PROGRESSIVE SOCIALISM.

The Inauguration OF what Is by
courtesy called the eght-hour move
ment, has led to "A discussion of the
merits OF such a movement from a
socialist point of view. The habit
of socialists to take advantage Of any
agitation in the labor ranks, and
more especially the organized labor
ranks, is well known, and the occa-
sion of the eight hour agitation by
a fraction of the organized workmen
again offers one of those opportuni-
ties usually sought and desired by
active men in the Socialist ranks
Up to a recent date the Socialist
Party in the United States has been
mere y propagandistic society,
never entering the field to contend
politically FOR it's principles, save in
q few isolated local instances, and
once in mistaken compact with
the "Greenbackers," which latter
experience cost the Party dear. AS
a society of propaganda, adapting
itself to the various movements of
the organized trades unions, and as
sisting here and there, both morally
and financially, the efforts of the
organized workers to better their
tondition-that Is, to get more
wages, this society hoped to win the
confidence Of the organized workers
and inculcate the principles of So
clalism among them. And to some
extent they succeeded.
Latterly, however, the propagan-
distlc sociallstlc society has resolved
itself into al independent, active
political party which, while still
retaining their propagandlstic quail
ties both rs individual members and
as an organization, have placed
themselves face to face with the par
ties representative of the present
system of political and industrial so
ciety. They have attained "A new
dignity and a new significance.
The Socialist Platform criticize,
the present system of social order
with peculiar severity fully warrant
ed by its undcniably evil results
and presents a proposition for radi
cal change based upon the equally
undeniable Observation-Disclosures O.
this competitive commercial system
the need of a new order to conserve
the welfare and happiness of society
and the experiences and demonstrat
ed possibilities which the operations
of the dying system have made man
lfest-the demonstrated order o
evolution.
The new position of the Socialis
Party with their revolutionary Plat
form, it would seem, should rails,
them above small contentious owe
amehoratlve measures which lmpl'
the continued existence of the pres
ent political and industrial system.
To compel, as privately organlze'
wage workers, an employer to Civ
his wage slaves more wages or
shorter workday, necessarily presup
poses both employers and wag
slaves, and ignores the State.

of labor does not necessarily impl

w. A. CUDpY, who was chaplain OF the
Legislative Assembly Of Arizona before
the capital was removed TO Phoenix, has
sent TO the treasury department for de-
post in the conscience fund the sum Of
$22.50, being the salary paid him as
chaplain. His motive for this action
10 explained by him as follows: II can
not zee that it is right for the rulers TO
take the peoples money and pay 1t out
70 some hypocrite to stand up before q
Legislative body and pray for pay" He
also stated that he once acted as clerk
of the Legislature and received for his
services s640, bat while performing this
duty he was also employed in selling
whisky. He thinks that he should re-
turn the s640, and would do 90, he says,
but for the fact that he has not got it.
Cuddy now resides in Phgnix and Is q
worker in the Salvation army. His re-
formation took place about three years
ago in Los Angeles, and last January,
when the Legislature met IN Prescott, he
undertook the reformation Of that body,

The legality Of taxing mortgages was
decided adversely by. Judge Porter on
Thursday, who holds that where the
property encountered Is assessed at its
full value the mortgage on the same can
not be taxed. The matter will now 60 to
the supreme court for final decision.
Judge Poner's opinion is manifestly just.
The Arizona law shonld have been
amended by the Legislature so as to con-
form with tina. OF California, which,
while requiring the taxation OF mort
cages, exempts so much Of the property
as is comprehended by the encumbrance.
That is TO say, the property is taxed only
on the valuation over and above the
smount Of the mortgage. Silver Belt.
