V. C. 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.

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."
