sor soeiety SOD, to tell us, that
tire had to fall over
whether there was a revolution
or not.
Crash Inevitable

there was no revolution in the
popular sense in Germany or
Austria that the common peo-
pie there were willing to leave
all the rent charges and the pa
per claims to income from the in
dustry Of the nation just as the
capitalists had arranged them.
The people would not get enough
Of the product Of the industry
to live on. Half starved or Who'll
ly starvediand poorly housed
they could not produce the goods
for the world to buy. The big
capitalists house of cards would,
therefore, have had to fall just
the same.
Bankruptcy means that the
bankrupt can not make good on
his promise to pay. He can not
make good because he simply
hasn't got the means to do so if
he is he is an honest bankrupt.
The only way out is liquidation,
the writing down Of his promises
to pay to a point where they can
be paid. The bankrupt nation
must push aside it's too heavy
capitalist claims to the product
of it's industry, and start over
again to bring it's workers and
it's natural resources together
in such a way that it's people can
be fed.
Not Produced By Radicals
The common people and their
radical leaders did not produce
this national bankruptcy. They
have taken over the results that
the gambling, grating capital
lists had produced. Their part
in the situation is limited to
to methods of reconstructing the
bankrupt. The most radical OF
them insist on sweeping the for
mer methods of production and
distribution aside for one which
they thing will give the workers
/ full control of their means OF
livelihood and the full product
| of their toll.
We may not agree with the ex.
treme theories of reconstruction
which many of these radical
leaders propose, but we can not
hold them responsible for pro.
ducing the need for fundamen.
tai reconstruction. If those who
previously had control had not
taken so much of the product OF
the national industry for inter:
ests and dividends that the peo'
pie did not get enough to eat
these radicals could have had ne
influence and would have nothing
to say now about reconstruction

SIVEs SPLIT BETWEEN
TWO PARTIES.

MCaUOO mas resigned MS place
in the cabinet because he wants
to start at once his campaign for
the Democratic nomination for
the presidency in 1920, accord
ing to the opinions Of men who
are close to him.
He has resigned his place as
director general of, railroads,
according to reports, in order.
that he may, without embarrass-
ment to the president, declare
himself the champion of per-
manent government ownership
and operation of railways, cam
ais and steamship lines. This is
the estimate of his motive made
by these same men who have his
confidence.
Public ownership is to be the
big issue of the 1920 campaign,
as the politicians here see. the
situation, and while McAdoo has
never yet declared himself for
public ownership he has indicat-
ed that he was drifting in that
direction. He has told his friends
that he went into the railroad
administration with a mind open
as to issue Of ownership, and
that he has now made up his
mind. He is evidently going to
tell the country, after becomes
a private citizen, what his view
now is.
Only the other day, when an
nouncing his retirement on jan
uary l next, he said that the pro-
cess Of further organizing the
railroads as one nationwide
system would continue as long
as he remained. Although the
Association Of Owners of Rail

determined to continue the
scrallbling. I
Ready to Bag Progressives.
In other words, Mr.. McAdoo is
setting the stage for annexing
the progressive sentiment of the
nation iii 1920 to one Of the old
parties in which the special in
terests have a big voice. He will
make his peace quietly with the
conservatives, such as the south
ern Bourbons, and at the same
time will attempt to draw in the
progressives by a platform OF
radical promises.
The Republicans will try to do
the same thing with fag-waving
and pushing their progressives
forward to public view. Both
party machines are scheming to
keep the progressives from get
TING together without an entang-
ling alliance with the special IN
terests and from capturing one
Of the old parties or forming an
independent party. They well
know that the reactionaries can
not win at,the polls where a clear
issue is allowed between the peo-
pie and the special interests.

terestate railroads, telegraphs,
telephones and also national lines
of communication necessary to
complete postal and telegraphic
service to the e>citizens. The last
clause of his resolution is evil
IDENTIFY designed to save the faces
I Of the reactionary Democrats
since it permits them to deny
that their Democratic presiden-
tial candidate is pledged to any
definite public ownership at any
definite time or place.
The Republican Split.
Lewis has thrown down this
challenge in the senate because
the small group of progressive
Republicans holding the balance
of power in the senate is favor
able to public ownership, and
will never vote against an in
dorsement Of the principle. The
standpat Republicans, on the
other hand, will be forced to vote
against the resolution. That will
split the Republicans, upon one
issue at least. The Lewis reso-
luton gives McAdoo a fine op-
portunty to profit by their dis
putes. During the next two
years the Republican party is
ibound to remain sharply divided
between the friends and the en-
emies of public ownership, and
McAdoo may play the role this
time that the distinguished faith
er-in-law played from 1910 to
1912.
Whether either Democrats or
Republicans succeed in annex
ling the progressive and radical
vote in some diplomatic combina-
tion with special privilege de-
lpends chiefly on how wideawake
the voters to be annexed are. II
they and their leaders are again
captivated by the idea that re-
dictionaries and progressives
can unite and that such union
will produce laws that strike al
the root of special privilege, the
1920 election will be a repetition
|of those of The last 20 years. The

WILL YOU VOTE
 FOR VACCINATION

At the Oncoming election many peo-
 pie will be told that vaccination is 9
 most dangerous thing and that it should be relegated to the discard. If the people will look back to the days when smallpox ravaged communities, killing hundreds and thousands of peo- pie, and watch the scoreboard today they will realize but faintly the work of vaccination. Smallpox as a disease has almost been stamped out in this country, and in the old countries there are few deaths. We remember when smallpox ravaged New Mexico and southern Arizona, and today smallpox kills off many MeXicans below the bor- der, because these people do not be- lieve in vaccination. It has been found necessary to vaccinate every soldier before beginning his training, giving him immunity from smallpox, typhoid and diptheria, and as a result there has not been a case of these dis eases in the big army. Out of more than 31,OOO,OOO vaccinations only 40 cases of tetanus has been traceable to the virus. And it is is possible that tetanus may have come from some other source, as only one in million showed symptoms after inocculation.
 Vaccination is a necessity and Ari- zona people must preserve it by sta tutee.
