EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Compulsorv Arbitration.

Governor Stone of Pennsylvania
wants compulsory arbitration. Perhaps
he knows what compulsory arbitration
really means. Perhaps, however, Ike
most other people, he doesn't says the
Chicago Tribune. Compulsory arbitra-
ton is more than compulsory arbitra-
ton As Dr. John Macgregor of Wei
lingtoni New Zealand, said In a letter
to the OtagO Daily Times in September,
1901, 1T is necessary to put aside alto
gether the idea that our act is simply
a device for preventing strikes. 1t is
nothing of the kind. 1t is q device for
putting the regulation of trades, occu-
pations, and industries under the con-
troll of statutory court" In other
words, the final result of compulsory
arbitration is to establish a court en-
forced minimum of wages.
This is result which cannot be evad-
ed. The steps leading to it are plain.
They viii be Identical with the steps
taken In New Zealand Let the court
of arbitration be set up There viii
soon be a dispute in some trade The
employer and the employees VIII fail to
come TO terms There viii be a strike.
Inc pubic viii complain. There will be
an appeal to the court of arbitration.
The court will decide that the reason
able wage in the trade is so many dol
laIs a week, The employer viii be
obliged to comply with this decision. The
line below which he may not go in bar
gaining with his employees will be fixed
There win be no line above which he
may liOL gu IAtlE VIII De q minimum.
There viii be no maximum. The eapa-
bic man. by showing that he is worth
more than his fellows, may command
larger remuneration. HIS rent of
ability" viii be higher It will be made
impossible, however, for any man to fail
to earn the wage established by the
court Of arbitration as the lowest which
The employer win be permitted to offer.
This minimum wage system appeals to
many people. To many other" people it
does not appeal at all. Such people
should remember that compulsory arbi-
tration and minimum wage are almost
synonymous terms.
In Victoria, Australia a method Of com
pulsory arbitration can be found which
while it differs from the New Zealand
method. mas the same ultimate aim New
zealand has boards Of Cancellation in the
seven districts into which the colony is tii-
Vided- When Il board of concfliation fails
TO settle a dispute satisfactorily a central
court Of arbitration is called upon to de-
liver fnal verdict. This court therefore
has Jurisdiction over all trades In Vic
tori2. on the contrary, there are ssvvafrs
boards. which are formed at the instance
of the trades interested. and which each
for its own trade, establish legal hours
and wages. These hours and wages are
then enforced by the factory INSPECTORS
The New Zealand and the victoria, meth
ods. therefore have different STARTING
points but almost identical destinations
The principle involved is that which, IA All

be resisted. 1t viii be said that the
payments viii be as large or larger
than the present tax. If so, the COM
panies would not propose them. Any
how. the desire of the state ought not
to be to mulct the corporations. but 10
tax them justly. The principle Of fran
chise taxation is just. whether the re-
ceipts be larger or smaller than a per-
centage of gross incomes. It treats cor
porate property in streets just as it
treats private property anywhere The
man who owns a vacant lot pays taxes
on its value regardless of the income.
The corporation which owns right of
way in the street should pay on the
same basis. and under the ruling Of the
court of appeals it will so pay. Public
opinion, we think. can be relied upon 10
block any attempts to overthrow the
system now firmly established. For the
share which the Tribune had in secur-
ing the passage of the law. and de-
Tending its justice and constitutionality
since. we take great pride, and have the
satisfaction of feeling that we have

T. E. Sheard, or as he is called, Tom
Sheard, the barber shop proprietor, who
has probably shaved the chins of more
famous Kansans than any other ton
ago OF the numerous men who became
famous in the west in the early days.
Among the number was Buffalo Bill, +"
wild Bill and Texas Jack" Sheard
had a barber chair in the old Windsor
hotel years ago and before that he
welded a razor at Rochester. n. Y, and
there shaved the men he tQid of.
Where Sheard knew these wild men
of the woolly west was in Rochester the
peaceful camera and fine lens town.
Buffalo Bill" made his home there and
started his first show out of Rochester
The first show, as Sheard tells of it,
was a stage affair. 1t was something

was Buffalo Bill" He appeared just
in time to rescue the unfortunate girl
who had been captured by Indians, and
all that sort of thing. Texas Jack, Of
the Lone STAR was another hero and
wild Bill" the man who preserved or
der at Abilene in the early days and
who was known as Town Marshal
Hickoclx. was another star. for one
night only
It was this wise, according to Sheard,
that wild Bits thespian days were
of short duration. Buffalo Bili'~ and
Texas Jack had been in the show busi
ness a season or so. The Rochesterites
had seen thenE The stories of how
wild Bill" managed things at Abilene
had drifted east. When the gigantic
aggregation was ready for toe
first night it was discovered that the
real star was Wild Bill because ev-
eryone in the audience had seen the
other two times before. As soon as the
curtain went I'D there were cries for
wild Bill'' but he was not there.
The trouble was that Hiekock was
wont to look upon the wine when II
wss red and the brew when it was
froth. He had looked intenGy upon the
Juice and brew the very day the snow
was TO open. When the curtain Went
up that night for the performance Wild

cups. The show proceeded and the hero~
inc was rescued. with all the usual
thrills and war hoops, but The audience
was not satisfied There were cries for
wild Bill" Sheard was among those
who demanded a sisht of the first IA
nous man from Abilene. There was
such a pow-wow that wild Bill'' had
to be produced before the show could
70 on. E5ickock was cOrralled and taken
to the opera house and was walked
across the stage. His long hair, buck
skin suit and sonbrero satisfied the au-
dience and cEiet was restored.
The play went on. but Wild Bill" de-
cided to have some fun He took re,
