The Portlnncl city council has
been having quite a time of it
deciding whether or not the power
to regulate prices shnll he included
in the franchise to be given the
Portland Railway, Light and Pow
er Co. Portland .seems to be be
hind the times. A number of St
Johns folks have concluded that it
doesn't matter whether or not till
power is included in a franchise
that any city has the power to regit
late the prices despite the wording
of franchises. Portland should
wise up.
It teems to us if the socialists
would discuss a few details con
nectcd with their doctrine it might
give one an idea of what tocxpect
.something that little light is shed
on by socialist advocates. Under
socialism the average man woult
like to know how he himself would
be benefited, if nt till. I low a gov
eminent millions of dollars in debt
could pay higher wages and yet op
crate at cost, unless it plunders the
rich to pay its indebtedness. They
soy "all must work or .starve" the
same as slaves in the bouth. Ye
competition is killed. That woult'
mean practically manual labor for
all. It would mean the elimination
of women from their various em
ployments, and compel them to re
ly upon the generosity of male rela
lives for any money they might
want. It would mean one store
and only one of any other business
in St. Johns. Several would be
eliminated entirely. It would mean
the throwing out of employment of
posxihly millions of jmhhoiih not now
doing manual laDor. uulitteil, ns
most of these are, for hard labor,
what shall they do? l-or instance
one or two physicians could took
after the wants of St. Johns. Al
most a thousand printers in Port
laud would be thrown out of em
ploymeut at tnelr trade, since one
newspaper would do, and job print
iug be unnecessary. Ily reason of
long years of indoor work they are
unfitted for manual work, What will
they do to keep from starving? Who
shall do the work in the ditch, in
the mines, and the undesirable
work in general? One man would
have 110 more light to be compelled
to do this than another. One man
would have us much right to In."
come 11 professional man ns auoth
as that Is, he must be afforded the
same opportunity to do to, Auoth
er thing the tienplu in general woiili
like to know is, what objection the
socialists have to religion mid the
churches, since so very few so
eialists bdong to any chinch. If
the details cannot be satisfactorily
explained, why should any man be
iHirntiHdcd to make it "leap in the
dark?" The usual reply that de
tails will adjust themselves doesn't
go very well in this enlightened age.
