ace OF dlSunion, oil slavery; OF the old
time hsrem. bobbing up under new con-
ditions. This last was done without re-
sort to arms, simply by wise, energetic,
timely legielation-as it is to be hoped
this immense problem of the ages will
be accomplished.
Now while socialism is urging gov
eminent control OF the industries
of the people, and philosophi-
cal anarchism thinks there should
be no strong, centralized power but
voluntary, cooperative Adjustments
and communism wants every thing con-
trolled and held in common, and the
Populists are endeavoring to secure di-
rect legislation, the naturalization OF
money, land and transportation, and
equal rights, capitalization Is struggling
TO maintain. having already obtained. q
monopoly OF our resources, 1t is plain to
plain people that what is wanted right
away ie more money in circulation.
II the banks have obtained such
power that they can at will and through
com binatien tie up and tie down our in
dustries, and it can be proved that they
have done this in the past and are doing
it in the present to paralvzing, demer-
alizing extent, then it is full time this
power WAS either taken away or cur
tailed. But if on the contrary it can be
shown that our industries, our body
polite has been too much nourished on
ruinously borrowed, together with q
poisonously patched-up circulating me-
dunn, and that this currency, from
various causes, has been curtailed, de-
pleted, until we are sick unto death, or
on the verge OF revolution, then for
the sake of law and order and evolution
should congress lose no time in meeting
the demands of the hour with whatso-
ever of wisdom and energetic action it
can command. Though If they feel un-
equal to the emergency, then let them
resign and the people make q new selec-
ton OF public law makers.
In the meantime states and munich
palities should not shirk the problems
knocking at their doors for solution.
This is how Minneapolis, one of the
most enterprising and switt-growing
cities of the west, has solved the ques-
ton OF the unemployed in her midst:
1.-The problem OF the unemployed has
been taken up in Minneapolis in earnest.
The ways and means committee OF the
council has decided to issue bonds to the
amount OF 500, 900 at 2 per cent. to fur.
nish money for sn extensive scheme OF
men of the city have agreed to take the
whole at par, 80 that the bonds will not
have TO be fioated on the money market.
Extensive improvements are to be I'M
dertRken."
While Los Angeles aud Pasadena are
somewhat behind Minneapolis in deal
ing with the problem of the unem-
ployed. they are figuring theoretically at
it, and no doubt will solve it in a hand
same manner. Nature having herself
dealt 30 handsomely with these two
beautiful cities, it could not be other
wise than that their citizens would fol-
low her example. Not give this unfor-
tunate class too many hours OF work per
day, because, to judge from appearances.
insufficient food and clothing and proper
shelter has already depleted their circu-
lating medium; they are suffering with
the nation. One dollar and o half for
eight hours work per diem is more than
some dare to hope can be inaugurated
during the money famine, but is 1T too
much to expect of "The City OF the An
gels" and THE Grown City of the VAL
ley?"
A wise expenditure OF money just now
would not only quicken and renew the
circulatory medium of the unemployed
but of South California as we'll. Let ue
hurry up that handsome boulevard at
