OOOOOOOOOOQOOOOOOO Ruinous Waste of Capitalism. Q Q l, l g 9 DEPARTMENT. % i g l 9, Q The controlling spirit of the capitalist system is to convert everything into profit. We say everything adviscdly. .Prof- it is the god'of capitalistidolatay. All else is secondary. The capitalist eve is so trained that it sees no majesty in a green-crowned monarch of the forest, but only so many feet of lumber, no beauty in a field of perfumed clover or waving grain, only so many bushels of yield; that is to say, in the final analy- sis, so many dollars, or, as Shakespeare puts it, So much “ vile trash” to com- plete the process of mental degeneracy and moral death. The pursuit of profit not only hardens the heart .and softens the brain, but it is utterly destructive of ideals. The vic- tim lives wholly in the present, if he can be said to live at all; and so coin- plctcly absorbed is he in his quest, that he is as oblivious of the great universe and its myriad wonders as is the pcstifâ€" erous mosquito that fattens upon the blood it drains from its hapless victims. As late as 1876 the western plains were still covered with bufialo, the numâ€" ber being estimated at six million head. It was about this time the ruthless slaughter began, and within a few years the bison, king of the plains and noblest of American game ai'iiinals, were practi- cally exterminated. Under the dominâ€" ion of nature and the red man the buffa- lo would have abidcd forever and fur- nislied' food and raimcnt for all future generations; but, like the trees of the forest, ho had to succumb to the ravages of capitalism, and thus are we made to behold the difference between savagch and civilization. ' The great forests are now being de- pleted to gorge the maw of capitalism with profit. With the ferocity of a cyâ€" clone the noblest groves are attacked, the finest trccs cut down and twice the number destroyed; and when the heart of the forest has been cut out, lire com- pletes the work of ruin and devastation. in this frenzy to extort immediate profit and swift returns, there is absolutely no thought for the future. The cxploitcrs who strip the earth naked to glut their passion for profit do not dream that they are, robbing future generations, and, in fact, so far as their ravenous spirit proâ€" vails, murdering their own oli‘spring. The wanton waste of capitalism dolics all attempts at computation. In the name of production it tlQSlJl'0yS the sour- ces from which it draws its substance, and iii the name of economy it practises the most reckless and criminal waste. To glut its own abnormal appetite is capitalism‘s first and last concern, and when some extraordinary protest ponc- tratcs its pacliyt'lcrin, its bacliaiiual rc- tort is “ after me the deluge." The earth was wisely made to yield its harvests in rich abundance for all time and for all the children of men. But capitalism, now at tho high-water mark of its power, has laid violciit hands 7-.. ., . _. "1.-.... ,..... \OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOfl 5 upon Mother Nature, and therefore S.)- o cialism has come to the rescue, and in .good time the vandal horde will be put to flight, and the glad earth given over" to all the sons and daughters of man.- â€"â€"Appeal to Reason, o--o 'â€"The Reason Why. There is an interesting and suggest; ive editorial in Forestry and Irrigation for September, under the heading of “ A Norway Town Without Taxes,” from which we quote the opening paragraph, as follows: . . _ “ The town of Falcido, Norway, im-‘ poses no taxes on its lucky inhabitants," says the London, Eng, Bystander. “ Duâ€" ring the last thirty yours the authorities at Falcidc have Sultl over $5,000,000 worth of trees, and by judicious ropla‘ii- ting, have provided for a similar income. every thirty years. lll consequence of this source of commercial wealth, there are no taxes in Faloidc, and local rail-- ways and telephones are free as well as- educatiouwand drinks, on the king‘s birthday!” Commenting upon the foregoing the- editor very aptly says: “ How Utopian the suggestion, at first“ blush, of a ‘town without taxes!’ Yet tlicoxplaiiation is simple. Instead of permitting all its forest lands to become private property, to be cut over, burned over,andconvcrtcd info a desert, this town has simply retained an area for its own use, and has administered the forest » therein in accordance with forestry principals. In consequence the commu- nitycujoys a permanent income from a permanent estate, an income, further- more, sullicicntly largc'to render taxa-r tion unnecessary.” This is a clear and unanswerable rcas- . u Olllllg‘ so far as it goes. It is the appli-y cation of common sense to an economic‘ proposition, and nothing more is re- quircd, Not a whit less practical is the- application of the same principle to the) whole realm of economic activities. The simple question which is firefâ€" crable, the private ownership of they oarth and the monstrous perversion of nature for personal gain, or collectivor ownership for the equal benefit and hap- piness of all ? The paragraph above quoted from a. capitalist publication is immensely sug- gestive. There is food for thought in it for the many who are looking half-r llcartcdly toward Socialism, while still supporting the criminal misrule of the: capitalist class. Quite pertinent and logical is the question propoundcd by the editor far-i ther along in the same article. “But. why," he asks, “ sli’buld the idea of pub- lic property, publicly owned and adminâ€" istered for the public benefit, appear so- unusual and surprising ? ” Why, indeed! Simply because the- capitalist press and pulpit, its politici~ ans and educators and all its other cOunt-loss influences arc in alliance to keep the people in ignorance of the truths of Socialism and the crimes of capitalism. But in spite of all these powerful? agencies of darkness, the people are; awakening, the light is breaking, and the day of deliverance i'lrawcth nighâ€"111M. Killing Children for Profits. Mrs. Ella Rocvc Bloor, of Philadol» pliia, writer aiid lecturer on industrial topics, who is investigating child labor conditions in the factories of western. Pennsylvania, declares that hundreds oi’ little children under tlic'lcgal ago are». employed in a chimney factory at Charâ€" loroi, .l’a. “An army of little girls came flocking; from ail directions to the factories this morning,” said Mrs. llloot‘. “ They work from 7 a. in. until (i p. m.. when little boys take their placos and work until 221.1“.
