a century, made a special study of
diseases of the heart I am a special

Whatsoever the laws of nature will
do for men or for men, conditions be
ing complied with, tney will do Jor
any and for all mankind. This natural-divine
principleof justice ultimates
in securing, unto all humans access
to electrical energy. If by employ
ing certain means any numan being
secures access to a certain quantity of
electrical energy, nature will grant all
other humans, who may comply with
the same conditions, access to a simi
lar amount of electrical energy.
Carefullj- distinguish between access
upon a basis of equality and equality
of division. You will then not only
have grasped the equitable operation
of the natural-divine principle of jus
tice; but you can likewise apply it
rationally "to the practical domain of
human government. No legislative or
other ; human flat can equalize, the
amount of wealth possessed by human
beings, or the degrees of wisdom in?
parted to them through birth and sub
sequent culture and" influences. The
term "equal'' employed m our declar
ation of independence, can not be con
strued as- referring to; equal division.
There can be equality without equal
division. Just human government must
secure unto all citizens access upon a
basis of egualityt to land, money and
transportation; as on account of their
nature and the7 pro visions of our, con
stitution, individuals can not create
and regulate this trinity of fundamen
tal economic factors. .-;
In reality "all hitherto warrinc econ
omic, reformers are brothers, seeking .
the application of justice to human af
fairs. The real - ultimate sought by
single tax reformers is that all hu
mans are entitled to access to moth
er earth upon a basis of equality, thus
abolishing speculation in land. Trans
portation reformers demand that all
should be enabled to secure access to
means of transportation upon a basis
of equality,-', no ' preferential rates or
favored treatment. Money, reformers
In reality desire that the producers and
owners of staple commodities should
secure access to money upon basis of
equality with those holding valid, in
struments calling for a flxed number
of dollars;' thus securing stability in
the general price level and opening the
door for the unlimited production of
staple commodities, them other forms
of created wealth of every character.
Socialists foolishly clamor that our
government must control commodity
production,, with all its complicated
factors.5 They set forth no practical
method for compensating present
holders of property or for conducting
industrial and agricultural Industries
under government control. They con.
tend that the formation of plundering
trusts is a purely natural process, Ig
noring the unquestioned fact that
these Inlquituous combines have in
variably had their Inception In and
maintain their reign of plunder by
means of unjust . human legislation.
We have never enjoyed the advantages
of Impartial land, monetary or trans
portation systems, economic factors
which are universally admitted to be
properly snbjert to equitable govern
ment control. Through Just regulation
of there economic fa tors, all mankind
would speedily be rna id to secure
ai conn to all means of production upon
a banl of eqnlltv, which would fa

heretofore the various camps of war

Bought by their own movements. I
contend that the few words "access
upon a basis of equality," sum up the
end sought by all economic reformers,
and dlsclone the true economic func

this grand truth Is received there will
come generous rivalry as to who can
devise the most moderate and consti

means of evolutionary provisions.
