TO ABOLISH JUDICIAL
MURDER IN CALIFORNIA
Socialists and Reformers to Bring
Anti-Capital Punishment Bill
Before Legislature

While the effort to abolish whole
sale murder (war) will be futile so
long as the capitalist system exists.
the crusade of certain advanced
groups against retail murder Capital
punishment) has met with success in
many states, both in the Americas and
in Europe.
As the gallows and the electric chair
are reserved solely for working class
offenders. and are merely survivals,
juridically considered, from an age
that placed ALL responsibility for
crime on the individual, as "a free
moral agent" it is not surprising that
all forward looking elements in pres
ent day society should unite with the
Socialists in working for the abolition
of judicial murder in all forms.
But, strange to say. many Socialists,
some of whom are well grounded in
MARKHAM economies, the principle of
the class struggle. etc, still adhere to
the exploded theory that the death
penalty is necessary as safeguard
against potential murderers.
DEBATE ON DEATH PENALTY
Two weeks ago, there was an in
teresting debate held at our head
quarters on capital punishment. under
auspices of the Young Peoples league,
as part of their educational program.
The vote on winners was given to the
team indicating the death penalty.
They said it was given on the merits
of the team as debaters, not because
the judges favored capital punish
ment. Subsequent open discussion re-
vealed the fact that, as stated above,
some well informed Socialists were
lined up with the forces of reaction
in support of this form of terroriza-
ton and vindictiveness, both of which
rests. in the last analysis, on the
stupid theological dogma of free WILL"
the most cruel doctrine ever ex-
Surely there is need for whole
lot of education, even among avowed
Socialists, along those lines. We shall
not progress very far toward moral
and intellectual freedom whilst the
dogma of free moral agency poisons
the minds of men, and stupid vindic-
tiveness is permitted to masquerade
under the guise of social protection"
A MUcH-DIscUssED QUESTION
In response to letters of inquiry
from many states, asking for data
with which to fight the death penalty
in legislatures, we shall deal in our
next issue at considerable length on
this question, and we earnestly re-
quest that each reader of The Wash
ington Socialist send one or more
copies of this special edition to rela-
tives and friends living in states
where the gallows or the electric
chair still claim many victims of CAPT
talist misrule. We ask, especially,
that as many copies as possible be
sent into California, as the question
comes up for debate in the legisla-
ture there at an early date, some time
next month.
That authoritative data on the sub
.iect is much desired is attested by the
specimen letters printed below. 1t is,
of course, impossible for us to answer
all the letters of inquiry received, so
we shall answer through the paper
next week, as fully as our limited
space will permit

Everyone may be worker of the
better class" under Socialism.
Only the lazy man who would try
to live on the labor of women and
children, like many of the better
class" do under capitalism, would be
looked down upon. In that good day
"the best society" will be composed
of the most useful and high-minded
members of the social group.

SEVERAL OTHER RIFFS

No, brother, there are several other
riffs in the lutte.
First of all, II 1t were not for the
large export trade (about $2,000,000,-
600 annually the thirty-four billion
dollars spent in domestic trade would
have to give way to hundred and
thirty-four- billion-dollar civil war--or
else peaceful adoption OF the Social
list regime. And the two billion dol
lars of exports can be continued (and
they must be constantly increased to
avert civil war or Socialism, only on
condition that about an equal amount
OF goods are purchased by patriotic"
Americans which are not "made In
America"
II "the matter OF tariff" were so
adjusted as to exclude any large por-
ton of the annual imports OF about
two billion dollars worth of merchan-
disc, the diminution would be imme-
diately offset by an equal reduction
In our exports; which would leave

CAUSE OF THE RIFFS

In previous issue Of this very in
structive journal, we called attention
to the fact that whereas the annual
average value of manufactured pro-
duct per patriot in this land of the
unfree, and home Of the f. H. Marks,
is 1924, the average wage of these
efficients is~$51S. In other words,
while the total value of the worked
workers product in 1909 was $20,672,-
052,000, if sold at cost at the factory
gate, the total wages paid was but
$3,427, O3S,0OO; which leaves the neat
little product of $17,245, 014,O0 worth
of values which these doci1e patriots
put on the market and can't buy. The
hands in other industries and in
! agriculture showed about the same
efficiency" SO that the total wealth
production in this country yearly
stands at about $3S,000,000, 900 and
the total wages paid less than $S,O00,-
100000 This leaves about $30,000,-
100000 of wealth to be used, sold, or
stored up, in some way, by those who
didn't produce it, All other capitalist
nations are enjoying the same kind of
patriotic prosperity.
SO the made in America" move
ment, if it succeeds, will succeed only
in throwing more millions of men,
women and children out of work; so
they would not have the coins to buy
goods made in America or any
where else. In fact, this is partly
what "ails" us right now.
AS there is no rational answer to
society's problems under the modern
system of production of wealth by the
many for the exclusive enrichment
OF the few, the imbeciles on both
sides of the ledger get out into the
trenches and shoot each others fool
heads off as the only solution pos
sible to a bunch of rummies who
would. either desire or tolerate the
continuance of wage-slavery and pro-
ductlon for private graft for the few
and hard labor, poverty and war for
the many

Belted coats will also be worn to
