 Dear Sir: In order to comprehend intelligently the reason for our present economic revolution 1t is necessary to consider the present structure of so-called organized society; together with it's inception growth and reason for being. The term organized society means simply the human family. For some reason or other in primitive times there was only one law. the survival of the fittest. Each man stood alone, with club in one hand. the other hand being most ly engaged in dragging a woman to his fortified cave. So history tells us. Mankind in those days lived in perpetual state of war fare, his conduct dictated solely by his desires.
 After while the idea dawned that perhaps a happier and more profontod ctoto of hoinU could hSs enjoyed by merging into groups; that by joining with his fellow man on the basis of the common good for mutual protection and beneft. man could live in friend ship with his neighbors. Thus began the working out of the nat ural law. There is nothing on earth or in the universe as close lv related to each other as man Is to man. We touch each other at every point. There is no one t..at can free himself from the whirlpool of human influences that continually surges around us. Soc iety is not the accidental contact of man, as soa4 many of our recent statesmen and financial leaders have found out; it is on the con. trary an intimately related and dependent organism. Centuries passed and the passing years witnessed the introduction of many things into the fabric of society that are today institution al; education. in its various bran ches. courts of law. money as "A medium of exchange, machinery and skilled labor, marriage and divorce The inception of these made devices into the strue- ture of society made for progress Progress toward what?

 tempting to settle.
 Organized society has witnessed the rise of what we term the cap italistic system. Those of you who know of what this system is inher.tantly composed, know that it is a good one if properly con- trolled. What the great majority resent is the recent domination of government, yea, of our very lives and our sources of existence. by the group of interruptions, greedy leaders who had acquired through the false standard of rugged in- dividualism complete control of the capitalistic system and organ ized society. In other words, or ganized society has in recent years been absolutely controlled by the domination of money. Money, as have pointed out, is an inven- tion of organized society; a. med tum of exchange to assist in trad ing the products of our labor It was always meant to be servant of society, never the master that
