The stronghold of the Beaver.
BY NIKSAH

Far I'D in the Businesses Of the

ably the largest existing colony or
beaver has established itself for last
stand.
The beaver was once one of the
most abundant of our American ami
mails, but the ease with which he was
trapped and the value of his fur soon
drove him far on the road to eXtinc-
ton. Soon only the most stringent OF
protective legislation was able to save
him, but now he seems to be com

vorable location he increases rapidly.

The hollow in the mountains crest is
dotted with irregular rows and min

most bewildering topography.

HUMAN VALUES.

In time of peace there was a prin-
ciple of priority operating, but its ma
ture was wholly different from that
existing in war. 1t was priority of
the purse. The fastest transconti-
mental freight trains were those that
conveyed japanese silk from Puget
Sound to the Atlantic seaboard. SILK
had right of way under the rule of the
purse. If there were shortage of
building material or of carpenters Ia
Dor, it did not operate to postpone the
erection of the rich mans country
mansion. Its natural effect was to
leave unsolved the problem of con-
gestion in the working mems quarters
of our industrial cities.
Often there was shortage of labor i'll
the tomato canneries. but there
never was a shortage of labor in
the establishments devoted to the
preparation of caviare. Society was
unable to produce sufficient clothing
to preserve the children of the poor
from death by exposure, but it could
find a score of men to labor for weeks
in Arctic icefields to provide a prima
donna with superfluous furs.
Our productive organization in
peace is designed to satisfy needs, says
the New Republic, but needs count
ing in the scale not according to in
tensity of feeling, but according to the
magnitude of the associated purchas-
ing power. In peace our production
is directed by money prices. In war it
tends to be directed by human values.
In peace the inequalities in the dis
tribution of income are reflected in
the things we produce and the things
we do without. In war we cannot
afford to let men starve because they
are poor or waste because they are
rich.
We are not greatly concerning our
selves about the distribution If in
come, but we intend to have. for the
time, a socially rational distribution of
our productive power. And this is
economic revolution.
