MEANING OF MONEY WAGES.
Ballots Better Than Strikes TO Raise
WAGES,

But few people understand clearly
the difference between money wages
and real wages. If they did SO they
would not vote as they do. Money
wages is what is usually received for
a days or a weeks work. Real wages
are the goods which this money will
purchase From this it follows that
there are two ways of raising wages:
l. By increasing the amount of money
paid, and, 2, by reducing the prices
of goods.
Not only do wage earners try to get
as high money wages as possible, Of
ten becoming members OF labor
unions for this purpose, but they try tc
make their money go as far as possible
when purchasing goods. Their wives
will go miles to reach store that sells
goods S per cent. cheaper than near
by stores. They scold their wives II
they pay five cents more than is nee
essary for an article. Yet once in
every two years they go to the polls
a majority of them-and vote for
system that increases the cost of liv'
ing by about 500 a family per year,
and that compels their wives to pay
this much more for goods. This is per.
fectly inconsistent and illogical, but
it is exactly what they do when they
vote for tariff duties that foster and
protect trusts that charge unnecessar.
lily high prices for their products
prices often 80 to 40 per cent higher
than they charge foreigners for the
same goods.
Workingmen, then. have an oppor.
tunity every two years to raise their
wages at least 10 per cent. with their
votes This is far more than they will
ever raise average wages by strikes.
though in individual instances and in
certain industries wages may be raised
SO or even 100 per cent. through labor
organizations BY voting to "cut out"
the protected trusts that charge mon.
opoly prices and get an unfair share
Of the joint products of labor and cap.
ital, actual wages of all workers will
be permanently raised 10 per cent.
No. only that. but more goods will be
produced and consumed at the lower
prices that would result. Is not this
better than strikes? Think 1t over.

uAvlS Is ALthI,
Democratic Candidate for Yice.presideat
Answers InsinuatiOns.

For some weeks the Republicans
have been circulating among union
men statements that the Democratic
nominee for e-President was bitter
ly opposed to union labor and that he
had severely treated union miners,
dismissing them from his employ on
the sole charge that they were con-
nected with union.
Mr.. Davis attention was called to
the matter and copies of these Re-
publican charges were mailed to him.
Mr. Davis at once wrote to Mr.. f.
s. Landstreet, president of the Davis
Coal & Coke Company, No. l Broad
way, New York, letter, of which the
following is a part:
"Elkins, W. Va, Sept, IL.
''F. S. Landstreet, New York:
''The charge is made against me in
the State of Indiana that | was a
party to injunction proceedings and
the eviction of miners from the houses
,
and | am accused of being hostile to
union labor.
AS you know all the facts, | Will
be very much obliged if you make a
statement in reply to this charge.
Very truly yours,
"HENRY e. DAVIS"
n
Landstreet replied in the following
terms:
1.-The facts are that during your
term as President of the Davis Coal
& Coke Company no labor trouble oc
Cured.
The company only once during its
existence evicted any men from its
houses, and that was prior to your
being President.
'The only suggestion for injunction
proceedings by this company was in
1892, and in that case the minor Of
ficials Of the company, including my
self, who was then General Manager,
l6cu tldC Illt luJuAClAOA NC OOLdlaCu,
but you refused to allow us to make
application to court, and the proceed
ings were dropped.
The only discharge of union men
by the company took place in the fall
Of 1913. fully a year after you had
sold all your interests in the property
and retired and l had been elected
your successor.
Until the severance of our business
relations, more than two years ago,
had been associated with you in these
corporate interests for about twenty
years, and during that period you al
ways showed the greatest considera.
tion and concern for the welfare Of all
the employees, wage-earners, and
others of the company
"Not only is this true as to the em.
ployees themselves, but you have
manifested your concern for the well
fare of their families by establishing
various relief associations, hospitals,
schools, etc, for protection of them.
very truly yours,
''F. S. LANDSTREET, Prest."

FIVE YEARS
SUPERiNTENOENTS MAY BE
HIRED UNDER CODE
TEACHERS ONLY FOUR
The Tax Limit Has Been
Raised so Per Cent.

Auditor M. w. Oberlin has receiv-
ed instructions and advance sheets
relating to the various laws passed
by the last legislature which give in
formation upon points that have been
rather haZy in the minds of the peo-
pie owing to the fact that many
amendments were made during the
last two days Of the session Of the
legislature.
The provisions of the school code
are given with reference to the levy
that can be made. Under the old LAW
mills could be levied. Under the
new code levy of IL mills is author
lied, with additional levies If the peo-
pie vote for them. This will allow
school boards to make an assessment
so per cent higher than formerly.
An examination of the code in de-
tail shows some interesting provi-
sions. School funds can be deposit
ed in the local banks so that interest
can be secured. Boards may elect a
director Of schools, whose duties are
similar to those of the superintendent
of buildings in Canton and his salary
shall not exceed $1,000 a year.
The present board cannot hire SUI
perintendent or any other person for
term extending beyond August 81
1905, so that the schools cannot be
packed with teachers and superin.
tendents to get ahead of the new
boards that are to be elected in No
vember. The new board can elect q
superintendent for a term Of five
years and teachers can be hired for
four years IL the board so desires
Any of them can be removed for
| cause.
The superintendent has power to
appoint all teachers, subject to the
confirmation of the board, and he
may suspend any such teacher for
cause, and it will take three
fourths vote for the board to retain
teacher after he has been dismissed
by the superintendent.
Teachers are required to look after
the healthfulness Of the school rooms
but In no instance are they to be re
quired to do janitor work unless paid
extra compensation for doing it. II
any teacher is dismissed ror a friv,
olous reason the teacher can bring
suit to recover damages.
After the first of September the
lists of examination questions are tc
be uniform throughout the state, be
ing prepared and sent out under the
direction of the state commissioner OF
common schools. Under this ar
rangement the examiners will not be
required to prepare lists, but simply
get copies printed from those sub
mitted from headquarters.
