HELENA SOCIALISTS HEAR
LYCEUM SPEAKER

Notwithstanding the fact that there
was several dances and other enter
talnments in Helena at the time, a
crowd that filled the Socialist hall
TO over-flowing heard Eugene Wood
of the Lyceum Lecture Course.
This orator has the faculty of al
ways keeping his audience interested
by mixing mirth with cold facts.
The lecture OF the evening was How
we are Gouged" and II there was any
one who did not know something more
when he left the hall than he went
In, 1t is because he heard the topic
before he went in.
Preliminary to his talk. he outlined
how he was the president of cor
poration. In part he said. 1T might
surprise some of you to know that

CAPITALISTIC LIES ABOUT
TAXATION IN MILWAUKEE
BY Carr ID. Thompson.


According to the capitalistic papers
another dreadful catastrophe has be-
fallen the poor city of MIlwaukee-the
Socialists have enormously increased
the taxes.
From every direction people are
sending us clippings from the capital
istic papers that play up In urid
headlines the fell calamities and the
dire distress inflicted upon the poor
suffering people ct this beautiful city.
by reason Of the terrible increase In
taxes.
All OF which is very interesting IL
true.
But what are the facts?
In the first pace, the newspaper
reports about the increase in the city
expenditures in Milwaukee. are about
as near to the truth as the capitalistic
papers generally get They report hat
the present Socialistic administration
has spent nearly a million dollars more
than the last Rose administration.
And they claim that this is according
to the official tax levy filed by the city
clerk.
All OF which Is another one OF their
cheerful capItalistic lies. The fact Is
that the expenditures this year for
city purposes have been a little over
/ nd m
than last year. The capitalist papers
have added six hundred thousand dol
lars to the amount
But what is still more interesting,
and still more to the point, Is the fact
that the increase of the rate OF taxa
/ ton union the last demo-. e.is sd-
minisration or the preceding repub-
llcan administration.
VIII the labor and Socialist papers
please copy that single simple state
ment? The effort of the capitalist
press to discredit the working class
administration in Milwaukee must be
defeated.
The city of Milwaukee is growing.
1t is growing very rapidly. In fact
the last two years have been the most
remarkable years in the commercial
development OF the city.
Naturally, as the city grows the
expenditures for municipal purposes
Increase. The rigid economies of the
present administration have, however
= reduced this rate OF increase as stated
above.
The tax rate In Milwaukee is loweI
to day than in almost any city Of IT.
size in America.
v Though increasing slowly. the In
crease Is less than under any OF tn
9 former administrations.
And the actual increase In the Ia
\ rate is about elevn cents in the thou
sand.

hall. The result Of the netting was
that comrades Ed Record and zet
Powers and a few others got busy
after the lecture and the Saco So
clalist local was started. eight being
the number of charter members. But
Powers and Record say that the So
cialist membership within sixty days
will be more than forty in this neigh
bourhood.
socialism is not only gaining
in Montana, said Mr. Jones to repre-
sentative of the Independent, but 1t is
growing in every state in the union.
As proof of this We can point TO So
clalist victories in New York where we
captured Schenectady, and a member
OF the New York legislature, but Utah
Ohio. Mississippi. Minnesota, California
Warrington, Pennsylvania and other
states showed many Socialist victories.
Ohio has ten cities in the socialists
columns.
"And It Is up to the people generally
to find out what Socialism is. We
claim that Socialism would benefit
the banker, lawyer, doctor and capitai-
list class generally as well as the farm
er and other members of the working
class. As proof OF this claim we
can point to bankers and other cap
italists who are In the Socialist move
ment working earnestly for its success.
Two bankers at Kloten, n. d.. are
Socialists and when farmeres complain
to the Socialist bankers OF the high
rate OF interest they are paying, the
Kloten bankers hand them a piece of
Socialist literature and tell them TO
read and learn how to wipe out the
interest, profit and dividends game of
capitalism omemee, n. D.. also
has a bank president who Is a Socialist
and these bankers would no be So
cialists IL they were not convinced
thst Socialism would give them morr
material beenfits than they now en-
joy.
The general store keepers too are
joining the Socialist party. They
are beginning to discover that they are
not capitalists but are simply collect
ing agents for the trusts.
1T is absurd that the great mai
ority of people should constantly have
the spectre OF apprehension staring

is too much OF everything here for all.
Socialism is a scientific arrange
and any fair-mlnded man who will in
vestigate IL will learn that II will not
injure one human being on the earth.
not even Jim Hill. Rockefeller or
Morgan. And as Socialism is coming
and mighty fast II is up to every one to
find out what it is. Congressman
Berger predicts z,OOO,OOO socialist
votes in 1916 and perhaps victory.
But the Socialist victory will surely be
in 1920 IL not before that
date 1t is Inevitable. The farmers
and other workerers are waking up
and II is UP to all classes to find out
what it means. And the invetigators
must come to the Socialists to learn
what IL is and who We are to put it
in operation.

THE BIG BATTLE BEGINS,

Capitalists have been hearing a
good deal about Socialism. From now
on they are going to feel It. We
have already hit them in their wiscon-
sin-now watch us lambast them In
their Ohio and kick them In their
California!

oh there was little argument here
a short time ago but 1t is all over now
what we are after" continued the
speaker rs a $1,000 job. and that can
be done by edmining the capitalist
system and TO keep ourselves from
being further gouged.
ITO illustrate how we are being
gouged let me go over the manner
that a railroad for example gouges the
public. First without a cent OF capital
they issue mortgages on property to
be. After selling these bonds they
purchase rolling stock. pay off labor
at about = OF their production, ad-
vertise for further gougers. etc. They
then operate the road a meeting ofthe
stockholders is next in order. The
and other petty larceny Officers and
give them a salary OF several thousand
per year and when that Is over they
vote themselves fat salaries by the way
of dividends for which they never did
tap: that is nothing more than un-
adulterated, genuine, pure clear. un-
polluted and absofute gouging
Then this keeps on and new funds
are required, for extentions, reserves,
strikef funds etc The workers put
these funds there, they make II pos
sible for themselves to be further
gouged.
Statistics show. and these state
ments are made by the gougers them
selves. that labor receives a trifle less
than one-fourth of their production.
Some workers think that they are
well enough off when they can make
a living, and the only defination they
have for living is to be not dead.
"If the workers wound cease work
for just a few days and board at a
So. per day hotel and then go home
and board they would at once become
dissatisfied and want to live as they
had in the hotels This can be better
brought about by the workers doing
away with a system that forces them
to support their masters and make he
masers support themselves.
'"rhe men that tell us that we must
have capital owned privately are the
one that employ child labor In the
various factories and / am told that
in the mills OF the South where the
children work nights. that between
when the little ones doze off to sleep
in the seats that the foremen bring
them to life by throwing a bucket OF
water over them. From the blood OF
these tots are built magnificent
churches and libraries that cannot be
attended by the ones that are gouged. |

A few years ago the Socialists OF
Livingston, elected Charles Simpson,
a machinist. to the cly council as
an alderman. One Of the first acts Of
Simpson after being erected alderman
was TO introdce an ordinance to in
crease the pa of common IaDorers
working for the city from $3.50 tos3.
per day of eight hours. and one man
and team from IS. to So. per day
The Socialists failed to reelect Simp-
son as the old parties centered their
strength on the republican candidate
and the wage slaves scabbed on them
selves. Within one month after slmp-
son retired from the city council the
wages Of the laborers hired by the city
were educed from SO. to $3.50 and
man with team from SO. to IS,
Thus the working class refused to
stand by a representative Of theiI
class and the old party councillors re.
warded the workers by reducing theii
wages.
