CHICAGO DAILY SOCIALIST 207 Washington Street, Chicago, Illinois. r first meage to the comogeo counoil sid "Before all things home rule the right to self government-should be secured." Over forty home rule bills were sent by the common coun pil to the state legislature for passage. While a larger number of these pas sed than had been expected, moat of them were defeated, and very im portant rights were dealed by the republicans and democrats of the legislature. The city asked for the right to con duct a municipal loan department. putting loan sharks out of business; for the right to render free legal ser vice to citiens who cannot afford a lwyer: for the right to buy land and construct model homes for working men. Ail of these, among oters, were denied. Second, the city of Milwaukee to: a half century has been In the hands of poaidcal exploiters. For years it was run by a crew of politicians as cunning, resourceful and reactionary as are to be found anywhere in America. To coddle the taxpayers, they pltdyed the game of "keeping down taxes". And with a wild, shrewd vengeance they played this game. Every pay ment of cash was put off to the farth eat limit of time, through bonds. It was a carnival of long time bonds for short time Improvements. Por payments that broke up and wore out in seven and rm years, bonds for twenty years were issued. The city was plunged into debt One of the first things found by the Socialists on entrance to office was a deficit of $200,000 which had been carefully concealed by the old regime through the Juggling of figures Land contacts aggregating $360.000 came due Jan. 1. 111. . That prin ciple payment on these had been evaded for ten years was nat publicir known in the city till th6 Socialists began their "open book" policy.. Thus., a third of a millon dolars debt fell due on an administration which was meeting debts in a way different from the frenzed finance methodsvb had prevailed. These affairs cut down the amount of cash available for new enterprises. In Spite of this, however, every step that could possibly be taken toward the realiation of the platform de mands. has been taken. When the Los Angeles Times says that the Milwaukee SoclaAsts have not brought about city ownership of public service enterpises. it tells the truth. When it says the Socialists promised such public ownership, it lie. Under its present charter, the city is forbidden from suoh action. What the Iocialists did do was the onmy thing possible for them to do They Introduced a bill in the legis lature asking the right for the city to condemn, buy and operate such enterprises And the bill was defeated in the Wisconsin legislature, despite ait its pretenses to "progresslve' prin. ciples. When the Los Angeles Time.. says the Boclalists have not estatllshed tour public markets In the city. It tells the truth. When It says the Swcialists have. taken no action In the mattr. It lies. A public market commisaion has been appointed and It is a cer tainty that recommendations will be brought in that will asnure the ,stab lishment of markets In the proper way In the year 112. (fhe market which has been operating for thirty years ha. not proven a success be cause of unwise methods. And he fore plunging into what might be a repetition of this fal;ure, there will be used careful thought as to where the markets should be located and how operated. Workmen's Compensation (Continued from first page.) States government is not willing to remain among the worst of employers. This iulck action of the United States government is important as an exam. pe to our State an Muncipal govern meet, which together employ millions. "The public a, large does not appre ciate the many hasardous occupations in wl.ich F'ederal employees are en gaged Outside of the dangerous lethmian Canal Zone operations there are the navy yards. the power stations. the raiway mall service, the forestry service, the rural mall delivery and many other branches each with dan pers of Its own. Over two hundred persons were fatally injured in Gov ernment service in the first year's operation of the law. The United Atates Government should not remain anong the worst of employers, rather being a model employer which each government institution should strive ,o be. Besides this quick acton of the U. S. Oovrnment is important as an example to our state an municipal governments, which together employ an enormous number, reaching per haps into the millions. "It is considered." said Professor Ernest Freund. from the Law Bohool of the University of Chicago. "thas if an employer for the purpose of his busines provides and requires. ,he use of dangerous appitances which are, humanely speaking, cetain to result in accident he ought not to let ,he con s.qunces of the accident lie where ,hty fall, but assume his share t them. Professor Freund smid that all leg islative commissions appointed to In vestigate he matter favored the prin ciple of compensation as distinguished from liability. He outined the poin a involved in the principhr of compen saton us ewng: First: Payment for Injuries or death. Irrespective of fault or negll ge.nce except when caused by wilful mieconduct. Second. The benefit payahbl bear ing a de finite relation to the former earning capadcly. Third. The payment of the benefit in periodical installments, subject to commuiatlon to a lump sum under specific comnditions. Fourth: Denial of copensatlon for a brief initial period, in order to ellmina., the great mass of nslgnifl cant injuries but llwHral Iprovlsion for medleal ,reatment Fifth: Abrogation of the right of action at common law except where the fault of the employer Is aggra vated. The bomb Is out of place In country where workers have the use of the ballot. goclallsm Is not anarchy It is as different from it as is light from dark ness or good from evl. Give labor to full social value of Its toll, and poverty wlil largely disap pear, and aong with it the vice, dis ease and crime whic poverty produces. Capitallsm enables the cunning and the strong to live in idleness and lux ury on the toll of others. Profit-making robe labor of four fifths of the output value of Its toll. This supports the employers, the wealthy unemployed and our other society parasites-those unnecessary midlemen, advertlsers, servants, etc. who are not producers, and who are not needed as distibutere of commod itles. The prep.nt system is so foul as to be a stenob in the nostrils of midlons of right thinking people, sad will have to go under the advance of Socialism.

Sociali wial win, because the workers we a hundred to the masters' one, an all they have to do Is to reach f pollical power and take it. Ad that s needed is the awakening and the wakening has begun. Socialis should win, in order that the many w kers and wealth producers, the wage slaves, may be tree from cx ploitatlo by the few masters, and the righ' of II be established over the might of the few. Soclalil urges that the means ef production and distribution of wealth that are social and public In their nature ahal be owned collectively. This incltdes the great wealth of raw material in the earth--ol, coal. Iron which nature created for all men alke, and machinery for its elabor ationand Sistributlon which machinery the workers have made but do not own. Socialism is a worald-wide move ment of the working class and Its sympathisers to have the products of labor go to those who produce them; in other words, to secure for the producers of wealth te wealth which they produce, that they may be better housed, better fed, better educated and live a larger and better life. Soclallits believe that Socialism, by abolising the profit-making system In business, and by establishing the co operative commonwealth, will remove more than anyting else proposed, the political corruption and economic motive as well as the opportunity for wrongs, and wihout destroying indi vidual berty or te incentive to worthy effort. Society should be so organized that ad parasites would become producers of something useful. This would in crease the producing army and great ly shorten the hours ofwork neoessay for the production of all needed com moditles. Three hours of work per day would do this, It isbelieved, with moredn machinery, under the econ omy of Socialistic management. Socialism would make ail social utilities collectivey owned; t iere would be work for all; each worker would be paid wed for services per formed; the great surplus called pro fits, which now goes to the exploiters. would be saved for public welfare. Society being so rich filthy sweat shops would be abolished; human rookeries would be torn down; streets and publlo parks wouid be improved beyond anything now attempted; better water supplies secured; public service of all kinds enlarged and made better in quality; better public schooh and other Institutions of learnst tg sablished.
