It was natural that feudalism and
the early centuries of capitalism
should give birth to the doctrine of
non-interference with industry. Pro-
duction was indiVidualistic and this
naturally gave birth to Individuals
tic ideas of political economy.
Capitalism has evolved from the
indiVidualistic production of feudal-
ism to the social production of our
day. Production today Is a co-opera-
tive effort. We work together, and
through our collective work we bring
into existence the necessities and lux
uries of our civilization. Let the min
ers go on strike for long enough pc

It is this social production which
/ has given birth to our IDEAS Of social
control.
That this progressive spirit must
crystalline into a. demand for a reor-
ganization of our system of produc-
ton to fit the facts Of social produc
ton is the basic principle Of Social
ism.
Already we have an effort by the
capitalists to seize upon this pro-
gressiye spirit and to use it to- es-
tablish benevolent feudalism, in
which the parasitic capitalist class
will continue to receive it's interests
and dividends, in the organization OF
the National Progressive Party.
To educate and organize the work
ing class SO that this transformation
may result is an industrial democ-
racy is the object of Socialism.
"Progressivism" today stands mere
ly for government regulation of the
relations between the workers and
the Industrial masters. Industrial
democracy means ownership of the
tools of production by the workers
and their own regulation Of the work
of production and distribution.

The Meaning Of Progressivism
Gay c. E. Ruthenbsrg.)

Just prior to the election one Of the
monthly magazines published sympo.
SUM by representatives OF various
political parties. each pointing out that
the party he or she represented was
progressive and on that account de-
served the support of the voters. :
While some of the progressivism set
forth in this symposium looked rather
suspicious, on the whole the idea pre-
sented showed remarkable breaking
away from previously accepted ideals
and principles.
The dominant principle of political
economy during the first few hundred
years OF capitalism was laissez-faire.
The government which interfered least
with trade and manufacture was CON
sidered the best government. 70 be

advance has been tremendous. In
Ohio, for instance, constitutional
amendments have been adopted pro-

labor, compensation of injured work

tect the health and comfort of those
employed in the industries of the
state. 1t is fact that not only have
the people at large overridden the
ancient doctrine of laissez-faire, but
the capitalists themselves have aban-
doned it. Poor old laissez-faire has
got so badly battered that today the
small business men and merchants
are crying for government interfer-
ence to save them from the monsters
which the system they wish contin-
ued has created-the great trusts and
corporations. In some instances the
great capitalists themselves are call

If any of a baby's tiny but complicated
