that usury was a dishonest practice
for the ruination Of the borrowers.
Aristotle, the leading philosopher
and thinker of ancient Greece opposed
usufy, because as he said. money Be-
ing barren metals. the propagation Or
breeding of an increase Of money from
themselves were utter impossibilities.
Plato, Plutarch. both the Catos, Cic-
ero and Seneca of Greece and Rome
objected to it on the same ground.
Both the old and new testament Of
the Bible condem the exaction Of inter-
est on money loans, and the Christian
churches denounced II III strong terms
up to the middle of the. seventeenth cen
tury.
And usury stands condemned be-
cause it demands mathematical inn
possibility Of the debtors, and then
strips them Of all their property because
of their inability to perform natural
impossibility. The financial efpire Of.
world is based on an impudent fraud.
At the beginning Of the American
civil war the public debt Of the u. S..
amounted to about $90,O00000. hi
1865 when this war came to a close the
national debt had mounted to $780,,
647,869. In the U. S. Treasury's rel
port Of 1891, page 3. it is shown that
at that time since 1865, that is in 26I
years, the government paid 5000, 000,.
600 on the original war debt contract
ed. In seven years time from 1865 to
1869 the Wall street bankers made
clear profit Of one billion dollars out
of their bond purchases from the gov
eminent and the common people paid
the freight.
And bank credit was active as well
all the time and ever since. plucking
the common people in approved style
of their flim-flam and confidence

mini and see if you don't catch on to

fountain from whence it flows. Since
desire is the source from which all hui
man conduct flows. it follows as a nee
essary sequence, that the character Of
the one must be like that Of the other.
The foregoing propositions are self
evident to every observing mind; and,
if carried TO their legitimate conclu-
sions must call in question the prevail
| ing theories of moralists; the opinions
Iof jurists (ciyil and criminal); he doc
trines Of political economists: the creed
Of theologians. and the plans of reform
ers. Whoever ascribes honor, dignity.
merit and authority to these in SO far,
fails in his appreciation of the dignity,
power, and authority Of truth. Since
he makes no pretence Of recognizing
NATURAL LAW as the revelator of
all truth.
In the improvement Of public affairs
we must deal with the elements of hui
man nature. II ii absurd to suppose one
could construct watch who is igaor-
ant of the use of the tools and mater
ials he must employ. and Of the nature
of the force that moves it to action;
SO it is absurd to expect man to build
Ia social structure with inadequate
knowledge Of the springs Of human ac-
ton.
1t is we'll known that governments,
religions land codes Of morals were es-
tablished before knowledge of human
nature existed or was even suspected.
How could life be otherwise than at
tended with error2 The fact that the
world is full of evil AMI misery is a con-
slant and irrefragable proof that the
theories, opinions, creeds and dogmas
that now prevail are not true. BY
their fruits We shall know them
Man has not yet reached his true
plane Of life. He lives and moves on
the selfish, sensuous plane, while his
essential nature demands the moral and
spiritual plane. lis dual nature must
be harmonized BY the supremacy Of his
moral sentiments and spiritual aspira-
tons over the selfish and sensuous de-
sires. If the latter hold sway, strife
and conflict are inevitable; if the for
mer rule, good will, peace and harmony
will prevail among mankind.

and industries are all owned by the COLLECTIVE
each receives the same compensation for a
days work; where no member will accept
anything which any other member cannot
have on the same terms, if he desires it
in short. imagine place where the golden
rule is the only law imposed upon the COM
munity, and you are picturing the Llano Co
operative Colony.
After eight years Of work, Llano Colony is
rated in the commercial world as worth over
$250,000. But Llano's least asset is its COM
mercial rating. The fuIlness Of life, the JOY
of living, the satisfaction Of working, the
security for the future. the healthy environ
ment. the opportunity for education, the af-
lection of your felowmen- these are priced
more, much more, than what the commercial
world calls success.
This colony now has something like thirty
industries. all collectively owned Among
these are: apiary, auto garage, building de-
partment, brick-making plant, blacksmith
shop. butcher shop. broom factory, crate
making factory, chicken farm, dairy with
about 20 milking cows and herd of thoro-
bred Holstein heifers, goat ranch. hog ranch,
with several hundred Duroc- Jersey hogs.
sweet-potato storage houses, dressmaking,
grist mill, handle lathes. hotel, hospital, Il
brary. steam laundry. land clearing, fruit or
chards, print shop. peanut butter factory,
magazine and weekly newspaper. picture
Show and theater, wagon-making shop, cam
dy kitchen, shoe shop, harness shop. and
many other smaller concerns.
Then Llano's farms and gardens provide
the bulk of the living for the coIonists, the
farmers specializing on sweet potatoes, SUE
gar cane, peanuts, corn, beans, peas, etc,
while the gardens provide greens and gar
den truck for the table the year around.
The system Of government is exceedingly
simple. Stock is sold in the corporation at
one dollar share. and only stockholders
are employed by the Colony. An agreement
of employment is entered into between the
Colony as an organization and each individ-
ual. Each member is employed at what
he best can do. or which needs most to Be
DONE A board Of directors is selected each
year BY the stockholders. which board in turn
