success.
They attempt to set aside the simple
principles of social economics. Wheth-
Ter we like it or not, these principles
cannot be defied; they are inexorable.
The people in such colony either
produce more or less than they con-
sumo. IF they produce less than they
consume they will fail financially. If
they produce more than they consume
they will sell their surplus product to
the world of consumers for profit. The
more profit they can make by exploita-
ton of the consumers, the greater is
their success. But such success is cap
italistic success. If they once get a
taste of it, the inevitable result is that
they make their group restricted and
circumscribed The fewer actual mem
bers, the greater the profit.
The ideal situation, in which the coll
onists produce all they use and need
and no more, is impossible in the pre-
ent capitaIistic society. To reach that
point they have to pass thru the gate
way Of capitalist success, and that gate

The Llano Colony is afraid of moth
ing.
Adverse stories are sometimes writ.
ten by misguided and misinformed
folks. They rush into print with what
they suppose is an expose of the Llano
Colony. But Llano is not afraid of this
publicity. We have often made the
boast that we will print anything that
is signed by responsible person.
On this page we reproduce some re-
cent effusions of such people. |
The first article is not signed by a
responsible colonist, but everyone is fa-
miliar with the phraseology of the writ
er. Why he should choose not to sign
his name is known only by himself.
This recent colonist' (if we are not
badly mistaken in his IDENTIFY invest
ed total Of ten dollars in the colony
organization, came here with several
motherIess children, and because he
could have no say where his labor
power is expended he became dissat-

several times walked away and found
some other work to do ON his own "

stuff that Llano is built of, and he vol

By A Recent COlOnist

The LIano Colony is run at present
by a few fanatics who got control OF
it almost since it was established here
some four and one-half years ago. They
moved here from California because OF
failure. Here we have the same trou-
Bile: few extremists who consider
only the psychological side of a CUES
ton and give no thought to the mater
ialistic side of the same question.
Their papers are published for con-
sumption and the truth is very much
exaggerated. The only. reason they
are published is to have an income
from which the Colony is supported.
The Colony is far from self-supportlng.
They realI, do not want to be; they
feel that the outside world should sup
port US, to build the first city in the
future cooperative commonwealth
And they have been collecting thou
sands of dollars, and have been vast
ing millions of working hours OF the
