A SMALL CITY, TOO.

reducttonaof four and one-half mills in
the city tax levy, new $4,000 NUM-
cipal mountain waterworks system,
two miles Of paving and maacdam of
which half is finished; several miles of
new sewers; side street lighting con
ducts; new fire department equipment
and the practical assurance of $40
acres of coal land for municipal coal
mine are few of the great improve
ments inaugurated in Grand junction
since the commission form of govern
ment was adopted in 1909.
In view of this remarkable record
there are not fifteen per cent of the
thinking voters of the city who would
return to the old boss-ridden gang
controlled ward system in vogue here
when this city was freshWater town
The five commissioners under the
charter must give their entire atten-
ton to the city's welfare.
The last Board of Aldermen voted
a tax levy of 81 mills. The next levy
under the commission form of govern
ment was 26.5 mills, and it has been
held at this figure since, although TO,
the last two years one mill has been
used for advertising purposes.
Under the ward political regime, the
question of mountain waterworks was
held up by factional fights for more
than fifteen years. 1t is now complet-
ed and is the finest system in western
Colorado.
One of the finest results of the COM
mission form is the securing Of $40
acres of coal land from the govern
ment for municipal coal mine. This
was first suggested by the city COM
missioners and is being brought to
realization through Congressman E. r.
Taylor. 1t sets precedent for the
entire United States.-From New York

could buy with the money that stolen from the miners
III the first place. Thug guards first employed
then the military and finally the courts All at the
service Of the coal barons of the state and all hurled
at the little fighting group of mine workers. And still they
have not been crushed Hundreds Of them have been
rested dozens have been sentenced dozens have been kill
ed and yet such their glorious spirit that the coal strike
is not crushed.
The Kanawha county miners have shown the world an
example Of working class solidarity and splendid courage
Much of the credit is due Mother Jones' that wonderful
old who went up in the regions controlled by the
mine guards places where could co. and agitated
and educated and federated Men organizers had tried
before only to be beaten by the hired thugs driven out
Some killed. But for than year they feared
to touch this little old woman who carried her eighty
years with her as she tramped the roads, climbed the
mountains walked the ties and waded the creeks
carrying the message of industrial solidarity to the thou
sands who, before her coming, were hopeless.
Finally, gOaded to desperation, the mine owners SCI
their possession Of the military the courts and the
state government kidnapped her in Charleston civil
warrant and took her into the military where they
arrested her military warrant The poor fools think
they have ended the agitation And they can't understand
why the miners are fighting harder than

ton but increased it. It has made her voice carry farther

few individuals at the loss Of humanity.

4, Most of the people opposed to the
new charter advance inane reasons.
The following is conversation that
has taken place some fifty or sixty
times in the last few days.
What do you think of the new
charter?"

consideration"
why not?H
well, So-and-So voted for it and
therefore l am against it."
ooh, l see. Have you read the new
charter?"
tNo."
Had it explained to your"
mo"
Then you don't know what the
new charter contains?"
No. but I'm against"
"For all you know, the new char
ter might be the Ten Command
ments?"
well, yes, I suppose that's true
Then if So-and-So we're in favor
of the Constitution of the United
States, you would vote against it?"
mo, ! wouldn't do that"
"Yet, you haven't read the new
charter, don't know whether it is a
better document than the old Char
ter, and yet because So-and-so is for
it, you would vote against it."
~ Now, Gentle Reader, don't you vote
against the charter because So-and-so
is for it. Don't be a knocker because
somebody else is a booster

Of the workers who in their great
numbers, comprising men, women and
children, must gain access to the
land and machines in order to live,
and who bidding against each other fod
this privilege, which should be held
a right, they force the consideration
of their slavery down to the point of
subsistence"
Both OF these conditions" the
speaker declared, twas inhibitive of
the establishment and perpetuation of
democracy and those free institutions
so necessary to the life of civiliza-
ton" y
The speaker then continuing his
analysis Of capitalism, discussed what
is termed Surplus value" which he
declared to be the wealth produced by
the worker, which on account of their
wages being equal to only one-fifth
of the product, they were not permit
ted to consume, and which the capital.
list class, being few in number. could
not consume, and for which therefore,
market must be found.
He then srecounted the wastes in
cident to the marketing of this surplus
value and finally returned to the dis
cussion of vice and crime and disease
and insanity and suicide, showing that
all these evils result from poverty,
which Is produced by capitalism, and
he concluded by defying the Republi-
cans, Democrats and Progressives to
answer his arguments and by making
an appeal for stronger and better or
ganization Of the working class with
which to build the republic of labor.

SOCIALISTS doubtless greatly pleased now that
the News has undertaken to keep them straight and
hewng to the line. It is unfortunate though that their
joy will be mixed with regret that this advice their
historic mission in the matter of the Wheeling charter
should filter through organ published in the interests
OF the Big Business Graft that Socialists believe their
philosophy destined to abolish.
The "News', in it's rather remarkable editorial ex-

THE author of this gem is unknown,
They took little. gravel, &
And they took a little tar,
With various ingredients
Imported from afar.
, They hammered it and rolled it,
sand when they went away,
They said they had pavement
IA That would last for many day
But they came with picks and ,smote it
To lay water main;
And in time they called the workmer
To put it back again.
To run a railway cable
They took fit up once more.
And, later put it back again
Just where it was before.
They took it up fot conduits
To run the telephone -
And then they put it back again,
As hard as any stone.
They took it up for wires
To feed the 'lectric light,
And then they put it back again.
Which was no more than right.
Oh the payement's full of burrows
There are patches everywhere;
You'd like to ride upon it,
But it's seldom that you dare.
It's a very handsome pavement,
And a credit to the town;
They're always digging of it up
Or putting of it down.
