THE OWNING CLASSES.

HE OWNING CLASSES.-WnlIe
l condemn church activity in politics
l know that the church as an institu-
ton is the servant of the master
class and not a servant of the peo-
pie, and l think that a discussion
based on the below statements will
bring more light than religious dis
cussion. Since the existence of small,
wrangling owning classes is the cause
of both war and poverty, why not end
both war and poverty by ending the
owning classes? In the meantime,
why not wrench the daggers from the
hand of greed by depriving the own
ing classes, the world over, of the
power to declare war?
Who except the owning classes
would thereby be weakened? Own
ing classes have no power except that
which they derive from laws backed
by the force of their victims bodies.
Why not take from the owning class
of the United States the law with
which they declare war? What might
we reasonably expect would be the
effect upon warworn people, the
world around, if they should discover

that the people of the United States
were firmly resolved to begin no war
upon another nation?
How long would it be before the
people of other nations, already tired
of war, would say: 1--WE, too, are
weary of being driven away to wars
we do not want. We, too, demand
that our rulers shall surrender to us
the power to declare war"
No necessity can be cited for the
situation that exists. The people do
not need an owning class to own the
earth and rule them. The fact that
such an owning class exists is CO.
lossal calamity. That class breeds
poverty in peace and death in war.
The people of the United States run
all of the trains and factories in the
United States. 1t is no advantage
whatever to the people that these in
dustries are owned by few idlers.
The people are as well able to own
the industries as they are to own the
capital at Washington. Nobody has
ever questioned the ability of the
people to own, collectively, great ma
chimes for the killing of men. Why
cannot the people as well own great
machines to feed and clothe men and
women? If it be proper for the peo-
pie to own the means of taking life,
why is it not proper for the people to
own the means with which to make
life worth while?-E. L.
