Trapezoid Deal .

This is free country. just
little too free. We might cut off
little freedom and be great deal
better off. There are free seeds,
free passes, free postage and every
thing that is free to few persons,
which everybody else has to pay
for. All these free things make
heavier burdens for other people.
This kind of freedom is species
of oppression
What ls peculiar about the mat.
ter is all this freedom is for the
fellow who doesn't need it Take
free seeds. The poor man, who
could make g ood use of them, sell
dom gets seed. The man who
can buy his own seeds and turn a
few votes is usually the happy re-
oipient He seldom cares for the
freedom 1t is simply rosemary
which is for remem braace.
So with the free passes tho
poor fellow who hasn't cent 10
pay railroad fare gets no ticket.
Of course not 1t is the man in
clover, who has bank account and
who can use little freedom in his
business. l he would only pay his
own way, as other people do, every
body would travel cheaper.
Same as to free postage, or the
frank. There is talk about cent
postage. But it is all talk, and will
be as long as great many people
with big salaries can use the mails
for nothing. This manner of liber-
ty may be called privilege or the
trapezoid deal.-Ohio State Jour
