"But these Targos, except a few they are our own people. And they too are armed. We cannot fight them; we cannot kill them our own people." "We may have to," said the Chemist. "But you see, I did not realize, I could not believe the extent to which this Targo could sway the people. Nor did I at first realize what evils would result if his ideas were carried out.
Of that, generally more than half lies idle most of the time. The Targos wish to have this land divided among the citizens. They claim also that most of the city organizations do not produce as large a dividend as the Targos could show under their own management. They have many other grievances that there is no reason for me to detail."
"Why not let them try out their theories in some city?" suggested the Big Business Man. "They are trying them," the Chemist answered. "There was a revolution in Orlog about six months ago. Several of its officials were assassinated almost the first murders we have ever had. The Targos took possession of the government a brother of this man you saw this morning became leader of the city.
Twice, some months ago, he was arrested and reprimanded; the last time with a warning that a third offence would mean his death." "What is he after?" asked the Very Young Man. "The Targos, as they are called, demand principally a different division of the land. Under the present system, approximately one-third of all the land is in the hands of the government.
And we brought him to the court you saw." "It is a serious situation," said the Doctor. "I had no idea " "We can handle it we must handle it," said the Chemist. "But as Lylda says, we cannot kill our own people only as a last desperate measure." "Suppose you wait too long," suggested the Big Business Man. "You say these Targos are gaining strength every day. You might have a very bad civil war."
And it is bad, very bad." "The truth is," added the Chemist, "your coming, while it gives us unlimited possibilities for commanding the course of events, at the same time has precipitated the crisis. Naturally no one can understand who or what you are. And as Lylda says, the Targos undoubtedly are telling the people you come to ally yourself with me for evil.
Women's testimony is discredited, often by concerted lying on the part of men witnesses. "Many families are leaving Orlog leaving their land and their homes deserted. In other cities where the Targos threaten to gain control the same thing is happening. Most of these refugees come to Arite. We cannot take care of them; there is not enough land here."
