a tax of about $3.50 n year on every
man. woman and child in Charleston.
We are informed that The Kanawha
Water and Light Company pays Chill
$4,000 a Is the legal serv-
ices of this firm worth this vast
amount or are they buying political
influence? The big business interest
and the corporations through their
hired tools AVE run IL city long
enough. 1t is now time the citizens
were taking a hand. There is but
one reasonable solution to the fran
chise question, and that is to give no
franchise at all, but take steps toward
raising the necessary funds to build
or buy a water plant. The street car
franchise has been given away, the
gas franchise given way, the tele-
phone company allowed to monopolize
and rob the public, the water and
light franchise is the last franchise
that will be at the disposal of the
people of Charleston for years. Don't
give it away but let the city take
over this utility INC operate it for
the good of all. 1t will be an asset
and a source of to the city.
Charleston is now paying close to
$50 10000 for water and light, this
am ount alone would soon pay for the
plant. In conclusion we will say
Charleston can raise the necessary
funds to buy or install n water and
light plant. All we need are officials
and citizens with civic pride enough
to get behind this thing and push it
through. Let us change the Slogan
to read CUT OUT GRAFT and start
that cog whee to working in the
right direction and never let it stop
until Charleston the C. o. G.. City
can boast of owning at least one pub
lie utility THE WATER AND LIGHT

cannot be freed from
eNploltation without c~onquering the
polltlcal power and substituting roll

exploitation.
II basis for such Transformation
is rapidly developing within present
capitalist society. The factory system.
win its complex machinery and
minute division of labor. is rapidly de-
stroylnS all vestiges of individual
prouction in manufacture. Modern
production is already very largely a
conceive and social process. The
great trusts and m%onopolies which
nh'e sprung up in recent years have
organized h work and management
of the principal industries on n mn
tional scale, and have fitted them for
collective use and operation.
Land and Public Welfare.
Ihere can be no absolute private
title to land. All private titles
whether called fee simple or other
wise. are and must be subordinate to
the public title. The Socialist Party
strives to prevent land from being
used for he purpose OF exploitation
and speculation. 1t demands the col
iectlVe possession. control or manage
lhent OF land to whatever extent NAV
De necessary to attain that end. 1t is
not opposes! TO the occupation and pos
session of land by those using it in n
useful and bola fide withour
exploitation.
The Socialist Party is primarily an
economic and political movement. 1t
is not concerned with matters of re-
ligious belief.
LabOr's Interests Identical.
In the struggle for freedom the in
terests OF all modern workers are
Identical. The struggle is not only
national, but International. 1t EN-
braces world and will be carried
to ultimate victory by the mite work
crS of the world.
To unite the workers of the nation
and their allies and sympathizers OF
all other classes to this end is the mis-
sion of the Socialist Party. In this
battle for freedom the Socialist Party
does not strive to substitute working
class rule for capitalist class rule.
but by w~oriing-class victory to free
all humanity from class rule and TO
realize the international brotherhood
of man.
