NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Editor Magnolia Gazette: For
fifty years the farmers and laborers
and producers of the United States
have been asking. clamoring for
and demanding legislation in their
interest, and almost every candi-
date that entered the field Of poll
tics pledged himself to champion
their cause and claims But under
such championship as has beer
given the producers have been rob-
bed, plundered and sold into abject
servitude to the money power
The Railroad Magnates. Bankers
and Manufacturers. as triple
alliance" sway the scepter of pow
er, whose high behest must be COM
piled with or a money panic will
be ordered and starvation is threat
ened The party in power is
charged with the financial stress
and are laid off for time and the
other party is harnessed up to re-
peat the same old gag. New
parties will not be tolerated be-
cause they are not in training
The two old parties, Democratic"
and Republican" have been in
power alternately for fifty years
and matters are constantly growing
worse. There are one hundred pau
pers now where there was one fifty
years ago. Tramps. hoboes and
convicts have increased 200 per cent
in fifty years. Government control
of private corporations has been
failure for fifty years, but the con-
troll of government by private cor
poratiuns has been model success.
Forbearance, on the part of the
producer, has ceased to be virtue
and a resolution either civil or
bloody is imminent, the sowing has
about ended and oh !! what shall the
1eaping be?
There are four fundamental
propositions, based on cardinal
principles of economic public SER
vice.
The first is popular and unstint-
ed education of all the people
This can be attained only by COM
pulsory measures. Pike county's
ureseLt trouble in enforcing her
reform and progressive movement
rs attributable to the want on the
part of some of her citizens
The second is unrestricted
suffrage 20 every honest loyal per-
son irrespective of sex. that has
attained the age Of twenty one
years. The disfranchisement Of
every person convicted of any
crime or misdemeanor. no matter
how great or how small for peri
cd ranging from two to ninety nine
wears. just in proportion to the
magnitude of the offense. That
will put the governing power in
the hands of the law abiding citi-
zens.
The third is just and equitable
distribution of the lands: just as
God intended that they should be
in the beginning, Every person to
have all the land that they can util-
ize and no moJe. The earth and
its waters. with their contents,
deposits and productions IN nature
are the gifts Of God to all mankind
and to aII'' they belong.
The fourth is the collective own
ership OF all public utilities. ] O.,
government ownership Of all the
natural resources Of the country
together with the constructive ma
chinery and devices necessary to
serve and supply all the people, in
discriminatory with the necessaries
of life at a price covering the cost
Of production and no more, thus
barring speculation.
