You don't believe the Labor-Social- lst class are really trying to take away the savings and property of the thrifty, HomeOwning class" do you?
 Probably there will be loud chor- us of walls and entreaty when the new laws go into effect and the Home Owners wake up to find themselves bound hand and foot and trimmed of their savings and prop erty by the deft hand of the Labor Socialist class and according to laws passed while the Homc- Owners slept, and which the courts must cx- ecute.
 Impossible you say. but the game IS on and the Labor Socialists are right now actively at work before Congress and the various State Legis- latures, and will establish these laws quickly unless stopped
 Their plan Is based on one principle

 Take money away from the man who has 1t.
 Give it to the man who hasn't. But this must be done cunningly and by passing some shrewdly drawn laws which hide the real meaning
 The Labor Socialists are working hard to frighten and force public men 10 pass at least a dozen bills. each of which has, away down at the bottom. plan to take away a part or all of the thrifty mans savings and give them to the unthrifty.
 They will surely succeed unless the homo owners" wake up and protest ! in numbers enough to win

 Some will only wake up when, un- | der the new laws, of the 1.ahor-Soc- | ialists succeed in having the bills passed) they find their property and savings ooze away and the courts powerless to prevent. | This Is contest between the un- thrifty class trying to wrest money property and power from the Home owning class
