TODAY the big job Of the capitalist politicians is to per-
suade the workers and poor farmers that they gorged
with riches They tell those who labor in the city and on

says Hinman unless be Mr.. Reynolds lesson that all
live too fast east and west and north and SOUTH that we
all inclined regard the uxures of yesterday the
necessaries of today
Mr.. Hnman doesn't ask the banker Arthur Reynolds to
cut down his automobile bills and the street cars
Nowhere find that he urges his employer, William
Randolph Hearst his millionaire coedtor, Arthur Brs
bane to cut down on their automobile expenses Hnman
completely lodges the Rols-Royce clientele in automobile
Iuxuries." He only hits at the poor farmer with his Ford
