Some people who have
thoughtfully considered the subject
say that the public ownership and
operation of the industries, with the
consequent ‘increase in public officials
and pubile business, will lead to an

never
| increase in political corruption. And
ithey say we ‘have enough mow.
Indeed. it is true that we have
enough now.
We have entirely too much. i
Socialism proposes to abolish po- |
| litical corruption.
How?
| What is its cause?
|
The private ownership of the in- |
{ dustries,
{ other words, capitalism is the
| canse of political corruption.
| Capitalism is also the cause of
| private corruption. the cheating, ly-
in
|ing, stealing, adulterating, grafting,
etc., now going 0 nin private busi-
ness.
if Socialism merely transferred the
{ corruption mow going on in private
business to the public business the
| total sum of corruption would not be
increased. We would be as well off
in that respect as we are now.
But we do not fmtend to do that.
We intend to abolish political cor-
ruption.
What is it that cases a legislator
to take a (bribe?
The private business interests of
| those who bribe him. I; is to their
financial interest to bribe him.
Socialikm will make those ‘business
interests public. It wil] thus remove
the incentive to bribe him. Nobody
would gain anything by doing so.
Who is it that corrupts the alder-
jmen of the cities and towns?
The corporations which own the
water works, the street railways, the
gas works, the electric light plants,
{the telephone systems, the fire hose
manufacturers, the brick plants, the
lasphalt plants, and other industries
which supply cities with the things
they need.
| Socdikalism will collectively own and
operate aly ,of these enterprises. The
Peause otsehis corruption will thus be
| removed.

Socialism will make these conpora-
tions and trusts public property and
thereby remove the cause of this cor-
ruption.
What was the cause of the scandal
in the post-office department at
Washington some years ago?
Private ownership of the indus-
In other ‘words. capitalism.
What were the wcorruptionists in
the post-office department charged
whith?
They were charged with taking
bribes from private corporations in
consideration of using their influence
to get the post-office departmen; to
let contracts to those private corpor-
ations for the manufacture of var-
| ious articles used in the post-office
tries.
If the public had owned those
plants and manufactured those arti-
icles itself, instead of letting con-
| racts to private corporations for
{ them, there would not have been any
|oppertunity for that corruption to
{oceur.
That is perfectly plain.
That corruption was due to the
| private ownership of the plants which
produced those articles.
Yes, but if thé public did own
| those manufacturing plants it would
still have to buy, from other private
corporations, material of various
kinds for mse in those plants, and
thug the door would be opened to
corruptflon again in the letting of
contracts to those other private cor-
porations.
True.
And the remedy fer that is the
public ownership and operation of
those other industries.
The remedy for that is the public
ownership and operation’ of those
other industries.
The remedy for the evils of public
ownership is more public ownership.
Extend the circle of public owner-
ship to the point where all the in-
dustries are made public, so that
there are no longer any contracts to
be let to private plants, and yom
have completely shut out the oppor-
tunity for such corruption.
Sodialism will also introduce the
initiative and referendum, so hat city
councils, legislatures and congresses
will not have the power to pass im-
portant laws witout submitting
them to popular vote, if the people
so desire. likewise the recall, which
will enable the people to discharge
any official a; amy time when they
distrust him, instead of letting him
fill out his term as they have to do
at present.
Socialism will also make all men
so vitally and personally interested
in public affairs that the good men
will keep the rascals out of impor-
tant positions. Hundreds of thous-

In view of al] these altered circum-

[ism will immediately mupon its intro-

corruption.
And in the course of a few years,
as soon as the new environment has
(had time to eliminate by degrees the
grafting propensity which has heen
so highly developed by capitalism,
Socialism will abolish political cor-
ruption altogether.

an industrial survey of New

ing that a chief cause of industrial

feeling that the large employing cor-

to the estimates of the Treasury De-
partment.
Perhaps Mr. McAdoo fears that the

(By C. M. Thompson.)
“Co-operative societies and associ-
ations, which in many respects have
proven superior, from the standpoint
>f economy, to private ownership are
now giving way to public ownership.
This is necessary because small co-
operatives cannot succeed in compe-
tition with powerful conporations.
For several years the co-operative
creamery in Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin was pz suceess. The corporation
centralizer is putting them out of
business—just like the large meat
packers put the little packers out of
business.
“In other words co-operation must
and is undergoing a period of evolu-
tion—passing from the small co-op-
erative effort to the larger co-opera-
tion wherein the state co-operates
with the people.
“The small co-operative can no
more compete with the powerful cor-
poration than the small individual
can.
“The small co-operative society in
the miidst of the gigantic corporatioms
is like stopping the spigot and leav-
ing the bunghole open.
“The idea of co-operation in the
Northwest started among the farmers
and at first conceived only co-opera-
tive local grain elevators. The grain
combine simply smiled and headed
them off at the terminal. Then the |
farmers built a co-operative terminal |
at St. Paul. Then the combine |
grinned and headed them off at the
grain exchange. The farmers then
established a co-operative grain ex-
change—and were met with the blud-
geon at the mills. The little ideal |
which first demanded a local elevator |
evolved now to a demand for |
state-owned terminals, storage plants,
warehouses and mills.
