BIO onstorh daily newspaper says: "Socialism is at the core of the
A trouble at Calumet." This may 1) true, but if so why is there? The
big copper company which, gotting mineral lands that at one time, bo
fTa longed to the whole, pooplo, has from them taken not one but hundreds
of big fortunes, sets itself up as a dictator to the balance of humanity,
and through its president snys: "Wator will flow out of tlio shafts of tho
Calumet and llecla beforo it will deal with the Western Federation of
Miners."
What the president and tho company he ropresentB mean is that it will
not recognize union lobor in any form. The company is a union of dollars
whilo tho federation is a union of men. By what rule Is a union of dollars
right and a uuion of mon wrongt Why is a dollar to have privileges denied
to menf
If there is sociinllsm at the core of tlio movement on the part of tho men,
thore is also something present on tho part of tho dollars, and that is big,
fat, unholy, pampered Greed. If those is socialism present at Calumet, the
employers, not tho laborers Imported it. And by the way what is socialism f
For years it has been a great mystorious bug a-boo, a fabulous monster
that would dovour all it came In contact with, and as such it was used to
frighten politicians and weak-kneed employers. That day has passed and the
masses havo discovered that it, liko tho old names republican and democrat,
"standB for nothing unless it stands for something."
It is ono of the tricks of Fate that made tho employers who so mnt
against socialism, its greatest promulgators. They, not tho laborers hnve
inculcated tho principals of socialism into modern affairs. They, by their ex
ample, have shown labor the absoluto necessity of combining.
It is another of tho amusing tricks of fcito that it has blinded tho money
kings as to their own position, and forbidden them knowledge of the results
of thoir own acts. They have united for mutual benefit, and to that extent
are rank socialists. Tho troublo with their socialism is that it ftops too soon
It does not go beyond the point whoro tlnir own interests censo. They how
ever h.ivo shown the way, and havingfouml it those whom they havo shown
will not forget tho road.
Call It socialism, cr what you will tlio principle that tho good of tho wohle
people is tho affair of tho whole people, is recognized ns correct, and that
principle will bo enforced in dealing with groat companies like that at Calum
et, Just such actions as those of tho company named will ero long eompol
tho tnklng over by the general government of such properties as the Calumet
and Hecla, or the fixing of prices for tho products of the mines and at the
siime time establishing a minimum wngo. Tho companies will kick but they
will not, liko Jeshuron of biblical fame, wnx fat on it.
The companies havo enid: "There shall be a limit to the amount a laborer
shall receive." The peoplo will say in the near future: "Thero shall bo a
limit to the amount tho dollar sholl earn in public utilities and from tho mines
and water powers, and oilier natural forces an, products of tho earth." It
will say that "no man shall tako unholy toll from his fellow man bv cornering
some product or capturing some natural resource. "
This may bo called socialism or it may be called something else, but what
ever its name, it will effectually curb the activities of corporate wealth, nnd
apply to it tho samo ruin it now applies labor, and tlint is "Thus fnr shnlt
thou go but no farther,"
CONCERNING LAW
. HIM? tho movement for tho enforcement of the laws against vico is
W
on, it is wen to also pay some attention to the matter of tho enforce
ment of other laws. taws wore made to bo enforced, and if they
nro bad, or for any reason undesired, the best way to got them
amended or repealed is to enforce them. In this connection wo give
herewith soctiou 2043 of tho Oregon criminal code which under the titlo of
"Crimes Against Public Justice," nnd concerning malfeasance or nou feas
ance in office, is as follows:
If any officer of this stat4 or county, town, or other municipal or public
orHration therein, other than the governor, justices of the supremo court, or
members of tho legislature slmll willfully and knowingly charge, take, or
receive any foe or compensation other than that authorized or permitted by
law for any official service or duty performed by such officer or shall will
fully neglect or refuse to perform such duty or servico to tho injury of anyono
or the manifest hindrance or obstruction of public, justice or business, whether
such injury, hiudrance or obstruction was particularly Intended or not, such
officer upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in tho
county jail not less tliau three months nor more than one year, or by fine of
not loss than ."0 nor more than fiOO, or by dismissal from office with or with
out either of such punishments."
It will be, seen from this that tho officer who takes it upon himself to say
what laws he shall entorce and what not, is taking a good many chances of
getting into trouble. The State Railroad commission might do'ltself a good
turn by taking a thought or two on this subject. It may think it has a right
to pigeon holo matters brought before it, hut it is mistaken. When a matter
is left in its hands that for months it deliberately neglects, and makes no ef
fort to do anything with, it Is taking chances on getting into trouble. Tho
commission has some very large men in it, but none of them, nor for that
matter all of them together, arc larger than tho state of Oregon, nor are they
above the reach of the Inw.
There ar others beiades tho railroad coimuUsiou that are Ignoring the laws
and their attention is called with due respect to the &iot.
The governor's selection for district attorney for Clatsop county does
not seem to liav been a wise one. The r ppointment had scarcely been made
when charges in connection with the dttenso of Oswald Hansen, who ki 'ed
Judgo Taylor, were made against him. which if true should disbar him, an.)
now comes the statement that tho indictments against those charged with
violating tho laws concerning houses of prostitution, were nearly all dismissed

would' have done good if Hawley had only thought of it beforo the railroads

area. It is some years too lute, but it listens good" which is all it was in
tended to do.
COOPER WILL DISPOSE
OF HIS STOCK SOON BS
J. A. Cooper, who is conceded to le
out of Marion's county's lending thor
oughbred stock raisers and diversifica
tion farmers, is now planning to hold
one of the greatest siock sales ever
taking place in this district. After
spending over three years in the work
of collecting thoroughbred cattle, hogs,
sho'p, goats, chickens and horses, and
after devoting almost his entire time to
the work of extending his great stock
farm, loeuted one mile west of tho Kai
ser school house, 11 r. Cooper is now fig
uring upon selling out every head of
fino stock and clearing his 1!)0 acres
of rich land of all fanning implements,
outhouses, etc, and placing thereon in
tend, a monster hop field.
Despite the fact that Mr. Cooper has
been more than successful in raising
and bnyi.ig stock and that he has set
an example among tho Marion county
stockmen when it came to handling
highbred animals of tho farm, ho has
suddenly been convinced that tho King
of Oregon's produce, hops, will give
him better returns and he will proceed
to cover his model farm with the "beer
berries. ' '
Farmers Interested.
The sale which Mr. Cooper is going
to hold will undoubtedly be the largest
and most varied than any which has
ever been arranged in this section of
tho country. He now has on hand 170
hcful of hogs most of them thorough
breds SO bend of other stock consist
ing mostly of horses, cattle and sheep,
and several thousand dollars worth ot
modern machinery.
In view of the fact that the stock
raising occupation in Marion county
has become so extensive during the
ast few years, farmers are highly in
terested in Mr. Cooper's sale and, ac
cording to the inquirires being received
by tho noted stockman, there will be a
big crowd in attendance.
A group of farmers congregated at
the corner of State and Commercial
streets yesterday, while talking of the
coming sale, mftdo arrangements to at
tend the event in a body and buy up
some good breeding nuimals of all
classes. For the reason Mr. Cooper has
been an ardent admirer of highbred
stock at tho state fairs heretofore and
that he is possessed with more thnn
iisuul knowledge of fine stock, he has
succeeded in accumulating several hun
dred head of blue blooded stock. Ho
will give all the Marion county far
mers an opportunity to stock up with
rood breeding animals and his invest
ments made after miles of traveling
throughout almost every county in the
state in search of the farm beasts will
be turned over to the highest bidder
irrespective of tho amount bid.
The sale will take place Thursday
January 22, at the Cooper farm four
miles north of this city and just one
mile west of the Kaiser school house.
