ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST SOCIALISM
That Socialism WIN Do Away
With Private Property;

on the cor trary, Socialism will
make it easier to get private prop
erty. The workers have very little
private property More than q
per cent. OF the working people live
in rented houses. Their private po-
session are few and almost worth
sumed In cost of ltfing. leaving no
chance toaccumulate private prop
erty. The capitalists ultimately
get the wealth created by labor.
when the ownership OF the indus
tries on which profits are hIched
from labor passes to the people
then the useful workers will get,
not only what they now receive,
but also that part of their earnings
which go to the capitalists as
profit. twill then be possible fer
the working people to own their
own homes and such other prop
erty as ought to belong to individ-
uals.
That Socialism Is Opposed to the
Government.
Socialism is against the govern
ment only in so FAR as the govern
ment Is administered In the inter
est Of the acpttalist class and OPP
posed to the working class. The
functions Of government win be
the co-ordinatioR and administra-
ton Of the industries of the nation,
1t will also serve as a bureau OF
information and general clearing
house OF Industrial conservation
and administration. What is npE
devoted to battleshipS and 9rma-
ments will then be devoted to edu-
cation, science ana Improvement Of
industry.

Gag Rule Used Again

Every element of the Republica
parry stood solidly together against
the d-million-dollar tax
which President Wilson ordered on
the people to make up for the ex-
fravarance of his party in Congress.
orders from the White House were
TO rush the bill through the House

body OF Republicans. standing shoql-
der to shoulder. went down hghtn

Where Is that Economy?

Democratic platform pledges have
been ruthlessly disregarded by the
Wilson administration as everyone
knows in reference to simplicity
and economy as the record itself
shows, and the Democratic press and
stump speakers can not successfully
deny. the record.
Excluding the river and harbor
bills, the total federal appropria-
lions just made will be close to ST.
900, O00, 900, as compared with S1,-
O57, OOO, 200 In the year preceding,
and some 1888, 100000 in 1912 is
the assertion of a Republican United
States senator and the record shows
it. The reduction is not In the fed
eral disbursement; 1t is in the fed
eral revenue. The national income
has been falling of before the wa,
began. The new Democratic tariff,
professedly tariff for revenue only,
had failed TO justify the one constd-
Grafton urged for its existence.
Moreover, this present Underwood
bill has undermined American IN
dustry. demoralized the country
business, robbed and ruined manu-
facturers and merchants and driven
thousands of American wage earn
ers to idleness and want.
The Democratic tariff law has
been in operation since October 3,
1913. and from that date until July
81, 1914. the effect Of the law has
been to increase the imports of for
eign merchandise into the United
States by nearly $103, 100000 with
out any effect upon the cost OF liv-
ing, while the customs revenue has
steadily fallen of rs the result OF
reduced duties and an enlarged free
list. In fact. the duties collected
have shrunk in the ten months dur
ing which the law has been in force
and before the outbreak OF the Eu-
ropean war to 1929 900 900: as COM

ing Republican protective tar1n,

.. The Democrats have untaxed for
eieners- to tax our own citizens, and
the result is a national loss and a
national humiliation. This Is the
real reason why this revenue meas
Ilre is sprung upon the country. We
would have had the deficit even II

torial methods that human ingen-
ulty can devise will draw more rev
enue next year from the Income tax,
for the tax will be levied on incomes

sion in general business.
In all this dismal record of Demo
cratic failure history Is simply re-
ipeating itself. The Gorman-Wilson
law of 1s94-1s97. brought disaster
in the same way. Democratic con-
