We ahve just emerged from war
, that called for incalculable sacrifices.
More than seven millions of human
life were offered upon the altar of
Mas; hundreds of billions of proper
ty were burned up and debts, grie-
vous to be borne, were piled high up
on the backs already bowed under
heavy burdens. Financial systems
broke downunder the strain and each
nation engeged in the war put forth
supreme effort. But while this was
the common lot and while the masses
met uncomplainingly the unprece-
denied demands, giving Of their blood
and of tehir means, few reaped a
rich harvest from he nations misfor-
tunes II W may judge from the income
tax returns, the nation never knew
such rio of excess profits. Million
aires sprang up inrapidity and num-
bers never equaled in the nations
most prosperous days, and how now
when thewar is over and people are
trying to re-adjust themselves to new
conditions, we find plutocracy more
insolent and more arrogant than it has
ever been befre. It seizes upon every
pretext to gain firmer hold upon
government: it resorts to every form
of misrepresentation to further its
ends: and it seeks to condemn as UNI
patriotic, every protest against it's
most excessive demands.
The number Of plutocrats in the
country is relatively insignificant
as small as the number of anarchists,
but in influence they are powerful be-
cause their interests are iaterwov-
en- with many Of the great newspapers
of the land. Altho public ownership
has age and responsibility on its
side. these beneficdaries of private
monopoly seek to disgrace public
ownership by describing it as social
dstic. One Of the railroad presidents
.mpudently answered the demand for
government ownership OF railroads
asking whether our nation was to ba
Russianized. This intolerance. is
breeding discomfort and furnishes
material to the few who preach rev;
oluton as remedy for plutocracy.
