dred millions the Astcr estate is.
But that isn't the only error that
people who think like that fall
into. There's the bigger ques-
ton of the economic use of
wealth to be a perpetual creator
of product or other benefits.
The population of the United
States could sit down to a light
luncheon and eat the Astor for
tune out of existence in five or
ten minutes. After that, what?
Just nothing. Never again.
Take a great fortune in anoth-
er way and use it without i'm
mediate destruction. Say it's a
hundred millions; say a hundred
million people decide not to eat
it all up just as quickly as you
could mention Jack Robinson.
Say they resolve to use the nat
ural income of it, just the way
reason always has to figure the
use Of normal capital and pro-
ductive agencies. Say the in
come available for use is an av-
erage of 4 per cent. Say, if you
please, it is 4 per cent. Say, if,
you please, it is 5 per cent. Well
at that there would be an annu-
al income of $5,O00,000. And
that would give every one of the
hundred million people an income
of a cent year-a nickel car
fare once a year. Yes, less than
half a cent month-about pos
tage stamp. Less than a mill of
income a week-about 10 weeks
income to get together a copper
penny.
The hardest thing for so many
good folks to understand is that
if they got all that comes out of
a productive agency with out
making it produce moret they
wouldn't get much more than
they had been getting: in fact,
would get less, as human nature
works out. A million dollars OF
capital engaged in a mill anC

may earn for the owners or the

Every little country village
has an ambition to become a
center and a boom city, with no
special natural features or geog-
ographical advantages. Under
such conditions what is most
needed is some enterprise on the
part of its local capilists They
must make the first advance in
the uncertain field Development.
They must capitalize small fac
tories and see that they are kept
employed. When the local bus
mess is finally developed and
proves to the world that they are
successful, then outside enter
prises will be sure to step in and
enjoy your prosperity with you.

favOrite fishing hole and catches
fish, and all the other fishermen
who see that he is catching will
drop their hooks right by the
side of the lucky fisherman. The
business man of any town should
stop talking and hoping for others
to do something for the town.
They should get together them
selves and prove to world that
they have money making town.
No outsider will want to fish in
our swimming hole until we
prove that they can catch fish.
