SOCIALISM.
Those "who pay the piper have the right to call the tune. The real leaders and eru.plovers of the people have the right to say what kind of government they want. They can completely abolish any form of government that is not acting in the best interests of the country a<s a whole. A country has as ■much right to sack a Government ae an employer has to sack a drunken employee. All the tax-paying people of New Zealand are opposed to the political point of view- that 'a country should be levelled down." The political policy, "Buy votes and let the rich pay," was invented by tricky vote-eadgere. No one has ever dared to state it baldly. Tt has always been carried out under tlio guit?e of social reform or national welfare. But it has always meant levelling down, robbing the rich to pauperise the poor. Employers have only a few votes. Employees have thousands. That is why the rights of employers are not considered by Parliament. But employers should come first. The,welfare of everyone depends most of all upon the men who pay wages and salaries. This Government muet be sacked. ANTI-BOLSHL
