no intention on our part to impose its

all the ills that mankind suffer are self

THE MUTUAL SERVICE EXCHANGE

To an inquiry for information Of
practical exchange methods the follow
ing reply was made.S
Dear SIR
Your inquiry concerning the methods
of moneyless mutual-service eX-
change has come to hand. 1t must be
seIf-evident to you that mans useful
productive capacity and his ability to
beneficiaIly serve his fellow is not de-
pendent upon the presence of money,
nor do his necessities for sustenance
and the comforts of life subside when
money cannot be had. The require
ments for food, clothing. shelter, and
social amenities being imperative at all
times, some other arrangement must
be made when the sources of money
supply fail to function adequately as
al present, and on equitable terms.
1t is under such conditions that vol
untary facilities can be provided for
any number of people who are willing
to exchange their products and ser
vices that others can provide.
A center for the deposit or storing
of products and the registry of services
must be provided as a nucleus Of the
work. Such center is carried on SINH
lar to bank. Only instead of the ba-
sis being coin and bank credits, it con-
sists of the actual things of subsistence
and supply, Some reliable person must
be placed in charge to act as receiving
teller, appraiser and accountant, and
issue deposit-certificates, (the use Of
passbooks is also prScticable) to every
depositor.
Goods of a perishable nature. such
as fruit, vegetables and berries should
be limited to the running disposal of
the institution or arrangements made
for canning them.
When two persons agree to directly
interchange products end service with
each ether, they become to that extent,
indcnendent of governmental money
and bank credits; what two persons
can do. any number tan do when they
mel-e adequate ARRANGEMENTS. If a
sufficient range or circle Of industries

saries and comforts of life. Qnite, CO.

E. W. French, writing in the Golden
Age of October II, on the Mammon
of Unrighteousness'', asks the question,
why under the sun does not some one
that has leadership or a press advocate
a moneyless world, and do oway with
all this terrible crime and misery that
is imposed upon the people9"
Always someone else is to set the
ball rolling. What Mr.. French is calling
for we have set out to do here at New
llano, and what is more we are doing
it. Any group of people anywhere can
begin to serve cash other independent
of money. A moneyless world will de-
velop just as quickly as people engage
in mutual service and supply. work re-

Now is the day of salvation. Make a

poly In this our monopolized system
of business all evils have their source.
Under this sort Of criminal system the

This is denied them by monopoly and

If your farmer protests against the
high wages the organized workers get
remind him that before there were any
labor organizations skilled workers re-
ceived less than a dollar a day, and
that if the farmers want more returns
for their labor they too should organ
ize. And don't forget that very
great portion Of the high wages the
organized worker receives is spent fol
the things the farmer has TO sell, and
that always when work is plentiful and
wages good for the industrial workers,
the farmer is prosperous, and when
poverty pinches the wage workers the
farmers suffer also.

But too many do not make use of this
wonderful gift and are suffering the
consequences of imposition, ignorance
and privations of many kind.
1t is universally admitted that it is
within human power to control self.

1t ascertains industrial FACTS, aims to
simplify industrial processes and carry
on all its activities in accordance with
the most efficient technical discoveries
and demonstration up to date. 1t is all
a matter of voluntary adjustment on
the part of the individual co-operators
to one another and to the conditions as
they now obtain at present.
One of the greatest obstacles to mu-.

disposition of fault-finding, of harsh
criticism. The analytical faculty in and

friendly and considerate spirit will
prove very hulpful.
On the other hand, when a man is
curt, and rude in dealing with situa-
ton it usually denotes that he Is ig-
norant in some way. There are some
who will not agree yith this, believing
that some circumstances need the iron
hand and harsh treatment. But there
is no use i1acting like a boor merely
to show that you can be firm and de-

harshness to cover up a lack of know

Because man is polite is no reason
for thinking that he is weakling, and

to fall on any one to be recognized as
