A New System
(Conolmlcd from first Jmrc)
nriscs in ninny people's mlmls. The
answer to tlmt question is probably
best 1ctornilnc(l by each intlivitliiRl
for himsoU after tine consideration
of the different phases of this sub
ject. Overproduction docs not menu,
ns ninny nrc outlines (throiiRh non
npplication of thought to the sub
ject) inclined to believe, tlmt there
nrc more of the necessary needs of
the people produced than their de
mand for supply.
The true mcnulng of the word
overproduction is the reverse of the
above.
In the true meaning of the word,
overproduction docs not exist. The
eople arc not producing mote than
they enn use, but arc producing
more than they can enrn money to
buy back again. Their wages are
so low (.to speak from a general
and conservative standpoint) that
it takes n man about five days to
earn enough to buy back what he
earns in one day. livery few years
the nations of the earth exper
ience what is known ns n pan
ic. The panic is the direct result
of the people producing more than
they cam money to rebuy.
How, then, you ask, arc you go
ing to discard this terrible cvil?The
answer is simple and decisive: Ily
giving the people nil thnt their mon
ey earns.
The promoter, in companies or
ganized under the Honvillc System
cannot dispose of his stock in order
to "defray his expenses," ns is the
custom under the old system. The
promoter's share under the new
system is ten per cent, ns ngniust 50
or 60 in the old. This ten per
cent, of the company's stock, or
promotor's slock, is the only com
pensation that the promoter re
ceives under the Honvillc System.
Tills ten nor cent, is iinveriieil ns
the rest of the company's stock, by
the bylaws of the "System." It
is uon-trntisfernble and tioiirtssiun
nblc. The oulv menus wherein he
(the promotor) can obtain any pe
cuninry returns and benefit from
his interest in the comtmny is thru
dividends helm? trnid on the Name

in its possibilities liuforc he would
ever attempt to promote a company
under this system.
The risks and chances for the
promoter nre fur greater than for
the investor. The promotor must
