PRICES RISE FASTER
THAN WAGES INCREASE

Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale uni
versity, has compiled interesting sta
tistics which show that wages, since
1896, have maintained almost an even
ratio of increase and decrease with
prices of necessities. Now, however,
the increase of prices is accompanied
by decrease in the average of wages.
This is particularly interesting to the
political economist, because it upsets
a theory that has long been exploited
by him. Conspiracy, however, which
is the basis of modern business, is
likely to set all respectable conserva-
tive opinions to spinning like tops.

Socialists Urge
Measure Helping
Oregon Jobless
LAW ALSO PROVIDES THAT
STATE MAY UNDERTAKE ANY
SORT OF DusTRY--WouLD
TAX ESTATES OF DECEASED.

The Socialist party of Oregon is try
ing to initiate n referendum on the
establishment of a department of pub
lie works which will enable that state
to undertake any sort of industry. The
law as proposed reads as follows:
THE constitution of the state Of
Oregon shall be, and hereby Is
amended by the addition of the fol
lowing article to said constitution, and
1t shall be designated in the constitu
ton as Article XIX.
Section /. There is hereby Great
ed and established a department OF
industry and public works, which
shall be under the supervision and
control of the state labor commits
sioner. Such department shall estab
lish industries, systems of transporta
ton, distributing stations, and public
works for the employment of the un
employed citizens in the state of Ore
gon and for the distribution and sale
of their products.
Sec. 2. Funds for the operation
and development of this department
shall be derived from a tax upon the
estates of deceased persons appraised
at $4,000 or more, in value, and from
appropriations that may be made for
such purpose.
said tax on estates of deceased
persons shall not be less than 10 per
cent and may be graduated above that
percentage by law. Such tax shall be
paid and collected in the manner now
provided for the payment and collec-
ton of the inheritance tax in Chapter
", of Title XVI, of Lords Oregon
laws.
"All income from the operating of
industries under this department shall
be used in further development of the
department.
Sec. 8. All funds collected and
appropriated for this department shall
Immediately, upon collection, be avail
able for use by the department. All
expenditures of these funds by the
labor commissioner shall be subject to
the approval of the Oregon state
board of control.
"Sec. 4. All provisions of the state
constitution and laws of Oregon in
conflict herewith are abrogated and
repealed in so far as they conflict with
this article. This article is in all
respects self-executing."

fish industrial democracy inevitably
takes the form of a political class
struggle between the exploiting class
(the capitalist class and the exploited
class, the working class), the capital
list to hold, the working class to take.
ON THE GROUND OF THE CLASS
STRUGGLE WE ARE INVINCIBLE;
IF WE LEAVE 1T WE ARE LOST,
BECAUSE WE ARE NO LONGER
SOCIALISTS. The strength and the
power of Socialism rests in the fact
that we are leading a class struggle;
that the laboring class is exploited
and oppressed by the capitalist class,
and that within capitalist society eff
fectual reforms, which will put an
end to class government and class ex.
ploitation, are impossible. - Lieb.

THE CLASS STRUGGLE

This is a struggle between two
classes in modern society. On one
hand the capitalist class and on the
other the working class The former
to retain the wage system and pre-
vent any change in the economic struc-
ture of society; the latter to destroy
the wage system by abolishing capital.
Between the two warning classes
in modern society stands the state,
(the army, navy and the judiciary.)
AS long as the capitalistic class re-
talns full possession of the state, the
power of coercion, they are able to
use it as a weapon to defeat every at
tempt to alter the economic structure
of society. Hence, every attempt to
destroy economic privilege and estab-

The 100000 of American farmers

THE NECESSITY OF CHANGE

Civilization must of necessity de-
velop into some other form of soci-
ETY., the tendencies of which we can
see, but not the details; and it is now
becoming clear that this new state of
society can only be reached through
the great economic, moral and politi-
cal change which we call Socialism;
and the essential foundation of this
is the raising of the working classes
to point that gives them a control
over their own labor and it's product"

WHAT is SOCIALISM?

Socialism is a conscious endeavor
to substitute organized cooperation
for existence in place of the present
anarchical competition for existence.
1t is an attempt to lay the foundation
of real science of sociology, which
shall enable mankind, by thoroughly
understanding their past and present
to comprehend, and thus, within
limits, to control the movement and
development of their own society in
the near future.-H. NJ Hyndman.

Foreign Exploiters
of Labor Would
Intervene in Mexico
BY United News Writers.

VERA CRUZ, July 12.-The organ
ization of unions among the working
people of Mexico and the encourage,
ment and recognition of that move
ment by the Constitutionalist govern,
ment is one of the most frequent
causes of complaint against that gov.
eminent by foreign exploiters of la
Dor in this country. A couple of such
employers were discussing the situa.
ton just after the recent peaceful and
successful strike of union laborers at
Orizaba and Rio Blanco and one of
them remarked
When Diaz was president we were
able to to get all the labor we wanted
good, docile, Industrious men-at rs
cents a day ca IL cents gold. But
now these damned drunken -
(you would not print the epithet even
if l gave it in fulD have organized
unions and they make use pay them
81 day." cat present exchange
rates equal to about So cents gold, but
of greater purchasing power in pro-
portion.)
Both men agreed that such state
of affairs was nothing short of dam
nable, and that any government that
would tolerate it ought to be wiped
off the face of the earth. Social
istic" and "Anarchistic" were the
most printable terms that were ap-
piled to any government that would
permit the long down-trodden masses
to organize and demand better pay for
their labor, and a profound wish was
expressed that there might be re-
turn to the old conditions of rs cents
a day and to hell with the laborer!
He would not know what to do with
better wages than that, anyhow. and
had no right to expect it. Nothing
short of Intervention can, in the opin-
ion of such exploiters, suffice to Sc
cure the rights" of employers in
Mexico
When an ardent interventionist is
scratched, you will be pretty sure to
find an employer and union hater
In the meantime the working people
continue to secure better pay, shorter
hours and improved conditions. One
of the latest movements was a public
parade of several thousands in one
of the largest manufacturing cities in
order to protest against the exorbitant
prices charged by merchants usually
foreigners) for the necessaries of life.
Instead of dispensing this parade with
rifles in the good old manner so dear
to the hearts of the union haters and
low wage advocates, the government
interviewed, made inquiry as to the
situation and then adopted scale
of prices for foods which while giving
the dealers a living profit also en-
abled the consumers to obtain sup
plies at moderate cost.
