HERMIT MILLIONAIRE TELLS WHY HE
GAVE AVA Y FORTUNE TO CHARITY
Charles Garland Breaks Long
Silence for First
Time,
BY EDWARD THIERRY
III


NIDDLEBORO, Mass, April
lN 16.-Charles Garland, her
nit millionaire, has broken his
silence. For the first time he
has told why he gave away his
fortune "for the benefit of man
kind'-$85O,OOO for distribution
in gifts and loans through the
American Fund for Public Serv-
ice.
These questions were asked
Garland:
why did you first refuse
your inheritance"
How have your views
changed since?"
"Do you think it justiiable to
live on unearned or inherited in
comet"
What is your general attitude
toward private property"
Garland's answers are made public
for the first time exclusively through
NEA Service. They come simultan-
eously with an attack on the Garland
Fund by Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation Of Labor,
charging that the money is being used
for the revolutionary movement in
America" and publication of the first
six months activities Of the fund es.
tablished last July.
Here Is the personally written story
Of the one-time millionaire who lives
on barren thirty-acre farm near
MiddleborO, where he is establishing
a community to carry out his ideas Of
socialized property rights:
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-04-16
Waited to Do Good

l did not then dispose Of the money
because I saw no way of doing good
with it. The inheritance was a part
Of the economic system which / want
ed to destroy. It was the fruit Of the
spirit Of greed as opposed to the spirit
Of cooperation for which 1 felt
must work.
Since then l have come to feel that
the ownership Of simple necessities Of
life-of food, clothing and tools for
workng-in no way conflicts with the
spirit Of cooperation, provided that
one owns things to use them for social
purposes and not to deny the use of
them to others.
AS Tor living on unearned or in
hented income. / believe that only
one thing matters-that one strive to
do good with what resources one has.
Unearned wealth, like all wealth.
should be used 70 rthe benefit of So
ciety as a whole. It is created by
society. No individual himself ere
ated great wealth.
Reap Others Labor
Those who have amassed large for
tunes have reaped the labor Of others.
All income on loaned money is de-
rived from the labor Of others, although
the one receiving the income may never
come in contact with those who are
actually providing the wealth which
is turned over to him. Anyone who
sincerely wants to use his or her
wealth for social purposes viii find
a way. Where the way is lacking the
will is lacking
And here is the root Of the whole
problem. lie is working to propitiate
the god of the day, ownership. Man
will not see that he is his own master
no matter what god he invents to
symbolic his own authority. Men
are enslaved not by property, not by
economic laws. not by material OBJ
stacles too great to. overcome but by
their OWE ideas. by their false con
Ception of the forces with which they
have to deal.
When man becomes conscious OF
his authority he will no longer be sat
isfied to sell his birthright-the right
to choose his own destiny. He will
not do days work to make money"
He will do it because he feels that 1t
is sensible and useful work-because
he is proud Of the plan which he him
self has conceived and which he is full
filling with every hour of his work.

BY controlling and intelligently
directing these utilities of time,
place and form. cooperative
marketing organizations stabilize
and standardize the selling of
their products. without increas-
ing the costs to the consumer
and at the same time bring a
larger return back to the pro-
Queer. BY feeding consumptive
demands gradually, and in an
orderly way and with quality
goods, the growers in Minnesota
and other states will not only
save for themselves the vast
sums which they always have
lost through speculative influ-
ences. but they will also save the
tremendous amount of money
spent for freight on worthless
and unmarketable potatoes.
Nothing has been offered to
the potato growers which is
sounder. more certain of success
or means more to them than the
California plan Of commodity
cooperative marketing.
Pine county raises in round
numbers 100000 bushels of
potatoes; if these are sold at 40c
per bushel it brings to our
farmers 100000. But investiga-
ton shows that when we are
getting 40 cents the ultimate con-
sumner is paying $l.20 or better.
Some one is paying for Pine
county potatoes $1,000. 900. or il
is costing us 100000 to distri.
butte and market our potatoes.
We believe by selling our own
product by a well organized
selling organization this cost can
be materially reduced and should
be cut in half.
We believe the producer should
ha oatt;no fha gQ00 OO0 and th.t
100000 should pay for distribu-
ton and marketing.
Briefly, the Pine County Po-
tato Growers Exchange is being
organized to keep as large a por-
ton as possible of that 100000
in Pine county, and in the
pockets of our own potato
growers.
