 The editor is not a believer in Marxian socialism. He is honestly opposed to the communism of Lenin. He believes in private property; but he believes there should be fair distribution of what is pro- duced among all the factors in pro- duction; that capital should receive it's fair return; and labor it's fair return. He holds that the word flair" means there should be q just proportion between the amount received by the man who puts in the dollar, that is, capital; by the man who directs an enterprise, that is, management; and by the group-by far the largest-that furnishes the third essential in production. that is, labor
 Many far-sighted manufacturers seeing the rocks ahead, are steering their industrial ships into safer channels by giving fair share of the proceeds from production to their workingmen.

THE GREAT UNREST
tFrom The Eagle Magazine}

(From The Eagle Magazlnet
 The greatest driving force in the world is fear Working men and women, small business men, and many professional men live in the fear that during the productive, or working years of their lives they will not be able to lay aside enough of the worlds goods to protect them against the hardships of poverty and of old age. Every working man and working woman-and this ap- plies equally to many business and most professional men-knows that at some time he or she will reach the peak" the high point, of earn ing power. In certain trades-such as mining, numbering, railroadlng, iron-working, and so on-men reach the height of their earning power before they are fifty years of age, many of them when they are forty or even less. Under the driving force of cheap production, their jobs depend upon their ability to keep pace with their younger and more active fellow-warkers. Now, the man with family, who has rassed thirty years of age and who does not own his own home and certainly has not laio by rest egg against the perils Sf advancing vears-fnds himself each year en- deed, each month-rearec the time that he has grown to fear, namely, the period when his earning power will not be equal 70 the sums that he must spend for the needs ot life. In other words, before the nest egg $ sufficiently large. hc has act ually reached the period when he must draw upon the principal he and his wife have saved.
 It must be conceded. of course, that this fear is not felt to nearly the same degree i1 aa agricultural family as it IS in an industrial family. The farmer who has ten acres of land and some livestock can live comfortably, even if frugal ly, until the hand of death is laid upon him and his wife. But this is not true of the man who works in the mine, the factory. or on the railway; it is not true of the in- dustrial worker. When the latter can no longer hold his place in the mill he has no farm on which to grow garden produce, feed a COW, and at little expense, care for hogs chickens and other food creatures Hence, the industrial worker threads more and more the end of eacf year of his working life, because there are SO few additional years left in which he can work and mee' the necessary expenses of himself and save.
 But all around him he sees evi dences of wealth and comfort. H' sees a very limited group of mel and women in every communit! who are not living under the weigh of this fear because, either througl inheritance or through their owI efforts, they are provided agains the rainy day when as business mel they give over the cares of bushes or as professional men they qui practice. Many of these men O wealth have accumulated what, t, the great industrial group, seem t be inequitably large fortunes.

plOyeS WHO are not doie, "ltn liie utmost practice of thrift, to add each year to the family nest-egg even paltry hundreds of dollars of dollars. Very often, too. the bases of these tremendous fortunes have been natural resources such as coal, iron, lumber, oil, water power. and so on, which might properly belong to the state-that is, to all. Very often these fortunes have been made by monopolies that have been cre- ated or made possible and protected by government itself.
 Today the average man and wo- man, more than ever before, are asking this question: If men and women work and save and bring children into the world, and love them and have ambitions for them, why cannot such parents give these children at least the advantages of decent housing, sufficient food, and and more they are asking an adequate education? Since mil lions of American men and women parents, who are in every way worthy citizens, are not, under pres ent conditions, able to do this, is it possible that the great force for good which most call God, has de- creed that always there must be a barrier between the natural and the just desires of the many, and the happier lot that has been given to the relatively few? To this query the average man and woman an- swer no, and again, NO. The aver age man and woman believe that the answer to the problem is to be found not in ascribing any such de- cree to God, but rather in placing the responsibility upon the unjust economic conditions and, frequently in addition, on questionable laws.
 The World War has brought home to men and women, as never before, the truth that we are all made pret- ty much in the same mould. The rich and the poor alike love their children; alike they seek those con. ditions that will make their child ren happy; alike they seek warmth against the cold; alike they enjoy food and they dread hunger; alike they want an old age free from cares and, above all, free from tht ', fear of poverty. During the danger ous days of the war, in every com
 munity, the ideal held up, and ou,
 rallying cry, was, "One for all ant all for one" Under the spell of tha
 splendid sentiment, "the boys il

will bring about a panic, closed and consequent low wages Men and women know today that money is only medium by which they exchange their labor for com modities; and they fear the early coming of the day when, for their labor, they will not get enough money to buy the things they need today, and to save enough to buy the things they will need tomorrow or next year when they may no longer have work or physically be able to work.
 Now what is the remedy for this What can remove the fear which is so deeply planted in the very fibers of the average man and woman. especially of our in dustrial workers? The answer is manifest: insure to every man and woman who is willing to work and to save, the ABSOLUTE certainty of escaping the things that they fear when the years of lessened produc- tion and of old age creep upon them. Let them be certain that for their labor. whether in terms of money or of something else, they will be able to live in decent houses under decent conditions; to rear decently and to educate properly their children. And then, over and above that, insure to parents in their old age, even if they can no. longer work, decent house in which to live, with proper food and clothing and the dozen or more that are necessary 10 the happiness of those who bend more and more under the weight of years.
 This is the answer. The solution may not come so easily. The worker must see that stint or his part of production will tangle up the best efforts at solution. lie must pro- duce all that he can be fairly asked to produce. He must give in labor all that he can be fairly asked to give. For only in such intelligently conscientious production can there be enough of the necessities, let alone the luxuries, of life, to SUD- ply the needs of the teeming mil lions. Labor is not doing it's share in solving the problem when it at tempts to restrict production, and the working man or the labor lead CT who breaches that doctrine is criminal obstacle to the better day. On the other hand, the large en- ployer and the wealthy corporation must understand that whether they
 wish it or not, the time is coming
 indeed, is close at hand-when limit ations will have to be placed upon
 the huge earnings that are paid to
 stockholders and to a favored few
 in the management rather than dis
 tributed fairly among all---even the
 least important-who have part in
 production. The economic system
 that has permitted John D. Rocke-
 feller to accumulate approximately
 one thousand million dollars in q
 lifetime, is manifestly an unfair economic system, and the processes
 of law that permit such tremen-
 dous accumulation in the hands of one man should be changed and the selfishness of it discouraged by taxation of incomes and inherit ances.
