In securing this much for them we believe that we are laying the foundation for their happiness.
Each member, as they sign their names promising to keep the laws and rules of the society, must remember that they are binding themselves to protect the life, liberty and happiness of all members. As the society holds all wealth in trust for the members its laws are enforced to protect their interests.
Each member is expected to know the value of wealth in comparison with money. They must recognize that money is only a medium of exchange and that the shares of the society represent their wealth earned by labor, and that the society is the only source in which labor can be protected sufficiently to ensure homes and a pension.
In joining the society all must agree to the following rules and regulations and in no wise can any become members without doing so:
I hereby promise to keep all rules laid down by the wealth producing and wealth distributing society.
In using the society’s property in the pursuance of labor or pleasure, its waterways or conveyances, or anything in connection with said society, I promise to protect it from law suits or any other unnecessary expense or trouble. I take my own risk as to accidents and will in no wise injure the said society by appealing to the law of the country.
I hereby agree to take the society’s shares, scrip, produce, or other commodities in exchange for my labor or money expended in shares, and will in no case exact coin from said society.
I hereby take oath that all money I place with the society is legally mine.
I also agree to give up to the society my shares either bought with money or labor in case of any law suit brought against me. I do this to protect said society.
I agree to abide by the decision of the officers in charge of the society in all cases of disagreement.
