President Xortheastern Association Says New Plan of Government Is Engineered by Monopolists. "You can quote me to the effect that 150 of us have banded tosrether to fight the adoption of the proposed charter, which is now being; framed by the Charter Commission, and will defeat It If we can. whan it comes before the people on a vote." The foregoing was the declaration yesterday of George B. Frank, presi dent of the Northeastern Improvement Association, who lives at 993 East Fif teenth street. North. ' When the Com mission was appointed Mr. Frank ex pressed dissatisfaction over the mem bers selected, but said he would wait to see their work. He declared further in his interview yesterday the whole theory of the charter is centralization of poft er. - "We are opposed to the centraliza tion of power and no representation for the common people." he continued. "We shall oppose the appointment of so many officers, who ought to be elected by the people! We are opposed to giving the City Engineer such un limited power to ride over a remon strance. We are opposed to paying Councilnien $3uu0, and the Mayor 16000. Those salaries are too high. We are opposed to the disposition the Com mission has made of the water question by giving the Council power to name a comlnittee to run the department. "In every way," continued Mr. Frank, "the common people of - Portland are being ignored in this charter building, although they will be called to pay the big salaries that have been provided for, and yet have nothing to say about them. The common people are not represented on the Charter Commission. The lawyers are there, the doctors are on the Commission; the interests, rail ways and corporations, are all repre sented, and the charter that is being framed la entirely-in their interest, as was predicted it would be from the men appointed on the Commission.

Mr. Costfrove could not reach the north by any other route and It means that his trip has once more been postponed.

INEQUALITY OF POSSESSION Socialist's Answer to President Eliot's Remarks on Socialism. CHINOOK, Wash., Jan. S. (To the One Way To Avoid Piles and Appendicitis. "Every incoming patient re- cites the same story neglected or Improperly treated constlpa- tion. The great Increase of opera- ti.ins for appendicitis, rectal dls- eases and womanly displace- ments, Indicates the crying need of a mild but sure treatment for constipation," says a well-known hospital matron. "Headache, stomach troubles, piles and all the fevers of children can be pre- vented by using this mild form- ula whenever any costiveneas exists: Get at any well-stocked drug store 'one ounce aromatic fluid caacara.' 'one ounce com- pound essence cardiol,' and 'two ounces aromatic syrup rhubarb." T Mix. and adults take from H to 2 r teaspoonfuls after each meal, while children will readily take from five drops to a teaspDonful ? after each meal, according to age. T This treatment will correct the Z bowels and not drug them. The v longer It is used the less need of It except when some heavy meal a is consumed, or when one catches s cold." Socialism." which I read with Interest in your issue of January 6. he says: "That human beings are not equal in capacity or power. In natural gift or in capacity to receive training." I don't think any one Is so ready to admit this as the Socialist, yet. as President Eliot tries to' make out. the Socialist has not considered this at all, and imagines that equality of opportu nity Is going to give every human being an equal amount of brains, energy, capacity and power. Fudge! He says: "If. you make men free, there will develop among them differences of social position, of wealth, of control of capital, because- In freedom, men develop extraordinary differences in their power of making and keeping capital." According to this, we have all kinds of freedom right now. but the Socialist has this "free dom" proposition carefully analyzed and he knows what It amounts to If President Eliot doesn't. The power is free to the extent of being compelled to accept whatever me master class impose on him. ana the Im positions are many and burdensome. It is a fact In economic science, that labor applied to the forces of nature, produces all wealth. No matter how carefully ana closely we look into this, no other means or wealth can be found and the great inequality of possession" today Is the re sult of "freedom," only to the length and breadth of the free exploitation of the worker. This exploitation the Socialist la endeavoring to abolish and will tight It out on the political batt.'elleld, demanding TKMiiic.-u freedom" for all. men and women President Eliot lava -fini:iil.rHhlA individual property and says of it that it is a anna iact of human belief and human practice and the more "freedom" we acquire, the more we cling to the "in dividual right of property." Well, the Social ist understands this. Individual property, tools and other necessities nf nm.inrti un used by individual owners, ill be Individual property, mase Comdex machines rcmiirin associated use; those industries which, by im-ir tonipieiuy, necessitate divisions labor and the needed departments and agencies of production in which othr than the direct producers are required to operate will become socially owned. The umbrage of Socialistic doctrine as private property is b. iruw man or president Knot s manu facture and he is welcome to all the en joyment there Is in punching It to pieces. The prosperity diffused in the United States. ne er more so than now, accord ing to President KliOt. fa a tmnickv nrnsinr- ity. and cannot be any other kind under capitalism. Any big daily paper proves the brand of our prosperity. The more unem ployecl there Is. the lower wages will be. and the wnrkers, therefore, enjoy more of presi dent UUot's "freedom." And the distribution of wealth is so "just," too. Iet'B see; In 1106. by estimation, the weaitn or the United States was, in round numbers, $lor, 000,000,000. The producers' share a measly 1 per cent, and the no n-producers share a. big, fat 00 yr cant. TliVre are 1 t'.oo.i.onu families in the United Stntr. Aho.it N.300. 000 own no homes. Nearly 5,000,000 have a drawing poultice on their homes. 8om ti thing" like 41.000,000 people are prupertyless. The distribution of wealth must be "just" when the 41.0oo.000 have produced nearly all of the $100,000,000,000 in wealth. Thomas G. Sherman says: "Within .10 years, tfi United States .will be substantially owned by lesn than 500 people of the male popu lation." This appears "juBt" enough for the non capitalists. President Eliot says; "They f Socialists) nave no monopoly of the principles of good will among men and are not alone in their faith in human brotherhood." Un doubtedly this is true, but the Socialist li working on something over S hour shifts, day and night, ratn or shine, to make "human brotherhood" and "good will among men"' a little more than a couple of lines of cold type. What Is president Eliot doing for "good will among men," and "human brotherhood?" Teaching a continuation of the system I Panics aren't caused by any "good will' lost between employer and employed, as President Eliot has In print. Between em ployer and the employed, there Is constant strife. The present system offers nothing better. The employer Is for a minimum wage for labor on a long day schedule, and the first consideration , beyond this, for what labor has produced. Is sale and profit Actual use of the production or the good It might do Is of secondary importance. Opposed to th's 1b the demand of the pro ducer for a higher wage and a shorter work day. It is a disagreement measured by the scale stick of capitalism. The workers, ever day, produce so much more than they can buy, that unless an outside market is avail able for the surplus, there Is stagnation and what Is often termed over-production. Factories shut down, mills close their doors, and cars are sidetracked until the surplus gradually melts away to those countries consuming more than they pro duce. The trusts, keeping a close eye on commercial channels and the world markets, are learning a lesson In world consumption and are not to be caught with full ware houses and no orders. However, this de parture from the methods employed a few years back, is of financial benefit only to combinations of wealth. The present moce of running even with the trade doesn't fat ten the pay envelope of the worker, and shut-downs are fully as prevalent. Pome of the big Eastern milN are limiting their output by running 20 days to the month. President Eliot says: "We are all labor ers!" Sure, but It Is an Indirect admission of one of the great wastes of capitalism. The hobo really works. It Is no "snap" hitting brake-beams, blind-baggage, and the back door, but It counts f or absolutely nothing. It's wasted energy. Dcpew, Piatt, Morgan, Gates and others In the Fame pocket are workers, but they don't produce in real value anyway near what they con sume. It's more wasted energy. No Socialist advocates the giving of prop erty acquired by one person to another who has acquired nothing. No accredited Social ist ever made a statement like that. Of course, those who are aged and Infirm and those wha are mentally and physically un able will be supported by the state, proba bly, and not at all as a measure of pink tea charity, but as their due. This is simple enough : "The world for the work ers." "All those who are physically and mentnlly fitted to labor must labor to live, and the just reward of a man's labor Is all of the product of that labor." The worker couldn't get more, and less than that, the Socialist doesn't consider. This is left to the capitalists, who are past-masters In the art of "dividing up" 10 per cent to the pro ducer. AO per cent to themselves. President Eliot eems to think that the Socialists are on the boards with a pro gramme of universal ease, repose and lazi ness. Under Socialism, if President Eliot didn't produce anything, he wouldn't get anything. It would be up to nlm. , WIUT, n ATtROWS 1 Office: Dock Foot IMPORTERS BEAVER HILL COAL ' ENGLISH CANNEL COAL The Hardest and Best Coal in Portland We will not allow the price of Coal to be raised during the cold spell.
