tiOn and all the leading educators

every voter will see his way clear
to east his ballot against Act No. 4:
None but first grade teachers have
any voice in the selection of the
book commission, any one Of which
may become a member of said com
mission. Why exclude teachers
with state and professional license
and all other classes of tax payers?
The method of electing said com
mission Is so cumberson and slow
and will cost about $500 each two
years TO elect the commissioners,
besides teachers move about so much
that a correct roster can not be
kept.
This Act creates six salaried

ment by selecting and electing the
best qualified men of their class to
fill the different offices. Then we
are ready to apply the solution.
The laborlng class affords most Of
the intelligence in this age, and fill
several Offices, but they have capi.
talistic minds and but little sympa-
thy for their weaker brothers. So
far there has been but one man in
che National legislature that knows
what is wrong and how TO right 1t.
Now lest | take too much time and
space will state the solution brief.
ly:
After gaining political power we
would enact and execute such laws
as will change all privately owned
public property into the hands Of
the government, thereby making
economic conditions, so that every
man can own what private property
he needs, which Is an impossibility
for majority under the present
system.
We believe IN pure democracy,
and that the people should draw the
line between private and public
property where and at the time they
see fit.
Now, the postoffiice department,
the public roads and the free school
system are the only things that are
owned aud operated by the govern.
ment, except waterworks, etc, that
are owned by municipalities. We
would extend this public ownership
to the railroads, express companies,
telephones, factories, mines and land
(where practicaD and at the same
time tax all land held for specula-
tion at its rental value, thereby
eliminating this capitalist system
that furnishes all the incentive for
graft, causes all the wars, poverty,
crime and disease that go with it.
