instructions TO Lecturers
BY Frank Bonville

directions to lecturers speaking
on this subject. AS it is expect.
ed that 1900 or more lecturers
will be employed in various
parts of the United States during
the next two years, the necessity
of carefully studying these direc.
tions and closely adhering tc
them, will be apparent. II
must be clearly understood that
all emoluments received by lee
turers are for their own personal
use and not the system.
In case of neglect or refusal to
follow instructions no more by
laws will be furnished to the
lecturer so offending and as these
bylaws are protected by 30
different copyrights issued by the
United States government at
Washington, ID. c., there will
be no way in which the lecturer
can go on with the work.
Lecturers are admonished to
make no attacks. personal or
otherwise. on any individual,
corporation or institution, cX-
cept as hereinafter provided.
Inasmuch as the Bonville 80
Year System actually places con-
troll in the hands of the majority,
gives real competition among
individuals, and dispenses uni
versal justice, without crushing
life out of ambition; and, as it
does all this under existing con-
ditions. without interfering
with our present form of gov
ernment. it will readily be seen
that there must of necessity be,
in every state of the union. a
certain number of persons or i'm
terests that may properly be
looked upon as active enemies,
and therefore, properly open to
attack.
This number may safely be
fixed at say twelve. and includes
the governor, three of the most
influential newspapers and six of
the wealthiest men of that state,
the mayor of the largest city
and the sheriff of the county in
which that city is situated.
Wisdom. indeed. will dictate
earnest. well directed efforts
TO labor with and secure the CO.
operation of these influences;
failing which. they become as
said, properly open to attack.
and then only because. in the
light of experience we are JUS
titled in assuming them to be
antagonistic To so radical a re-
construction of the methods of
Big Business" as that proposed
in the Bonville 30 Year System:
and since they hold the power
and the control. their antagon-
ism must be anticipated and
dealt with in perfectly ethical
manner that will command the
respect and confidence Of the
people whom il sought TO in
terest.
II must not be lost sight of
that "self preservation is the
first law of nature" and the
twelve antagonists referred TO.
may be actuated 10y an errone.
Gus analysis of cause and effect.
and are therefore not TO be
held too strictly TO the moral
side of the issue; but must be
dealt with as purely physical
TO be overcome. The
time for fooling with irrespon-
sible agents has passed. Prac-
.ically. everything outside of
.hese twelve i'm each of the 4S
states i'm the Union, comes un-
Ter the head of agents. The
wisdom of disregarding a mutt
.ude of agents and concentrating
ln a few principals. will there |
fore become apparent at once. |
specially i'm view of the efforts |
lOw under way To create a fund |
ly popular subscription of not |
ess than one hundred million
lollars in the United States
Ilone for the purpose OF exploit
ng the Bonville 90 Year System.
[ might be well 10 mention here
hat each contributor TO said !
und becomes a member of the |
ommittee of investigation, pro-
ided for i'm the contracts of said |
ystem, and that the books,
Iapers and records of the same
hall be open TO his or her i'm
pectiOn. Concentration has

therefore,. concentration ON the
overnor, the one mayor and the
ne sheriff i'm any one state and ,

While il is true that the d
hcials referred to also are
gents, TO an extent, they are
