200 Families Cooperate
To Distribute Necessities

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. %.
Two hundred families. on the
east side Of this city. in the sec
ton where the pressure of the
high cost of living is felt most.
have evolved a scheme to bring
about better conditions of living
Each of these families has paid
IS to a fund to be used to pur-
chase stock for cooperative gro
Gerry store to be run without
profit. This is an effort to elm
mate the waste incident to main
tanning the middle man. In other
words, the families have banded
themselves into cooperative
club for the distribution of neces-
stiles.
w. s. Reed, who is In charge
of the scheme, explains it SO:
1--WE are tired of being exploit
ed by the middleman. The aver
age family pays $40 a month for
groceries. about 20 per cent. of
which is pure profit. We hold
that If 81 month, paid by each
family, VIII meet the running ex-
penses, the surplus had as we'll be
In our pockets as the pocket of
the middle man.

Single Tax---How 1t Works

Also what is proposed that was
good was not distinctively social
istic. For instance: Minimum
wage scales, employers liability
laws, child labor laws, eight-hour
day legislation, workingmen's in
surance and old age pensions, have
all been advocated, and in many
cases carried out, by other than
socialists. The same may be said
of municipalization of public utili-
ties and the naturalization of
highway fsnctions-like railroads,
telegraphs, etc.
None of these thing. however,
If carried to their millennial pre-
lection, or perfect condition. would
be more than palliatives, prolong-
ing the disease, or Alternatives that
would soothe 1t: They could not
cure. All the evils these remedies
treat are but symptoms. The
les of government, ballot reform,
woman's suffrage, corrupt prac-
tice acts, popular senatorial cleo
lions, proportional representation,
direct primaries, direct nomination
and legislative restriction of courts
usurpations have all been advocat-
ed and advanced toward correc-
ton outside of socialist control.
Also is this true of initiative, ref
.erendum, recall, short ballot, COM
mission government and local self
government.
But these,if all perfected, would
be only the TOOLS or MACHIN-
cry of government. with which
the people might make or destroy
themselves more efficiently. These
reforms are in the mechanics and
NOT the economics of government.
In an emergency surgeon has
been known to amputate a limb
with a wood-saw and a iack-knife.
He saved the life of the patient.
But to perfect wood-saws and jack
knives into refined surgical instru-
ments will save no one-we should
know how to use them.
To know that a person is sick
does not constitute medicine or
surgery. A man protesting to be
la physician who is ignorant of
physiology, pathology, hygiene or
medicine we call "quack." A pro-
Tossing surgeon, ignorant of anat-
omy, and running to sharpen
buck-saw to cure patient whose
diagnosis" showed indications"
that called for a Murphy button"
would be considered worse than
quack or charlatan.
Yet we have professional poll
ticians" and "practicing statesmen
who do worse. What should we
call them?
The GEORGIAN SCHOOL of
SOCIOLOGY and THE SINGLE
TAX makes no such mistakes in
domain Of social science.

ARTICLE NO. 10.
BY Edmond Norton.

This shattering of the class-con-
scious labor forces of the agri-
cultural and factory workers of
the world, and their reformation,
alluded to in the last paper, is re-
sulting in the TWO worldwide
movements which are known as
SOCIALISM and SYNDICALISM.
They both have, and propagate
in common, the belief that society,
or civilization, is solidarity; that
1t is an organism that is so CO.
ordinated and interdependent that
"the injury of one is the concern OF
ALL" because it effects all. They
both teach "class-conscious probe
tartan" doctrines-that is: they
affirm themselves industrial
slaves" subject to the ownership
by force, of the "capitalistic own
ers" of the world, which, to them,
cinsists chiefly of machinery or
"tools of production. These doc
trines came from Europe. where
the teachers of it, so some people
think, have been so long surround
ed by machinery that the wheels
have got into their heads. This
doctrine is not truly American.
Slaves may affirm slavery-men
affirm manhood. Slaves resent re-
striction of their POWERS: men
resent interference with their
RIGHTS.
But, whatever names we give to
these thoughts, everybody knows
that most of the claimed condi-
Itions are so. Most of the differ
ence in phraseology, or the names
we use, are due to the viewpoint
and not to the facts. Unjust re-
strictions do exist by which the
"owners" of the world industrially
Ienslave the workers. of the world.
To abolish these unjust condi-
lions Is the object of both these
movements. Both seek to abolish
it by force; but
Socialism proposes to abolish
them by POLITICAL, force through
the orderly possession and hand
ling of government; while
Syndicalism proposes to abolish
them by INDUSTRIAL force, oil
the ultimate DIRECT ACTION
of the GENERAL STRIKE" in
which all workers, irrespective Of
Occupation, trade, standing or ord.
er, will lay down their tools and

Exactly what this FINAL JUSTICE
Is, neither socialism nor syndfcal
ism have ever been able to clearly
state.

world, where 1t has had political
power, either proposed any def
mite remedies that went to the root
of things, or was more than pal.

DRIPs FROM EUREKA SPRINGS.

 The Basin Park Hotel and seven store buildings, belonging to the Sydi- cate Co.,, were sold by E. s. Granger, receiver, last Saturday. The hotel was bought by R. T. Scott, of Paris, Tex, holder of the first mortgage, for $25C00. The store buildings were bought by F. o. Butt and c. A. Fuller for S4500. The hotel was built in 1893 at a cost of about $100,000. Receiver Granger remains in charge of the hotel for the present.
 The Baptist folks are again in a ''muss," twenty seven members of Calvary church having signed request for the resignation of Pastor White, alledging that he was not doing effect i've work. At meeting Saturday eve ming by vote of 22 to 52 the act of the 27 members was condemned and the pastor upheld. Of the number of ''insurgents" two only have recanted and it looks now like Eureka Springs will again have two churches.
