PARABLE OF THE MOOLEY STEER
Editor Independent: Many years
ago on the old farm we boys had the
care of the cattle.
There was mooley steer in the
herd which was driven about by the
other cattle and deprived OF his rights
In manner that shocked our boyish
sense Of justice.
The other cattle took delight in
driving him away and appropriating
his share of food. We set our wits to
work to overcome the evil.
Lying up In the barn loft was a
huge pair of horns taken from Texas
steer. We took that pair OF horns
and strapped them securely on
mooley's head.
Next morning when the fodder was
scattered out over the yard and the
cattle were let out to feed. the young
bloods that had been In the habit OF
pl,lnging at mooley on sight, seeing
the immense horns, SHE'D OF and gave
him plenty of room.
He was allowed to enjoy his break
fast in peace. Alas! Our plan was
failure. for there was one fellow who
was Drawer or more shrewd and
seemed to see through the fraud. he
started for mooley with a snort and
gored him numerically. Aiming
against oppression does not always
make for peace. We now knew that
radical measures we're necessary.
We caught up the belligerents and
dehorned them. Equality OF oppor-
tunity thus secured we had peace IN
our barnyard ever after
The great body Of labor may be Tx
ened unto our mooley
The politicians, labor leaders and
smart alecs are tying horns on 'em.
Labels, boycotts, strikes, closed shops.
Dehorning the land monopolist by the
single tax will give equality OF OPP
portunity, guaranteeing to labor its
full product, thus securing peace IN
our social organism.
