10y elaborate statistics. gathered from
all parts Of the.wofld, that the cost of
t lephone and telegraph service is from
two to ten times as much in the United
States as in the other, countries where
these means of communication are
owned by the government.
The profits of the telegraph and tel
ephone systems last year was $58, 70O,-
900, according to ALLAN Benson in
Pearson's for June, 1914. The public
ownership of these systems would
therefore save the people of this nation
nearly $50, 000,o00 year, - and this
could go, part of it oward increasing
the income of labor and improving the
conditions of the working class, and
the rest of it for the reduction Of the
rates, leaving still safe margin OF
Iprofit for the government.
Undoubtedly, with proper manage,
ment and organization, we could have
telephone service at a penny call, or
at two cents at the most, and at the
same time we could considerably i'm.
prove the conditions Of all the people
who are enjoyed in this great industry.

Why cannot the United States gov
eminent take this tremendous army
Of unemployed that is now going to
worse than waste, and set it to work
raising beef, weaving cloth, operating
trains and producing those things of
which we stand so much in need?
To say that the United Estates gov
eminent, if permitted to do SO, could
not do all Of these things and more is
to say that the United States govern
ment is administered by fools. Such is
not the fact. The United States gov.
eminent is administered by men far
above the average in intelligence. But
the United States government is also
administered by men who are pledged
to the support of the capitalist system.
If these gentlemen did not so believe
they would not have the government in
their charge.

first, that the people own the govern
ment and thenl ct the government
own the trusts.

UNEMPLOYMENT

Squared on by the experiences of the
winter of 191341914, three states, Louis
lana, maryland and New York, made
provisions for public bureaus to put
employment givers and employment
seekers in touch with one another. The
most important of these law Is that OF
New York, which created bureau OF
employment within the state depart
mert Of labor, with branches through
out the state in the discretion Of the
commissioner. The people of Washing
ton, incensed at long standing abuses,
practically abolished private employ
Iment agencies in their state by pro
hibiting the taking of fees from appli-
