BIG BUSINESS INTERESTS IN
POLITICS
(BY PAUL CASTLE

A very popular slogan of modem
political rcformers is: "THE BIG
BUSINESS INTERESTS MUST
BE DRIVEN OUT OF POLL
TICS"
President Taft is given to the
heralding of this wonderful ere
form" principle. Our president
thereby makes an admission which
has taken our Republican friends a
long time to make-that the big
business interests actually ARE in
politics.
But how are you going to drive
the big business interests out of
politics? The industries are mex
tricabily woven into the life of the
Then is it not evident that the
principal function of government is
the proper adjustment and regula-
ton of the industries? How, then,
is it possible to keep the owners of
the industries out of politics?
1t cannot be done.
You may drive the to seek cover
but they will find some means to
control all legislation that affects
their business.
Socialism makes no such insane
proposition as driving the big bu-
sincss interests out of politics. So
cialists know that the owning class
always have been and always will
he, in politics. Today this owning
class represents and industrial oil
garchy of a few money lords; there
fore it is only natural and inevitable
that these few men should control
industrial legislation.
If the people want to drive
THESE FEW RICH PARASITES
out of politics, that is a different
question; but you cannot drive
their business out of politics.
If we want to drive the few capt.
talists out of politics and put the
people in control of industrial le-
gislation, the one and only thing to
do is for the people in control of
industrial legislation the one and
only thing to do is for the people to
come into ownership of the in
dustrieS.
THE OWNERS ARE THE
LAWMAKERS.
