In the cradle and at the grave, peasant and prince, pauper and millionaire, are equal. Nature makes no distinction in favor of either. Her mandates all must obey. It is only in human society that the caste built on the rotten foundation of money is found. Only mature human nature pays servility to wealth. The problem of civilization is to give throughout life, to every human being, free access to all the pleasure and joy, the privileges and opportunities, of that wonderful and amazing world, which the democracy of nature spreads for the happy bewilderment of youthful eyes, whether those eyes open in cottage or mansion. When ones best thought, energy and action are given to the solution of this problem he is playing bis right part in the world."

John A. Simpson, president of the National Farmers Union, concludes a brilliant radio address as follows. His words are significant. Read them: I want to call your attention to the two systems of running the affairs of government and business. One is known as the capiThe capitalistic talistic system, and the other is the system is of the devil's own making. It has as its foundation principles, selfishness greed, avarice; it leads to theft, robbery, murder, suicide and war: It operates for profit in order that it may feed the craving for more than all its victims have. It encourages everything that is evil; it creates in man the desire to become a selfish, greedy, inhuman creature, that even ceases to be an image of his creator. It plants the seed in the human heart that makes such a person want more than his share of the good things of life. He wants to become a millionaire, and when he has reached that point he wants ten millions, and when he is worth ten millions his craving is greater than ever and he wants a hundred millions. When he reaches that point he desires a billion dollars, ten times more than when he wanted a hundred million, and he cares not how he gets it. His plans may mean hungry women, starving children, but he cares no more about them than the ants in the dust.' His wole ambition is to become a billionaire. , The system is based on service instead of profit. It hat as its a tributes, unselfishness and the brotherhood of man. It is of Christian origin instead of the devil. I say to you that no man who is a Christian has a right to want more than the average could have. I also just is emphatically say no man has a right to want less for himself and family than the average could have. The bible is clear on this question. In the 5th chapter of James, there is a fearful chagre against the ambition to be rich. The first three verses read: Go to, now ye rich men, weep and howl for the miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eateYour gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire." 1 want to give you an illustration, showing the difference between rile and the capitalistic systems. As an illustration of me system I'takf the family table, where father, mother, sons ana daughters, and a few friends seat themselves to eat. On this table we find soup and greens, also the delicacies and goodies. Every in spirit. They are Christians. member 'of that group is They do not want more than their part of all the things on the table. In fact, if someone at the table should become capitalistic in his methI will take all the goodies, thd rest of ods and reach out and say: you can have the soup and greens," he would start a riot. The others gathered around that table would not stand for such greed and avarice. But how do we behave at the national table? One hundred and twenty million people surround the table on which lie the net profits of the year, ninety billion dollars. Under the capitalistic system 4 of the people around that national table reach out with hoggish, greedy hands and say: We will take 80 of these net profits, and can have 20 to divide among you, and tire pity of the you 96 thing is that the 96 do not rise up in righteous indignation and refuse to let the 4 do it. My radio audience, the job for us is to do our part in ridding the one hundred and twenty million common people of this country of the twenty thousand leeches, who through the interest and profit system bleed white each year the producers of this nation. It is our job to see that there is a more equitable distribution of the net income of the people of this nation at the close of each year. It is our job to see that those who live by clipping coupons shall have their swollen fortunes clipped through income and inheritance taxes. It is pur job to make the other fellow take his hands out of the farmers pocket and keep them out. It is our job to carry to victory the cause that stands for equity, justice and principles of the Golden Rule to the end that there shall lie established in this nation a real brotherhood of man. If h man, or a set of men, should run amuck and walk forth into society wrecking homes; destroying farms; sweeping away wealth; evicting people from homes; forcing millions out of employment; starving women and children; what would we do? The forces .of law and order would be set in motion and the men would be hunted down and restrained or punished to the limit Today there is an element in society known as the bankers who are tbe kings of the capitalistic system. These and those closely allied with them constitute the which handles high officials like men used to handle slaves. They are not so numerous but they are They rule as literally as any tyrant king ever ruled. And these are the ones who have caused ps all our present troubles. They brought on the depression and have kept prolonging it. They are the direct cause of all unemployment, all the business depression and the general chaos which exists. They are as responsible for the wreck as any human being can be responsible for a deed. And yet we point them out as examples of success, permit them to go on in the same old way. If this continues God only knows what the end will be. will overcome these conditions and the sooner the people see this and vote for its establishment the better it will be for them. But the leek of interest on the part of the people is more if you or less appalling. Citizens, you must unite for wish to preserve the rights to life, liberty and. the pursuit of happiness. inter-nation- super-governme- nt TO n. - HERE IS WHAT WE ARE NOW COMING TO NEW YORK Lawyers want difficult abstractions, dentists prefer realistic landscapes, doctors abhor any disfiguring of the human figure, haberdashers like the nudes and at least one zoologist likes to gaze on complicated machinery in pigments.

Some of the richest lives the world has ever known have been preoccupied, but at least those who have had a poverty of material wealth. Some of the greatest blessings ever bestowed upon humanity have come from the great souls who struggled against great odds in a material world without the wealth of gold and silver and property. al HIM THAT HATH SHALL BE GIVEN IN ABUNDANCE (Harold Jovond, Ogden.) Please observe how the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is using your money to "reconstruct business. The Missouri Pacific railway owed the Morgans and the Kuhn, Locbs and the Guaranty Trust Company $11,700,000. These money barons insisted on payment, regardless of the roads ability to pay. So the finance corporation decided to lend the road $5,850,000 to pay half the loan, in an effort to pacify the billionaire bondholders. The interstate commerce commission, mysteriously developing a conscience, protested against taking money from overburdened taxpayers to add to the gold hoard of the Morgans. But that protest was quickly squelched by General Dawes, at words and the head of the corporation. He said a few the I. Q C. withdrew its protest. Then the corporation approved a loan riot of $5,850,000, but of $12,800,000 to the road and we have a suspicion wholl get the money. When the finance corporation scheme wa rushed through congress, it was on the theory that it would save the country. Apparently, it is just to be used to save the Morgans and their international banker pals. To him that hath shall be given; from him that hath not shall be taken away, even that which he hath. To the plundcrbund, with its billions, shall be handed more; from the average citizen, with his dimes and quarters, shall be flichcd even these to add their trifle to the golden throne on which sits King Morgan. Let us arise and sing a few hosannas.

The greatest in the round world is in England. Besides having a membership of half a million and doing an annual business of nearly $40,000,000, this cooperative was able to loan to one of the English cities last year the sum of $400,000. oil conIn the state of Indiana there are now 65 A 25,000 acre cocerns, and also a number of farm operative farm concern is beginning operations in Minnesota.

One of the largest has been operating in Louisiana for nearly a dozen years. Soon they will be springing up everywhere. And these will cure the depression, at least for the members. The Natural Development Association of Utah, also a is growing by leaps and bounds and will shortly be introduced in every important city in the state. We sent the news of the organization, incorporation and operation of this association to the daily press, but not a line did they give it, and it is one of the livest organizations in the west. It is the fruits of And why shouldnt there be ages of evolution. In the early ages individuals warred against each and joined together as cliques or clans. other? Then they These fought each other until they got sense enough to and make cities. Cities waged wars against each other until they and formed counties.

People are blinded by the old and worse than useless partisanism. They walk along in the even tenor of their ways and being, in the great majority of cases, upright and honest, and neighborly, they find it difficult to believe that they peace-lovin- g and their government are being undone bp such a monstrous power.
