LeBus and selling him by the coat
said "LeBus, tell me. can we get
any tobacco?"
"Of course you can" he replied
we have saved IL for you" But
the Independents are uneasy In
the first place they are worried rela-
tive To the amount left in the pool
and In the second place they are
alarmed over the prices that may
govern. However. II is said, the
growers will sell TO the independents
at the same price they sold to the
American Tobacco Co. though they
do not know whether the tobacco
remaining In the 1906 and 1907
pools and the shotgun crop" OF 1908
will be enough to supply their wants.
Some estimate all OF the hurley to-
bacco remaining at 100000 or
80, 100000 pounds. but inasmuch as
the 1908 crop Is outside the pool the
independents will have TO bid for II
on the breaks against the American
Tobacco Company.
The Independents declare that the
American Company wanted all the
tobacco In the pool and wanted TO
swallow the whole amount at one

few crumbs are left.
However. II is safe to say that

COMMON OWNERSHIP.

1T has actually become popular
to do right. and unpopular to do
wrong In business. This new ethic
has so deep-seated and well-ground-
ed a position in the common mind
that the wise business men take II
into consideration already. Twenty
years from now the greatest deal In
any business will be the ideal. The
best guarantee for peace and safety
in the future years is the peopleizing
and mutualizing OF our great corpor-
ations. In my opinion common own
ership, representative management,
making character the basis of mem
bership and ability the test-of posi-
ton, which will insure to capital a
fair return, and labor it's due re-
ward expresses in a few words q
plan which when II comes to it's full
fruition will entirely reform the
modern tendency 10 Capitalization
and manipulation.
"Two-thirds OF the business of
England is done by cooperation and
societies-both production and dis
tribution. The soil OF Ireland has
been In a large measure redeemed
and changed from a desolate abid-
ing place OF poverty-stricken people
to happy and comfortable homes by
cooperation"
There should be and will be a
scientific solution Of all economic
questions. The time has come when
all people must be governed by rea-
son and judgment instead Of preju-
dice, passion or WORKOUT customs.
We must conform to conditions and
learn to take things as they are and
not as we would have them. BY
united effort we can make conditions
better for ALL but minorities and the
unorganized must give way.
