day. issued an, address to the people
of the United States in which the be-

the statement made that intoxication

Among the most interesting was the

With customary California open

their wing. bags and opera togs, and
together they started on what proved
to be a two-days' pilgrimage. Where
the Fcrds could find shelter or trans

But. like unto the rest of us, hos

EXTREME PLAN
OF SOCIALISM
Russian Peasant Work
men Adopt Their
Programme.
Naturalization of Land
and Industry to Be
Urged.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 5.-The ex-
tent to which socialistic theories have
taken possession OF the prolstariat is
evidenced by the agrarian programme
adopted by the radical peasant work
men grouped in the lower house of Par
lament, which aims ultimately not only
at the complete naturalization of land.
with its attendant total abolition of
private property, but the socialization
of industry.
The programme provides for the
creation of a national land fund from
the crown. church and private property
exceeding a certain amount in value,
the state to pay for appropriated prop
erty, and in the cities the factories
and mills to be gradually transferred
to the state for the benefit of the work
men. The mines which at present are
not being worked would, according to
the programmes, Immediately escheat to
the state.
After taking such land as needed for
state and public purposes, the remain
der would be distributable to anybody
desiring to till it. preference being
given to the local agriculturists. IL
the land in any locality is insufficient
the state would provide transportation
to persons desiring 20 move to where
land could be obtained.
The workers of the soil would pay
an occupation tax, varying in accord
ance with the character and amount OF
ground taken. Persons without means
to purchase agricultural implements
would be entitled to receive credit from
the land fund. Each community would
be under the supervision OF a local
commission elected by universal suf-
frage. Until the full scheme could be
placed in operation the mortgaging or
sale of lands would cease.
The local commissisu would regulate
the rent of holdings and the length of
the days work.
The central committee OF the social
revolutionary party has issued an an
nouneement reiterating Its decision to
abandon terrorism temporarily and call
ing upon its adherents to cease such
crimes until the committee again gives
the signal, and to devote all energies to
preparing for speedy armed revolt
