Now see how this works out. Those engaged in “gainful occu pations” are divided into many groups, according to the work they do. Let us take two or three of these groups to illustrate the effects of Life Insurance, as a source of capital, upon the economic life of the country. Consider first the railroads. They need money with which to carry on their vast and ever-expanding busi ness, so important to the prosperity of the country. If they cannot get capital, they cannot buy cars and en gines and build stations and main tain their tracks. For financing new equipment and track improvement the railroads must sell their stocks »nd bonds. Rii ht here come on the scene our good citizens who have gotten together in their life insur ance companies, money enough to buy two billion dollars of these rail road stocks and bonds. Two Billions of Capital When you think this thing through it looks like as good a system of self-help as the world contains. But beyond this it helps other individ uals and classes and groups through out the nation. It is a per feet ex ample of ideal cooperation. This simple statement of facts, which anyone can easily verify, throws a good deal of light on what some earnest, well-meaning folks Every poultry man in Oregon, ns among us call ‘‘the menace of capi well as every advocate of coopera tal.” tion, should get behind the state I.et us consider, for a moment, poultry association, pull it over the what “capital” actually is. Before crisis period and mnko it the renl man emerged from the earliest sav marketing association of the stntc. age state there was probably no cap ital. Our first ancestors lived as best they could “by the day." If a man killed a bird he ate it; if he found nothing for a week he could starve. After a while he learned to preserve food, and at a later day to cultivate grain, so he could put some thing aside for future needs. If everybody saved the same things, there was no chance to exchange goods, for everybody would have a surplus of what nobody else wanted. As civilization advanced and wants multiplied, barter became possible. One man could exchange some ex tra corn for another's piece of pot tery or hit of woven cloth. Those who had nothing to offer but the la bor of their hands were in a bad way : at best they could get food »nd shelter for the day. Slavery was one institution where the worker needed no capital, and without cap ital, that is what these workers be» came—just slaves. As soon as the worker could be paid in something he could exchange for other things—he began to taste the joy of independence. It made no difference whether he was paid in copper or silver or in paper—pro vided people would accept it at a stable value. If this worker spent every cent he Silk and wool sox in all col received for his daily needs or com ors, priced forts, he was little better off than be fore, except that, as he could bar gain, he could get food or shelter of better quality. The first man who did not spend all he made, who put aside ever so little for another day, was free! He had learned to save. Among the forty million policy- holders are many railroad men, in cluding ail grades from the president down. If tlie railroads could not get capital these railroad men would either be out of a job or would have to work for reduced wages and sal aries. But these very men have helped through their investment in Lite insurance to create a fund which supplies their roads with two billion dollars of needed capital. So they help themselves twice over: first, their life insurance policies have purchased security and happi ness for themselves and their fami lies; second, through the investment of a part of this insurance fund in railroad securities, they have helped to finance the very railroads which provide them with their livelihood. Now, give a thought to the farmer. He has *■“■ joined ~2 ‘ with many other far- Becomes a Capitalist tners in buying Life Insurance, He W hen he put these savings to and his fellow farmers need new some other use, so that instead of be capital for buildings, for more land ing eaten or worn they were in and equipment.
