OF the Public Ownership (sooialist)
Party.
The Public Ownership (Socialist)
Party Of the City of Willmar, Mimi,
in convention assembled this 18th day
Of March, 1912, does hereby declare its
allegiance to the principles of inter-
national socialism and the platform of
the national Socialist party and ite
continued position as the only party
class.
c1ety divided into two classes, on the
one hand, the working class, getting
It's income because of its labor in the
production Of the necessities and en-
joyments Of life, and on the other hand,
the owning class, securing it's income
through it's ownership Of the tools and
materials Of production. The one class
uses the means of production and dis
tribution but does not own them, the
other class owns them but does not
use them.
Capitalism forces one class to work
without really living and allows the
other class to live without working. It
is a society Of wage slavery for the
producers, and mastership for the i'd
lers.
Were the workers to realize their
enslavement, Capitalism could not long
exist, but the workers have been blind
ed by servile press owned by the
master class and catering to an adver-
Using patronage and misled by the pol
itical retainers Of the master class
bought by campaign and corruption
funds furnished by Capitalists.
Wherever the workers do realize
their situation and by united effort
strive to better it, they are met by the
resistance of the alphabetically con-
trolled government, through injunctions
from the judiciary, clubbing from the
police and bayonets from the soldiery,
federal and state.
To effectively increase their power
and improve their condition, the work.
ers must actively organize themselves
economically and join in the political
organization and movement of Social
ism, which aims to establish the COL
lective and public ownership of the
means of production, transportation and
distribution, the democratic operation
and management of such public enter
prises and the remuneration of the
workers by the full social value of the
product Of their labor. In order to
strengthen the resisting powers of the
workers under capitalism and as means
to the achievement Of this, our ultimate
aim, we make the following immediate
demands, and as fast as the powers of
government are intrusted into our hands
by the workers, we pledge ourselves and
our elected officers to strive for their
legal enactment.

lest. The Progressive Rebupllcan state
convention held at Minneapolis even re-
fused to pass resolution favoring the
prohibiting of liquor shipments into
prohibition states. And still the liquor
problem is the greatest financial, social
and political problem of our time.
E. G. Larson said that he was not
against prohibition. But the people
should have a right to rule and where
they didn't want prohibition, they ought
not have it. He said that Hall diu not
vote for Nye for Congress two years
ago. He showed that Bob LaFollette
was not weakened" on other things
even if he was not now so directly in
terested in the liquor problem There
were a great many progressive issues,
and these combined were more import
ant than the one issue of prohibition
The speaker went on at length advo-
eating the progressive measures such
as the initiative, referendum and recall,
direct primary, etc. Under the initia-
tive and referendum, we could get pro-
hibition law any time that the people
wanted it. If they didn't want it, they
ought not have It, The majority should
rule, right or wrong. The Progressives
were fairer than the prohibitionists for
in North Dakota, where the prohibition
lists rule, those prohibitionists are keep
ing the people from getting the initia-
| tive and referendum because they are
afraid that under such law, the pro-
hibition amendment may be stricken out
| of the state constitution. He said it
did take courage on the part of the
Progressives like ;LaFollette to stand
against the powerful railroad interests
and that it was not the Prohibitionists
alone who were courageous. Some of
the other interests had a more danger
Gus hold on the courts than the liquor
interests. In fact when all other steals
by all the other trusts were added to.

Attorney for Petitioner. WIla1ar.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-01-25

West Extension have given people a
wonderful amount of anonymous ad-
vice as to what shetlld be done about
the extension.
Will these fellows now please tell
us why it was that when he sent a
letter of protest to President Taft Mr..
J. y. Burgess signed himself as pres
ident of the Umatilla River waterusers
Association? Why did he make use of
a corporate name to which he had
no earthly right and thereby place
that organization in position direct
'ly contrary to the position it holds?
Was the thing inadvertently done?
Then Mr.. Burgess was careless to be
sure. The next time he sends a let
ter to the president upon this import
ant subject he should take care to
sign his name properly. He should
not affix the name of an organization
with which he has no connection and
which organ zation is endorsing the
West Extension, not fighting it, 1t
is called forgery when man uses an
others name in this manner.
Is the name Umatilla River Water
users Association such a short and
common title that Burgess and his
friends could find no other name for
their association? Why did they not
.can themselves the 'AntiWest Ex-
tension Lacquer" Such name would
have been natural and appropriate
and would have saved confusion.
1t is very evident that when Bur-
CESS, Coe ct al formed their organi-
zation they did not intend to play
square. They wanted to ball up the
situation and through bamboozling
methods delay or defeat the extension.
They We're not squeamish at all. In
his letter to the president Burgess
meant to do one of two things He
meant to be as crooked as possible
without actually getting over the line.
Or else he deliberately forged the
name of the Umatilla River Waterus-
ers' Association in hopes the scheme
would work and the thing go un-
noticed. 1t was a disreputable kind
o. business at the best.
