KINGS AND THE PEOPLE

Editor Day Book:-The suggestion
that all the kings of the world should
be segregated and located upon a
fertile island somewhere and given
the hereditary right to work and
hustle for their own grub is unique.
It has good points and points that
are worth consideration.
If there were not better way and
one that would be much less trouble
and expense would be inclined to
favor the plan. After many years of
thinking about the matter Of social
conditions I have reached the con-
clusiOn that worry about the cOndi-
ton of kings is unnecessary.
Our worry should be about the con-
dition of all the people: The condi-
ton of kings is but a complement of
the condition Of the mass of the peo-
pie.
The great body of the people are
trying to do what your plan would
give to the children of kings. They
are trying in a blind way to get the
right to earn living by their own
labor.
They are prevented from doing
this because the laws of all civilized
countries give to few of the people
Ckings are included in this few the
ownership of all the land and by this
device the few levy so great a toll

LETTERS TO EDITOR
DIGGING MACHINES IN WAR

Editor Day Book:-Do you know
whether or not steam shOVels and
digging machines are used in the
present European war with which to
dig trenches for the dead? The other
day watched one of those wonder
full machines digging bitches for sew
er pipes in one Of our streets. The
thought then came to my mind that
such machines would be very useful
over in Europe just now, and would
save much hard labor which then
with more glory and honor could be
employed in getting human filing
material for the trenches dug
Theodor johnson, 1916 Race Az
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-09-30

that they are always in poverty and
most of the time at the point Of
starvation.
The suggestion I would make is
that we make over the laws of all
countries, so that every man, wo-
man and child on the earth would
have a right, legal right, to live up
on the earth, and to apply their labor
to the earth without having to pay
toll to the earth owners.
The simple way to do this is to
exempt everything on earth that is
produced by human labor from tax
alton, and to take the annual value
of the bare land for public purposes,
and to apply this great revenue for
purposes which will benefit all the
people.
This would give the kings and all
the rest of the people, too, such
abundant opportunity to produce
wealth that there would be no poor,
except the lazy, and would give us
so large a public revenue that we
could do without burdening labor at
all many of the things that the So
ciaEsts want to do, but do not know
how to get at it.
If the kings and the prime minis
tiers and the princes and everybody
else had to work for living they
would be so busy they would not
have time to learn how to make war
and would be so happy they would
not care about fighting.
Extreme wealth on the one hand
and extreme poverty on the other
make a condition where glory is
found in bloodshed, and false pride
and contempt of each other among
men make crooked thinking. And
crooked thinking makes crooked and
wrongful institutions that rob the
poor for the benefit of the rich.
Information on this line may be
obtained by writing tO-Geo. v.

When the civil war broke out the
United States Government, ignoring
Wards patent, copied his machine and

the Federal troops during the war were

amount Of money and the labor of thou

The Government paid Ward not one
cent for this infringement. and for
nearly twenty-five years he besought
Congress in vain for at least partial
enumeration. There was no question

1t was this same Ward who invented

molten iron. The Government appro-

civll war and never paid him cent
for It. Which furnishes an illustration
Of the fact that republics may be no
less ungrateful than munarchies.
