The Socialists
of Ronceuerte

The Socialists of Roncevcrte are
making brave and patriotic fight
for better government and better
things for each and all alike. They
oppose the proposed bond issue be-
cause it burdens all and fayors but
Few. They will not vote to beauti-
fy, improve and increase the yalue
OF the rich mans real estate at the
expense of every poor man, woman
and child in Ronceverte. Here as
everywhere on earth, the socialist is
hShtinS for humanity while waginr
war against the wrong
Among various other wrongs. they
oppose the heartless and inhuman
Charter under which their city is
controlled. Every office in the mu-
nicipality is filled by appointment ex-
cept the councilmen and mayor.
Inerefore the city clerk, solicitor,
treasurer, city missioner and
chief OF police besides any minor Of
hcers, are all appointed by the COM
mon council. The socialists contend
that these appointed officials should
all be elected by the peoples vote
and voice at the forum of the bal
lot box. They want the charter
changed to that effect, as well as ev-
cry other unfair feature in their
city's charter.
The charter says. "The Clerk. the
Solicitor. the Chief of Police. the
Treasurer and the city commissioner
shall be appointed by the city coun-
Gil. No person shall be eligible to
any elective Office unless he is a
'freeholder' of the city, and his
ceasing to be "a "freeholder" shall
vacate his office: and no person shall
be eligible to any office unless he is
taxpayer
This despotic notion that man
must be freeholdcr. or owner of
real estate. before he can hold an
office Is silly relic of the days OF
feudalism when the landlords ruled
the world and hobbed all others of

their rights excepting owners of the
land. Socialists know that any re-
quirement. than the ability to prop
erly discharge the duties of the Of
nee, is mean unmanly trick to rob
and scorn the poor and fortify the
rich. SO they oppose this penurious
and pcrncious infamy of denying an
honest worthy man of holding office
simply because he is poor They al
so denollnce the vile and vicious no.
ton that an honest. Industrious poor
man should be denied a vote because
he is too poor to pay his tax They

oned man should exercise his SOW

ereisnty to vote as he desires whe-
ther rich or poor. They bitterIx. CON

another thing, the socialists OF
isohceHerte and everywhere demand
Is. that this thing of granting cor.
poratlons charters to control the city

aoolished from the EARTH The peo-

tnese supplies should own and fur

pie should not only have the power
TO elect all officers. but should. cxer-
else the right and power to regulate
these bonds and penalties securing
the honest discharge of duties them
selves. An unfair council would not
require bond or impose a forfeit
ure that would seriously affect their
appointed political pets. This au-
thority and power should be taken
from the politicians and recovered to
the people. We socialists want the
people not the politicians and the
plutocrats. to govern this planet for
the children of men.
The council also has the power to
lmpeaeh an elective officer and All
his place by appointment -sIn this
way a majority could remove an
honest member fighting for the peo-
pies interests and appoint a rascal
to assist the other rascals in their
graft against the people. These
councilmen should be dethroned
and their places filled only by the
peoples vote and voice. Any other
way enables grafters. frauds and
thieves to wrong the true and just
and rob the public treasury of the
peoples tax. There are countless
other wrongs to be righted.

Expense of Officials

Are the rank and file of the Unit
ed Mine Workers getting value re-
ceiVed for the money they are pay
ing as salaries and expenses to their
officials. The quarterly report
shows for January, February and
March the expeniturers were S5G4.23
greater than the receipts
The receipts for the first three
months of the year amounted to ST.
924.I3. while the expenses for the
three months amounted to S2.4SS96
There are great many things in
this quarterly report that could have
been made more satisfactory to the
men who are furnishing the money
The report show for the quarter that
Ben Davis salary was 100000 and
his expense 1924 4.O5. l.. F. Lanhan
salary s231.OO; expense s265.55
Ben Morris Salary S225.OO: expen-
ses $254.35. without salary the ex-
penSes Of these three officers for
three months amount to sS1O.95 or
an average of $4,000 month each.
Besides the SS1O95 as expenses of
the president; vice president and
secretary we note a miscellaneous
expense of s111.20. The rank and
tile of the miners wants to know
what became of this money, for
what it was spent and what results
the organization realized from the
expenditure? The miners would al
so like to know what benefits were
derived from the s24O.o5 paid the
legislative ommitteemen? 1t is
nothing more than right that the
officials of this district should rem
der an itimized statement of their
expenses. Considering the condition
of the miners in district No. II. 1t
seems that s2.4SS.96 is an unreas-
enable expense and it seems that the
organization was very little bene-
fitted by this great expenditure
