W. Beachem. Miss Lee further stat
ed that farmers In that vicinity had
cut every available acre for feed
There will be a shortage of feed for
livestock. Practically no oats or flax
has been harvested. Hundreds of
acres sown this spring has not even
produced hay. Farmers are herding
cattle on such fields. A shortage of
water is reported. The Muddy river
Is not flowing. Water Is available
only where Beaver have built dams.
Three wells on the farm of Edward
Lee have gone dry. Water for cattle
is being hauled a distance OF S mil
IS. Gardens and potato fields are
poor and we're further destroyed last
Thursday by a heavy frost. 1t Is
estimated that farmers have reduced
cattle herds one half.
In the Homestead vicinity yields
were from 2 to 10 bushels per acre
on the few fields that were cut. A
big portion OF cattle from that dist.
riot are being shipped.
Mrs. /. Brightsman submitting a re-
port from the Wanso and Sheep
Creek communities reports that what
~threshing there was has been conn
pleted. Small yields were received
ranging from 2 to 4 bushels, and
grading No. 2. Corn, cain and millet
crops are practically a complete
failure. Shortage OF water Is prov
ing to be an obstacle.
Wheat yields In the Redstone
country averaged from 2 to 10 BUSH
els, according to correspondent Miss
Maxean Owen. Most of the wheat,
as In other sections has been cut
for feed. Slough hay, which has been
available in that territory In former
years will not be cut. Corn in that
vicinity presents q good stand and
will make available considerable
livestocks feed. A water shortage is
also reported in the territory.

cooperation between farmers. lien
holders, railroad companies, ship

Sary.
Due To the lack Of cars on the 500
line the proposed shipment from Nc
Elroy on Thursday OF this week had
to be cancelled. This is regretted as
q scarcity ~ stock water makes 1t
difficult for farmers to keep their
stock much longer.

Fred Glaze of Antelope In a report
said that that territory this year sui
fered the most complete crop fall
ure since the settlement of the
country. A few farmers east Of
Antelope will get seed back. Mr..
Glaze said he believed this year
was worse than 1881 as the average
farmer harvested enough wheat to
insure seed and flour. GardenS and
potatoes are poor, even thistles that
made a good growth In 1881 did
not grow tall enough this year to b
cut with a mower while many
have been forced to dispose OF live
stock. those that remain face a hard
situation a the fields that have been
pastured. during the summer have
no growth worthy OF mention. The
Muddy river west OF town consists
of standing pools, and q big portion
OF the water Is not tit to be consum-
ed by livestock" continued Mr.
Glaze.
He further stated that he
had always believed In Sheridan
county. but a year like 1884 was =
complete knockout for people that
had already suffered nearly three
years OF successive failures" How
ever continued Mr.. Glaze, there Ii
no doubt in our minds, but that
Sheridan county will produce holm
teous crops again. and while, - In
other countries. some Of our people,
will leave and try their luck else
where. the majority will carry on
and see Sheridan county come back

THE PROLETARIAT-THE GRAVE
DIGGERS OF CAPITALISM

THE modern laborer. instead Of rising with
L the progress Of industry, sinks deeper and
deeper below the conditions Of existence Of his
own class. He becomes pauper and pauper-
ism develops more rapidly than population and
wealth. And here IL becomes evident, that the
bourgeoisie is unfit any longer to be the ruling
class in society, and to impose its conditions Of
existence upon society as an overriding Ian
1t is unfit to rule because 1t is incompetent to
assure an existence to its slave within his
slavery because it cannot help letting him sink
into such state, that it has to feed him,
instead of being fed by him. Society can no
longer live under this bourgeoisie In other
words, its existence is no longer compatible with
society.
The essential condition for the existence and
sway Of the bourgeois class, is the formation
Of capital; the condition for capital Is wage
labor. Wage-labor rests exclusively on compe-
ton between the laborers. The advance Of
industry, whose involuntary promoter is the
bourgeoisie, replaces the isolation Of the labor
erS, due to competition, by their revolutionary
combination, due to association. The develop
ment Of modern industry, therefore, cuts from
under its feet the very foundation on which the
bourgeoisie produces and appropriates products.
What the bourgeoisie therefore produces above
all are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the
victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable

Halls ANNIVERSARY

SAN FRANCISCO, Callf.-Extend-
ing its hand of greeting across the
breadth of the North American con-
tinent, from San Francisco to New
York, the western Worker, organ Of
the California district Of the Com
munist Party, sent the following
message to the Daily Worker on its
tenth anniversary:
Although we are more than 5000
miles from New York, and receive
the Daily four and five days later,
thousands Of workers throughout
California patiently await the delivery
of the paper, and devour every line
in it, making possible the co-ordina-
ton OF such a huge network Of or
CARNATIONS over such q wide area
as a united army against capitalist
exploitation. 1t is an indispensable
guide to our hundreds Of organiza-
ions and units.
The Tenth Anniversary Of the

Jrovement in It's contents, especially
he introduction of its many features
hat give it much broader appeal.

forward with our Western Worker
From semi-monthly two years ago,
our paper has advanced to a more
widely circulated six-page weekly.

for building a mass circulation for

most advanced eastern districts.

WHAT is THE SOVIET SYSTEM
OF ECONOMY?
WHAT Is the Soviet system of economy

IYHAT Is the Soviet system Of economy
w The Soviet system Of economy means that:
l. The power Of the capitalist class has been
overthrow and has been replaced by the power
OF the working class.
g The tools and means of production, the
land factories works etc, have been taken
away from the capitalists and handed over to
the working class and to the peasantry.
3. The development of production Is subor-
dinated, not to the principle of competition and
safeguarding Of capitalist profit, but to the
principle Of planned guidance and systematic
improvement of the material and cultural level
of the toilers.
4. The distribution Of the national income
takes place, not in the interests Of enriching
the exploiting classes and their numerous para
site hangers-on, but in the interests Of system
atically raising the material position OF the
workers and peasants, and extending Socialist
production in town and country
s. The systematic improvement Of the ma
terial position of the toilers and the ceaseless
growth Of their requirements purchasing
power, being a constantly growing source OF
the extension OF production, guarantees the
working class against crises of over production,
against the growth Of unemployment, etc
g. The working class IS the master Of the
country, working not for the capitalists, but
for its own class

From this it is clear that the
whole perspective and the nature Of
the Music Party is one of struggle
against Communism. In this Music
is true to all his past history and
tradition Of the CPL.A. The CPJA.
was formed in 1928, just for this very
reason. It was organized by Music
with the support of the Thomases,
Oneals, Maurers and some "techno-
Gratis" and different groups of lib
erals to fight the Trade Union Unity
League which at that time began
the organization of the independent
class trade unions. But Music had
little luck with his C.PLA. Just after
he had pledged his future on the
growing strength of capitalism, cap
italism suffered the greatest shock
The C.P.L-A. had committed itself
for the B & o speed-up plan, made
open war against Communism, wor-
shipped at the shrine of the great
engineer Herbert Hoover.
With regard to the A. F. OF L. bu-
reaucrats, Music, tho feigning opposi-
ton to some of the racketeering ten
denotes of the A. F. of L., assured
Matthew Vol that he was no less
opposed to collaboration with Com
munists than was Vol himself. But
the future Of the CPIA. did not
turn out to be a very bright one.
Music looked around in different di-
rections and at every turn lost fol-
lowers. BY 1881 Music, under the in
fluence of the renegades Bert Miller
and Ludwig Lore, announced the
need for new political party. This
cost him the withdrawal from the
CP.L-A. Of tbs Thomases. Oneals

Mr.. A. ]. Music and his associates
In the Conference for Progressive
Labor Action" have announced a
change in their firm name.
Hereafter they prefer to be known
by the more impressive American
Workers Party"
Why the new name?
The promoters Of the new firm will,
Of course-like all high class" bust
ness houses-tell us that the new firm
is an expansion of the old, made
necessary by the increased demand
for their merchandise; and that it
will give better quality service at less
cost. But only the uninitiated will
be taken in by this. The truth Of
the matter is that Music & Co., like
many other high class firms have
had to change their name In order
to conceal their bankruptcy.
There Is, however, still another
side to this question, which throws
some light on to the grand rush to
announce the new firm name in the
dead Of the night. 1t was due, not
alone to the realization Of bank
ruptcy, but to a desire to be on the
ground floor IN case there is some
good business to be had from sources
that Music e. Co. have reason to be-
leve will be favorably disposed to
thenl-that is, in the event that thru
their new firm name they can be-
guile others into their fold. So, like
the good old gold proSpectors of the
days gone by, Music thought it best
to stake his claim as quickly as DOS
sible on what may turn out to be q

that why your Department OF Justice

Why it Is still investigating its

my duty to use whatever means may
be necessary to supplement state,

relief of suffering caused by unem-

feed anybody, Mr.. President. What
do you say about the Workers I'm
employment and Social Insurance Bill
Of the Communist Party2 Immediate
federal unemployment insurance by
Act of Congress for all those now
unemployed through no fault of their
own. A system of federal unemploy-
nlent insurance which would permit
no discrimination between white and
black, young and old-such system
to be administered by the workers.
Unemployment insurance Of the full
average wages of the industry or
territory but not less than $40 week
for adult workers, SO for each de-
pendent, for the entire period of their
unemployment.
And, speaking OF ornaments, the
government and the employers, ac-
cording to the provisions of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill, can pay this insurance from
funds now set aside for war prepa-
rations and by taxation upon incomes
of over 5000 year. Social insur-
ance would be paid to workers to the
amount of not less than $40 weekly
for adult workers, So for each de-
pendent to compensate for loss Of
wages through sickness, accident, old
age, maternity, etc.
Nothing Of this sort has even been
proposed, Mr.. President, and yet YOU
speak of "the ruthless exploitation of
all labor" having been consumed in
the fire" that it itself "kindled."
That, Mr. President, is what we
call the bunk.
