Rigid enforcement of all labor and
factory inspection laws, and laws for
the protection of women and minors.
PUBLIC HEALTH.
An efficient and economical hos.

The equal enforcement of health
laws among rich as well as poor.
The establishment of a proper
standard as to light, ventilation,
over-crowding. and sanitary arrange

truction by the city of all buildings
not conforming to the standard.
LIQUOR QUESTION.
The extension of our principle of
national government control to the
liquor traffic, thus doing away with
the perennial local wrangles over the
matter, the results of which, at their
best, are transitory and devoid of
satisfaction to the people as whole.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The city now furnishes textbooks
free to school children. 1t should
also furnish free clothing and free
meals. Proper nourishment and
protection from the weather are as
necessary to the education of our
children as textbooks. We especially
condemn the niggardly retrenchment
that refuses to appropriate the usual
szoo for shoes for needy children.
While our public schools are our
finest institutions, yet we regret the

tendency of the present time to make
them merely preparatory for the
higher education that is available
only to the rich. Our schools should
make their strongest effort for those
who are fitting for everyday life
rather than for those who are fitting
for high school OF colleges. No pu-
pill should graduate from a grammar
school withouta thorough knowledge
of arithmetic and other common
studies of earlier days. Too many
have done so. The great majority
never attend a high school; there
fore they are the ones entitled to the
most careful consideration.

Among the countless number of
bills that have been introduced in
the present legislature is a bill to es-
tablish a state board of health. This
is very good. but see the secretary
is to receive the sum of So. 900 per
year salary, and another bill has
been introduced to cut the salaries
of the sheriffs. That's right, take ii
from the men who do the work and
give it to the parasite; thus it has
been and always will be under the
present grating system of govern
ment II there is any officer in the
outfit who deserves any more than
S.. 90 per day, which | doubt, it is
the sheriff. He is on duty from the
time that he takes hold of the Job
until his term runs out. ~ hours a
day, and he certainly should get the
big end of the swag. The next bill
that comes up should be one to cut
the hours of work of the senate and
house. Pm afraid the members will
be prostrated by over work or go to
sleep on duty and let the initiative
and referendum bill run into the bill
for the taxation of old maids or else
let the bill to prevent scab on sheep
collide with the bill to take the final
c off of Clarke.

Triumph of Labor, By Walter
Montana news. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-191?, 1905-02-01

munication was read from the State
Federation of Labor for direct legis-
lation, and urging that the Oregon
form of initiative be adopted The
petition said that the passage of any
other bill than house bill No.
would be subterfuge.
Every utterance and move shows
conclusively that the republicans
have no intention of passing a law
similar to the Oregon law.
On the 26th little was done in
either branch of the legislature ex-
cept the routine work, such as to
convene and adjourn.
On the 27th Representative San
den's joint memorial No. I relating
to the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people,
passed the senate.
Maddox's bill prohibiting the en-
ployment of children under 10 years
of age in underground mines was
passed.
OF course the aSth being Saturday
the capitalist law makers for the
people Cd with pockets stuffed with
transportation, in some instances
for the whole family, went home to
rest over Sunday after their hard
weeks work.
On Monday the goth slaughtering
began when Senator Whipple's bill
providing for the semi-annual pay
ment of taxes was killed in the house,
Notwithstanding that certain business
associations we're petitioning for the
same.
A petition was read urging that the
meat and milk inspection law be not
repealed, and communication from
the Montana branch of the Frater-
nal Congress was received protest
ing against placing fraternal socie-
ties under the operation of the in
surance law.
House bill No. So was signed by
the governor, authorizing school
trustees to issue bonds for the pur-
pose of raising funds to carry on the
school.
The report of the judiciary COM
mittee making it illegal for women to
be notaries public was adopted.
Dempster's measure providing
whipping post for wife beaters was
reported adversely and the report
was adopted.
On the 3Ist, the last day in the
month, the woman suffrage measure
|, came up, and had you heard some
of the speeches, you would have inn
agined they were Socialists to hear
them plead to have this measure
submitted to vote of the people.

We, the Socialist voters of Fitch
burg in caucus assembled, renew our
allegiance to the principles of inter
national Socialism, and confirming
the nation and state platforms of our
party adopted in 1904, present the
voters of Fitchburg these same prin-
ciples worked out in detail, to be
applied to municipal rather than to
national issues, as our platform in
this campaign.
We believe that a working man
should get the equivalent of all that
he produces, and we demand that he
should get it. AS the only means of
realizing this demand, we declare
that the people who get only small
share of what they produce (the
working class should peaceably, at
the ballot box, take possession of the
government and convert this land of
trusts, capitalists, oppression, tyr
amy, bull pens," child murder,

In the campaign just closed the
two old parties stood for the same
principles; there was practically no
difference in their platforms; they
were both pledged to the monied
interests, or as we say, the capitalist
class.
In this campaign the two old par
ties stand on no platform; the last
alleged difference that existed be-
tween them has been removed the
past year; they both stand for the
capitalist class in this city 1.-THE man
ufacturers, merchants, etc. } and are
pledged to their interests, as opposed
to the working class.
AS a majority party we would put
our principles as whole into ope-
ration; but as a minority party we
favor all measures of benefit to the
working class as a whole, and such
as will lead to the establishment of
the Cooperative Commonwealth.
We, therefore favor the following
measures:
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Municipal ownership of street rail-
ways, lighting plant, ice-houses, coal
and wood yards, and such other in
dustries as are necessary to the life
of our citizens.
These may be operated in three
different ways, circumstances to de-
termine.

cost to the public, to be paid for out
of general fund. Instances, roads,
streets, police and fire departments. }
o. Service at cost of production.
(Instances, water department, post
Office department.
4. Service to be run at a profit
to the city, and used for the benefit
of the whole community; none OF
the profits, however, to be used
toward the reducti on of taxes.
A particular instance, peculiarly
adapted to local conditions is our
lighting plant.
Many cities in our country as well
as in England and other countries,
now own their lighting plants, and
Fitchburg should not be too far be-
hind. There is no reason why this
city should own its water supply
which does not equally apply to the
gass and electric lighting plant. Why
should we pay sIoo per year for
each arc light when other cities sim
ilarly situated provide it at os dol
lars or less with their own plants ?
