POLITICAL VERSUS DIRECT ACTION

created value is robbery; 10 see this
fact one need only be moral. only
avowed gamblers, seeking to live from
others toll can sanction a system,
which more than any other, enables
some to live i'm luxury, without per
forming one dollars worth of social
service.
Government not only permits this
gigantic robbery. but actively aids it

for government protected land titles,
owners of vacant land in congested
cities would experience considerable
difficulty in preventing impoverished
workers from erecting primitive dwell
ings and living, rent free, on such
land, at least in the summer, when
more expensive dwellings were not so
necessary. The Weyerhaeuser Tim
Der Company and the railroads own
much timber all through the West.
without government, their paper titles
would often be disregarded by working
people. Since the earth should be
owned by all, share and share alike,
a government which denies us equal
acces to the earth, without which labor
is impossible, merits unqualified op-
position. Governments cannot ethically
rob the majority of their heritage and
governments founded on injustice are
built upon the sands.
Moreover, our government has al
ways secured practically all its rev.
enue from a tariff, by which all citi-
zens contributed about equal amounts,
in fragrant violation of the first prin-
ciple of equitable taxation, that all
citizens should contribute to govern
ment in proportion to their ability to
pay. 1t takes this money so unjustly
collected and spends more than half
of it on wars, past, present and fu-
ture. War is the wholesale slaughter
of human beings in cold blood. BY
virtue of what divine exemption, may

JOIN THE PARTY-PAY YOUR
DUES.

We want to ask you an honest ques-
ton:
ARE YOU A SOCIALIST?
And another question:
IF YOU ARE A SOCIALIST, are
you working for the cause by using
the best and most up-to-date methods?
Today all achievements worthy of
mention are cooperative achievements,
organized achievements. Individuals
today do not count for much. Organi-
cations of individuals constitute a
power and the only power which is
given consideration. No matter where
you look individuals are organizing
Fraternal unions, political unions,
labor unions, farmers unions, capitals
lists unions, unions Of every kind.
Everybody acknowledges that in I'M
ion there is power. Power is what is
needed to win.
Are you a Socialist? And if you
are, should you not unite with the
other Socialists and adopt the best
known methods in order that We may
gain the power 10 win?
All Socialists agree upon funda-
meutals SO upon the fundamental
principles of Socialism We unite. You

There is no modern question SO

In our own United States, the gov

Editor Commonwealth:

Editor Commonwealth:
A typographical error in last weeks
issue of your paper makes me say "If
the Socialist could confine his socio-
logical Investigations to the study of
prejudices of today's complex ques-
tions, he would escape the odium that
he must now endure" What I wrote
was this: "If the Socialist could con-
fine his sociological Investigations to
the study of primitive peoples, far
away from the prejudices of today's
complex questions, he would escape
the political odium that he must now
endure"
Please publish this statement in
your next issue so that your readers
will not charge me with such an err
roneous conclusion.
Yours fraternally,
ALBERT STROUT.

may not like certain individuals in the
organization. or you may not agree
with some Of the detail work the or
ganization has decided to do. This is
no reason why a Socialist should not
be a member of our organization. AS
we said. we are organized because we
agree upon the fundamental principles
of Socialism, not because we agree
upon certain type of individual or
upon minor details
We are organized to teach others
these fundamental principles of So
cialism We can teach more individ-
uals quicker and better in an organ
lied manner. We want to secure the
best results in the surest and quickest
way with the least expenditure. So
we organize to do this.
Now if an organization is to be at
all successful, every individual it is
composed of must be an active work
ing unit of the whole. If part of the
organization takes a step in advance
now and another part next week and
others next month or next year, the
results are not at all what they would
be if we all advanced together unit
eddy. And so regularity in everything
is one of the requirements for good or
ganization. Regularity in attending to
the business of the organization. Reg
ularity in performing the educational
work the organization has decided
upon. And regularity in the payment
of dues in order that all this may be
regularly done.
That is our point, comrade. If we
are ever to gain the power to win, we
must all move together. We must agi-
tate together WE MUST PAY To-
GETHER. The regular payment of
monthly dues is the best habit you
can get into. 1t means that the inter
national committee, the national COM
mittee, the state committee and the
local committees will have a strong,
steady income for purposes Of edu-
eating our fellow men and women.
This small sum from many workers,
monthly and regularly, has solved the
problem of financing our great move
ment for freedom for the workers.
Comrade, get organized. Become
regular. Don't hold back. Don't be
careless. 1t is the highest privilege
extant today to be a paid-up member
of the greatest movement this earth
has ever known. Take the large view,
comrade. This is not merely local
movement, nor county movement,
nor a state movement, nor national
movement. 1t is all of these and much
more. It is a world movement for
human emancipation. Do not allow
local differences to keep you out of
this great work. Remember when
you join you join the Socialist Party
of the World.
There may be questions you want
to ask There may be information you
want. You may want to know to
whom to pay your back dues. In that
case write to this office and we will
gladly help you all we can. We are
here for that purpose. We are your
servants. But above all things, get
busy this minute and start to square
yourself with our international Social
list movement Let us hear from you
Fall in, comrade, and in one solid or
ganization, let us make short work OF
bloody capitalism.
Yours for united action,

State Secretary.

DISTRICT BODY
TO MEET TODAY
House Committee Members
VIII Hold First Bust
ness Session.
CHANCE TO MAKE RECORD
Personnel Has Been Carefully Selected
and Much Good Legislation Is
Expected This Winter.

The first meeting of the House District
Committee for this session has been
called for this morning in the committee
rooms. This will be the first meeting
to transact business of the present COM
mittee, the meetings last summer having
been for the purpose Of listening to testi-
mony on various subjects.
The organization OF the committee, ap-
pointing of subcommittee and referring
OF bills already before the committee to
subcommittee probably viii take up all
the time at today's meeting.
The District Committee starts out this
year with a better opportunity to make
a record for good legislation than ever
before in recent years. Two years of in
vestigating have given several members
Of the committee an insight into District
affairs that should stand them In good
stead. Seldom has a District Committee
been more carefully selected than the
present. Many of the members OF both
parties have had experience in municipal
affairs.
The new committee starts out with a
ment with other bodies having to do with
District legislation than has been the rule
before now. and, in addition. the Demo
cratic members have no other committee
assignments to distract their attention
from District affairs
Indications now point to a determination
to buckle down to real work on the part
OF old and new members.

John Barrett. Director General of the

the latter's first appearance on the lee

wonderful stereopticon views Of the canal
building. he succeeded admirably in en-
tertaining the large audience.

will be the principal feature of today's
meeting The -talked-of States

TAKEN" replied Senator Cummins. II
begun my fight against legislation by
caucus in 1SSS, when a member of the
Iowa legislature; I refused to 60 into a
Republican caucus"
Senator Lewis read what purported to
be history Of railway legislation under
Gov. Cummins, which tended to show
that the Senator from Iowa had relied
on the party caucus.
Senator Cummins insisted he had never
asked for a caucus Senator Lewis read
from some OF Mr.. Cummins' messages
to the legislature trying to prove that
they were as EDITORIAL In tone as any,
thing President Wilson had transmitted
to Congress.
Senator Sutherland, of Utah, closed the
debate on the Kern resolution by attack
ing the Democratic leaders for legislating
in secret by minority of the Democratic
caucus, and then coming into the Sem
ate and asking the entire Senate to ratify
the caucus action.
The Kern resolution was displaced by
the Hetch Hetchy bill. Once that meas
ure was before the Senate, Senator
Reed of Missouri took the floor and made
a speech on the currency bill. He at
tackled the Glass bill as 1t passed the
House. The Senator, who has been &C
tive as a member of the Banking Com
mittee in shaping the Owen bill. insisted
that the defects in the Glass bill had been
corrected as the result of the hearings
accorded by the Senate committee.
With the conclusion of Senator Reeds
speech, the Senate took up the Hetch
Heachy hill and continued its considera-
ton until the close OF the night session.

COMMITTEE REJECTS
RULE LIMITING DEBATE
Senate Body Refuses to Act FavorabIy
on Resolution Offered by
Senator Owen.

The Senate Committee on Rules refused
yesterday to act favorably on a resolu-
ton offered by Senator Owen imposing
cloture rule on the Senate that would
limit debate. The committee agreed to
report favorabIy a resolution offered by
Senator Williams of Mississippi, which
permits Senators who are paired to
announce their presence in the Senate
chamber for the purpose OF making a
quorum, although they cannot be re-
corded as voting on the pending measure
in violation of pairs.
The new rule provides that: ANY
Senator may arise and declare that he Is
paired and state how he would vote IL
not paired, and may add that being
present he desires to be so recorded, in
order to constitute quorum, whercupon
he shall be so recorded and his presence
as a part OF the quorum announced by
the chair"
The committee reported favorably a
resolution by Senator Cummins, amend
ing the Senate rules, allowing a separate
vote on items in a conference report. Un-
der the existing rule, the vote must be
taken on conference report as a whole.
A favorable report also was ordered on
a resolution by Senator Bacon providing
that hereafter the Senate shall not enter
into a unanimous consent agreement in
the absence of a quorum.
The committee deferred action on a
resolution by Senator Stone Of Missouri
to abolish the monorail system of trans
porting Senators between the Capitol
Building and the Senate Office Building
through the subway. Senator Stone COM
planned that the mOnorail system made
such a harsh noise that It weighed heav-
lily on his nerves, and demanded the re-
storation Of automobiles

The Senate devoted several hours yes

bill. Senator Thompson Of Kansas spoke
in support Of the measure, and Senator

favor of an amendment that would limit

UNIFORM SKYLINE FAVORED.
Inspector Hacker Urges Regulations
for Buildings Facing on Parks.

Need of regulations providing for a uni
form skyline OF buildings erected on
squares facing parks or other public

ject of letter recently received by Build
ing Inspector Morris Hacker from Col.
Harris, in charge Of public buildings and
grounds and executive officer of the Fine
Arts Commission. Mr.. Hacker has
brought the recommendation before the
Commissioners.
In Mr.. Hackers regular monthly re-
port it is shown that building operations
for November have been active. 333 build
ing permits involving sS44G33, having been
issued. OF this improvement. the largest
share, SS6l.4S9. falls to the county. The
amount spent for new structures was

pairs.
