Satirical anti-trust story. A man obtains ownership of the wind and requires everyone using the wind to pay royalties to his company, which makes the stockholders immensely rich. The trust then demands a royalty for breathing, which, in the name of the sacredness of private property, a court approves. In the end a revolution forces the end of the trust.
