Municipal ownership Mr.. Lawson dis
tinued:
THE surest safest and most natural
process of restitution j. the application
OF the system s own methods to the
system The first step Is for the Amer
lcan people 10 divorce themselves from
the system and sell every share Of stock
and every bond they hold back to the
frenzied fin4nciers at present inflated
prices. Take tho money thus rea lied
and place il in banks and trust com
panies, or, better still, in government,
state ana municipal bonds
This. Mr.. Lawson said. would cause A
collapse of the system which would be
obliged 10 throw over the stocks and
bonds IL carried These stocks and bonds
the people could purchase. and ha VinE
only to pay interest on their real values
could reduce rates of fare AMI freight
and prices generally and the revolution
would then be completes.
