A NAN Cnre Fnr Povnrtv.

In bis treatment Of the cause and
cure Of poverty Mr.. James Mackaye.
writing In the New York Independent,
advances nothing really new as to the
cause or causes Of poverty, but a rad
ically new proposition for Its cure.
The question as to the cause Of power
" he answers by announcing the
cause or causes OF prosperity. Pros
perlty consists primarily. according to
this Investigator, In given communl-
~ having enough of all the necessaries
Of life or power of purchase, which
amounts to the same thing, to so
around and an equal distribution of
the same. third and an imperative
requirement Ii simplicity of tastes and
needs. so that the actual production of
wealth IL sufficient to satisfy them.
All of the foregoing has been thrash
cd out before by social economists OF
many lands and at different stages.
The question IL how to do the trick.
MIR. Mackaye would have all the pro
ductive industries under government
control and management. rewarding
everybody. both managers and opera
tlves, on the basis OF the output pro.
duced. good days work would re-
suit In shortened working day or
a cheapened product, which would
amount to the same thing as an In
crease of wages. OF course the peo-
pie would have to be educated up-or
down-to this Ideal, and the govern
ment would have TO bear the burden
OF this education, Somehow the bed.
rock Of simple life for all Is the key
to this whole reform Preachers have
hammered away ON that from Plato TO
ben Franklin and from Franklin to
Charles Wagner Plato said that the
only sure way to be happy Ia to limit
our desires and keep on limiting
them, Every family at least and
about every household has soms moni-
tor always ready with advice 10 others
how 10 live on less than they earn and
put money by" The preachment
usually ends something like this: 81
never could. but you can" II In a
hard lesson. Perhaps some progressive
state will work out Mr.. Mackaye's
theory. which the editor of the hide
pendent declares IL nothing lees than
q great invention" and convince the
world that the problem of the ages
has been solved.
