We were very pleased to note
that our editorial of last week on
the question Of improvements met
with very decided favor in some
influential quarters. The need for
improvement of the water works is
so self-apparcnt that no one hav-
ing the welfare of the ciry and the

questing them to give him inform
alton rs to how the department. Of
agriculture can best serve the
needs Of the farm woman.
These letters will be addressed.

Official Crop Correspondents" and
will be sent to the full list Of crop
correspondents for transmission to
the women members Of their house
holds. With each letter will be
supplied a return envelope in
which the women can forward
their suggestions.
This inquiry results from the re-
ceipt of 4 letter addressed to the
secretary in which the writer said:
THE farm woman has been the
most neglected factor in the rural
problem and she has been especial,
" neglected by the national de
partment Of agriculture.
This letter was written, not by a
woman, but by broad minded
man SO thoroughly in touch with
the agricultural and domestic needs
of the country that his opinions
have great weight. Following the
receipt of this letter the secretary
determined that the best way for
the department to learn how to
give these women the fullest pos
sible aid and service which their
important place III agricultural
production warrants, was to write
to the women themselves and ask
them to make their own sugges.
tions.
In the letter these women are
invited to give individual answers
to the letter or to discuss the mat
ter in their church societies or wo-
mems organizations and submit
answers representing the combined
opinions of the women of their en-.
tire communities. The answers
are requested not later than Nov.
Is, and this date is set because it
will give the women time after
harvest to consider the matter and
discuss it with their women neigh
bors.
This letter will go to about 20
leading farms in each Of the $500
counties of the United States.
Their answers, it is expected, will
represent the views and opinions
of upwards Of 100000 farm women.
These answers will be carefully
considered by the specialists Of the
department having to do with that
branch of agricultural activity.

The translator secretaries Of the
various foreign speaking orgoniza-
tions are of course, deeply inter
ested in this work and stand ready
at all times to assist the comrades in
every possible way.
Local Work on Naturalization Nee
essary-This department would sug-
gest that wherever there is a large
foreign speaking populations, the so
cialists should appoint local commit
tees to familiarize themselves with
the laws on naturalization and the
process for securing the naturaliza-
tion papers and then push the work
systematically and energetically in
their communities. The national of
flee could assist in many ways, but
it would be impossible for it to push
the matter as it should be, in the var
ious communities far removed from
here.
We are assured that in many Of the
larger cities there are thousands of
Socialists who do not vote because
they are not citizens. We are also
told repeatedly that the process of
naturalization is not going on as rap
idly as it should. If these things are
true, the comrades should give this
matter special attention and, if pos
sible, organize local committees to
push the work.
Technical Legal Questions-If in the
course of the work of securing natu-
the comrades encounter
technical legal questions which they
are unable to answer, they may ap-
peal to the information department
and we will give them all possible as
sistance. Meanwhile, many questions
may be referred directly to the chief
of the naturalization bureau, Mr.. A. M.
Sturgis, Ats Post Office building, Chi
cago.
This department will be glad to re-
ceive any suggestions, information or
assistance from comrades throughout
the country upon this subject.

constitutional | will work head and
toenails to have our state officials re-
called. So much for their anarchistic
methods.
Now as to the charge of not being
competent we only need common
horse sense to refute that statement,
because the records in this state are
far ahead of any state in the Union.
The Commonwealth made that clear
not long ago, and on the top of the
showing we made in the last election
besides having proportionally a larger
membership than any state in the
Union, there is something like four
thousand dollars in the treasury be-
sides. Does this look like we had a
bunch of ignoramuses for executives?
Will some of you who holler incom-
potency please sit up and take notice?
There is one thing we can charge
them of lack in, and that is buor-
geois ethics. Like all good socialists
they despise its hypocrisy. In con-
clusion 1 wish to urge upon every red
card member to study for themselves
and not be misled by demagogues.
Read the State Bulletin, keep posted
on all referendums, study the consti-
tuition, do your own thinking, be from
Missouri, don't be a sheep, don't be
prejudiced, study for yourself and be-
come scientific. I have met many
state committeeman who never read
the Bulletin, let alone the constitu-
ton, and some of them even didn't
know the names of our state officials.
Yet these same comrades are ready to
criticise our state organization. Why?
Because somebody told someone some
thing Don't be one of those kind. Do
your own knowing, don't let the other
fellow know for you. Although he
may be smart, he may nevertheless
give you bum stear. The emancipa-
ton of our class does not depend on
smart men. It's the average intelli-
gence of the whole class that counts.
Yours for the revolution,
A. o. HAUGEN.

So YOU see. Mr. Jones. the very same
reasons which made II necessary to
eliminate private ownership and
control of highways and sbsti.
tute public ownership and control,
make II necessary to eliminate pri.

Jones looked bewlidered. '1s that
all there Is to Socialism,? he asked.

thought II meant the abolition of all
private property and that we all were
to be placed on n dead level and each

Now it was Smiths turn to laugh,
after which he said, yes, Jones, you
are like the majority of the common
people, you get your information
about Socialism from anti-Socialist
magazines, trust-owned newspapers,
and politicians. Wake up, Jones"
added Smith as he extended his hand
for a parting clasp, wake up and do
some thinking for yourself. Find out
what Socialism really is and then sup
port the only political party that has
found the solution of the great econo-
mic problem facing the world today.

same as that which appears in the
pamphlet on that subject The cam
paign book can be secured from the

ties and comforts of life. What does
the private owner of the mines. mills,
factories. etc, do? lie does exactly
as the private owner of the road once
did. He charges the people n toll for
the use of these things. This toll
amounts to more than half of the
value Of what the people produce in
the various industries. A consider,
able part of this toll is used by the
private owner or owners to pay rent,
interest advertising and other ox-
penditures which are necessary only
under the private ownership system.
That part of the toll which remains
after these expenses are met goes to
the owners as profit. Just as the
owner of the highway would in some
cases close It up entirely. SO do the
owners of the industries suspend
operations without regard to the
people whenever conditions arise
which make Il Improbable for them
to continue.
therefore, the system of private
ownership in the means of production
and distribution is undesirable be-
cause under it the sources and in
struments by which the majority of
the people gain their livelihood are
not as easily accessible as they might
be; neither are all people given an
