Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


"It's a fair deal. No farmer risks anything. With the food he may grow
and he and his family may consume, plus a cash salary of a thousand a
year, he is certain, good seasons and bad, stupid or intelligent, of
at least a hundred dollars a month. The stupid and the inefficient
will be bound to be eliminated by the intelligent and the efficient.
That's all. It will demonstrate intensive farming with a vengeance.
And there is more than the certain salary guaranty. After the salary
is paid, the adventure must yield six per cent, to me. If more than
this is achieved, then the entire hundred per cent, of the additional
achievement goes to the farmer."
