and industries are all owned by the COLLECTIVE
ity; where each works for the other; where
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 a 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 fullness 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 fellowmen- 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 a 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, Ii
brary, steam laundry. land clearing. fruit or
chards, print shop, peanut butter factory,
magazine and weekly newspaper, picture
show and theater. wagon-making shop. can
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 colonists, the
farmers specializing on sweet potatoes, SUI
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 doIIar 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 dc. or which needs most to be
done. A board Of directors is selected each
year BY the stockholders. which board in turn

not driven to learn The subjects are ar
ranged so as to draw out of the child the
best that is in him. With this IN view, diver
sified industrial trades are placed at his dis
posal. He may thus gain an insight into a
world of endeavor and can choose that which
most nearly fits in with his natural ability.
The school has its own cafeteria now, where
foods more especially adaptable to growing
children are prepared by the domestic SCI
ence class Music, singing, languages, bot
any, agriculture, Esperanto, are among the
subjects offered to Llano's children; and
there are many opportunities for obtaining
a real education, in addition to those pro-
vided by the regular state course Of study,
making them thinking. alert, self-reliant
group Of future builders Of a cooperative
commonwealth.
Equal wages are paid to men, women and
children. The theory of this is that each
colonist owes to the community his best en-
beavers, whether he be learned lawyer, hus-
ky farmer, or little school child. They give
to the whole The best they can, and in re-
turn receive the besi ether can offer.
Hospital and doctor are provided when
sickness comes. and there are no charges for
such social services. Funerals are conducted
along the same lines.
There is no need for insurance in the Col
ony for the dependents receive their support
just the same, even if the father be remove
ed from them
Social life is made by those who live to-
gether. The great objection to living on the
land is the isolation which accompanies il.
Here in LIano. the farmers and the industrial
workers live close TO the center where dane
es. entertainments, picture shows, and all
manner Of good times can be had for the
making.
No rent is charged for the houses, and
any building can be used for meetings With
out cost.
Men work in whatever industry they are
best fitted for. Sometimes they are moved
around to different work as is deemed neces-
sary. but the fact is conceded that each
worker works best at something that he likes
10 do and has fitted himself for. But when
It is remembered that each is working for the
whole. and the whole IS working for the in-

selects a general manager. He selects his
foremen for the various industries, and each
is selected carefully according to his ability
to do the work and TO direct his men.
Each manager is given free hand to run
his department, always with the supervision
of the manager and board of directors, in
order that his actions may not be contrary to
the collective welfare
New industries are started from time to
time as necessity demands. The object of
Llanos industries is to provide the Colony
with what it needs, rather than to make a
profit by selling the products. Production
for use is our slogan. Thus to make its own
food, clothing and shelter, to provide as far
as possible every convenience and comfort
is the final object. To get as nearly as pos
sible TO the source of wealth, the Colony will
raise sheep for woods cotton can be raised,
and the colonists can weave their own cloth
and make their clothing.
The Colony's timber lands are now fur
nishing hardwood and pine for its buildings,
its brick plant makes the necessary brick and
can make tiling. hollow tile, etc. for its own
homes.
The farm and gardens OF the Colony have
provided the. tables with most Of the good
things which nature offers.
Thus the three important problems are
easily solved.
The Colony now owns about 5000 acres
Of land. some Of it Of very fair character.
varying from bottom land to rolling land
and timber land. 1t intends TO purchase a
total of 10000 acres, because the colonists
realize that the movement is destined to grow
to large proportions. several small commune
tiles probably will be settled on the land.
When the days work is done at 4:30.
each colonist. has an equal opportunity TO
improve himself along many lines. such as
music. vocal training. languages, science.
agriculture. orchestra work. dancing. and
other diversions. Many Of these classes are
well attended, and all the colonists realize
the fact that to keep progressive they must
advance in knowledge. A radical in pol
itics and conservative in everything else is
out Of place in this community.
Llano's school system is as progressive as
the cooperative colony. The children are

when no mans hand would be against
