ABOUT COMMISSION
FORM OF GOVERNMENT
Is a Confession of the Bankruptcy
of Democracy in Service Of
Il Capitalism.
(By a SOcialiSt.)

Because there is no distinction be-
tween Republicans and Democrats in
grating, in hostility to labor and in
subserviency to the powers of plumb
er, the conclusion is drawn that all
partisanship is bad.
Laws are being used in the name
of reform that make it difficult or
impossible to vote a party ticket.
A whole system of municipal gov
eminent is being urged upon the basis
of it's nonpartisanship. The commits
sion form Of municipal government
has as one Of it's fundamental prin-
ciples that men and not parties are
to be considered in elections. The
"short ballot" and the absence of all
political emblems is intended to COM
pei the voter to abandon party lines
and party principles.
The commission form Of govern
ment is a confession Of the bank
ruptcy of democracy in the service
Of capitalism. It is surrender of the
idea Of popular government for the
sake Of a superficial efficiency in
administration.
To be sure, the acts creating the
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1911-06-10

: If these men were the only par
ties, then, indeed we would already
have nonpartfsanship in fact, and we
might as well recognize it in our elec-
ton laws and municipal charters =
But because Republicans and De-
rnocrats are rivals for the favors Of
capitalism it does not follow that the
day Of political parties, of party 10y
atty and discipline and power has
passed away.
Real political parties represent
economic classes.
There is no need Of two parties to
represent the same class. When the
Republican and Democratic parties
both try to represent the same class
there Is no partisanship. Political
rivals for the favors of one plumber
ing class become but bands of boodle-
hunting pirates, combining for the
hunt and quarreling only over the d.
vision of the spoils.
There is real conflict in society
between those who live by working
and those who live by working the
workers. There is genuine conflict
Of interest between these two.
Only one party is needed to repre-
sent the interests of the idlers.
This may be either the Republican
or the Democratic party or non
partisan. combination of these two.
One party represents the interests
of the workers-the Socialist party.
Between two such parties as these
there can be- no talk of nonpartisan-
ship. They stand for opposite things.
One stands for the use of govern
ment, national, state and municipal,
In the interests of these who live by
ownership of property rights.
The other stands for the interests
of these who produce all wealth.
This fundamental difference lies
below all questions of Individual mer-
it-of good or bad men.
When men stand for principles they
must be honest. When they stand for
plumber they are apt to be dishonest.
The Socialist stands for a partisan
ship that represents his interests, for
right principles as basis of obtain
ing the right persons, for making de-
mocracy efficient instead Of surrend-
ering democracy in the hope Of get
ting efficiency. ~

commission form of government gen.
orally include provisions for the ini-
tlative, referendum and recall; an
effort to maintain the forms, while
surrendering the spirit of popular
government. But the federal courts
in a test case in Kansas have de-
clared these provisions unconstitu-
tional when they interfere with pro-
perry rights. and it is only when they
do so interfere that they can be of
value to the workers. .
The commission form of govern
ment is an effort to escape from the
inherent corruption of system based
upon robbery.
Its nonpartisanship is based upon
the idea that the only political par
ties are those bound to capitalism. On
that basis there is no partisanship.
Lor1mer went to congress and Busse
into the Chicago mayorilty alike up
on Republican tickets by virtue of
Democratic votes. No chemical ana
lysis applicable to politics can distin-
gulsh the degree of subserviency to
the powers of capital to differentiate
Bailey of Texas from Aldrich of
Rhode Island.
Both parties have the same atti-
tude toward labor. There is no choice
between Alabama militia and Pennsy-
lama cossacks in their ferocity to-
ward strikers.
Republicans and Democrats in con-
gress can be distinguished only by
their seats on the floor They vote
and work alike, Cannon's power as
Republican speaker Is maintained
by the Democratic vote of Tammany
and OF Roger Sullivans man-Mc-
Dermoot from Chicago. .-
