Equality; R. L. Evans

terous ruthlessly to pull the short trees up to the height of the tall ones. If we did, it would mean their uprooting they would wither and die, as all things do unless they grow up by themselves from their own roots. And so, to those who would like to eliminate differences among men, it should be said that if it were possible to do so, progress would cease. Equality cannot therefore mean to bring all men low. It must mean opportunity for each man to rise to those heights to which his energies and abilities will take him-"and allow all men the same privilege"-to the end that progress may continue, and that thereby all will find benefit. Equality which means less than this is not equality at all-it is slavery. [78 ] PROPERTY RIGHTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS blJ paul of.
