HISTORY OF CAPITALISM. Dur ing medieval times when the world was shrouded in darkness the wealth production centered around the land and its adjunct, the serf. Consequent ly there were only two classes of so ciety: The landlord, who not only owned the land but made the laws, and the serf, who belonged to the soil and knew nothing beyond tilling, the land. But as the rays of science pene trated the gloom a change took place. Schools were established, where the serf's children might learn some thing besides digging in the field. Gradually a new class of people ap peared. They were not landlords, for they owned no land, and they were not 6erfs, for they were not chained to the soil. They were a middle class and since they were free to travel from place to place they became a trading class. This new class increased in num bers and wealth until the feudal lord a became alarmed and began to pass Jf laws curtailing their activities. In spite of these restrictions they con tinued to increase in wealth and power until they equaled or surpassed the landlords in the lawmaking bod A ies. Then began the bitter struggle between the two factions. The land lord, wishing to keep intact his means of wealth production (the land and the serf) endeavored to pass laws placing heavy taxes on factories, stores, etc. And the middle man, wishing to extend his means of wealth production, hoped to force the feudal lord to improve his land by placing a heavy tax on undeveloped land. Before the close of the 18th cen tury the middle class had triumphed and became the ruling faction. And now, with the opposition of the feu dal lord practically abolished, they were able to work out their own sal vation. And so was born capitalistic society. As time passed under the new re gime a new class of society was born, which was not chained to the soil like the serf of old, and yet were not their own masters. And as the cap italist had more work than he could do himself he employed these men to help him and paid them wages. The machine process began to take the place of hand labor, and as one man operating a machine could do as much work as five or six men the cap italist grew richer and richer as the machine became more and more nearly perfect As the wealth in creased on one side there was an in crease in poverty on the other. Today the land plays little part in the wealth production. The capitalist owns the tools and the worker the labor power. The vital question today does not concern taxation, but wages, for 80 per cent of the population own noth ing assessable. Yet there is a group of people trying to draw us into the argument on whether vacant lots or skyscrapers should be taxed more. Now I am a member of that class which comprises 90 per (lent of so ciety, I own neither vacant property nor department stores, and I do not know any of my class who does. Whether the ruling class decides to tax ranches, palaces, steam yachts or self-starting limousines most doe? IbMMhMiUiteiiitai
