Ownership" respected not human being could live
in the state at all but by that mans permission and
upon his terms Not solitary mortal could employ him
SELF but every nhabitant must seek employment from that
who owned everything upon which productive Ia
Dor must be bestowed And if he should have employ
ment for than half the people, what would become Of
the other half if there should be no place else for them
goY Would not the entire people compete nay fight with
each other for the blessed privilege of serving the Of
the state in order that they might be enabled to ye And
would not those fortunate enough to employment be
submissive to their masters will because camOr
of the unemployed to be allowed to workp Suppose this
should not all the and-as yet, but large
number of husbandmen still owned their farms, and that
in addition to owning everything ese this monopost

needfu thing not found their FARMS without coming to
this universal owner buy of him they have money
credit and these must be had of him. for he would
troll them tOO they must ship grain to market his
railroads. his rates. and then find the prices fixed by him

large number of the suffering people can be hired as

Then as each new machine is invented this dominating
class that too and, compelling some to drudge

people who have of living but their wages and
turn them out to become tramps fill penitentaes and die
