n the same way as they themselves do. This allows
them to look ahead and imagine various possible scenarios. They are also
aware of how they would want to be dealt with by others. (SR.)]

[Footnote 4102: That is what has happened during communism where men
worked as little as possible since the principle of equality made most
effort rest without reward.]

[Footnote 4103: The so-called "Centimes additionels" was an increase in
certain taxes to be paid to the communes and departments.]

[Footnote 4104: Rocquain, "L'Etat de la France au 18 Brumaire" (report
by Fourcroy, pp. 138, 166)": A sack of wheat worth 18 francs at Nantes
costs an equal sum for its cartage to Brest. I have seen carters
plodding along, seven or eight in a line, each with six or eight strong
horses dragging their vehicles and alternately helping each other, their
horses hauling their carts out of ruts into which they had got stuck...
In many places, I was grieved to see carts and wagons leaving the
high-road and traversing, in spaces from 100 to 200 yards wide, the
plowed ground, when each made his own road.... The carters sometimes
make only three or four leagues from morning to night."--Hence, a dearth
of provisions at Brest. "We are assured that the people have long been
on half-rations, or even quarter rations."--And yet, "There is now in
the river, at Nantes, from four to five hundred boats loaded with grain;
they have been there for months, and their number increases daily. Their
cargoes are deteriorating and becoming damaged."]

[Footnote 4105: Ibid., preface and summary, p.41 (on the dikes and works
of protection against inundations at Dol in Brittany, at Frejus, in
Camargue, in Lower Rhine, in Nord, in Pas-de-Calais, at Ostende and
Blankenberg, at Rochefort, at La Rochelle, etc.). At Blankenberg, a gale
sufficed to carry away the dike and let in the sea. "The dread of some
disaster which would ruin a large portion of the departments of the
Lys and of the Escaut kept the inhabitants constantly in a state of
frightful anxiety."]

[Footnote 4106: Hence the additional centimes to the tax on doors and
windows, the number of which indicates approximately the value of the
rent. Hence also the additional centimes to the personal tax, which
is proportionate to the rent, this being considered as the most exact
indication of domestic expenditure.]

[Footnote 4107: Hence the communal "additional centimes" to the tax on
business licenses.]
