HUMAN NATURE

Every serious reform is met by
the argument that human nature can
not be changed. A Yale professor
has written book on the idea. When
We suggest government ownership Of
railroads and Of ships, or even city
ownership of a gas plant, we are told
that it won't work because humans
arc selfish lot. Put any Of them in
office and they begin grating and
negelecting the public interest. Hence
the only thing we can do is to let
things run along as they are until
such time as human nature is mad,

The argument is as foolish as it is
common because we want government
Ownership of certain things for the
very reason that man is by nature
selfish.

have been trusting to few men to

to mine our coal, to few others to

Both in reason and in practice we
have found that this trust in the few

more selfish than the general run OF

LABOR

Out of chaos, from the murk,
I arose and did my work
While the ages changed and sped
was toiling for my bread.
Underneath my sturdy blows,
Forests fell and cities arose,
And the hard, reluctant soil
Blossomed richly from my toll.
Palaces and temples grand
Wrought l with my cunning hand.
Rich indeed was my reward
Stunted soul, and body scared
With the MARKS of scourge and rod.
I, the tiller of the sod,
From the cradle to the grave
Shambled through the world-a slave!
Crushed and trampled, beaten, cursed.
Serving best, but served the worst,
Starved and cheated, ouged and
spoiled,
Still l builded, still I toiled.
Undernourished, underpaid
In the world myself had made.
Up from slavery l rise,
Dreams and wonder in my eyes,
After brutal ages past,
Coming to my own at last.
l was slave-but I am free!
l was blind-but I can see!
l, the builder-I, the maker.
l. the calm tradition-breaker.
Slave and serf and clod no longer,
know nv strength-aDc who is
stronger?
! I am done with ancient frauds
Ancient lies and ancient gods
All the sham is overthrown,
I shall take end keep my own.
Unimpassioned, unafraid,
Master of the world I've made!

RAILROAD FACTS

The Plumb Plan league is render.
ing the country service in making j
good fight against fraudulent railroad
securities. The railroad interests ar.
trying to get government backing for
all the water poured into the roads.
And with possible return to private
ownership they want also a guaran-
teed return on the water and huge
loan to put the roads in shape to do
good work. In other words, we will
put up the money and let a few
sc.lemers do the spending of it.
The league puts the figures On rail-
road worth as follows:
1.-THE railroads of the country are
worth from $11,0OO,0O0,O0O to $13,
O00,000,000.
That is far more than they cost the
owners.
But that is what they are worth
today according to the stock quota
tons on wall street.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has been valuing railroads under
the La Toilette bill and from the
railroads are worth about $12,O00,-
100000.
"But the railroads are claiming Il
value Of $40 ,0O0,000,000.
They are demanding that congress
shall recognize the fictitious watered
securities and insure the owners Il
minimum Of 6 per cent interest upon
them. This is the main purpose OF
the bills introduced into congress by
the railway owners.
''1n other words, they demand that
the workers Of America, the farmers
Of America, the manufacturers AMI
producers of America, shall pay them
a minimum in interest charges Of
81 200, 100000 year. If they get
possession of they roads they may
demand $1,600,000,000. The govern
mcnt is now paying the railroads
$900,000,000 rental.
GIVE. HIM JUSTICE.
All hail the dawn Of new day break
ing,
When a strong armed nation shall
take away
The weary burden from backs that
are aching
With maximum labor and minimum
pay;
When no man is hoonred who boards
his millions.
When no man fcasts on another'S
toll,
And Gods poor suffering, starving
millions
Shall share his riches of sun and
soil.
Shame on the owner Of mines whose
And selfish measures have brought
him wealth,
While the ragged wretches who dig
his fuel
Are robbed Of comfort and hope
and health.
Shame on the ruler who rides in his
carriage
ought with the labor of half-paid
Men who are shut out of home and
WdTEl0Se
And are herded like sheep in a how
el pen.
Let the clarion voice Of the nation
wake him
To broader visions and fairer play,
Or let the hand of a just law shake
him
Till his ill-gained dollars shall roll
away;
Let no man suffer with want and
cold;
We want right living, not mere aims
giving,
We want just dividing Of labor and
gold.
