Answers to Questions Of Lesson Five.
!. The mutual recognition of the
right of private property, whether
such contract be part of developed
legal system or not, is a necessary
precondition to the exchange of com
modities, and is the reflex of the real
economic relations between the propri-
etors. AZ
2. A commodity has no use-value
to its owner, except its capacity of
being exchangeable for other COM
modities, otherwise he would not
bring ii to the market.
3. When the various owners Of
commodities bring them to market,
they are faced with the problem of
bringing them into relation with one
another as values. which requires a
common denomination; this is found
in some particular commodity, the
bodily form Of which becomes the

sal equivalent when all other COM
modities represent their values in Il;

The Next Step in Party Reorganization

We say, mol Why? When we attach
to a group OF two comrades working
in a factory, a third comrade not en-
ployed there, we do so only to help
these two comrades win over the
other proletarians who are not yet
party members. It Is obvious, there
iore, that the practice Of attaching
comrades not employed in the shop
where the nucleus is organized holds
good only for those instances where
we have sufficient prospects for organ
izing active, at least fair-sized shop
nuclei-hold good only for places
where many workers are employed.
Comrades should be attached 70
help organize shop nucleus in in
stances where there are only two
members employed in the same place,
only where there are many workers
employed there, only where there are
prospects Of organizing shop nucleus
in this place, only where the attach
ment Of such a third comrade viii
facilitate the organization Of a nucleus
in which three or more of the mem
bers will be those employed in the
factory.
8. Organizing sub-seetIons.
It Is advisable to sub-divide various
sections of the reorganized city into
sub-sections. In making these sub
divisions the following principles
should guide US:
AZ The location OF suitable meeting
places to be used by the shop and
street nuclei in the area constituting
the subsection must be considered. II
must be remembered that, almost
without exception, shop nuclei cannot
meet in their places Of employment.
cannot transact their party business
in their factories. 1t is very advisable
to find meeting places for shop nuclei
and street nuclei other than the homes
Of party comrades. The meeting places
should become the centers of general
party life. In view OF the fact that
the subsection is really a means for
carrying on more effectively party
activities, the availability of suitable
meeting places should be taken into
consideration when subsection divi-
sions are set up.
b. The problem Of congregating
national groups: We should by all
means avoid organizing sub-sections
which Will consist of party members,
either all of one nationality or even
overwhelmingly OF one nationality.
We should strive, in making our sub
section divisions. to have comrades
of as many nationalities as possible
work together thru the shop and
street nuclei under the leadership Of
their most experienced members par
ticularly those Of whom can speak
English.
| O. The size: No sub-sections should
contain more than 70 members. If
sub-sections grow too large in mem
bership they become ineffective. In
those cases where subsections grow
much beyond this number in size, they
should be further sub-divided.
The problems of the organization Of
workers clubs and party fractions
will be dealt with in the next ar
| ticles.

grow from zone hoSS" hotel to its
present proportions, and has predicted
as spectacular a growth for the fu-
ture. She visited at the home of Mrs.
&c. A. Valentine during the last part
of Der stay. Canyonites hope she will
alfays consider this her home, and
not stay away too long nor wander so
far away that she can't get hack to
see us often.
Bill Archer returned Sunday from a
ten day visit to his father in Albu-
querque.
Mr. Coombs, the old prospector,
who was thought convalescing, grew
worse last week and on Friday was

the care he will receive there.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Tracy on Monday

This association must soon go on
record on this important question.
Some weeks ago our valuable and
efficient secretary, Colonel Enbach,
rendered his resignation. All of our
members are deeply concerned in this
matter as the work done by him dur
ing the last two years has been of in
estimable value to the industry. He
has the best wishes of all of US for
success and advancement. At the
same time we are hoping that it can
be arranged so that Colonel Embach

Contrast this with Studebaker, where the entire
car is designed and built unit-and engineered
complete. This construction means (1) longer life

from repair expense-(4) greater resale value
With the advent of this one profit-one-overhead
plan of motor manufacture, it is folly today to
buy a car by the same comparisons you used
yesterday. Today you must measure all cars with
this 'one-profit" Studebaker.

A serious accident occurred near
the Canyon last week. Wes Case on
Tuesday started for Tuba City with
friends from Los Angeles. Getting
caught in one of our torrential rains
they lost their way and were forced to
camp out and get along the best way
they could, one night being spent on
the Colorado river bridge. They fin
4 ally reached home on Friday after
many weary hours on the desert. The
accident? Oh yes, Wes lost his heart
and thought Miss Billy Hays, young
attractive Los Angeles girl was the
finder; she hasn't been in any hurry to
return same and Wes seems content
to leave it where it is. This may not
seem such a calamity to the interested
parties but what about the dashed

much that the maximum rate should
be not to exceed $500. We would re-
member that we are working not
merely for this years reduction but
for the years to come.
1t is strange that in all the freight
rate cases, the trouble lies more with
the Interstate Commerce commission
than with the railroads.
The Land Question
"fhe next great question to come
before the livestock industry for final
disposal is that of the public domain.
It is not too early to consider this
question and to begin to formulate our
policy. The department of the inter-
ior will at the next congress, present
a bill embodying its desires. The bill
as now drafted and as it is printed in
the reports of the senate committee
on public lands, is vicious, dangerous,
and confiscatory to the stockmen.

Perhaps in the near future some

the past this question must not go by

with the forest lands, and in the light
of experience, this matter of the pub
lie domain must and can be started

dustry to do it.

"The conference held here in May
should be mentioned. The attendance
was gratifying. Preliminary to the
general meeting, the chief forester of

made thorough investigation, so far
as was possible in the time given, of
all range and trail conditions in the
forest. Opportunity was given, and
committees appointed to accompany
and confer with Colonel Greeley and
our thanks are due to our members
who served in this capacity and per-
formed a valuable service to this as
sociation. The bulletin sent out by
the secretary fully states our applec-

the matter and it is not necessary for
me to enlarge further, as it will be
considered tomorrow. 1t will be suf
ficient to state at this time, that great
results were achieved, a better under
standing both of the forests officials
and of the pesmittees was obtained,
grazing and trail movements are on
the road to settlement, and better
still, methods win be provided SO that
in future, a great deal of friction and
difficulty will be eliminated, contro
versies will be settled in a happier
way, and cooperation and harmony
will light our footsteps to brighter
day.
Incorporation
"At the last general meeting the
officers of this association were di-
rected to incorporate the same. This
has been done and no doubt it will
facilitate our work in every way.
There are many things we can now do
that we could not before without con-
siderable trouble. The Bylaws will
be brought before the members to-
morrow for approval.
Taxation
"This is always of direct interest.
For many years we We're of the opin-
ion that as an industry we were over
taxed. Your officers were working
toward the end that more equitable
valuations be given US. As you know,
last year after great deal of work
the valuation on sheep was reduced
about 10 per cent This year after a
meeting with the state tax commits
sion, and submitting our reasons, our
was reduced another 10 per |
cent. You will be pleased with this |
