxation equal to about one-third of his entire expenditures before the war. This money is raised by taxing incomes of $G50 a year and upwards; a super tax on incomes over 815,000; by ex cess profit taxes; by import duties on a few commodities not produced in the. kingdom; by amusement taxes, taxes on railroad travel, taxes on mineral waters, motor cars, tea and tobacco and higher postage and telegraph charges. In England the excess profits tax, that is, the tax on profits higher than a pre-war average, has been raised to 80 per cent, which means that, taking income tax, super tax and excess profits tax together, the war profiteer must pay the state over 90 per cent of his war profits. There is no reason why the United States should not do the same. J. he proposed senate bill places a tax ot 50 per cent on excess profits it should be as great as in Eng land, for with the poor offering their. lives and their. savr ings, those who aro profiting by the war should be made to turn their gains over to tho government to help finance the war. ' , : - ..' MILITARY DUTY : IN W NAMED . . (Continued from yesterday.) NO -PEACE BY NEGOTIATIONS THE babblers who aro crying for "peace by negotia tion" Would have ns 'believe all that is necessary to end the war is for representatives of the belligerents to gather around a council table. Unfortunately for their theory history shows "peace conferences" are often the seed plots of new wars. Probably a majority of the devastating wars 'Which have racked Europe for ' centuries originated in the patchud-up treaties of peace, in which greedy, short sighted kings and diplomats bartered away the rights of peoples and parcelled out national territory as so much real estate. . " It has not been five, years since a horrible and bloody war sprang from a peace conference called to make , a "pence by negotiation." The first Balkan war did not go to a logical conclus ion because of the financial exhaustion of the belligerents, tho outbreak of cholera in Thrace and the threat of inter vention by the big powers. , , t . j. . The diplomats of the warring states met in conference at London to patch up a "peace by negotiation." It was a typical diplomatic gathering. All the high-grade inter national crooks, burglars and second-story men were there either in the conference or lobbying.around it. - A peace which was a compromise of greedy desires, absolutely un related to jtistice,.raeinl or national integrity or the econ omic interests of the people was patched up. . The ink was hardly dry on the treaty of London before a second and moro deadly war broke out among the for mer allies. Turkey again hutted in and Rumania hastened to jump on .Bulgaria at ter she was down, and loot the loser. Another patched-up treaty was then negotiated and altho it was more conclusive than the first, it settled noth ingit was a compromise of conflicting avarice. Austria was the sinister figure in the background of this second "pence by negotiation" and in the treaty of Bucharest were sowed the seeds which a year later sprouted into the war of the world. . , i- Do wo want any more "pence by negotiations" to be followed ii a few months later by a new war with a new iine-up of nations? , ... "Peace by negotiation" is one of the favorite phrases of the motley elements which are trying to paralyze the strong right arm of America nnd avert the doom of Prus sianism. I ""'!! IlfJIIil'W This is a war between despotism nnd democracy it is the final struggle. The two forces have met on countless fields for thousands of years. Put in all pnst nges there were uncivilized countries, peopled by free barbarians who renewed the fight for freedom aiid builded np new civilizations based on the idea of individual liberty. To day there arc none such. The whole world is in the death grapple and democracy must win or perish forever. There will never be "another chance" for democratic principles if Prussia dominates the world nnd sets up her system in western Kurope. The best proof of that is the conduct of the German people today still docile and obedient heeding not the frightful tribute they have rendered to their masters un stirred bv the Hussion revolution blind to what nil the rest of the world sees written in flame across the skies. which portend the dawn of human brotherhood or the sun set of civilization. In the nineteenth century the philosophy of despotism ot the superman gathered Iresli strength. nil the world nt large basked in calm and dreamed universal democracy and peace, in Germany and elsewhere the doc trines of imperialism acouircd fresh vigor. William T. Stead, who perished on the Titanic, foresaw this menace seventeen veins ago when he wrote this remarkable prophecy: t "The bloody doctrines of Nietzsche have painted Ui sunset skies of the nineteenth century all too red, herald ing a yet more crimson dawn." . .
