AVeaver Kplalns the Objects iinu xeacimigs ot True Socialism in Letter Editor 'Times": Hcfcrring to that $5 prize by a debating society in Manayunk, for tho best definition of Socialism, I should like to analyze the definitions you printed In a recent Issue of The Times. The definitions submitted nre tho following with my analysis: 1. 'Socialism means that no man has a right to starve to death where millions are suffering from Indiges tion, a socialist s dellnltlon but a clumsy one. Instead of saying no man has a right to starve It would bo better to say no man should bo forced to starve by means of unem ployment, low wages or infirmities. 2. "Socialism Is other people's money." This is an anti-socialist definition and is proposed by one who opposes socialism. I say antl sociallst because all socialists have read and studied economics a little. The definition shows tho writer of It 1ms not. Socialists do not voto thn ticket "because father did." but bo- cause they have arrived at a conclu sion through a process of scientific reasoning. "Other peoplo's money" has nothing to do with the socialist he wants only his own earnlncs. realizing that if he gets more than he earns some one olse must get less than he earns. 3. "Socialism Is tho selfishness underneath trying to annihilate the selfishness on top " This definition Is proposed by a capitalist mind who wishes to measure your corn in his half bushel. There can be no selfish ness In a theory or system which has for Its primary object the giving of every person an equal opportunity. Every privilege the socialist asks for himself ho also asks lor you and every other person. Is that selfish ness? 4. "Socialism Is the revolution of tho stomach." A very close defini tion, but about 2 feet C inches too low in tne average socialist. Social ism is a revolution of the head. B. "Socialism is envy legiti matized." An extreme anti-socialist statement showing either the rankest kind of ignorance of tho socialist theory or the deepest malice towards the movement. Too ridicu lous for comment. Tho following one got tho prize: 0. "Socialism Is a combination of efforts and theories tending to estab lish legally among all mankind the greatest possible equality of wealth and misery." No one can truthfully say there Is any selfishness, envy, consideration in the plan of social ism. Read that last definition again. It is a good one and will answer most ordinary purposes, but there are others. Any one wishing to find out what socialism stands for should t;et tho National Platform or o to a socialist. Do not go to tho enemy and expect to get tho truth if he knows it you won't get-it. Our pub lic officers are generally supposed to be tho best Informed citizens on the subject of government and eco nomics, but there Is not one of them in ton who can speak or write ono hundred words on socialism without showing his Ignoranco of the subject. Socialism invites tho broadest kind of investigation and discussion, but would like to bo Investigated be fore it Is discussed. W. C. WEAWER. ! Mpxt GMkiBf mi A6wrttmttg j ; Ihj 10. d. Datiifl tnt Sticking to It No enterprise ever succeeded without making mistakes; those who fail, fail because tho same mlstako is frequently repeated. No man no business can succeed which does not learn from mistakes made once. I have often heard the expression: "Advertising does not pay; I havo tried it and I know." This Is no reason why advertising is a failure. Wo might as well say that it does not pay to send men out to sell goods because Jones, or Brown, or Smith failed at selling goods. If they havo failed, there Is a good, logical reason for It. They lacked some of the positive qualities, they possessed too many of the negative qualities. The same thing is truo of your advertising. It is not tho fault ot the business, nor is it tho fault of tho publisher; the fault lies at the door of the man behind the business or tho man behind tho advertisement. If you havo failed after one, or two, or threo attempts, look for the cause. Find out what is tho matter with your selling talk, analyze it as you analyze the goods. It Is wrong somewhere, and It Is only by analysis that you can make It right. Make a new start. Make new starts as often as It Is necessary to succeed. Always remember that if you fail today and note your mistakes there is a better chance to suc ceed tomorrow. There Is no disgrace In having failed, and there Is ,no excuse for not succeeding. A man who refuses to try again need never hope to succeed. If you have an article which the public uses, or should use, It Is just as practical for you to sell it by advertising as to hire a man to go out and sell It, or to go out and sell it yourself by Individual solicitation. In tho case of tho advertisement you always havo an audience; In personal sales manship you may waste hours and days to get that audience. Don't bo like the raven and croak, "nevermore." Do up and at it. HOW TO GET TRADE I5RIEE ANALYSIS OF TAX KMPTION AMENDMENT. EX. To the State Press Answering re quests for a concise statement, the Oregon Tax Reform association sub mits this analysis of tno tax exemp tion amendment. Its general aim is to release Industry and improve ments from the repressive pressure of taxation. First Exempts dwellings. Every new home strengthens our State. The present law encourages gambling In nomesltes until a good site costs as much as a comfortablo dwelling. This domand that the savings of years be given up for the mere chance to build necessitates postponement and con gests population. Second Real estate agents will find plenty to do bringing together the "land poor" man who finds with holding money from use unprofitable, with tho homeseeker who can and will gladly poy tho tax when the specula tive vaiuo has thus been squeezed from the purchase price, and the house he builds and everything In It will bo exempt. Third Exempts farm production and improvements. Tho farmer, In sisting on taxing everything, always pays taxes on everything of his own, while tho bulk of tho wealth drained from farms to cities eludes tho asses sor. Farm belongings aro not of tho nature to bo concealed. Constituting less than 25 per cent of tho popula tion, farmers have been paying more than GO per cent of tho State taxes, and tho Supremo Court has now abolished the customary $300 ex emption. Let farmers compare tho aFseisinent of vacant land alongside of them with that of tnelr Improved farms which mako that vacant land valuable. Compare taxes paid per acre by land grants with that of Im proved farms. But, while dwellings and farm improvements aro subject to taxes, farmers will pay, and rail roads and city franchises will not. Tho only way of farmers to have any thing exempt is to exempt it open and above board by law. Fourth Manufacturing exempt. Manufacturers everywhere agreo that manufacturing will bo stimulated, thus creating a homo market" for Oregon farmers not In Massachu setts, but In Oregon. Fifth Worklngmen's tools ex empt. Increased competition for workers in factory, farm and build ing trades will rovorso tho prosont ordor whore the only competition Is that of workers against each other for jobs. Sixth Benefits merchant, Vacant lots and land grants buy no dry goods and groceries. With raw ma- jterlal worked up at homo, freights I would bo saved; workers would havo Farmer Tells Merchant How to Im prove Advertising. As advertisers build up tho trade and trado makes the town, you should give your trade to those who advertise. Coos Bay ha3 uomo ex cellent advertisers. If tvo or throe' more branches of trado were as well represented in advertising as aro dry goods, clothing, drug and furniture Interests, an Increased trado would bo brought to Coos Bay. Prices talk, and when prices are left out a suspicion Is left with tho patron. There Is a grain of truth in tho fol lowing from a farmer which busi ness men should consider: '"If mall order houses gef $1,000 out of tho county each month that belongs to tho homo merchants, tho fault is with the merchants them selves. These houses advertise and give us prices on everything. They tell us what they have and what they want for it. Of course wo got soak ed once In awhile. Then wo can try some other house. Most of the merchants who advertlso don't quoto prices. They neglect to tell us what wo want to know tho prices. Of courso we can go to tho store and ask, but you all know how it Is one does not know so well what he wants to buy when ho gets into a store as when ho Is at home. And here is whero tho mall order houses mako their hit. They send their advertising matter Into our homes, and we read It when we haven't any thing else to read. "Right here Is whero tho homes merchants fall down. If they talked their business to us in our homes the same as tho mail order .houses do, the people would bo in to see them tho next time they camo to town nnd in many cases would make o;tra irlss ..o sue the things at onco that ti.ej dlc.n't know they wanted until mty were brought to their at tention. "Tho home merchant can savo tho expense of getting out a catalogue V o read the home paper moro care fully than wo do the catalogue, and If tlio homo merchants want to talk business with us let them put their talk into tho homo papers and put It in so that wo know they mean busi ness. Tho merchant likely nlno times out of ten sells his goods as cheaply as tho mall order' houses, and, believe, in many things thoy aro much cheaper, but how aro wo to know if ho does not toll us about It? "A merchant must not think that even his best customer knows his goods so well that ho can tell what ho wants without being shown. It is none of my business, but I don't like to see tho roasts in tho papers all tho tlmo about us fellows who get a littlo stuff shipped In onco In a whilo and never anything said on tho other side. Thcro aro always two sides to a question and I havo given you mine. If It is worth anything to you, you can take it." VESSELS ARRIVED AT AND SAILED FROM COOS RAY DUR ING THE .MONTH OF- .MARCH, 1008.
