~. for the Workingman He also
'@Nares the enactment OF eight-nOur
4Ai's on public works and underground

aaNs against blacklisting and child

Taking the Chelan valley as a
sample, Ferguson would have the
state own it collectively. set out or

IN bearing, to take possession and
old down five or ten acre tract a.
aons as he cared TO. Ferguson would
ISSUE bonds. the proceeds OF wnicn

ni-es no such things as bonds stocks
or interest, Ferguson is eithe. l2no.-
ant or does not mean what he says
wIen he speaks of bonds He proves
S5Oap-bOXing, because bonds to a So
cialist is what red rag is to d bull

seeks to draw nearer unto him. when
sle advocates capitalistic method of
nc luiring land.
Ferguson is also much pat out be
cause Congress failed to enact d law
giving employment to the un-enploy-
asd by inauSurating the construction
OF large public works. He estimates
the number OF unemployed at two

making the high cost OF living still
