g. 1t must deal with the big indus
tries. shall fight for
a. public ownership of the railroads,
so we may have transportation
at cost;
b. public ownership Of the food in
dustry, SO we may have food at
cost;
@ public ownership of machine
factories, so we may have our
farm implements at cost;
d. public ownership of telegraph,
telephone and wireless, so we
may have communication at cost
A. The next congress must deal
with employment. l shall fight for
az legislation that provides a job
for every worker at union wages
and union hours and union work
ing conditions;
b. legislation that will take labor
disputes out OF the hands OF par
tisan Injunction judges, giving
the workers the full rights to
strike to secure their reasonable
rights.
5. The next congress must deal
with the situation of the farmers. ]
shall fight for
al five year moratorium for all
farmers in debt, exempting them
for that period from paying
taxes, interest or capital;
b. guarantee Of an annual income
to all working farmers equal to
the amount found by the govern
ment commission necessary for
family to live on in reasonable
comfort, this being about $4,000
per year;
@ abolition of the unnecessary mid
dlemen so the farmer can sell to
the city workers direct, getting
reasonable prices for his product
and at the same time reduce the
cost to the consumer.
g. The next congress must deaI
with the returned soldiers. The boys
were called upon to serve the masters
in war. They did what they thot tc
be their duty. They offered their al
and suffered the tortures OF the
damned in the trenches Of Europe
They must be given an equivalent
to what the men who stayed at home
got in the factories. This should be
taken out of the profits made by the
profiteers who have robbed both the
boys and the country.
T. The next congress must dea
with taxation. In the last analysis all
taxes must come out OF the toll of the
masses. AS S8 per cent of all taxes
are spent on past, present and future
wars, l would work for an interna
tional conference for complete dis
armament by all nations, thus reliev
ing the people of this CHASTITY burden
upon their lives.
Good Men" No Cure.
The above is not proposed as a rem
edy for all our national ills. The ills
Of the present system of society can
not be remedied as such. The work
ers and farmers have for a long time
believed in the possibility Of doctorine
the ills felt by them. Time after time
they have elected good men" in the
government. The recent scandals
Teopot Dome, Veteran Bureau, etc.
shows the results of this policy. The
corruptive situation is not the result
of few bad men," They only repre-
sent their class, the capitalist class
The workers and farmers reap cor
ruptness, injunctions against La
Dor, armed force by the master class
against strikers, the open shop move
ment to destroy the unions. The work
ers and farmers are oppressed in
many ways. Your own life story is an
example.
The Communists have told these
facts time after time They have ex
posed the whole ruling class. The
Daughertys and Burns were after the
Communists, because they exposed
this. The press was against the Com.
munists, because the press is the
mouthpiece Of the system. Every
worker and farmer who has followed
the recent developments now in the
capital, knows that the Communists
were right. The investigation in the
senate proves it. And the Commu.
nists are again right when they claim,
that only thru the workers and farm.
ers' government, the workers and
farmers are able to make life such
that it is fit to live. Only thru the
complete abolition OF the capitalist
system can all the ills Of the present
day be cured.
When you vote for me, you register
your vote against the present oppres'
sion Of the master class, and for your
own rule.
