SOCIALISM TRIED AND FOUND
WANTING.

In Cardoba. Argentine. there is
beautiful park system. was inter-
ested by the incidental discovery of a
matter, worthy of attention Of our
own students of social betterment.
The municipality has recently gone
into the business of providing homes
for the worlingmen who desire to
get them. The municipality buys
land and constructs the home. 1t
sells it to the householder on terms
that include payment by the latter of
per cent. per year of the purchase
price. In fifteen years the house
and land become absolutely the
mans own. }& FlFt.s fsf
An effort is being made to apply
the same sustem to agricultural
lands. for the purpose Of encouraging
immigrants to settle down and be-
come owners and tillers of the soil.
The proposal is that in each parish
the government shall purchase some
5000 acres and sell the land in
small lots on terms somewhat SINH
lar to those mentioned above to &C.
tual settlers who live on and till the
soil.
It will be noticed from the above
that the Argentinians are thoroughly
awake to the need of having small
land owners, and also that they have
no faith whatever in any of the theo-
ries that would abolish ownership in
property or even ownership in land.
This may be due to the fact that part
| of the business of the nation in its
northern country is even yet that of
civilizing the Indian; and almost the
worst obstruction to civilizing the In
dian is the fact that the Indian actu-
ally practices the theories of certain
advanced socialists. The Indians OF
the Chaco, in practice, have no per-
sonal property. The result is that
they are all kept at the level of the
shiftless, the idle, and the incompe-
tent. In practice it proves to be i'm
possible to elevate them until they
are. given the chance to have person
al property which is not to be shared
with the shiftless and idle.
Among these Indians applied So
cialism has simply meant that any
property acquired by anybody is
shared with the worthless members
of the tribe. The result has been
the positive refusal of the thrifty
and far-sighted to go into the bust
ness of accumulating goods for their
less worthy brothers, so that the en-
tire social life is stagnant. In the
Argentine Republic at the present,
and during the immediate past, it
has been proved by actual experience
that the only way to get a betterment
of social and industrial conditions is
to give the average man the chance
to get property for himself If he pos
sesses the necessary energy. indus
try and thrift, and this means that
he must not only be protected again
st the big man who would exploit
him, but that also must be protected
against the small man who is lazy or
thriftless or vicious.
In practice the possession of prop
erty, and the chance to possess prop
erty as the result of honest and in
telligent toll, offer the chief incent-
ives for the growth of well-b eing
and of civilization.-Colo Roose-

on level with themselves? Are
the Engineers and conductors on the
railroads on a level with the track
men? The former receives 81 a
day and upward; the latter $3.50
and upward. Are the school teach
ers and letter carriers on a dead level
with laundry workers. or even with
themselves? Everyone knows that
there is no great body of working
men that are on a dead level under
present conditions. How would it
be under Socialism?
1t is now generally conceded that
Socialism will reward every one on
the dead level plan, that. is, everyone
will receive the same reward for his
days labor; the engineer will not
have any higher income than the
brakeman, and both will receive the
same as the truckman, and these in
turn will receive the same as the
great doctors during at least one
generation of Socialism, but after
that the M. DIS would be on dead
level. ford doctors and everyone else
would degenerate to the level of the
lowest and most incompetent. It
is impossible for Socialists to explain
how wages or income is to be paid to
the workers under Socialism, except
upon basis of equal pay for all. and
If that doesn't mean dead level for
all, then what does it mean? 3''
According to the best Socialist
logic. even. the bosses under Social
ism are not to receive any higher
financial reward than the bossed, and
the only distinction that they would
have over the rest would be that they
were bosses. .'..
Isn't it beautiful! And how do
you think this would work out in
practice? Do you think that the
carpenter would be willing to re-
ceive the same reward as the dish
washer? Would the engineer be
content to work for the same income
that the brakeman and the trackman
does? 49,. a.
Would the brick-layer smile when
you tell him he is no more useful or
important than the ditch digger?
Wether you believe that those who
are receiving the lowest wages are
entitled to receive as high as anyone,
or not, is not the question. The
question is could you ever convince
the working class that the brick-lay-
er and the other high-wage laborers
ought to be on level with all other
labor? You might convert the hod
carrier to the ideal that he is fully
as good and entitled to have as high
pay as the brick-layer, but you could
never convince the same hod-carrier
that he ought to have no more than
farm laborers receive; nor could you
ever convince the brikylayer that he
ought to be placed on a level with
the hod-carried. If you think you
can go out and try the job on the
first brick mason you meet. You'll
get jar that will cause you to do a
bit of thinking for yourself. Bill
Haywood and E. V. Debs will tell
you that everyone who works ought
to have the same reward per day or
hours, but Debs receives twice as
much per day for speaking as Hay
wood; and Haywood receives whole
lot more than some of the lesser
lights in the I. w. W., and Social
list camps. Debs receives as mcuh
for one night as some of the other
Socialist leaders receive for a week.

DIR. Walter Johnson Aldrich has been
selected by the Progressive state com
mittee to be the party's candidate for
the governOrship, filing the place left
vacant by the refusal of A. -. Cooper
of BENIN gton to accept the nomination
of the state convention. DR.. Aldrich
is As years old, native of Lyman. n
H., and has been a practicing physician
in st. Johnsbury many years. While
preparing for his medical studies wears
ago he was local editor of the st. Johns
bury Caledonian. He is a man who
commands high respect in his home
community, from which he was elected
to the legislature as a Progressive two
years ago. Previous to that time he
had not oeen prominent in politics. 1t

Personal and Impersonal Sides of War
(Boston Record.)


'Undecisive is the daily report on
the great battle between the opposing
forces at the threshold of France. But
the battle, and the war, end for some,
every day. Those who fall; those
manned, to die soon; those diseased, to
waste away later - to these the de
cisive moments have come.

and they are brothers of the great hu-

against each other. One man has left
his farm and his mily-because he
was told to DO so. The man he would
stab or smash has perhaps left his
bench in the shop, or his place in the
store-because he was told to. Who

Swiss wit at the Kaiser,s Expense.

About a year ago when the kaiser
was in Switzerland a postcard was is
sued which purported to bear con-
yersation that had taken place between
his majesty and 4 Swiss soldier.
You can shoot very well,' said the
kaiser after seeing an exhibition. 'but
there are only 100000 of you. What
would You do if an army of 100000
Germans were to come against you?''

the Swiss, lit would be necessary for
each Swiss to shoot two shots instead

that this will result in the selling OF
outside securities, American among the
rest. Then, the business emergency
created by the war inspires a kind Of
panic to possess real money, and many
sacrifices in value Will be made to turn
securities into money. One result of the
restoration of credit and confidence

believed, to prevent foreign holders

Congress again is becoming FESTIVE
on account of lack of pressing bust
ness, and, perhaps, because of pressing
politics. Adjournment by Oct. Is now
seems possible. This would mean the
end of the session as soon as the Senate
completes the emergency revenue bill
which provides for government-own
ships. The President still favors the
ship bill, but he is assured by the lead,
ers of the House that the chances of
its passage through that body are poor.
He may, therefore, agree to let it go

More than three billion dollars
worth of American securities are held
in Europe. One of the uncertain fea-
lures of the present financial situation
is the extent of possible European
liquidation when the stock exchanges
reopen. While our gold holdings are
ample to meet home requirements and
to satisfy our maturing obligations to
foreign markets, they would cover no
more than half the American stocks

Sears was the founder of the Sears
