The
legislation of the government has been directed rather to the protection of the
rights of money and property than to the best good of the citizen.
The
law protects the man who enriches himself through the foreclosures of mortgages.
It does not protect the sacred right of the farmer to live a decent life and to
earn a decent living.
A
struggle for existence is not a decent living. A man or woman or child may die
of starvation in a city teeming with plenty. Only human life is concerned.
The
people of the United States based their laws on those of England . It is not many
generations ago, that in England , the law exacted a life for the theft of a loaf
of bread. It is nothing to the law. A human being to sustain life steals a loaf
of bread or lump of coal. Immediately the power of the law is invoked to protect
the rights of property but it did not protect the right of the human being to
live.
People
do not seem to realize to what an extent our universities are being run to suit
the views of the millionaires and corporations of the country.
