state.
Yes, Socialism Is not a religion, but
is committed to the establishment of a
government - pure democracy - in
which all the people will have a voice,
even, if needs be, to the extent of In
dustrial Socialism, which, is not an
other Socialism, but the opposite end
of political Socialism, they being the
opposite ends of the one and same
thing; for the Modus Operandi of So
cialism must, be inversely in order to
capitalism which depends upon its
wealth and its corrupting influence in
destroying common consideration Of
the whole people, substituting there
for private and special interest, and
finally the unjust possession of the
government accordingly; while Social
ism depending upon the control of
things, must. first get control Of the
government by numbers and must con-
quently first address itself to political
Socialism when we do not know just
what form industrial Socialism will
take, that being a matter for the peo-
pie to democratically determine for
themselves, it is a waste of time, we
think. to advocate industrial Socialism
to the neglect Of political Socialism.
Socialism commits. itself to the ele-
mination of private interest in govern
ment: for private interest being the
source of political corruption. and it
being impossible to consider a private
interest when the people act collec-
lively it follows therefore, by the col
lectiye action of the people, they eli
inmate the source of political corrup-
ton, which is private interest.

AN INJUSTICE.
Editor Majority:

Editor Majority:
would like to suggest to the Legis-
lautre that they repeal the law. now in
force concerning the sale of real
property. for non-payment Of taxes.
The present law is unfair to the
property owner in this, that if the
county officials should make an error
or should the property owner limo
Gently err insthe payment 'of his taxes.
the property is then returned delin-
Quent to the auditor and advertised
for sale. Should the owner of the
property be away from home, or
should he fail to see the advertise
ment, if at home. his property will be
sold to some individual who makes q
business of purchasing property at
tax sales.
If the Individual who purchases the
property is in collusion with the sheriff
who. sells the same, the sheriff and the
purchaser will both conceal the fact
that the property is sold, and in one
year from the date of the sale, the
purchaser win apply to the county
clerk of the county in which the prop
erty is located and demand a deed for
the same. and under our present law,
the county clerk IS compelled to make
deed to the said purchaser without
giving notice to the original owner.
The advertisement in the newspaper
like other advertisements, is Outlines
overlooked. and many a citizen who
desires to pay his taxes, and comply
with the laws OF our state. is deprived
Of his property. which may have been
the earnings Of his lifetime.
The assessor can find the owner of
the property when it is time to make,
the assessment, and why not the
sheriff find the owner of the property
to collect the taxes. The state has
the same recourse to collect taxes as
one individual has to collect bill
against another. namely. BY q suit in
court. for the amount Of taxes due the
state. in which summons must issue,
apprising the property owner Of the
taxes due to the state.
have in mind a couple of in
stances where property has been sold
for taxes. and the owner was willing
to pay the taxes but through an error.
not of his own. the property was sold
merely for the taxes. and deed given
BY the clerk Of the county court. con-
xeying clear title to the purchaser.
without the knowledge of the owner.
j have in mind one case, where prop
erty Of the value Of six thousand dol
lars. was sold for s145O. and . deed
was made to the purchaser BY the
county clerk. thus depriving the
former owner Of All the property he
possessed in the world.
I would suggest that the present
legislature consider this unjust law
and repeal the same so as % give no
