ABOLISH PROFIT SYSTEM
And There will be no Use for the Re
call in This Country
Editor Courier:
As the recall has now become his
tory we will try and open up our Soc
ialist column, And here let me con
gratulate our new officers. I know
them to be good men, but what can
they do under a rotten system? Don't
expect too much of them friends. The
outgoing men have by sympathy; good
men also, but they were in the way of
evolution. The old is passing into ob
livion, the new is taking place. What
has been the cause? King Profit be
hind the throne. Remore the profit
system and the recall will also bo a
thing of the past. Here follows the
medicine. Take a good dose:
Socialism is the science of society
or of social living. It has to do with
things that concern society, and ef
fects the individual only as that in
dividual is related to other individu
als through association.
Socialsim cannot affect the owner
ship my clothing, but it will have
to do with conditions under which
the clothing is made.
Socialism will not interfere with
my religion, unless I choose to make
that religion a nuisance to others to
the extent of becoming a law breaker.
Socialism will not affect the family
relation, unless there should arise
cases in which that relation should
become dangerous to society at large.
Socialism will not affect the incen
tive to make things, unless that incen
tive leads one to make things that are
bad for society or to dispose. of them
in such a way as to exploit society,
Socialism will not interfere with
the consumers' right to a choice but
it will interfere with his privilege of
consuming without producing an
equivalent of what he consumes.
Socialism will destroy the incentive
of the loan shark.
Socialism will abolish the landlord
Socialism will restore the home
Socialism will put love above f inan
cial conditions.
Socialism will establish equality of
opportuity.
Socialism will give the children
chance.
Socialism will reward the inventor,
Socialism will develop art.
Socialism will protect the good, the
beautiful and the true.
William H. Osborn, commissioner
of the internal revenue bureau under
the corporation tax law, has recently
made his report, in which it is shown
that
The total number of corporations
during 1912 was about 310,000, an in
crease of seven per cent over 1911
and compared with increases of six
per cent in 1911 over 1910 and less
than four per cent in 1910 over 1909
About 15,000 corporations failed to
make returns for 1912 earnings and
are subject to penalties.
The earnings during the calendar
year of 1912 aggregated the stupen
doug sum of $3,304,000,000.
Three and one-third billions of dol
lars, earned above all expenses, in a
single year by the corporations of the
United States.
The sum is so vast that it staggers
the imagination.
The record is the greatest in the
history of the corporations as will be
seen from the following extract taken
from the report:
Corporations of the United States
earned $3,304,000,000 above all ex
penses during the calendar year of
1912, exceeding all previous records
since the enactment of the corporation
tax law by 1400,000,000.
Every dollar of this stupendous
amount was produced by the working
class, but it will not go into the
pockets of that class. On the contrary
it will go to swell the revenues of the
exploiting class who in the present
system are the masters of the situ
ation and take to themselves the fruit
of labor's efforts, leaving to the labor
er but a bare subsistence as his re
ward.
It is this kind of "dividing up" that
tne capitalists stand for while protest
ing that they are opposed to Social
ism because it will "divide up" thti
wealth of the nation.
It is admitted by all that every man
nas the right to life. In order to bus
tain life ho must have food. Under
the present order to secure food he
must work, beg or steal. According
to the official statistics there are al
ways from a million and a half to
two million men out of work in this
country. They are out of work, not
because the product of their work is
not needed, but because those that
need it have no money with which to
buy it Production stops whenever
there is no profit in it for the owners
of production the needs of the people
have nothing to do with it If these
idle men have the right to live, it
follows that they have the right to
help themselves to food wherever thoy
can find it. They can find no work to
do, therefore they must beg, steal,
or starve. If they beg they are called
tramps, and if they steal they are
called criminals. And yet we sav all
men have the right to live. There is
evidently a "nigger" in the woodpile
somewhere. Socialists say the colored
gentleman's name is Profit.

THE POWER OF SELF RULE
Public Opinion has Awakened and
Day of Boss Rule has Gone
Heretofore we have had men who
had the courage to stand up for
righteousness and demand honest
service to the public and the proper
dispensary of the public funds by our
public servants in whom the people
placed this trust. But those men never
had the support of the people, and
everyone looked upon them as hav
ing an object of their own purpose in
doing so. What can one individual
accomplish' when he cannot get the
support of public opinion and people
do not have the courage of demand'
ing their right
H. E. Cross, who has always stood
and demanded honest service, but his
labors were in vain and the public
always looked at his demands with
suspicion as a matter of selfish and
jealious purpose, but when the people
got up in arms and awakened up to
the fact that it was about time to
call a halt on misappropriation and
extravagant disposition of public
funds, he was again willing and ready
to come out on the side of righteous
ness, according to the conviction of
his conscience.
As Clackamas county has exper
ienced one of the greatest land slides
in the history of the Northwest recall
vote and the first succesful one in the
State of Oregon, it has certainly dem-
onstrated that the people have awak
ened up ot the fact that they have a
power in the ballot and hat the people
have a ruling power, which our public
officials in the future will recognize
and respect. It has also demonstrated
the fact that our public officials will
be obliged as public servants, to re
spect the demand and wishes of the
public and not be ignored. And only
patronage distributed to the favourite
few, who are the pet tools of our of
ficials.
Clackamas county, which ihas the
reputation of being the most radical
in the state on all public opinions, yet
it has demonstrated that the time of
boss and ring rule is to be relegated
as ancient history. Why should our in
itiative, referendum and recall laws
be a dead letter law and the people not
realize the power they have thru
these laws, which have been drafted
and passed with no small amount of
labor and many nights and days of our
progressive statesman, the Honorable
Mr. U'Ren. Many a time he has thot
that the people have never appreciated
his services to the public in giving
the power of self-rule.
Do our public officers, who are only
mere servants of the people, think
because their election has been secur
ed and that only by the activity of a
few favorite subordinates office seek
ers and the indifference of the major
ity of the public vote that when elec
ted they have the power and priv
ilege of making use of their official
benefit and their satelites, disregard
ing entierly what is of the greatest
benefit to the great majority and
only favoring the favourite few.
The spirit of public opinion has fi
nally awakened and the great public
is now beginning to realize that they
cannot any more be enslaved by public
officials but realize the fact that the
ballot and our primary laws, which
were passed for their deliverance of
boss rule, and that we can demand
honest service and proper expenditure
of public funds.
Mr. U Ren, in forming these laws,
could see in the future that whereby
the masses could liberate them selv
es from the enslaved power of polit
ical bosses. Like Herbert Bigelow of
Ohio, who labored ten years in agitat
ing and educating public opinion be
fore he was able to get these same
laws, which broke up the power of
political bosses and eliminated the
grafting system which existed.
Our greatest reform educators have
lived in advance of that age and have
had to patiently wait until public op
inion was sufficiently molded to grasp
the progressive tendency of the age in
which they live. Like Thomas Payne,
who in his day, when he wrote the
Age of Reason, which did more toward
creating that spirit of independence
and demanding the rights of the early
colonist and throwing off of the Brit
ish yoke and demanding equal right.
than the power of the sword, which
was one illustration where the pen
was more powerful than the sword,
While Thomas Payne was buried in
lsgrace there is a time coming when
the American people will erect i
monument to his memory for the ser
vice he rendered in those revolution.
ary times, which has been so shame
fully neglected by an ungrateful nat
ion. Like Baron De Von Reuter, who
left his fatherland to organize and
drill our troops into an efficient army
and after rendering this service this
nation refused to comply and fulfil
the terms of agreement, which were
greed upon.
We, as a people who have been the
victors in this fight for public rights,
should be charitable towards those
on the defeated side and not be car
ried away with with the flush of
victory to unreasonable bounds but be
considerate and act with cool judge
ment in all matters pertaining to pub
service and give their moral sup
port to our newly elected county of
ficials, who have been elected with
out their seeking the office and in
whom everyone has the confidence
that they will exercise their best
judgement and give the public a con
scientious and honest service.
Being a member of tho Equity it
has again demonstrated whereby in
organizing and working together
much can be accomplished. And it is
to be hoped that this organization will
one step towards creating better
conditions. More articles will follow
on these lines. There Is really nothing
the matter with the world except the
mental state of its people. You and I
can change our menal state and open
the way for greater possibilities. Let
the people rule.

Willamette Valley Will Attend
Present indications are that there
will be more people from the Willa
mette Valley attendine the RounH Un
this year, September 11, 12 and 13,
than ever before in the history of
the big show. There will be the Cher-
nan special train from Salem and
intermediate in addition to the reg
ular open day excursions from Port
land, and all points on the electric
lines. Besides the trains, there are a
number of people coming through by
automobile, joining the Portland Tour
ing club and making the run over the
old Barlow trail, a distance of 316
miles. So great an attendance is indi
cated that the management has been
compelled to put in 4700 extra grand
stand seats and 4,000 extra bleachers.
This increases the seating capacity to
30,000 and this will probably be taxed
to capacity' on the last day especially.
