Socialists In California
Assembly For Progress

measures is work for the unemployed
To this end they introduced bill for
the free State Employment Bureau
which bill, introduced by Mr.. Speng.
Ter, came in advance of the admins
tration measure along. similar line 5,
The latter bill, they claim, will only
find jobs which are not already filed
and that may not be many.
Because the question is acute, be
cause many citizens are suffering
men living in the open, camping in
the cold and damp of California nights
with little food and no shelter-it is
urgent that society acts promptly
There is so much suffering that is not
SO easy to see. : Women dependent on
the jobless men are living in wretched
ness, accepting charity, or in despera
ton turning out as Migrants. Then
there are the crowded habitations oil
the very poor where cleanliness is i'm
possible-places that may easily be
come breeding place of disease Foa
these reasons relief must be prompt
So Mr. Downing introduced an emer
gency bill calling for a liberal appro-
priation to proceed with state work
on lands, highways. or whatever il
might be found practical to give work
to the jobless.
AS a permanent measure along this
line Mr.. Downing also introduced re-
solution for an amendment to the
State to go into all kinds of industrial
work. This work would be revenue
bearing and would greatly add to the
wealth of the State.
Other bills introduced by them look
ed to- a wider democracy. Their work
might be summer us as follows:
l. Measure for the unemployment:
'(a) State free employment bureau;
(b) EMERGENCY act calling for imme-
date relief; (cl Permanent help
through publicly owned industries !;
I'D Other measures, as the abolish
ing of the contract system in public
work and doing public work at dull
seasons.
2. Justice for the working people
through restrictions of the courts:
(a) Shorten the terms of judges; (b)
Election of Federal Judges by direct
vote; icy Take from the courts the
power to declare laws duly passed un-
constitutional.
8. Extension of political democracy
through (a) protection of vote on
moving from place to place; (b) Les
sen the cost of naturalization; (c)
improvements of the jury system.
4. Industrial democracy through
(a) Steps toward national ownership
of railroads; Oh Steps toward nation

entering industrial work; Cd Inves-
tigating the electrical power Of the
State with view of State ownership;

The Socialist is not an anarchist; they
are opposed in theory and practice.
The Socialist does not propose to de-
stroy the family, abolish religion or
divide ua property nor does he seek
bloodshed. in single phrase, Social
ism means public ownership of the
means of production and working
class control of the government,
chance to work for all who will, and
to all workers the full value of their
product The typical Socialist is
rather quiet and thoughtful working
man serene in time of trouble and
self-contained in the day of victory.
He realizes that the world will move
on very well after he is dead, but re-
members that while he lives it is his
business to help the world move. He
considers himself an ally of eternal
laws of nature and is proud to do
lis part in the great cause.

am not worrying the working
class is being exploited out of its. auto
mobiles and such.
am deeply concerned because the
working class is being exploited out OF
its leisure. out of its physical, mental.
moral and spiritual health, out of ils
opportunity to be self-respecting anu
noble ana generous and worthy to be.
Socialism will produce all the things
that people need. It will give all the
people an. easy opportunity to get al
those material things which form the
condition precedent to the higher
things. But it will also. produce an
environment that will discourage envy
and the puerile desire to, Guido one
another in show and display. Per-
sons who show off their possessions
will provoke smiles such as those now
provoked by children who talk big.
Such persons will be looked upon as
mentally undeveloped.
L Capitalism has made US an aggre-
cation of nervous wrecks. If we cant
be in the. swim. we groan inWardly
and outwardly, and bewail the imagin-
airy fact that we are wasting our lives.
OF spirit of socialism, whisper to
this nervously wrecked people that it
is just when they are decidedly in the
swim that they are wasting their
livesll
When capitalism is abolished and

lapse like a gaudy toy ballon when

Favorable news from outside

from local packers. were factors in
aiding sellers to hold the advance

HOLDS SURVEY is VALID
COURT ENJOINS INDEPENDENCE
FROM CHANGE IN SURVEY.
Property Owners Sustained in Con.
tention That Long Acceptance of
Conditions Works as Bar.

Circuit Judge Belt on Friday last
estopped the city of Independence
from changing contested street lines
in accordance with survey made by
County Surveyor Garfield, which
would force adjoining property own
els to move back several feet from
the present lines. The court held that
the city's long acceptance of the lines
has enjoined it from making the
change. The action was taken on a
suit for injunction by j. Hart of
Independence against the city.
The contested street was formerly
a county road leading from the
bridge at Independence, through
North Independence and joining with
the Salem road. The proposed change
in the lines was bitterly threshed out
in the council before the case was
taken to the courts. Evidence was
brought out at the trial that the
street had been established for many
years, that the lines had been accept
ed and that property owners had
built fences and buildings on THE
basis of the present lines. The case
lasted two days, and many witnesses
we're called. Judge Belt inspected the
street before he decided the case.
Several Independence councilmen
have declared that the case will be
aiken on appeal to the Supreme court.
