The Llano colonist. [volume] (Llano, Calif.) 191?-1937, 1922-06-17

@ INCE THE DAYS Of Jesus Christ, the
- human heart has longed for the time
when no mans hand would be against
the hand of his neighbor, time when each
mans interest would be identical with the
best interests Of the whole community. The
progressive thinker, all down through the
march Of civilization, has yearned for bet
ter state of society in which to live. For
this reason, more than any other, men and
women have left their native soils and taxi
en- up the duties and terrible hardships of
pioneers, searching for the golden opportun-
ity.
From the East men go West; from the
West they go farther West; but the smeary'
hand Of exploitation has always followed
close behind, leaving them often drained to
the point of poverty
To get away from the tithe-paying system
from rent, interest and profit-men have
struggled and fought and planned. Coloniz-
alton enterprises have come into being in
many parts Of the world, having as their OBJ
jet the grouping Of congenial workers in an
effort to eliminate these Objectionable phases
Of human life. Many Of them have partly
succeeded, only to. be wrecked upon the
rocks, because of a lack of understanding
of each others motives.
After studying most Of the former attempts
at cooperative colonization, and marking
well the rocks and shoals in the stormy seas,
Job Hartman founded cooperative CONF
munity at Llano, California. on May LIST,
1914. This community operated and pros
pered at this location until 1917, when the
water for irrigation purposes proved unequal
TO the growth Of the Colony, and a new and
more resourcefuI location was found in Lou
isiana, where they are now located.
Founded on three great principles Of soci-
ology equality Of opportunity, equality Of
income, and equality Of ownership, the Llano
Colony has proven that men and women can
live together in harmony and prosper. This
Colony is incorporated under the law as a
protection against unscrupulous persons and
disgruntled self-seekers. Imagine if you can,
a miniature cooperative commonwealth, and
you have Llano Colony. Imagine a COM
munity where all the land. the farms. tools.

Man comes into this life mere

tricity until some one had discovered
the rule of action that had to Be adopt

It was said Of old that man some
time will know the truth, and that the
truth will set him. free. And all kinds
of so-called truth have in the course of
time communicated to him and he was
threatened with all kinds Of penalties
in hades if he refused to believe
them, and for long centuries he was
ostracized, penalized, murdered, yea,
even burned at the stake when the de-
mands upon his creduIity violated his
convictions Of right, his mental integ-
rity.
When Jesus of Nazareth confronted

ton has gone laundering down the
ages and has been asked by all kinds

few have been able to obtain valid
reply to that query. because they have
asked amiss and without the right spir-
it. We are told: When the spirit Of
truth is come, it will guide you into all
truth. The spirit Of truth is the de-
sire in the human heart to know what
is right and true, coupled with the de-
termination to do what is right and

this will set him free from all the i'll

Definite knowledge then is truth, and
this has been gained BY slow and labor
ious steps, often at the peril Of life and
limb from reactionary hierarchies Of
theologians, who in their blind conceit
and egotism, accredited themselves with
being high and holy repositories Of
truth. when in fact they were only in
charge Of Pandora box Of mischie-
vous and harmful speculations and
opinions. The chief demonstration OF
this gradual accretion of definite know
ledge is the evolution Of all mankind
from brutal and savage conditions to
his present estate. The fall Of man :
lis myth and the ascent of man from
Ia lowly origin to an ever higher e.
tate is glorious fact definitely ascer-
tanned BY scientific research. Anyone

groups and hosdes in greatly differing
environments and conditions, can come

TO no other conclusion but that their
limited knowledge, mental and emo
tional disposition or attitude is the de-
termining factor and responsible for it.
All effects are in the nature Of their
causes. There is harmony of sound in
nature, but only a. student and practi-
toner Of that sound can give express

The economic and social condition.
Of any community is determined BY the
knowledge and the mental attitude and
the emotional disposition Of the mem

The relations Of the members Of a
community to one another IS either
harmonious or inharmonious, accord
ing to their mutual consideration of
one another. When mutual harmony is
desired a corresponding attitude must
be observed. Everything that might
cause friction Or irritation must be
avoided. When this proposition is IN
diligently analysed. reason will have
to admit it. Just to the extent that
nature is more and more fully under

are more clearly discerned. And har-
