SOCIALISM,.
BY K. \. Dague.

Why do some honest people oppose
Socialism? Because they have not
investigated it and have been misleo
by misrepresentation made by its en-
:lnics. Socialism aims to reconstruct
society, net by violence, but by peace"
ful methods. Its purpose 1t to sub
stitste a cooperative commonwealth
for the present competitive system. It's
object is 70 either abolish the wage
system or so readiust it that every
worker Will. head or hand in every
useful occupation shall receive FIJI
value Of his labor, and no more.
Socialism does not demand that
there shall he no privately owned
property, bit does not content tina:
certoin property such as lands, water,
ell. coal; in sort. those raw matrciaE
that all the people must use, shall no!
be monopoiixed Individually for pr
vatc profit, Int should be Owned col
lectiveiy. }" comparatively; also the
machines lhst produce and distribute
wealth. Property hat is net uscG in
creating more wealth would be indi-
vidually owned. Under Socialism they:
would be no enormously rich nor dis
tres ling poor. The getting of wealth
without returning some value 10" Il
weulI not nc permitted. No industri-
ous person would be unemployed.
Socialists are not trying to iovci
down, but to level up. They arc mol
proposing to divide up property with
others, but want a system that will
prevent spectators and exploitcrs
from compelling item to divide thciY
earnings, which unjustly takes away
three. four3lls OF their earnings, as
the present system does.
IndividualiSm. means that every
man shall ,cok out fer himself, art
content, compete and fight, and bui'd
up his own business at the expense Of
his :ompetitcr-his neighbor. 1t il
based on profits and getting some
thing fer nothing.
Socialism is another name for uni
versal cooperative brotherhood. It's
chief motto is: can injury to one is
the conceNa Ct all"
