do not pay their full membership. In
addition there are $50 city central

the form ''pinda" is also found as We'll

Not Arbitrary Dictum.
But Natural Law

Of every new statute upon the sub
ject. The literature of the period
from the statute of laborers (1350) to
the repeal Of the conspiracy act
(1S24. is continuous record of the
failure to govern wages by authority.
The development of economic thought
and the substitution of scientific for
authoritative and coercive methods of
dealing with sociological questions.
has given us the key to this failure.
We now know. as the schoolmen in
the middle ages and the politicians
of the eighteenth and a large part of
the nineteenth century did not, that
wages are a social product; that the
price Of service. like the price Of
every other marketable quantity in
society, Is primarily determined by
what it costs to furnish It. This
means that instead of wages being an
arbitrary quantity to be fixed By the
master or the magistrate. or by the
mere demand and supply of laboreTs.
they are really governed by the social
standard of living OF the wage class.
It is not even an individual matter:
it is beyond the power of the individ-
ual Iaborer to regulate his own wages,
just as it is beyond the power of the
individual to regulate the price of his
own product.-Prof George Gunton.

Nevertheless the races next summer
are sure to attract widespread inter-

MILLIONAIRE
y CUP
DEFENDERS

Next summer we are to have another
series OF yacht races for the America S
cup. AS in former years the contest
will probably arouse much popular in
terest. All over the country, not only
on our wide seaboards but in prairie
cities and mountain towns, every detail
of the preparations, from the length of
the cardboard strakes to the name of
the defender, will be known and dis
cussed, and when the races are finally
sailed the results will be received in
every telegraph office in the land al
most before the victor and yanquishsd
have furled their great white sails.
So you see, While our interest in the
cup races is somewhat academic, we
get lots of fun out of the thing.
Yachting always has been a rich
mans sport. Quite likely it always will
be- International yacht racing is
game for multimillionaires. If you
don't believe it, just glance at the
names comprising the syndicate formed
to resist Sir Thomas Lipton's third at
tempt on the cup. They are all names
of men of great wealth. The syndicate
consists Of Ebert ii. Gary, Clement a.
