There’s another funny thing, too!
When the Tulsa World talks about
that board of commissioners down
there, it sounds ju3t like the Spasm
talking about our city council. We
wonder if the World didn’t get the
city printing either.
Moral: It all depends.
Every time the Spasm has fits
good and hard, Daddy Crosby has an
inspiration. His latest is below:

THE HAGUE.—(By mail.)—The
■peech from the throne at the open-
ing of parliament not only pledged
the extension of suffrage to the large
classes of the population hitherto ex-
cluded, and to women, with oertain
ide exceptions, but it also promised
nearly all the legislation demanded
by the Socialists, and without the
pledging of which the Socialists had
determined to overthrow any cabi-
net. ,
Among the things promised are
pensions to all persons over 70 years
of age who are not receiving relief
from any charity organization. The
insurance of the sick will he extend-
ed, and free medical service will be
given to those insured.
The tariff is to be reduced and an
income tax impose'1.
The last vestiges of the "corvee,”
or forced labor, are to be abolished
in Java and Sumatra. Education is
to be furnished to the natives and
greater care to be given to the needs
of the native population. There is

federation which is preparing to un-
dertake such an inquiry.
"At the last presidential election,”
says the report, "nearly 1,000,000
votes were cast in favor of an eco-
nomic programme calling for a revo-
lutionary transformation of society.
The party supporting this program
proposes the abolition of our present
system of wages and private proper-
ty and the substitution therefore of
government ownership and operation
of all the instruments of production,
distribution and exchange.
“Recently an element within the
revolutionary movement referred to
has confronted this country with a
yet more radical proposal. This ele-
ment avowedly aims at the commun-
istic operation of industries, which
are to be confiscated through the
general strike and then directly
operated by the workers themselves."

We are living under a system of
government which is known as a po-
litical organization, and it is called a
democracy, or rule of all the people.
This system is expressed by and
through one of the organizations,
which is given the reins of power by
a part of the voters every four years.
However, on account of the grant-
ing of special privileges and exemp-
tions to corporations and individuals
by the organization which is given
control of the government by a plu-
rality of the voters, our system of
government is proven to be democrat-
ic in name only,
A perfect democracy is an organi-
zation of all the people.
A perfect democracy would distrib-
ute equally to every man, woman and
child every benefit that the govern1
meat could bestow.
Under a system of perfect democ-
racy, specal privileges and unequal
exemptions would be abolished and
every man, woman and child would
share equitably all the benefits of
modern civilization.
