A LMOST every great fallacy is founded
on truth.
THE socialists tell us the world would be
finer, happier, place to live in if every
man owned share of it
And in that they are right.
But
WE believe that Socialism today as
system of government is, before the
world, a failure.
Large opportunity is worth more than
little property.
IN this country ownership of opportunity
belongs to every man, and never was
there freer field or greater opportunity in
America than today.
WE hold that the broader, sound distri-
button of ownership will come with
the broader education of the whole people
in the investment of income.
THE great payrolls Of the nation do the
wage Garner small service if at the
years end he owns no more than at its be-
ginning.
The war has taught us vast production.
There is more to divide than ever there was
before.

The Fedora. Trade Commission will
call for reports in proper cases and
the Federal Trade Act provides that
any company or person making a

of running the fraudulent business OF
the Illicit dealers must be borne by
