Y. P. S. L. NOTES
BY MILFORD DOUGHERTY


The Y. P. S. l.. of this city will
have its weekly business meeting Fri
day, March &C.
The Everett league must go ahead
and do bigger things than ever. Our
membership must be increased. Our
educational work must go on. Our
social affairs must be bigger and bet
ter, because leagues are starting I'D
in other towns and we must be the
banner league.
The Everett leagues study class
meets every Monday night, D. M, at
1917 California street. Last Monday
it studied value and price and the
class struggle.
Ellen Moore, Sophus Bonnivie and
MILFORD Dougherty were elected a
committee to select some subject on
which to debate with the Centralia
league, which has challenged the
league to a debate.
The league has lost an active mem
Der in Harry Tanner, who has been
compelled to go with his parents to
San Francisco. The Frisco league will
have quite an asset in Harry.
A mock trial will be held after the
business meeting of the league Fri
day evening. Bring your friends.
Everybody invited.

LOCAL REPUBLIC ADOPTS
RESOLUTIONS ON MONEY
QUESTION

We, the Socialists of the United
States and all other countries, are
agreed on certain points OF doctrine.
We believe in the social ownership
and democratic management of the
means of production and distribution;
we all favor the Inauguration of the
cooperative commonwealth in which
there shall be equal opportunity for
all and special privilege for none.
We realize that in order to obtain
this object, it is necessary that all of
those industries that must be operat-
ed collectively, now legally held by
corporations and individuals, should
become the property of the govern
ment
AS to the proper method of acquir-
ing possession, there seems to be a
wide difference of opinion, Some say
that competition will do the work,
purchase them, and still others claim
that confiscation is the only plan and
to let the government take them with
out remuneration of any kind, from
the parties now in possession and re-
store them to the whole people to
whom they should always have be-
longed.
We see in the Socialist press a great
deal about the different systems and
ideas; the capitalist system, the wage
system, and the profit system; but
we very seldom, if ever, see anything
about the monetary system which is
the mother of them all, the foundation
on which they will rest.
Let the Socialists when they once
gain control of the legislative branches
of the government, pass law to de-
monetize every dollar in existence and
substitute therefor a government is
sue of currency based on labor, to be
paid direct to the people for labor per-
formed; this would shift the standard
of value to where it naturally belong
ed. The price of any article on the
market would depend on the days,
hours, and minutes necessary to it's
production.
We believe that the proper solving
of the money proposition will make
possible the solution of every other
question that may come up for CON
sideration in the cooperative com
monwealth. We believe that this key
will unlock the door of opportunity
to every individual in the United
States and all other countries if uni
versally applied and that there is posi-
lively no other key that will fit the
lock-
Let us therefor kill the old money
goose that lays all the rotten eggs
that hatch out into the rotten system
that are a fostering sore on the body
polite and thus stop the breed at once
and forever

Republic, Wash, March -, 1915
We, the members of the Socialist
Local of Republic, Wash, being a unit
in the belief that the proper solution
of the money question is the one es-
sential point and that if this idea We're
once incorporated into the Socialist
platform both state and nation, would
cause a revolution in Socialist propa-
ganda work to the lasting benefit of
the Socialist cause
Therefor, we respectfully submit the
same for your consideration and hope
that it meets with your approval so
that by publication you may assist us
in teaching this propaganda.
Yours for the cooperative common
wealth and a commonsense Socialist

Editor The Washington Socialist.
Your books will disclose the fact
that one of the readers of your yalu-
able paper lives in South Dakota.
Every week it brings its quota Of
news and stimulating editorials to one
who has but recently embraced the
doctrines of Socialism, and it is to me
cheering message.
Primarily it appeals to me because
1t is a weekly paper advocating the
principles of a movement that en-
circles the globe. But it is more than
that to me; for until last fall lived
in the state of Washington, and so il
becomes a very personal message to
an old citizen of the great state OF
the Northwest. 1t appeals to me more
because I am attending school here
which, of course, teaches everything
but the fundamentals of Socialism.
SOME EXPERIENCES
My fellow students know little OF
what it means to be class-conscious
They cannot understand why dividing
up should appeal to any man. When
the error is Strengthened up, and the

lack of incentive"
When the lack of incentive" i:

day system, is to be a servant of CAPT

WHY THE HOME PAPER.

Have you ever asked yourself why
you take your home paper. or why it IS
necessary to have a home paper at all?
DO so. and you viii start a train Of
thoughts that will be Illuminating to
you. The big city daily comes to you
and give you the important news of
the outside warld, but YOU and the
home people are too small for a place
in it's columns About its only thought
of you is the money it gets from you.
II deals in world matters and is OF
value to you because through you OBJ
tain much OF your knowledge Of the
greater affairs OF life But il utterly
ignores you and yours Hence the local
paper and likewise your reason for
taking the local paper. You cannot
exist without a knowledge of the af-
fairs of your home community. You
must know Of the plans and Of the
work Of the local authorities, and you
must know of the doings OF the vari-
Gus churches. and the lodges of your
neighbors and OF the community in
general in which you live
You cannot obtain this knowledge
from the big city paper. but you can
and do find it in the columns Of the
home paper You buy tire big city
daily because you must know OF the
progress of the world, for your mind is
developing day by day and demands
this greater fund Of information. But
your mind Graves even a more init
mate knowledge OF affairs that are vi
tai to the interests OF YOU and yours.
and these things YOU find only in the
home paper To the great city daily
YOU are bur as a single pebble upon The
beach, a drifting sand of the desert.
But 70 the home paper YOU are one
of Us, an important factor in the com
munity. a force with which TO be reck-
oned. A disrupted and disinteerating
community means a shrinkage and loss
in property values and stagnant
,RHhiic MIND. Hence the home paper
has an ever watchful eye 10 the inter
'ests of the community end OF yourself
loP only in the preservation of the COM
munity and of yourself can the home
paper hope for a continued existance
Inc nome paper Is your TREND ana
YOU know IT,. And because you are
loyal TO your friends and to the com
munity, you believe in teh home paper
and its ceaseles work for home and the
home people
Your interests and those of the home
paper are Identical, and YOU need it
quite as much as it needs you. And
the man who recognizes the necess-
ity for a community OF interests be
comes a builder, and not a destroyer.
