I have for some time been looking for something definite on this subject, and at last hit upon it in “ Cycle and Automobole Trade Journal ”, for June, 1903, On page 58 we are given an ac- count of one large factory that com- pletcs twenty automobiles per day and employs 282 men. To one who does not know how to read these figures they have but little meaning; but when close- ly examined. they signify far more than their author intended. By ,a simple process of calculation they tell us that the human labor expended on a finished and tested machine at their factory is the equivalent of 14 days for one man. But the automobile is not all made in this factory. The engine and running gear are made elsewhere. The smaller parts,.however, are all made here and constructed by machinery. “the best and most. thoroughly up-to-date that human skill has produced.” And here also all assembling and testing are‘done. Now, let us be liberal and assume that the work done on these machines outside this factory is one and one-half times the work done in the factoryâ€"â€" that is. the work done in getting and preparing all “ raw material” for this factoryâ€"and even then we have 35 days as the sum total of all human labor that in any way enters into the construction of one of these machines that sells for from $750 to $1 500. Count wages at. $4.00 per day (and they will not aver- rge that by considerable) and labdr gets $140 for doing every particle of-worlc that is in any way necessary to produce Ihe automobile. This is, of course, the maximum labor cost, for we have over eelimated the days of labor and the wages. But let it be so, for even then the lesson taught is of sufficient signifi- cance for the purpose in hand. "The question is : When you buy one of these machines, for what do you pay? You pay. say, 3140 for labor and from $600 to $1200 for what ?‘ To feed par- asites. That is, to support a train of rent. collectors, profit grabbers, sales- menLWholesalers, jobbcrs, retailers and advertisers, 95 of whom organization, system. co-opcr‘ation, such as must char- acterisc a cooperative commonwealth, would dispense with. Yes, you pay it to sustain these useless. wasteful factors that constitute by far the major part 01' all expenses under capitalism. You pay it and call it business. because you don’t know any better. You never think ofthis as a political matterâ€"as a con~ dition to be abolished at the ballot box. Yes, you pay for this vast system of' uselessness, and spend your surplus on- orgies in shouting for capitalist parties and in denunciation of' tax rates. You neverthlnk of this extra payment for thi: machine in its true light, as an in- direct tax; and yet that is just what. it is. And use. tax it is so far in excess of the one you so strenuouslydenounco, that-it yonshould pausenud think long enough to discern its real significance, you would blush for-_ shame that you had so long been bunCocd‘.‘ ' ’ ‘ And when you have paid this tax, duys’ labor can construct? No, not by existingr patent rights this factory is what. do you get? »'l‘he best that 35 .' far. You may get the'best that under permitted to build; but'not the best that could he built. The builders could doubtless suggest changes that What the Socialist demands is an in- dustriul system that is worthy to be called a system; not the anarchinl con- glomeralion that now, constitutes everyâ€" thing called-an industry. a system that eliminates those vast waste elements now supported by an in- calculnbly grcat‘indire‘ct tax; a system that convertsthis army of parasites in- . to an army of producers and render; to a each the equivalent of his labor product. ' Under such a system one would not the automobile for as many days’ labor as are socially necessary to produ-cfit- certainly for less doys’ ' labor than are ngw required for colon of the masses to earn the price of one of these muâ€" chines.

Gold Mining Under Socialism; r __.â€"â€" If I find a gold mine I think Iam entitled to the output, after paying 33 59 a day for labor. If not. what object'would there be to prospect year after year to develop the country ? If not, would not the mining industry be a thing of the past ?â€"-D. W. M., Silver- City, Idaho.~ Let’s sce. Why do you put 33 50‘ as the exact sum that would entitle you to the products of the mine ? Why not. $2 or even $1 a day? And why-not $5 or $10 a day? By what exact-cal- culation do you arrive at that particu- lar figure ? When you have solved that problem of your own raising, wouldn’t it be well to consider whether you have the country” or to get rich, yourself? Had you been rich, would you have spent the hard years of life as you have? What would you care about the “de- velopment of the country”? Under Socialism, if society needs hold (it will not need any for money) it will direct the department of mining to .find'and. mine it, just as it will direct theagrir cultural department to raisew-heat‘and mill it, because the people want bread. Under such conditions there would be mining, just as there would be agricul- ture or fruit growing er mechanicsâ€" because the people would need things. and would take the easiest way of get- ting them. Besides, you would: not need to prospect year after year, snfi‘crw ing all kinds of hardships. Society can afford to follow its workers with every advantage of civilization. Society would? provide each worker with all the good thingsiof life; hence there would be no - desire on the part of anyloienslove one’s fellows for the purpose of getting these good I things. .They can be had without any enslnvcment. "l‘here are untold millions of days’llaborwasted in .y the mining industry, that properly or- ganizzd society could save. TheSc days, put into productivelabor in more useful fields, would enrich the earth by a good, deal that is now lost to. all. 4Appeal to 7 Reason. to. It Was True.

It there is anything the‘ rich do not want, it is an honest college professor. But the rich will find it just as impossible to deceive the students about the rob- bery system, that prevails here as they do in Russia. The rich would like to Russianizc this country, but they will not fully succeed, though they have made considerable progress in that direc. tion The other college professorsthiulc that by condemning Small they will get some of the blood money from the rich' to support their institutions, or will get placos‘in the college in Chicago which hasibecn givenâ€"at the cost of so many huninn lives and so' much miseryâ€"by the'Stnndard Oil Company to misedu- cate the people.
