The Next constitutional Amendment

and every corporation, combination of
capital, private fortune. trust monopoly,
or power of money, over and above 81 900,
900, the surplus is forfeited TO the federal
government"
take the position that no body, private
or corporate, can honestly possess over
sl,OOO,oOO. At some time or other il was
obtained by fraud, injustice, OPPRESSION
then or dishonesty. Ifthis is true let the
people from whom II was taken and to
whom IL belongs repossess themselves of
IL again.
You say that is taking away liberty. l
say thieves have no claims on liberty
They should be in Jail. YOU say 1t would
paralyzo our large industries. II would
not, but would bring those lucrative ad-
vantages into circulation and give the pub
lie chance. You say, how would our
large trunk lines be operated? Ifit is for
the public good to have them 1t is also
for their good to own them
You say this amendment will never he
adopted, as the government is controlled
by milliopaircs, and they will not permit
| its adoption.
Then we have a monarchy, indeed. So
much the more necessary is II To arouse
ourselves and assert the power of the poo-
pie. Trusts and monopolies are not pri-
Nato affairs if they menace tho liberties of
the people and the powers of the govern
ment. Then il Is time for revolution, and
