mighty RICH"

A writer in the "Outlook" describes
a ride he once took with an old farm
er in a New England village, during
which some of the men of the neigh
borhood came under criticism.
Speaking of a prominent man in
the village, I said, HE is q man of
means?"
well, sir" the farmer replied, "he
hasn't got much money, but he's
mighty rich"
HE has great deal Of land, then 2"
I asked.
mo, sir, he hasn't got much land,
either, but he's mighty rich"
The old farmer with a pleased smile
observed my puzzled look for mo-
ment and then exclaimed:
"You see, he hasn't got much money
and he hasn't got much land, but
still he is rich, because he never went
to bed owing any man cent in all
his life. He lives as we'll as he wants
to live, and he pays as he goes; he
doesn't owe anything and he isn't
afraid Of anybody; he tells every man
the truth, and does his duty by him.
self, his family and his neighbors;
his word is as good as his bond, and
every man, woman and child in the
town looks up to him and respects
him. No, sir, he hasn't got much
land, but he's mighty rich man be-
cause he has got all he wants"

WAR TAX BILL
IS UNSC|ENT|F|C
California Senator Says Num-
ton Profits Are Assessed
! |nadequate|y.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. s.-United
States Senator Hiram w. Johnson
criticized the present war revenue
bill as "unscientific, ambiguous and
by no means just" in an address
Wednesday before the Advertising
club.
At the outset of his speech he de-
clared his answering loyalty to the
president in the conduct of the war,
but asserted that the nations war
profits were inadequately taxed.
Had levy of 70 per cent been
made on them, as was proposed in
an amendment which the senator Of
fered, the country would derive from
this source $400,000,000 a year more
than it will get from the whole pres
ent war revenue bill. he said.
1.-THE experience Of all wars has
taught us that they must be financed,
as far as possible by present taxation.
We must realize that we have UNDER
taken not only to finance ourselves,
but to finance, as we'll, every nation
at war with Germany, and that we
have, to date. assumed liabilities Of
approximately 100000 or $685.

CONSUMPTION OF LABOR
BIG PROBLEM FOR 4. F, |

Washington, Nov. ga big is
sue, which will come before tho
A. F. of Il. convention, at Buffa-
10, and one with which the Exc

dustrial CONSUMPTION or forced
labor. Lord Northcliffe's de.
demands for the building of more
ships, and the demands of his
American friends that 100000
additional workers be found i'm
mediately for the shipyards, have
given the pretext for an out
burst of editorial suggestions that
'ElabOr'' be made to serve under
military orders.
One secret of the agitation
for forced labor is the dislike of
the big business crowd for the
department of labor. 1t is al
Ways encroaching upon their an

AMERICAN PLUT0CRACY IS failure

condition of social disorganization
which today approaches economic an
archy and social ruin.
Business has failed.
The same business purposes and
the same business spirit which pre-
dominates the American life, pre-
dominates likewise the British life,
the French life, the German life, and
the Belgian life. The western world
is business made world. The pow
erty, wretchedness, war, famine, and
disease which glare at us out of the
economic winter are business made
results.
Capitalism has had its chance.
There has been ample opportunity
for It to demonstrate its power as @
civilizing agency. The result of it's in
activity is world chaos.
Many students of social affairs pre-
dicted the failure Of capitalism. They
pointed out that society organized for
the profit of the few at the expense
of the the many must necessarily
break to pieces. They showed that
the brutal heartlessness Of industrial
exploitation. as it was perpetuated
under the capitalistic regime, must
inevitably destroy itself.
Competition belongs in the Jungle,
Even there many creatures have re-
jected it as method Of social or
ganization.
Society can be built upon one prin-
ciple and only one. That principle
is cooperation. Service must be rem
dered for service; all must work to-
gether in the interests of all. Bust
ness is organized on the rule of tooth
and claw. Society must be organized
on the rule of mutual aid. The fail
ure Of the American plutocracy was
inevitable. It is none the less de-
plorable that tens of millions of peo-
pie must suffer because of the in
ability of the leaders of our civiliza-
ton to comprehend the simplest prin-
ciples of social organization.
The plutocracy has had its day.
The twilight of capitalism is COM
ing. Business men will no longer
rule the world that they have
wrecked. The people are taking 8
hand.
Already the people of Russia have
undertaken to control their own af-
fairs. Whether or not they succeed
the will is there; the way alone must
be found.
The time has come for the Ameri.
| can people to follow the example OF
! their Russian comrades. To throw
aside the barbarisms of modern In.
dustrial society, to destroy economic
parasitism; to annihilate all of the
soc ial institutions which enable one
man to live on another mans labor
The time has come for the peoples
| everywhere to take possession of the
world and run it for the service OF
mankind.
