FATTENING ON ADVERSELY.

One of the discouraging things
about our present industrial system is
the fact that a certain class, and that
the leisure class, always fattens on
general adversely.
Here is man in debt. His property
is mortgaged to secure the payment OF
his obligations. Hard times strike
him. Crops go glimmering and the
prospect of a harvest fades away as
the sun grows hotter and hotter. The
means by which he expected to meet
his obligations are not at hand. lie Is
forced to sacrifice.
The leisure class with money steps
in and takes advantage of this and
other mems necessities. Property is
bought for half or two-thirds OF It's
real value. All the buyer has to do is
to sit down and wait for the return OF
prosperity, which is certain to come.
He gets back what he paid with an
enormous profit besides
Under our industrial system he has
done nothing that is not entirely legit-
innate. Before YOU begin to heap abuse
on him be honest enough to examine
yourself and ask if you would not nave
done the same thing if you had had
the money and the financial keenness
to see bargain and the courage to
invest your money.
The man who was in hard lines mad
to sell. His property was worth whal
it would sell for under existing condi
tions. The man with the money paid
4 as much as the man could have sold
/ it for to anyone else.
And yet after all is said and done
there remains feeling that conditions
ought to be changed; that the mar
ought not to be forced to sell; thai
he ought TO have had chance to hold
his property until conditions changed
as they were certain to do in tht
course of time.
What is the remedy, or is there any
remedy? Must the law of the jungle
always govern in business amon'
men? Shall the powerful always prey

must organize a corporation for the

to complete the plant, practically mort

preparation.
This is what T. H. Newell, head Of

fore the work which the settlers are
seeking can be provided for them. He
expressed the opinion that if all ele-
ments were favorable the work could
not be finsished in time to be of ma.
terial advantage to the settlers.
Mr.. Helgesen has therefore decided
that to introduce legislation now de-
signed to give relief work would be to
