Questions and Answers.

Give the people the right to make
their own laws and they will need no
party to prepare platform for them.
New Era.
! thought they now have this right.
What power on earth is higher than
the people?-Industria Freedom.
Why that is an easy one. Under our
present system of government the
rulers, whom the people elect, have
the only power to make laws, and
any little one-horse legislature is a
power a long way higher than the
people. New Era
True, very true and pity is, it's
true The people are the source of all
power, but custom and respect for
constituted authority is robbing the
people.

Feels Like Coming Back.

Friends and Comrades at Equality: just
received Industrial Freedom, and imagine NV
surprise when read that piece written by
Sarah Ward Temple, and sanctioned by Ii ex-
memters of Equality. | felt like throwing
up my job and going back to Equality to help
you along. When people pretending to be
socialists will write such internal lies about
the people of Equality, it is high time that
others that are on the outside should take it
up and Yive them such roasting as they
never heard of. Yes, bury them forever.
How wish could write piece fit for pub

How ludicrous the cry down with
trusts" When did legislative enact
ment reverse the operation of natural
law? Have not legislative bodies at
tempted the impossible often enough
to satisfy the credulous? Parliament
declared limit to the growth of Lon
don, but London grew beyond such
boundary with annoying disregard
to the man made law.
After the Black Plague of 134S the
English Parliament passed the noted
Statute of Laborers" in which it was
intended to fix wages, but wages
were fixed without regard to this
Statute and so it has been in almost
countless cases in both ancient and
modern times.
Trusts are the answer to a demand
for great economy in production and
exchange and so long as this demand
lasts we shall have trusts or else their
natural successors, a yet greater con-
centration of power.
The formation of trusts is natural
process, an evolutionary growth and
can never be made to yield to legal
enactment.
1t were well to heed this truth.

cant they be SO forced in any state in

Reader, do you belive that funda-

believe that such wrongs do exist, and
most people are searching a remedy.
What are you doing to solve or to
help solve these troublesome prob

We are striving to aid in a search
for the truth, for the truth must be
known and justice must be done. In
this effort we need your assistance
and we here now solicit such assist
ance. Can't you well oford to send

Don't forget that every dollar over
and above bare maintenance of the

The ease with which the mails may

AS these Incidents pass in review
before the minds of the Equality peo-
pie they have resolved to endeavor to
put themselves in closer touch with the

that the modern plan of travelling from
place to place in wagons would best
enable us to reach all classes of people
with books and pamphlets and papers,
and enable us to carry the message by
word of mouth to hungry thousands,
we have resolved to ask our readers
and friends for counsel and advice,
and in the event that this plan meets
with their approval, we ask for aid
to secure teams and wagons.

out only one wagon thoroughly

all of which would be reported in In

who may desire to aid in similar
work After few months experience
we might desire to put other wagons
in the field if results seem to Justify
the added expense.
What do our comrades and friends
say to this proposition?
Is it feasible and will you help us?
We feel that it is necessary to take
immediate steps for more aggressive
agitation.

Others who have given the wagon plan
