WHY THE UNITED STATES IS SO WEALTHY The London Daily Mail comments as follows on the prosperity of the United States. Agitators demanding vast public expenditure on their pet projects frequently tell us that England "is rolling in wealth," that is "the richest country in the world." That was, perhaps true, decades ago, but matters are very different now. England is poor, very poor, if compared with the United States. The United States are fabulously wealthy. Although they possess only about one-twentieth the population of the world, they have half the worlds wealth and more than half the worlds gold, diamonds, pearls and precious stones of every kind. The true wealth of a nation can best be measured by the condition of the masses. The prosperity of the American workers is almost unbelievable. More or less unskilled men, such as carters, milkmen, builders, laborers, etc., earn 45s per day. Vast numbers of skilled workers earn 1,000 pounds and more per year. The assertion that America's wealth belongs to the few, that the high cost of living counterbalances the high wages prevailing is incorrect. The white population of the Republic is a little more than twice as large as that of this country. However the United States have not merely twice the number of telephones and motor cars that there are in this country but they have fifteen times as many. To every three families there are two telephones and two motor cars. Millions of unskilled workers have not only roomy houses which belong to them but have a telephone, a motor car and other luxuries of which respect of an utterly insufficient output. He recognizes that capital and labor saving machine are not his enemies, but his friends. Hence the American worker can afford a motor car and other things in this paradise of trade unionism, of Socialism, and of ca' canny are the privilege of the rich and the well to do. WHEN BOLSHEVISM FAILED Most social theories touted as modern by revolutionary reformers are really reactionary doctrines tried and discarded by earlier generations. This is true of communism as being practiced by the bolshevists today, and which has brought such distaster in it wake that if the Russian people were permitted the slightest freedom it would be cast aside. This year marks the centennial of applied bolshevism in America. The year Lafayette began his farewell tour of the United States witnessed an experiment in bolshevism on the largest scale ever attempted until Russia worn out by war and revolution, was seized by an insignificant minority of demagogues and doctrinales and made the experiment station of a philosophy which leaves human nature out of account and discards that motive of private possession which is the explanation of all human progress. The great American experiment was launched in 1824 by Robert Owen, the father of English socialism, at New Harmony, on the Wabash river, 60 miles above its confluence with the Ohio. There Robert Owen, who had won world wide fame as the most successful cotton manufacturer in England and a social reformer, purchased an estate of 60,000 acres, with a substantial town built by a colony of ter thousands tion, was still not changed in which have suced of Owen's New which even his fanaticism and carry to a success. Only the rope-onet have kept in Russia. The estedness which takings would wield and efficiency as for one's own is only a hypo-fanatical delusion.

S "This party weather and th clouds that arr The white population of the Republic is a little more than twice as large as that of this country. However the United States have not merely twice the number of telephones and motor cars that there are in this country but they have fifteen times as many. To every three families there are two telephones and two motor cars. Millions of unskilled workers have not only roomy houses which belong to them but have a telephone, a motor car and other luxuries of which the English working man scarcely dream. Before the war England's savings came to about four hundred million pounds per year. Although the American people are terribly extravagant, their savings are estimated to come to two billion seven hundred million pounds per year. Last year the American people spent on motor cars and trucks alone seven hundred and fifty million pounds. If we add the expenditures on garages, etc., the motor car expenditure last year exceeded one billion pounds. It is frequently stated that the United States owe their vast wealth to the possession of their great natural resources, to the possession of a fruitful agricultural plain, extensive forests rich mines, etc. That explanation is fallacious. Every student of American economics is aware that the bulk of America's vast income is furnished not by the farms, mines and forests, but by the factories and workshops. The United States are foremost in the world, not only by the productivity of their wheat fields, cotton fields, coal mines, iron mines, forests, etc., but also by the output of their manufacturing industries. With the existing arrangements this country can produce 12,000,000 tons of steel per year. That figure has never been reached. The United States can produce at least 55,000,000 tons of steel per year. They produce far more than half the world's steel and the products made of steel. Among other things they produce about 90 per cent of the world's motor cars, both in their own country and in other establishments abroad. In the city of New York alone vastly more building takes place than in the whole of the United Kingdom. The textile industries of the Republic consume considerably more cotton than the whole of this country. In the production of goods made from copper, brass, rubber, wood, leather, etc., The great American experiment was launched in 1824 by Robert Owen, the father of English socialism, at New Harmony, on the Wabash river, 60 miles above its confluence with the Ohio. There Robert Owen, who had won world wide fame as the most successful cotton manufacturer in England and a social reformer, purchased an estate of 60,000 acres, with a substantial town built by a colony of German religious communists, homes factories, vineyards and farms. There the religionists, acting in strict obedience to an autocrat leader, had accumulated a million dollars in a decade of activity. Owen's philosophy, which he set forth in his "New World" was a complete anticipation of modern bolshevism. He sought the overthrow of the church, marriage and the "capitalistic" state, not by violence, however, but through peaceful agitation. He bought this vast estate for the purpose of showing the world how well the plan would work. His announcement of the great experiment attracted world wide attention. Owen delivered two lectures while enroute to the scene of his ambitious ffort, in the hall of the House of Representatives at Washington, with the President, the cabinet and most of the members of Congress as his auditors. Owen had a sublime faith in the practicability of his scheme. Robert Owen did not attempt to practice his bolshevism upon the general run of humanity. He invited to join the colony those who were in sympathy with his purposes. They came a thousand strong from almost every state in the union and from every country in the north of Europe. Owen brought to New Harmony a collection of scholars and savants such ability that the educational experiments they launched at New Harmony outlived the failure of the social experiment and affected American educational development deeply. The scheme of common property proved after some months of experiment during which Owen wasted a fortune a complete failure. It turned out that people would not work even under the leadership of the greatest captain of industry of his time, without the incentive of direct personal reward.

In the city of New York alone vastly more building takes place than in the whole of the United Kingdom. The textile industries of the Republic consume considerably more cotton than the whole of this country. In the production of goods made from copper, brass, rubber, wood, leather, etc., America's superiority is overwhelming. In view of these facts Cobden's prophecy "England is, and always will remain, the workshop of the world," is rediculous. Why are the Americans foremost in the world, not only in the output of food and raw products, but also in that of manufactured goods? The reason is obvious to any student of economic condition on both sides of the Atlantic. England, which used to be the stronghold of individualism and of efficiency, has become a stronghold of socialism. Owing to socialistic influence ca' canny has become universal. The suicidal policy of restricting output has led to hostility to labor saving machinery. The result is that the average Amrelican produces as much as three English workers. Goods must be consumed. They are consumed and enjoyed chiefly by the working masses. Production being three times as great in the United States as over here workers receive not merely three times as much money but receive three times as much real wages in the form of goods which they can buy. Hence the American workers are infinitely better clothed and housed than the British workers. The American worker recognizes that prosperity consists in an abundance of useful goods and nothing else, and that such abundance cannot be created by insisting high wages in The scheme of common property proved after some months of experiment during which Owen was a fortune a complete failure. It turned out that people would not work even under the leadership of the greatest captain of industry of his time, without the incentive of direct personal reward. The community became a debating society which was constantly in session evolving schemes for superintending the millennium of changes in the constitution of the organization, and of the dozen separate communistic societies into which it soon split. There was constant suspicion on the part of every communist that he was doing more than his share, and getting less than his proper reward. In the end New Harmony became the most discordant community in the country. Private business began to make its appearance and within two years communism was as dead as a dried mackerel. Robert Owen mournfully concluded that humanity had not been sufficiently educated in the principles of communism to understand and apply them. His brilliant son, Robert Dale Owen, said the trouble was human nature had not yet been exercised from human beings. Emerson said that Owen's difficulty was that he supposed human beings could be made over into something they were not and never could be by mechanical process. During the continuance of the Indiana experiment, some 25 similar colonies were founded in the United States on the same principles. Twenty years later there was a revival of communism in the United States under the name of Fourierism, Brook Farm being the most notable experiment. All of these communistic colonies collapsed. Owen found that human nature, af- ANAHEIM GAZETTE ENTER ANOTHER RAINMAKER Since the opening of the conservation campaign in charge of Power Supervisor H. G.

Says his sponsor: “This party knows more about weather and the action of the moisture clouds that arrange themselves over the Sierra, caused by the intense heat of the desert, to attract the gulf storms that ordinarily move in a north easterly direction. “This is not guess work; if conditions are right we will be able to place sufficient water in your watershed to obtain the required amount. “We would be willing to sign a contract setting forth the conditions and start work immediately. If you don’t get the water, you are out nothing. If we are successful you pay us a nominal sum.” Mr. Butler has turned the offer over to the Edison company, which owns Huntington Lake. Without a doubt it would erect an imposing statute to any rainmaker who at this moment should bring the liquid manna from heaven.
