Register compiaints before § he I pription be JMICK, Greatness of America Celebration of Labor Day a month ago brought ont some vital facts about this country that should inspire every citizen with patriotism, op- timism and confidence in our political institu- tions. Most of all should it engage the attention sof labor itself. It has shown that we lead the world in pro- @action because the average citizen works near- “ep three hundred-days in the year than in any other country in the world. The workers draw pay as in wages equal to more than one-half of the entire national income, "Yind more than sixty per cent of that goes to ‘those who get $2,000 a piece or less per annum. Think of this, ye growlers for the overthrow; 000,000 Americans haye $7,500,000,000 in the “savings hanks; they hold 72,000,000 insurance -policies of all k » for $55,000,000,000, About half our population, more than 11,000,000 famil- ies, own their own homes and 3,500,000 farmers own two -thirds of the land in use. . : Qur country has more spread-out ownership an any other. Railroads are owned by 2,000,000 persons; electric light business is owned’ by 1, 500,000; telephone and telegraph systems are owned by 500, Americans, hundreds of thous- dnds of these being wage workers. Stock ownership by employes in the company that employs them is an ordinary and expand: ving fact in every line of American business and political or municipal ownership is decreasing. fow can you beat it, Ma. al Theorist? Who Would Pay? It seems like whenever. anybody wants to put ‘Something over in politics today he tells the “farmer he needs a change. “ ‘Twenty years ago the supposedly popular me- thod to get votes was to “bust” a trust. Now that they have all the trusts “busted,” a lot of agi- tators would like to “bust” the farmer, providing they could do it before he found it out. The third party is making public ownership of railroads its bait to catch the farmer on the the- “dry that the farmer would thereby receive lower freight rates. The bulk of more than $300,000,000 anunualfy distributed by railroads in taxes goes -to states and counties. If the government owned “tthe railroads, they would pay no taxes any more than local postoffices do. ‘ To illustrate, this would mean a loss of 88, 76 in nue in Minnesot in Towa in Mon- Other sas; tana and #4, rth Dakota. states would be in proportion. “© Twenty-two months of government operation of wur railroads during wartime cost the tax Piyers a little less than $2,000,000,000 in addi- tion to the highest freight and passenger rates they ever paid. Does the third party or any other pa rantee our farmers lower freight r z id the Ameri under government oper a fair. question. ty dare xe This Their Pre War Record The leaders of the Democratic party have not and probably will not attempt to make a nite statement of the meaning of their plat form plank on the tariff question. The declara yor Of a tax on com 1 houses that. will ion, protect against “modities entering the cus’ *yromote effective compet anonoply, and at the same time produce a fair rey enue to support the government.” evere This is.n generality which means nothing, Un lexs the Deme ndidate prepared te an by an “eff ve compet ition” their plat is as meaningless as sc wach blank pap The Democratic candidates aor the presidenc ud yice presidency and fer gress should frankly de mpetition they desire is such as would dis- mm goods in American markets, If of competition is not deemed neces- in order to be “effective,” they should spe "city what measure of competition they haye in -.thind, are whether ~ex .'The Democratic platform assumes, without as- seserting, that « Democratic tariff would promote ° “that reasonable hange of commodities which would enable foreign countries to-buy our sur nl ngrienltural 1 manufactured product But that mption is disputed by the records oF experien The Wilson- Underwood tariff law went » effect in October, 191 and was in force ten months before the outhr of the war -i Europe. During that ten months, as compared erith the corresponding period under the Repub -n tariff law, our imports. increased from ,500,000,000 to $1,600,000,000, and at the same "time our exports decreased from $2,110,000,000 to $1,950,000,000,-I1f the Democratic theory had been c.rrect our exports should have increased at the same time as our imports. Instead of that there was the oppoyité movement of exports. We increased our imports $100,000,000 and decreased our exports $160,000,000 making a change ad- verse to the interests of American industry to the extent of $260,000,000 in a period of ten months. ‘ Let it be remembered that this occurred before the war broke out and when the Democratic tar- iff was operating under normal ‘conditions. That this change had a very pronounced depressing effect upon American business .conditions was admitted by the Democratic administration when its department of ‘commerce made a report to congress on comparative conditions after the Democratic party went into power and the Demo- cratic tariff went into effect. From that report the following excerpts are taken. Receipts of Railways—A comparison of eact: month with the same month of the preceding ar shows steady increases until September, 3, after which there was a decline each month except March, 1914, and February, 1915, until April, 1915, when each month showed an increase. Bank Clearings—These, when each month is compared with the same month of the preced- ing year, show a decline during five consecutive months beginning October, 1913. Production of Pig Iron—The production of pig iron in-the United States eachymonth when com- pared with the same month of the preceding year shows an increase from January ‘to Sep- tember, 1913. After this each month shows a de- cline until April 1, 1915, Business Failures—The number of business failures each month, when compared with the same month of the preceding year, show an in- crease each month from April, 1913, to August 115, except in July, 1913, and May, 1914, when dec: es ure’shown, ’ The result could scarcely have been otherwise nor can it be otherwise in the future. If we buy more abroad and sell less abroad, as we do under a Democratic tariff, every line of Ameri- can enterprise must necessarily suffer. Too Great a Price! What would happen to the taxpayer if the state were asked to spend the incredible millions that have been snent in private oil exploration, in mineral prospect*ng or in developing ifdus- trial enterprises? The taxpayer would revolt, Yet these explorutions are made by private enterprise and aftzr that, the business has to be developed by painstaking} efficiency that is the only safeguard against bankruptcy and which is foreign to the whole spirit of officialdom. The incessant clamor for lower taxes would not be made if the people believed they were get- ting value received for all public moneys ex- pended. History indicates that wastefulness in govern- mental affairs increases in geometrical progres sion with every increase in revenue. Every ex- pansion of federal activities and payrolls means decreased efficiency. Everybody but organized railroad labor. felt the strangle hold of the iron hand of officialdom during the inglorious federal Failroad regime Government operation brought higher costs, poor er servic utter, adamantine inelasticity to meet the national shipping needs. To double, or quadruple, or to increase by ten times the official payroll, means to build up a political officialism that has the public by the throat— her in, oil, mines, railroads, insur- ance, utilities or in any thing that the state might do, If workers could be enlisted or drafted into an industrial army at $30 a month, and made to Serve or go to prison or be shot at sunrise, in- (lustry might be completely federalized at a pro- fit. But what a price to pay in freedom and in the killing of individual initiative and ambition. : What Spargo Says John Spargo, scientist, philosopher and re- formed socialist says: “By no stretch of the ima lette be called 2 actionary he er: nation can LaFol- Socialist. He is’ the extreme re- . For any liberal-minded man, whether calls himself a Socialist, or radical or a lib- » to support LaFollette would be to abdicate ‘on. There is nothing in his domestic or his foreign policy views that could conceivably ap- 1 to any who wantyto achieve the democratic ideal of industry. ‘ “Socialism is on the shelf. There is no place for its application in America today..The only theory of application that those who call them- selves Socialists have is the theory — evolved abroad, a theory based on foreign conditions, a theory thought out by men who had these condi- tions in-mind—but there is no theory that even remotely applies fo present day conditions here or elsewhere.” 1 : Coolidge Leadership “The leadership of Calvin Coolidge is not only political; it is moral and spiritual. Not since Lincoln has there been a-leader camparable to rim. It is likely that jn the history of the na- tion there will be none that will measure up to sim to force of character, in intellectual integ- ‘ity and capacity and in every spiritual quality. all his utterances he displays the soul of m naked: to his countrymen. He is the incar- nate spirit of sincerity, the personification of utter frankness. The conception of a falsehood ‘ impossible to him. His philosophy is written n homely terms. There is no attempt at fine writing, no didactic utterances couched in high ounding periods, no sounding brass and tinkling ‘ymbals, yet his style is of a purity that has lever been surpassed. It is all substance, sub- tance and more substance. This is the manner in which Joseph W. Wright speaks of the president in the Country Editor. i The Primary System _ Mr. J. R. Corthell a citizen of Boston is no more n love with the primary system of securing nom- nations for public office, than citizens of other cities and states where this spec curse rests upon the electorate. Massachusetts but ‘recently held her state-wide primary, and Mr. Corthell gives his reaction to a local Boston newspaper in these word “It seems to me that our state primaries come very near to being a farce. I tried in vain until the last moment recently to learn even the names of nominees for the minor state offices—secre- tary, treasurer, ete. The ve evenins before the day for yoting came, I did happen to see one party's list, but then T was no better off, for I didn’t know, one of them from Adam. I went to the polls in absolute ignorance of the fitness of these men for the offices in question, I did x best however, voting for the nominee name where there was no contest and refraining from making my check where there was. Moreover, if one-half what I read is true, men are nominated who are entirely unfit and men receive many thousands of votes whose election would bring discredit and shame upon the state. “Is there no remedy? T think there is, Is it to go back to ihe old caucus system 4 is, I believe, to make*all the minor officers ap- pointive instead of elective. ~ “If the president of the United States can be trusted to name the secretary of state, secretary of the treasury, secretary of war and all the. rest ofthe heads-of the great departments of the gévernment, cannot the fovernor of Massachu- setts be trusted. to appoint a suitable secetary, treasurer, auditor and attorney. general?” Will-Remain Supreme’ Senator LaFollette wants a United States su- preme. court which “is subordinate to congress not ‘independent of it. There were LaFollettes long ago whe proposed repeatedly to remove John Marshall because he persisted that the supreme court was the authority to declare the constitu- tion and not the congress. John Marshall kept his seat. The supreme court retained its authority, and will continue. Against Freedom and Progress In demanding the destruction of the supreme court’s function of standing between congress and violation of the federal, constitution’s guar- antees of individual rights, the LaFollette-So- cialist candidaey aims a blow at the very foun- dations of American freedom and progress. The issue raised is the most important that has come before the American people: for determination since the doctrine of secession was overthrown! An Object Lesson The object lesson our people have had in, watch- ing a man like Owen D. Young work out the Eu- ropean reparations tangle in the capacity of a private citizen has helped crystallize the Amer- ican mind in favor of more business and less politics in governmental affairs. Commenting on the work done by Mr. Young, Business System in War Department No branch of the federal estab- Ushment furnishes a more conspic- uous example of the “more business in government” policy of the Repub- Nean administration than the war department under the management of Secretary John W. Weeks. Al- though the war ended in 1918, dur- ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, most of it under Democratic control, war department expendi- tures were $1,101.615,013. In the fiseal year ending June 30, 1924, ex- penditures were $348,629,778, rhow- ing a reduction under Republican administration of more than $750,- 000,000. The national defense’ was not weakened by those economics. Practical business methods made the cuts without any toss of effi- ciency. When war was declared on April 6, 1917, there were 45,911 civilians on the war department payroll. In March, 1921, about two years and a half after the war had ended, the Democrats were employing 90,031 civillans. The Republicans have re- duced that figure more than half to 42,458, actually less than the pre- war civilian payroll under the Deni- ocrats. But there has been no de- crease of work, onthe contrary, du- ties growing out of the war have in- creased the output of the depart- ment to Several times that of 1916. When the Republicans took eon- trol of the war department they found hundreds of millions of dollars in claims on file against the govern- ment. Most of these have been rat- Isfactorily adjusted on a basis of about 13 cents on the, dollar, there has been a refund of $3,895,000 of overpayments, and the department of justice is prosecuting claims against private war contractors to the amount of $21,000,000. In addl- tion the war department has col- lected $200,629,000 through the set- tlement of 1,379 foreign claims. Another tremendous business project successfully conducted _un- the Democrats. tempt.

That's business, not politics. What's It For The peak of radicalism or one of the highest peaks—is to be found in the following plank of the LaFollette-Socialist platfornf: “We favor submitting to the people a consti- tutional amendment providing that congress may by enacting ‘a statute, make it effective over a judicial vote.” In other words congress may, by mere statu- tory enactment, make an unconstitutional mea- sure constitutional. This is deliberate subversion of the constitution to the whim of congress— nothing else, It is a definite scheuic tc encourage congress to act in defiance of the constitution; and, if there is an impartial decision that the constitu- tion has been violated, to set aside the authority of the courts and of the constitution itself by mere repetition of the congressional fiat. Is the constitution worth having, or preserv- ing or obeying? The so-called LaFollette Social- ist platform thinks not. The American people have heretofore thought otherwise. Because they have thought otherwise for a century and a half we have a constitution and constitutional free- dom. eject him.
