,EEs RETURN OF FEUDALIsM.
Boston Post.)

(BostOn PostD
Prof Scott Nearing OF Toledo
University told the Ford hall forum
the other night that whereas the
average New York worker earns
SS42 a year. and has cost his father
$500. which may be considered as
an investment, his upkeep costs
$500. his net earnings. therefore, are
$40 and, allowing $40 for supple
mentary income. his gross income
is $50. But out OF this. IL the work
er is to be cared for as is property,
he must subtract the interest on his
fathers investment, or $50; his
sickness. accident, death, unemploy-
ment and old age insurance. and his
depreciation as a worker, which will
leave him seriously in the hole. his
income being actually $50 minus
$50 plus. This takes no account OF
dividends and a rainy day fund.
IF il is sound business" he add
ed. Ito take care OF property, it is
sound business to take care Of the
worker. The feudalism OF medieval
Europe was less cruel. because the
feudal lord took care Of and de-
Tended the workers. AS an actual
fact we are now constructing an
exact replica OF the feudal system
and chattel slavery.
IF we are TO have a democracy
we must work for an equal oppor-
tunity for life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness.
Every man must have what he
earns. And no son has a right to
more than his reducation. His ia
Their should not hand TO him the
power TO levy tribute. We must
eliminate every form of special
privilege"
