Unjust Laws OF Taxation and OF
Money Kill Civilization.

The civilizations that have died were
not killed by private ownership of the
soil. No, a thousand times, no. The
civilizations with whose wrecks the
shores of time are strewn, owed their
destruction to misgovernment Vicious
men made vicious laws, and vicious rulers
enforced them. Excessive taxation i'm.
posed burdens which crushed the victims
Privileged orders exploited nou-priv-
ileged masses. The aristocratic few
lived riotously at the expense of the
democratic many. The money of the
nation was concentrated in the hands of
the dominant class The many had to
pay ungodly prices for the use of this
money. Usury is vnlture which has
gorged itself upon the vitals of nations
since the dawn of time.
"Great estates were the ruin of Italy, {"
says the historian; but what created the
great estates1 Before few could buy
up all the land there must have been
some great cause at work, some advan-
tage which the few held at the expense
of the many. What was that advan-
tnge? Dig down to that and you will
then have the true cause OF the ruin of
Italy.
Consult the books, and you will find
that the ruling class at Rome had con-
centrated in their own hands all the tire.
mendous powers of State. They fixed
the taxes, paid little and spent all. They
controlled the money, and the noble

interest!
Give to any ruling class the power to
levy and spend the taxes, give that class
the legal right to enrich itself at the
expense of the othefs, give that class the
power to dictate the price at which the
masses shall have the use of money, and
it is goodbye long farewell-to the
prosperity of that people.
1t is infinitely easier to ensiave people
tuiouSu INC uuiSuoC Vi Tue powers OF
government than through the laws of
property. The power to tax is the power
to confscate. Give that power to one
class, and what more does it want? The
only limit to the extent to which the
victims can be robbed is the limit of their
capacity to pay. Add to this the control
of the currency system, the life-blood OF
the nation, and you need nothing more.
You can absolutely PROSTATE any people
on earth by the misuse of these two
powers. No matter how much land yon
give the Russian peasant. or any other
peasant, it will do him no permanen,
good as long as his rulers can so fix the
laws of taxation and of money as to rob
him of his produce as fast as he makes it
