The trusts are good Insofar az
they increase productivity with de-
creased waste.
Collective ownership OF the trusts
would retain the good features and
eliminate the had features. The peo-
pie would then again be the masters
of their own veal and woe.
The nation should through Its
goverpment take possession at once
OF the national trusts. the state
should own those trusts that are u
unit in the state; the counties should
own those trusts tina are unit In
the county. and the cities should
own those that are II unit In the
cities.

This Is the goal OF the Socialist
party. For this the workers are be-
ing gradually prepared. No amount
OF persecution. slandcr or ridiculc can
stay them In their struggle.
They have been deprived Of nm
education In the colleges and tho

They have broken away from the
'old political parties and organized

for any old thing: 1t wants the Of

for honesty on n platform made up
of stolen planks. The Prohibition
party can only see poverty when

Socialist party recognizes in the pres

stage of society. And SO Socialism
will be step forward over all the
