and economic life that is precious and
priceless and that must be perpetuated
and woven into the fabric of the new.
| Therefore, there must be no ruthless
desire to discard or destroy any part
or particle of our present system that
can be utilized, but there are some ba-
| sic features in our present system that
must be completely eliminated from
our industrial affairs for the good rea-
son that they tend to the concentra-
ton of national wealth into the hands
and control of a very small minority
of the whole people, and while this
condition continues to prevail there
can be no permanent improvement in
the condition of the people as a whole,
and from now on it is the welfare of
all the people that must be paramount
and not the interest of favored few
as it is now under our capitalistic sys-
| tenn.
| Let us, therefore, proceed to work
along these lines and to look forward
with confidence that by careful and in
telligent effort and research we shall
be able to provide and bring into OPP
Grafton an equitable system of indus
trial economics.
| Under system of Natural Econom-
les" several lines of business, now a
| necessity would cease to have place
within the new system, and would,
therefore, pass into oblivion along with
present money and private ownership
OF industries, and right here it may be
well to enumerate some of the pres
ent occupations that would find no
place in the new system.
All types of present insurance, mort
cages and liens, bonds and stocks,
| money loaning institutions, trust COM
panies, stock and other exchanges,
Workmen's compensation boards, poor
houses, and all other shelter and char
liable institutions. Also many penal in
situations would be empty for the rea-
son that the cause of and incentive to
crime would be so largely removed that
the necessity for criminal and other
courts would be so reduced that judges
and lawyers, police and military would
find their occupations almost gone.
Under the Natural Economic System
there could be no mortgages or inter-
est, therefore, no foreclosures as there
are now. 1t must, however, not be as
sumed that the trained people now
occupied in these reproductive lines
would be thrown out along with the
institutions now employing them; they
would all be automatically absorbed
into the industrial, executive and other
departments of the new system, and
their security throughout life would be
guaranteed along with every other class
of people and workers.
People occupying their own or rented
homes would continue to live in their
homes lndisturbed, as all homes and
other property would be automatically
released from all mortgages and other
liens and claims whatsoever, and it
would not be necessary or possible to
again incumber property, as is now
done under our private ownership sys-
tenn. The necessaries and comforts of
life, together with ample luxury, would
come to every man, woman and child
as heritage from nature, and it would
not be possible, as it now is, for the
few to exploit the many and deprive
them of their natural rights and
wealth.
1t is not necessary here to burden
our subject with evidence to prove
mans ability by his labor, intelligently
applied, to provide in abundance for
himself all that he needs for his happi-
ness, welfare and security, and since
his faithful and eternal partner, Old
Mother Earth, always plays square and
returns for his labor benefits far in
excess of his capacity to consume, he
