l lp tlJON lilt lIull Ol HIS ldDOIs JuSl laws which hold each and every mar accountable to the law and to do his | share towards the support of public works and charities.
 The Labor Socialists are opposed and their measures are right now be- ing pressed with great strength to make them into laws.
 The intent underlying each one of them is to directly. or in a round = about way. take money and property from the Home Owners"
 Now let's have a look. and in con- sidering each bill or act. keep in mind the underlying plan.
 Extract from the thrifty and home owning people at least a part of their savings. to be divided among the un- thrifty LabOr-Socialists.'
 You may have to search step by step through the apparently harmless part of these proposed laws, but care fully follow the steps and it will be seen that the final end and aim is to take money away from the House Owning. thrifty class" and give it to the unthrifty class"
 Let's first consider the Employers Liability movement. They have adroitly sought to have it apply first to Railways for it is now popular to attack them. Any employee hurt. even by his own negligence. is to be paid a sum to be extracted from the stock holders. There are over 77.OO0 stock holders in one American Ky. Many are widows and in some cases their
  vested thus, is the main source of their bread and butter. But a part at least is to be taken from them to be given to the unfortunate .'Unthrifty."
 That would be benevolence if it was not a legal robbery Of some to make gifts to others.
 Then it is the plan to extend this forced benevolence to the individual employer. just as the Labor Socialists have succeeded in doing in England IL is an active working law there now in operation under which. if for in stance, a house servant has an aCci- dent no matter whether about the house or elsewhere and becomes dis abled. the employers property is held to pay one pound (about s5.OO) a week
  want.
 Thus in few years with bad run of luck" the home-owner might have saddled on him half dozen such pen sioners and his property held to pay perhaps S25OO to $50.OO a week.
 Do you see how adroitly this extracts money from the thrifty?
 We will all admit that the injured should have help; that is human be- nevolence. Every permanently injured poor man should have d public home to live in free all the balance of his days; he has, we will say, done his share of the work of the world and is entitled to it's care. This law should provide that he had, during his well days. contributed his share, small or great. towards the support of such homes. That is the German law. In other words. every man, Labor Social ists and Home-O owner should contrib ute for this pension.
 But the Labor Socialist plans to take only the money of one class, the thrifty, and give it to the unthrifty.
 That would be a fine levied upon the man for being thrifty and offer a re- ward of immunity to the man who would drink up" his extra money. It says, don't own q home or you will become a member of class which we propose to milk"
 Later on we are to have "Old Age Pensions" for every man when he reaches say SO years.
 That law is under consideration in ;g for it would remove that awful ghost of fear which haunts most people. Every man should pay a small tax towards this desirable benevolence. But notice, when the Labor Socialist leaders in England were asked if the members of their class would contri- bute. the answer was, Not one farth- ing"
 They propose to secure the entire sum from the Home owner Glass"
 Back again to their principle, you see.
 It seems benevolent to vote large sums for public work for the ''unem- ployed." That class is made up large ly of Labor Socialists and incapable, botch workmen. The worthy work men are seldom unemployed" Many of these unemployed" are the noisy chaps who called strikes during tlIe prosperous years. They wouldn't work themselves and kept thousands of good men from work.
 They boycotted factories and de- stroyed business. compelling other workmen to lie idle.
 They stopped the loading and un-
