right track when they appreciate
that private ownership of public
utilities is harmful to city and
citizens and that poverty today is
partly due to the completely of So
ciety. There is still room for them
to advance, however.
The scientific economics of social
ism prove that all the worst evils
and ills of society are due wholly to
the private ownership of the socially
used tools. You are to distinctly
understand that Dusseldorf is not a
socialist city. The conditions in
this city that do more for its people
than any other that the writer knew
of, were brought about by merely
taking leaves from the book of So
cialists. The broadminded business
men were willing to do this to
counteract socialism and have there
by given a measure of the comforts
and pleasures of life to the workers
who by their toll produce all things
necessary to life, comfort and to
pleasure.
How very liberal of them, when
they feel things slipping, to concede,
to those whom it by right belongs,
a trifle more than a bare existence
in order to prevent the workers from
retaining their entire product.
An admission is made in this
artitle tha' the present order is not
all that it should be and that the
order advocated by socialists would
be more beneficial to the only useful
members of society-the workers.
Will you long remain in ignorance
of this socialism that its opponents
condemn as immoral and to be
feared and yet borrow leaves from
its book to cOmtat it with?
The last paragraph in this article
is the most contradictory that has
ever come under my observation
and is worth careful analysis. The
business men Of Dusseldorf, while
that socialism must be de-
feated at all hazards, find that the
only way to even delay its ultimate
realization is to make concessions.
They are also willing to concede,
when brought to bay, that the much
despised, long suffering, very patient
workers should have "A GER
tain measure of comfort that they
will continue to toll on with cheer
ful and contented mind.
| wish to say, i'm conclusion, for
the benefit of capitalists that they
are awakening altogether too late,

ment behind property. While the

cOmplished in the busy industrial city
of Dusseldorf. place OF 100000 in
habitants. He writes: ''Hervpeople
and her officials seem to appreciate
that congestion OF population has
made it necessary for the city to do
many things andto own many things.
And the German citizens understand,
too. that the things the city does not
own must be regulated and control
led to prevent them harming city or
citizens.
"Further than this, Dusseldorf rec
ognizes that poverty today is not
due to incompetence or intemperance
alone. 1t is partly due as well to the
completely of society; it was born
with machine; it is theprodnct OF the
city This being SO, it is the duty OF
the city, as matter OF justice rather
than charity, to relieve the poor of
some of the costs which Industrial
conditions create.
''Dusseldorf does more things for
itspeople than any other city know.
1t owns it's street railroads.; it owns
it's harbOr and it's docks and its
slaughter houses; it's gas, electric
light anu water plants: it operates
three separate banking and loan en-
terprises, a large wine business, and
several restaurants and milk depots;
it owns and and rents suburban vii
las and large apartment houses; it Is
a great land speculatOr and city land
owner; 1t possesses art galleries, an
opera house, museum and exposition
hall and indirectly owns the leading
hotel In the city. 1t has public baths
and cemeteries and pawn shops.

One of the city's most interesting
experiments is that now being con-
