—two hits.
I want to apologize for stirring up

Q. Can you tell me if a debt Incur
i red six years ago can be collected new
!by law? It is for doctor's services. I
burnt out last spring, lost everything
I had, and was laid up for two rronths
from burns so that I could not work
i Now I have a job on the section at
$1.50 per day, and have a f.ir?ily of
j eleven (11) to feed on that. Two of
the family are in H , wife and
one boy, boy going to school and wife
cooking in a hotel there. I have eight
children with me, five going to school,
the oldest keeping house for us. My
$1.50 a day will not feed us; but we
exist on it. It leaves nothing for
clothes, so wife has to work out to
get clothes. The wife ought to be
here with us and let the oldest girl go
to school also, but can not on account
of the low wages I get. It Is the only
work that I can get and stay on my
homestead. Wife blames me for the
low wages I get; but I did not vote
for it, and haven't voted for low wages
for low wages for the past eight years,
and never will again. But there are
too many voting against me for low
wages, so that I have to work for low
wages with them. The debt I speak
of is $28 Incurred in 1909 or 1910. Can
It be collected now? Or can they gar
nishee my wages? If so, it would make
me lose the job I have, and I would
have to leave home to get another
job. Find enclosed stamp for reply.
A. I have sent reply as requested,
but have put the letter in, with the
names suppressed, as I think people
ought to know how conditions are.
This is not an isolated example, but
is more or less common. If he could
Ket the wage that a workingman ought
to get he could pull through all right
and bring up and educate his chil
dren; bvii there la no doubt but that
the comrade would have been much
better off and betti r able to fighi the
battles of life, If he did not have
el( vi n children tied to his neck. To
all couples who an- In dauger ot being
thus burdened I recommend that they

APPROVED BY CONVENTION
The above resolution was read at
the mass meeting of Local Everett
last Sunday evening and concurred in
without a single dissenting vote.
NO UNION, NO SOCIALISM
A SUGGESTED NATIONAL PARTY
REFERENDUM
Require, in addition to the recogni
tion of the class struggle, that no per
son be admitted to membership in the
party who opposes the principle of
economic or industrial unionism for
the working class.
Those of us who have spent the
best years of our lives in the strug
gle, individually and collectively, and
learned our lesson through bitter ex
perience, have had the hard fact din
ned into our very fibre that if there
is no union there will be no Socialism.
There are now those in our midst
who oppose the principle of unionism
apparently because it is in a process
of development which their short
sighted vision cannot perceive. Oth
er reasons might be mentioned. Some
of these when no longer inclined to
oppose unionism openly, are using
other methods. Let us close the gates
to any more of this medievalism.
Those who oppose the economic
union of the workers are in fact up
holding the prolongation of capitalism
and the steal of the wages system.
A real study of economic determin
ism reveals the historic fact that no
political action can rise above its
course, that is, the prevailing indus
trial status.

named pamphlet for them.
As to the legal question, usually a
debt over three years old cannot be
collected; but if any payment has
been made on it within three years,
then the debt would not be outlawed
until three years have elapsed since
the date of such payment; or if a
promise in writing has been made,
then the debt would not be outlawed
until six years after the date of such
written promise. If it should be that
the debt is not outlawed, then, of
course, '.hey can sue you and garni
shes your wages.

"From id|i in bottom of society, how !

is true, are scattered and, through the

invisible Industrial principalities are
a greater menace to the welfare of
the nation, than would be equal pow

kingdoms in different parts of the
country. They might then be visual

Influence invisibly permeates and con
trols every phase of life and industry.
' 'The king can do no wrong* not
only because he is above the law, but
because every function is either per
formed or responsibility assumed by
his ministers and agents. Similarly,
our Rockefellers, Morgans, Fricks,
Vanderbilts and Astors can do no in
dustrial wrong, because all effective
action and direct responsibility is
shifted from them to the executive of-
Clals who manage American industry.

"The 'families' of theße industrial
prlnoea are already wpii established
and are knit together not only by com
merctal alllanceH, but by a network of
inter-marriages which assure har

mon interest Ir threatened.
"HffeotiTe action by congress is re
quired, therefore, not only to readjust
on a basis commensurate in some
measure to the service performed, the
existing inequalities | n the distribu
tion of wealth and Income, but also
to check the growth of an hereditary
aristocracy, which Is not only foreign
to every conception of American gov
ernment, but menacing to the welfare
of the people and the existence of the
nation as a democracy.
"The objects to be attained in mak
ing this readjustment are: to reduce
the swollen, unearned fortunes of
those who have a superfluity; to raise
the underpaid masses to a level of de
cent find comfortable living; and at
the same time to accomplish this on a
basil which will, in some measure,
approximate the just standard of in
come proportional to service."
INHERITANCE TAX A REMEDY
As a remedy for the unequal distri
bution of wealth and income, the re
port urges "the enactment of an in
heritance tax so graded that while
makiiiK generous provision for the
support of dependents and the educa
tion of minor children, it shall leave
no large accumulation of wealth to
pass into hands which had no share in
its production." The report suggests
that a limit of one million dollars be
fixed on the amount that shall pass
to the heirs. It recommends that the
revenue from this tax be reserved by
the federal government for three prin
cipal purposes:
1. The extension of education.
2. The development of other im
portant social services which should
properly be performed by the nation
| which are discussed in detail else
where.
3. Development in co-operation with
| states and municipalities of great con
structive works, such as road build
ing, irrigation and reforestation, which
would materially increase the effi
ciency and welfare of the entire na-
I tion.
