which the statistician has divided the
United States. His idea being to COM
pile the statistics in each locality eof
the Unit sd States with a view to ac-
commodating the railroad men in their
ideas that one locality was much
more. expensive one than another In
which to concIct railroading.
The readerstof The Independent are
mostly located in group Z as by con-

With this kind of reasoning, what

prodigious evil. The cure for it Is
riches. Intemperance is a prodigiouS

Sickness is a prodigious evil. The cure
for it is health.
II the American workman is not
happy, why not?. The last bulletin of
the Labor Bureau furnishes some Off
cial s.ati~tics which have a bearing
on the subject
In Indiana the wages of 1925 en-
ployes were investigated, and the aver
age was found to be S5.77 week.
|8,494 carriage workers were found to
receive an average of $c.98 week.
The average for nearly 1000 paper mill
hands was found to be $6.57 week.
Conditions were better in Illinois. The
average weekly wage of 80,8S1 employees
in this state was found to be 1910.
In Missouri the average for over 10000
investigated drops to $S.7G a, week. In
this state there were three free en-
ploymert bureaus that received over
fifteen thousand applications for posi-
tions. They were compelled to send
five thousand of these applications
away into enforced idleness.
In this same report, the labor COM
missioner informs us that the en-
ployees of the woolen mills Of New
Jersey get $6.43 a week. The factory
hands in Pennsylvania were found to
get 1928 a week. The Anthracite coal
miners made 1888 a week. And the
men who have not the privilege OF min
ing coal but who are able to get jobs
as helpers merely, made an average
weekly wage of $685.

that time had been cOntending for a.
certain specific rate, accepting the In
diVidualized idea Of rate making, as
the railroad men had always construed
them, rather than fig ring from the
basis Of what was absolutely right to-
all parties at interest in rate making.
A further study of the reports of the
roads as made to the Interstate COM
merce commission in the tables COM
piled by the statistictian Of that body
led me to conceive the idea that the
average rate must of necessity be just
one. To business man it looked rea-
sonable that no one knew better than
a railroad man what rate he was en-
titled to, the same as any business
man or mechanic knows better what
to charge In his line thar. some one
who is not experienced. Conceding
that the g.Oss rates should be as the

is the cure for this prodigious evil?
