They're After You

You don't believe the Labor Socialist
class" are really trying to take away
the savings and property of the thrifty,
Home Owning class do you?
Probably there win be a loud cho-
rus 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 property by the
deft hand Of the Labor Socialist
class" and according to laws passed
while the Home Owners slept, and
which the courts must execute.
Impossible you say. but the game
is on and the Labor Socialists are right
now actively at work before Congress
and the various State Legislatures,
and viii establish these laws quickly
unless stopped.
Their plan is based on one principle
If any man has worked and been
economical and self-denying and has
bought a home. take II away and di-
vide up The proceeds among those who
are unthrifty, drinking, prohigate OK
simply failures"
Take money away from the man
who has it.
Give il 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
to pass at least a dozen bills, each Of
which has, away down at the bottom,
a plan to take away a part or all OF
the thrifty mans savings and give
them TO the unthrifty.
They win surely succeed unless the
home owners" wake up and protest
in numbers enough TO win,
Don't believe a word Of it." the av-
arage reader says.
Naturally, because the average read
er seldom examines bills offered to
and the Legislatures, and II
he casually reads of these bills they
ook harmless enough.
Some will only wake up when, un.
der the new laws, uf the Labor So !
,ialists succeed in having the bills
oassed) they find their property and !
savings ooze away and the courts
oowerless to prevent
