Us use the earth or the machines un-
less they fix the terms ON which We
use them. and when they fix the terms,
the Terms are such that the many are
doomed to poverty and the few are
made rich, idle and useless.
II you do not See that, you know
this Is true; don't try to talk .lbout it.
There will be no use in reading about
It. Just sit still and think about it..
You will soon see that you do know
1t, nd tahat' you have always known it.
Whatever your wages, your salary, or
your income may be, If you earn it,
after you have paid the food trust, the
penses, you are then without means
pending the next pay day.
Most OF the wealth created by your
labor, your wages could not buy at all.
You get so little when you sell your
labor, in a market where the sellers
are many and the buyers few, and you
pay so much when you buy food and
shelter in market where the buyers
are many and the sellers private
monopoly, fixing the prices for all
other sellers, and for all buyers. you
along with the rest, that you are al
ways poor. What the workers pro-
duce and can buy back with their
wages keeps them alive, but it keeps
them poor. What the workers produce
more than their wages will buy, the
owners of the private monopolies get.
That Is what makes the useful people
poor, and the useless people rich.
Don't you know that this is true?
Why, then, does this needless DOW
erty exist? 1t Is because of land
monopoly, mining monopoly, manufac-
turing monopoly, market monopoly.
It is because the few privately own
what all must together use; that is,
the earth and the machinery with
which to use the earth. That is what
is called capitalism.
What is tie remedy?
. It is very simple. Make every pr
vately owned monopoly public own
ed monopoly instead. Then all those
things which all the people use to
gether, all the people, acting through
their government will own together.
Then, because there would be ne one
to privately profit at the loss OF
others, the wages, the salaries. in
comes must rise and the cost Of living
must fall until the useful people, who
produce all the wealth, win be able to
buy and enjoy the ne of all the wealth
they themselves product. That would
make an end of poverty to all useful
people, and 1t would make an end of
private fortunes in. the hands of those
who never earned them.

Poverty and Monopoly,
Wh12 By al
why Walter Thomas Mills

II anybody will think q. little he VIII
readily discover that he already knows
the cause OF this needless poverty. To
get the answer you need not know
more. You know enough now. The
answer will come, not BY learning
what you do not know, but by think.
ing about what you do know already.
Here are some things everybody
knows: 4
1. That millions OF people who
must occupy and use the earth, and in
order to use the earth must use the
great machine swith which to use the
earth, do not own either the earth OF
the machines with which to use the
cart. You know that don't you?
2. That the few who do own the
earth and the machines with which to
use the earth, will not let the rest Of

It is agreed by everybody:

1t is agreed by everybody: u
|. That the earth is large enough
and ricn enough in soil, climate, for
est and mines SO that no one needs
to De poor for any fault of the earth.
2. That the great machines are
good enough, and are so productive
when in use that no one needs to be
poor for any fault of the machines.
g. That there are workers enough
skillful enough, and willing enough to
produce enough so that no one needs
to be poor for any lack of the power
OF labor to produce.

poverty is needless.

Fishers of Men

ord implanted in every girls heart a
longing for love that is not satisfied in
the love Of father, mother. brother. sis
Ter or friend. II is a longing that grows
with her years, showing FIRST in her smil-
ing overtures as baby to some boy and
never ending till it finds satisfactio in
the love of a husband and child.
She may grow old and gray in
spinsterhood; she may Judge mans love
by the unhappy experience OF some sis
ter and decry it; she may despise the
dependence that comes with love and
deny it, but to the end of her days
ears refuse to hear, there remains at
the bottom Of her heart a longing for it
that is never stiled, And no woman is
normal until she has known it.
We are all fishers of men To deny
it is to deny the plan OF Nature. The
only difference is in outward manfes-
tations OF this great inward desire
Some of us stand for life looking visit

rules Of the game have served as bait
and we find ourselves threatened with a
life time Of loneliness and heart hunger.
