The socialist delegate In the nation
|al convention of the Federation of La
|tor moved that 1--WE declare our in
tention and hereby instruct all affil>
lated bodies to hold absolutely aloof
Ifiom all connection with the militia
until the military system like that IN
Vogue in Switzerland is adopted in the
United States"
In Switzerland, all men between the
|ages of 20 and "A years are compelled
to go through regular course OF
training, the period from 20 to 81
years being actual military service.
To adopt such plan in this country
would give us standing army of as
enormous proportions, as Germany and
France have
What the socialists were after was
another provision in the Swiss law
that allows the soldiers the right 10
retain their arms III their homes. They
thought with such provision as that,
they would be able to introduce little
game Of anarchy whenever they saw fit.
The Federation voted the proposition
down with an overwhelming majority.
The Independent has often told the
working people that what they wanted
was not the adjustment Of the militia,
but by their votes get control of the
government and command it. They,
however, seem to think that it is better
to give the government to the million
|aires and then howl abort the militia.

Inter-Derendence

One of the standard declarations of
the speakers Of the socialist party is:
ANY system that makes one man de-
pendent upon another for living is
slavery" There could be no more
false proposition formed than that and
III makes socialism itself standing
contradiction. The same paper from
which the above is clipped keeps stand
ing the motto. Each for all and all
for EACH There can be no society
in which one man is not dependent Oh
another for a living, and that con-
|tinues from birth to death. The COM
mon ownership of all things would
|only make one man still more depend
'ent on another Nj n ss.ss .elafate
of all would depend" on the "other,
..ho ordered the planting and sowing
and on still others who obeyed the
elected boss or refused to obey him and
the still Others" who divided and dis
tributed the products of labor.
Had we not better drop the dreams
and come back to the real and tangible.
1T is still true that mo man liveth To
himself" We are all dependent on
Others. No man can supply his own
necessities. They must De supplied ~
others or he dies. Even the hunter
in the days when the game covered
these plains could not furnish his arms
and ammunition. He hal to depend
on others. The farmer who went onto
free and fertile land could not make
his axes and p1ows

A Silly Proposition

The soundness of populi5t principles
can be understood by any man who
gives little thought concerning the
| proposition of Secretary Taft for con-
| gress to enact law guaranteeing S
per cent interest to parties who will
build private railroads in the Phil
ippine islands. Everyone knows that
! ii those roads are Luilt by private par
tiles under that plan, the people of the
United States will have to pay that
interest and private parties will own
the roads just as they 10 the Union
Pacific, after the government donated
twice as much % private 5zs ~
build the road as it couis have built
lit for itself. Then think of the gov
eminent guaranteeing 5 per cent in
terest on bonds when it can borrow
money itself for 2k and per cent.
liz railroads are to be built in the
Philippines on the government credit,
let the government build and owe
them. The plan is SO ridiculous that
|one can not help thinking that it's real
purpose is to give some millions Of
dollars to favored few among the
rich to pay them for supporting the re-
publican party. Yet 1t will be done.
That is part of the republican land
slide.

Tho Harvester Trust

The newspapers are becoming ex
cited over the control that the farm
machinery trust has secured over all
farm implements. They are engaging
i'll the same denunciation that has beer,
directed against the Standard Oil trust
for the last thirty years and it will
end the same way. The Standard Oil
trust has grown year by year and is
still piling up its millions by using
it's same old methods. This farm i'm
plement trust has adopted the same
methods and will go on growing in
the same way. Small concerns will be
crushed out and the trust, will fix a
charge for mowers, reapefs, plows and
wagons to suit itself. The farmers will
Lave to pay the bill. There is no es-
cape, Sympathy should not be wasted
upon them. If the farmers were help
less, sympathy could be extended to
them. But they are not. They could
relieve themselves of this trust and
al the other trusts within five years
if they would make a reasonable effort
to do it. Underlying the harvester and
all the other trusts is the private OWL
|ership of RAILROADS.
