the. social use of the modern indus

Is Socialism MaterIallstic3

Philosophical materialism attempts
to explain the structure of the uni
verse. Some Socialists accept 1t,
some reject it. and the most Of us
know nothing about it. But Socialism
does not function in that field.
Biological science deals with the de-
velopment of plant and animal life.
It shows that all living forms that
may have been evolved from single
cell. Most students and many social,
lists accept the evolutional theory.
Socialism has to do with the laws
OF social development. The line of de-
marcation between Darwinism and
Marxism is plainly shown by Dr.
Anton Pannekoek. Darwinism brings
animal life down to the appearance
of man as a social being. Marxism
starts with man at that point and
brings him the rest Of the way. 4
Socialism as a science is material
istic only in the sense that it deals
with materials. All life manifests it.

in giving you very briefly my opinion
on this subject.
THE man is totally zen arriere'

understands nothing of the nature OF
surplus value, and becomes involved
in arguments about the separate parts
OF surplus value, (such as the rela.
lions of profit, rent, interest, ETC.
which have come down from the Eng.
fish Economists.
THE basis of his dogma is, that
to put everything in order, the rent OF
land must be paid to the state.
Transitionary Expedient.
This conception belongs originally
to "bouregoise" political economy; it
was given weight afterwards by the
first radical disciple of Ricardo, soon
after the death of the latter. In 1847,
in my writings against Proudhon, /
spoke of it as follows: We can under
stand that economists such as Mill
(the elder, not John STUART, Cherbu-
lies, Hilditch and others should have
demanded that rent be paid to the
state as acquittal for taxes. This is
frank expression of the hatred
which the industrial capitalist bears
to the landowner, whom he regards
as superfluous and not necessary. in
the ensemble of caitalistic production.
We, ourselves, have considered this
theory Of the appropriation of land
rent by the state among many other
transitionary expedients which, as
we have pointed out in the manifesto.
are and must be full of contradioZ
tons r
But to make from this desideratum
of the radical English bourgeois econ
omists the panacea for socialism, and

ROCK ISLAND LINE
To DOUBLE TRACK
Improvement to Be Made Be-
tween Davenport and CouD-
Gil Bluffs in Near Future.

About 100000 is to be spent
next year by the Rock Island for i'm
provements A share of this sum is
to be expended in double tracking a
portion OF the Iowa division.
/ The announcement comes indirect
" through T. NJ. Schumacher. chair
man OF the board OF directors. who
has just completed an 5000 mile in
spection tour OF the Rock Island prop
critics.
No announcement Is made as to
when the work is to start, but IL will
be early in the spring. Work on the
east side shops and terminals, it is
expected, will also be commenced
early in the spring. Chairman Schu-
macher has expressed himself favor
able to the plans although informa-
( ton received at this point is of an in
direct character and is not announced
as an Official expression of the plans
OF the company.
The double tracking is TO be eX-
tended from West Liberty through to
Council Bluffs, but the work is not to
be done in one year. Two years or
more will be required for the work.
Il is estimated that the laying of a
parallel track will cost SIS, 900 a mile
The company has approximately 247
miles of track between the points
named exclusive of IL miles of long
sidings which have been laid from
time to time to expedite the move
ment of traffic and with the ultimate
purpose of connecting them up when
the road is ready to double track.
When Mr.. Schumacher was in this
city he announced that money for such
purposes was available. He has reit-
Grated the statement upon several oc-
casions since. Mr. Schumacher has
agreed to the need of a double track
for the Iowa division. He did not
favor the idea of a double track for
the Missouri Valley division, where
the freight hauls are largely on
through business and the need of the
double track is therefore not so evil
dent. II is expected that the first Of
fetal announcement of the company
viii be made after the matter is pre- I
sented to the board of directors and I
voted on.
II is believed by some Rock Island I
officials that the matter of double I
the Iowa division was an
ticipated when r. J. Gibson was 4
brought from Texas and made superin-
tendent OF the Iowa division. Superin- /
