FRANKLIN WAliSU, (hmnium of the United Stales
commission oC industrial relations, in his work on the
commission lias succeeded in unveiling the tact, that our
great benevolent foundations nro working on the same
collusive Jiucs as the great commercial institutions of the
country. These great so-called charitable or benevolent
foundations have aggregate resources of over one billion
dollars. "
Among the great oiYcs are those founded by "Rockefel
ler, Carnegie, Yauderbilt and Russell Sage. Thu support
of these foundations comes from the income Wf bonds and
stocks of different industries, and this means, of course,
from the profit on the labor employed.
Mr. "Walsh learned lhat these great foundations, like
the railroads, have an interlocking directorate, all being
controlled bv the same men and all traceable to the place
of business of our commercial lords Wall street. Go to
Rockefeller, thou fool, and learn wisdom!
Think of one billion dollars invested in philanthropy
and the influence it can exert in corrupting and influenc
ing public opinion 1 This is the most insiduous, damnable
influence that man can use, because it takes advantage of
human suffering and preys upon one of the noblest of
human traits gratitude.
If there is one svstem which more than another is cal
culated to debase, destrov and efface human aspiration
and intellectual libortv, it is that which seeks control of the
intellectual and spiritual part of man through tho needs
or the sufferings of thfc physical man.
It is the voice that says, ''Because I fed you when you
were hungry or gave you drink when you wcro thirsty,
your mind, your soul, you must give into my keeping and
your body to my service." And it is innncasureably in
famous because such an influence would blight the" gen
eration growing and to come.
Therein lies the reason that enabled a few noble minds
to prevent the granting of a federal charter to Mr. Rocke
feller's foundation. They realized tliat the granting of
such a charter meant the stamp of government approval.
They realized the enormous power it would exert, and that
it could be nscd to decide the destiny of the nation. If it
was found useful in maintaining the status quo, the billion
assets could iu two or three generations be increased to
five billions. q
Mr. "Walsh lias made. another discovery. He hasf ound
that the employing power of the United' States is almost
entirely invested in New York City and is almost entirely
subject to the will of Rockefeller. Plutocracy controls the
nation because it controls the industries that give the peo
ple work and also controls the charity the people must
depend upon when they are not permitted to work.
"Whether the laborer lives by toil or begging depends
upon one man and his associates. The- wage he receives
and the crust he bees must come from the same source. If
he wishes to escape this dependence he must flee the con
tinent. This' economic condition is the result of legislation
for Jialf a qqn.tury that had no other basis than a purely
commercial one. It is the product of party statesmen thatj
had no ideal other than party success acquired through
million dollar campaign funds given as the price of ex
plditing the masses, through protective tariffs and exor
bitant transportation charges. And yet tnerc arc those
who pray for a return to those conditions that enabled the
financiers of Wall street to gain their despotic control of
the lives of the American people.
Those who ask the restoration of the good old times of
robberv and plunder do so on the theory that if the people
.can be skinned some more, they may yet get their piece
ot hide.

AjMERTCAX cities are nil cities of magnificent distances
and proportions. "We scatter f)00,(XM), city dwellers
over an area that abroad would house 5,000,000, and the
realty speculator waxes fat.
Good thing! Spread them out morel -And one of the
chief advantages this added area gives sjthat at our sev
eral back doors we liave the opportunity to grow the
greater part of our living.
The average American city has enough idle and vacant
property in it to feed its population. A city lot, say 50 by
100 feet, will, if properly gardened, not only supply the
average family with vegetables for the spring and summer;
but with enough surplus to can for the winter time.
An idle block, if properly cropped and fertilized, and
cared for, will raise 400 bushels of potatoes; that means
$200; it means thousands of meals, and ' how many idle
blocks are there in Mcdford?
The owner of idle property should be Christian enough
to be willing to have his property farmed; potatoes and
corn and peas and beans are better than thistle and dock
and sunflower and briar. But if ho is a grouch and a turnip
heart and a manger dog then the city should demand that
ho either make some use of hjs. property or allow those who
will use it to do so. Instead of an anti-weed ordinance,
let's havo a potato and pea and bean ordinance.
And tho biggest, best part of it all is that the hour you
spend beloro breakfast aim the hour 3'ou spend in the twi
light in your garden, and that's all you need spend, will
bring you health and peace and independence of spirit.
If you haven't started, it's a good time now to get out
your hoc and be happy!
