﻿T-Bone Looks Over Current Solutions And Gives His Own

Woman’s “solution for unemploymend armies” is quints and quads. New Deal leans heavy to quacks, quirks, and quills. Old Deal offers quoits. I forget just now who offered quid pro quo. Senate wants to quizz. Still others otter quips, quarts, and queens. Quaint indeed how these quixotic queus quickly quit, and the trouble remains as before—subject only to the deposition of industrial despotism and that for cause—inefficiency.
We cannot afford to permit autocratic clowns in high places. Their only solution is to send the employed to Ethiopia. A country that has unemployment should not attempt to civilize another country.
When pretty much all hands were working it wasn’t much of a trick to read off spending money to parasites, professionals, politicians, and plutocrats— but now, since improved machinery has reduced the size of the working class without reducing the aize of enjoying class, it is getting more difficult everyday to find spondulics for simple government consumption. It is believed government will have to turn more and more to the owners of the improved machinery for its chicken-feed. The government fell heir to ten to tewnty million dislocated workers from the industry, and it can’t slap them with a tax. Hence ten to twenty million more free boarders. That’s what we get for letting industrial buzzards perform as self-confessed industrial wizzards. We’re crazy!
Knowledge is power—horse-power (h.p.) The eye tells us that the trailer pushes the auto, so deceptive are looks. Knowledge tells us the auto is pulling the trailer. Facts are facts and there is little other evidence.
Looks are deceptive—so when we see an industrial over-lord with his hand in Labor’s pockets, we must not think he is slipping Labor a piece of change.
Now here I have an idea. Everybody knows the power of a wedge—it divides a thing in two parts. Again and again it does it and finally all resistance is broken.
The corporate body of industrial employers can be broken the same way. Two can play the game. The wedge accomplishes its purpose by obtaining a center position between the two parts. How can we gain the center? We gain the center by building the structure of a new society within the shell of the old. All else is repair jobs—eternal repair.
