The only argument advanced in sup

we are to have public ownership Of
public utilities or further attempts at
their regulation. 1t is not whether we
shall settle a multitude of questions
one way or another. These questions
that I have named are all live ques-
tions. They must be settled. We have
tried to settle them for many years,
but we have failed. Discussion of
them must remain academic until we
make ourselves the proper tools with
which the work can be done.
I have said we want to restore pop

1t is better to be harnessed to

young, with the hope of attaining
your ideals as a reward for faith
ful service, than to ride at ease
in the morning and be left in the
ditch of failure as the sun of your
s. life sinks toward the west. What
the world needs is courage and
conscience to face the problems
of our civilization. Be not afraid
of the people. They do nothing
rashly. They furnish all the

no more brakes. We need steam.

Whether you are to pay your share

90, or refuses to do it in the way you
want it done, you always reserve the
right to do it yourself. No private
business could exist on any other
basis. You would not think Of hiring
a man for two years, or four years.
and giving him complete control of
your business without the right to in
terfere with him. He might get
notion to run the business for his own
advantage and let you whistle. He
could say to you: 43<sYou go back there
and sit down, and twiddle your thumbs
for a couple of years. I'm running
this business" He would be making
the profit out of your business, and
you would pay the bills. Suppose a
farmer with a dozen hired men bound
himself not to do anything until they
gave him permission. We would send
him to lunatic asylum. That is the
way we have been conducting our pub

would think Of conducting his private
business.
We propose to change this. We
propose to apply the same kind of
common sense to our public affairs
| that each and every one of us applies
to his private affairs. We propose to
reserve the right to do things for our

refuse or neglect to do for us. How
do we propose to apply this right to
public affairs? It is very simple.

attitude toward and faith in ones
fellowmen.
Monopoly, on the contrary, breeds
distrust, undermines independence,
compeIs uniformity, kills initiative, dis.
courages frugality, smothers courage
and hope, bIights individuality, and
destroys the love Of home and country.
1t is inevitable that this should be SO.
Where is the incentive to initiative
when you have no power to carry out
your own plans or profit by your own
effects? Now can he be brave and in
dependent who depends upon the wF1im
of another for chance to earn his
daily breed and supply the needs Of
his family? Who can feel the spirit
of good will toward his fellowmen that
sees in each a possible rival for his
Job? Who can love a country that
belongs to others and in which he has
no share of ownership?
It has been said that no man ever
took up arms in defense of a board
ing house. It can be said with equal
truth that no man ever loved an alien
country. If you want to know what
happens to country that is not owned
by it's people, remember what Ireland
was under absentee landlordism. And
you need not>go that far Look at the
tenant farm, choked with weeds, the
soil robbed of it's fertility, fences down,
and buildings in state of disrepair,
ruin and desolation everywhere. Mon
opoly is absentee landlordism on ma
tional scale.
Monopoly a Curse to Those Who Con-
troll It.
Nor is this the only way in which
monopoly corrupts. To what uses are
the fortunes put that grow up under
monopoly? Are they a blessing to
their possessors? All the property
that a man can accumulate, all the
money that he can hoard beyond the
reasonable needs Of himself and his
family, are q curse to him. As his
wealth accumulates, it takes more and
more Of his attention, more and more
Of his time. The burden Of taking
