Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-07-30
Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

II EOPLE are educated by the
work that they do; that Is,
if it is educating work, and
a good deal of it is not.
A good deal of it is work that
man might go on doing all his life
long, and at the end know no more
than he did at the beginning.
That so much of the work that is
being done is of the uneducating
kind is one of the bad fruits of our
civilization.
1t is work of the kind that is
given to the people that are down
and keeps them down. 1t is en-
ployment that is of such a sort that
it gives the worker nothing in par
ticular to think about, to exercise
his mind over, or to be interested
In.
And work that can be done with
out having to think about 1t ear
nestly and become interested in 1T
deeply never makes any wiser the
man that does it.
For example, a man who shovels
gravel does not thereby become
more Of a man any more than
steam shovel by being operated be-
comes more of steam shovel.
And very much Of the labor that
is being performed is of precisely
that character.
Consider, for instance, the condi-
ton of mill operative, a ticket
chopper on the elevated railroad. a
truckman, a street sweeper, a
seamstress, bank clerk, pinned
down to one particular. narrow,
repetitious line of service.
Workers Become
Mere Machines.
A very great deal of what is be-
ing done is much OF that order.
1t is work that runs in a rut, and
hardly Is there any more thought
required in the doing of 1t than is
required of car wheel in its move
ment along the railroad irons.
Workers become in that way lit
tie more than human machines,
and. like machines of the other
sort. grow worse rather than better
by the using, to be kept running till
they finally wear out, break down
and are thrown on the scrap heap.
This situation Is intensified by
the increasing tendency toward the
division of labor, which Is all the
time making the grooves of indi-
vidual service narrower and mar
rover, the ruts deeper and deeper,
with always less opportunity for
independent thought and action,
and thought must be independent
and action must be self determined
if it is going to conduce to the ad-
vantage of the worker.
That then, Is the drift of events
with us. That is the way things
are going.
And they are going faster and
faster.
This is a severe criticism upon
our civilization, but it is true.
TIME presidential vote cast by
the Socialists is no longer a
negligible quantity, running
from $4,000 In 1900 to $4,000. in
1908. The estimated strength of
the party in 1910 was so per cent
greater than in 1908.
Mr.. Debs is again proposed as
presidential candidate, and the cal
culation is that he will poll some
thing over 100000 votes in No
vember, or ten per cent Of the en-
tire ballot cast This increase in

strength, both rapid and uniform
gives nom Socialists something 10
think about.
Collective Ownership"
Is Chief Feature.

OO1AOOU1NS OWuCISulp
Is Chief Feature.
But there is also good deal for
Socialists themselves to think
about, more perhaps than has been
seriously considered by the rank
and file of the party. The Social
list program is simple and easily de-
signed, and, like all programs. en-
counters no difficulty till it reaches
the point of execution.
The fundamental feature of the
plan is collective ownership
whatever exactly may be the dis
tinction between that and govern
ment ownership"
This much, however. is evident
ly intended-that certain properties
shall be taken out from under in
dividual control and become the
holdings of the people taken col
lectively or of some governmental
representative of the people.
Since confscation is not CON
fessed part of the scheme fea-
ture that would be strenuously re-
sisted by none more than by prom
rty-holding Socialists themselves.
who are more concerned to add to
their possessions than to lose what
they have got-it follows that dis
possessed individual holders are to
be compensated upon surrendering
their property to collective owner
ship.
The properties thus to be sur
rendered and paid for out of the
collective" treasury include rail-
roads, telegraphs, all large scale
industries" all distributing agen-
cies, etc. etc.
A student who has given more
thought to this matter than most
people has roughly estimated the
amount required for so immense a
purchase at hundreds of billions Of
dollars.
Supposing we make a try" at
the matter by calling it $500,0Q0,-
100000.
That would mean a per capita
outlay of $4,000 for every man,
woman and child in the country.
Cheaper to Plan
Than to Work.
AS that would be impractcable,
and as the collective" treasury.

reimburse individual holders the

carrying with them, of course, an

the total amount of which would be
twenty billions annually
That sum it would devolve upon
the people to pay every twelve
months. except so far as the prin-
cipal was reduced by some hypo-
thetical sinking fund held by im-
pecunious COLLECTIVELY AS said at
the outset. it is cheaper to construct ,
a program than to work it.
No scheme of the kind will be
practically undertaken till the solid

the uncalculating infatuation Of the
minority.

AL varieties thrive and there are
thousands of acres of land here that

MANY CASES TO BE CONSIDERED
WHERE DELEGATES HAVE
FRACTIONAL VOTE.
MAKES BAD
Confusion Seen in Future Conventions
Roosevelt Forces Expected to
Present IT'S Contests, Taft
Men rs.

Chicago, Ill. - When the Repub-
lican national committee meets, June
s. to consider the contests filed by
Roosevelt and Taft delegates in a num-
Der of states. the members will be
confronted with the problem of what
to do in districts where more than the
specified number Of delegates have
been chosen with fractional votes.
Four years ago there were several
such cases in Louisiana and the ma
tional committee seated the double
delegations and allowed them half a
vote each. This year a number of
these cases already have been report
ed and others are expected. Secretary
Hayward has classed each as a con.
test.
Il take the position that the local
conventions had no authority to elect
double delegations to the national con-
vention," said Secretary Hayward.
THE official call specifically stated the
number of delegates to be elected. I
have nc discretion in the matter under
the official call. If state and district
conventions were allowed to double
their number of delegates, giving each
half a vote, there is no reason why
they should not quadruple the number
with a quarter vote each. The seat
ing space in the Coliseum provides
for a given number of delegates and
alternates and there is not an extra
inch of space.
Confusion Seen.
IF one state has a right to send a
double delegation, other states surely
have the same right. I intend to mott
fy the delegates in every instance of
the kind that a contest is deemed to
exist and put it up to the whole coun-
try to decide whether they will estab-
precedent, which will surely result in
increased confusion and annoyance at
each successive convention"
Among the instances where double
delegations have been chosen are:
The Fourth district Of Minnesota.
the Fifth district Of Kentucky and the
Thirteenth district Of Missouri.
Notice of a contest between Taft
and Roosevelt delegates in the First.
Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth dis
tricts Of Virginia were received by the
committee. Former Senator Charles
Dick Of Ohio, who is to handle the
Taft contests before the committee,
left for home after comforting with
Chairman New of the subcommittee on
arrangements.
1t is expected the Roosevelt forces
will present 175 contests, while the
Taft people do not expect to have more
than Is.
