What the projects Of the west
Settler Needs. that federal irriga-
ton is right AMI that
private irrigation, save for small pro-
jects, is undesirable. He contends al
50 that the 10 year paying period is
too short and that settlers should
have 20 years in which to pay out
and that for the first four or five
years they should be exempt from pay
ments
The views expressed show that the
secretary has clear grasp of this
problem and the west is fortunate in
having such a man at the head of the
interior department. The plan of re-
quiring uniform payments from set
tiers and forcing settlers to start their
payments Immediately upon taking the
land was the heighth Of absurdity. He
should be exempt from payments un-
til his land becomes productive-eyen
If TO provide this boon it should be
necessary to impose a low interest
charge.

There Is way to Make hens Lay
Besides the very essential matters of
housing, feeding, and making them
comfortable.
Mature DEGREES that no fowl in its
original wild state should lay an egg
III cold weather, and it will take all
your cunning to combat that law.
Its mighty foolish thing to force
a fowl past its health, for it is fatal
to egg production, but you can force
a fowl to such a state of vigor that
the desire to lay eggs keeps up the
wear around, AND HEALTH
NEVER YET HURT ANY LIV-
ING THING.

A Mastery Socialist Lecture.

Opening a course of Lyceum lee
lures which is to continue at intervals
throughout the year, Mr.. Bruce Rog-
ers held forth for two hours last Mon
day evening to a crowd that filled the
town hall to overlooking. Accustomed
as some are to thinking of the social
list speakers as breathing red fire and
TRADES of abuse, this masterful adj
dress taught the old party voters who
were in the audience that something
must be done with the socialist be-
sides prosecuting or ignoring them,
and if they have many such speakers
it is plain to be seen that there must
be preparation made to meet them, or
see the country swept into a socialist
is republic. 1t is doubtful if there are
many men who in the presence of
American citizens can so fearfully in
dict the government and hold up the
present order of society to such CON
tempt and ridicule. Some of Mr.. Rog-
ers' utterances seemed almost treas
enable, and yea there seems no escape
from his conclusions. With the per
suasiveness of a trained orator, the
zeal and sincerity of a crusader and,
withal volley after volley of inescap-
able logic, he implored his hearers to
inquire and diligently study into the
sources Of the power which really
governs us.
Instead of abusing the old parties
in terms of hatred and invective, Mr..
Rogers uses the more subtle and eff
fective weapons of ridicule and satire.
One has almost TO shudder at his pic
ture of how helpless the nominal gov
eminent really is, at the mercy Of
trusts, even under am administration
by anyold party, acting i'm good faith,
because the government is actually
dependent upon them for the vital
supplies of its army, and Tor IT'S trans

ences at Ten Mile, Wiser Lake and

Saturday evening" Feb. 23, Local
Birmingham gave literary program
in the school house. This first effort
of the comrades to entertain and in
struct was a great success. The build
ing was filled to its full seating ca
pacity. The most uncompromising So
cialist haters were loud in their APP
probation of the entertainment. After
a selection by the Little German Band
Comrade J. NJ. Salter outlined the pur-
pose and aims of the new local and
what might be expected of the COM
rades in the future. He made no ar
gument for socialism but showed how
the movement was gaining such ire
mendous Roadway that it was but a
matter of time until capitalism must
give way to the cooperative common
wealth; that it was now matter OF
educating the people so they could
catch up to the industrial develop
ment of the country. Local Birming-
ham was simply going to do its share
in the great revolutionary movement
by contributing funds and awakening
and educating the people within its
reach. REGULATIONS and songs reflect
ing the interests and revolutionary
aims of the working class was the or
der of the entertainment

Comments on Worlds Class Struggle

Siang. Every member Of this league
swears never to pay rent, but to prac-
tice true fraternity and equality.
The landlords appealed to the auth
critics and soldiers were sent to sub
due the peasants. But the soldiers
were met with guns also and after
serious battle in which both sides lost
heavily, the peasants won.
There motto now is, mot a tael for
the proprietors. The land belongs to
the peasants. If they kill us, we are
here, men, women and children, ready
to defend ourselves as well as pos
sible." This is the motto of the So
called backward Chinese workers. Has
the American workers a better one to
offer?

Program

The following program comprises
those issues which are of peculiar in
terest to the working class. and it will
be followed by the socialist candl-
dates II elected:
I. Relief for the unemployed by
initiating needed public improvements,
especially during those periods when
the breakdown of the capitalist sys-
tenn causes the keenest suffering
among the workers who are unable
to find employment at their usual oc-
equations.
2. The abolition of the contract
system as n method of doing munich
pal work; all public work to be done
by the day. under the direct supervi-
sion of municipal officers and under
the prevailing union hours, rules and
wages, union labor being given the
preference.
3. A minimum wage of $3.50 per
day and Is days annual vacation for
all city laborers, a halliday holiday
per week exclusive of Sunday. with
weekly payment to all city employees
4. The abolition of all private en-
ployment offices, the city to be COM
PEELED to operate a REAL free en-
ployment bureau in the interest of
the workers.
5. No working of city prisoners
and no punishment for vagrancy.
6. A free city hospital and dispen-
sary, with nominal rates for those
who wish to pay for service.
7. A free city crematory.
8. A public auditorium to cost
$75O,OO0, to be maintained at cost Of
operation Seating capacity to be at
least 10000.
8. Rigid enforcement of civil SER
vice rules and extension of the same
to all departments.
10. The proper enforcement of law
and order, but in no wise to permit
the use of the police force for private
ends and to break strikes or in perse-
cutting any one coming within their
power, especially in obtaining incrim-
mating evidence by means of what is
known as the Third Degree" or tor
ture method. Also, that all persons
under arrest be furnished clean beds
and wholesome food.
II. A health department which
shall really represent the working
class. We find the present admins
tration absolutely in the control of
greedy landlords, and that many work
ers are living in unsanitary novels and
shacks with no improvements or COM
forts, which should be condemned as
unfit for human habitation.
The socialist party exists for the
purpose of overthrowing the control
of government as exercised by the
capitalist class, and to put the work
ers in possession of all industries.
We call the attention of the work
ers of Seattle that they can not
achieve freedom by securing control
of Seattle alone. They must unite
with their fellow-workers to secure
control of the state and national gov
eminent, also.
The socialist party, therefore, calls
upon the workers of Seattle to unite
with it for this and every other cam
paign thus joining the great interna-
tional socialist movement, which
stands for the working class through
out the civilized world.
