capitalism, or the profit system

presented at the Hardin city hall
Monday evening, by Major Jerome

The new plan is the result OF
four years work on the part OF a
group of engineers, economists
statistician and public officials
who have made an intensive study
of existing business and social
conditions and of possible ways tc
better such conditions. Z
According to its sponsors Merit

making and enjoying of a decent
living by each member of Ameri-
cas- population should no longer
be left to chance, or depend upon
the uncertainty of present bust

should be absolutely assured to all
who engage in useful and product

The new plan assumes that each
man. woman and child in the
country. while engaged in useful
work, including schooling and
housekeeping. shall have an in
