Edwin B. Wheeler, in the New York
Journal, suggests solution Of the
labor problem. He says be would
like to see"
Capital and labor upon a recognized
basis Of equality Of profit sharing
Labor cantributes three hundred
days Of labor at S4 per day, amounting
to a value Of $1,000 per year. Capital,
to equal this on a fair aud equitable
basis, invests $4,000, which at G per
cent, the legal rate OF interest in New
York state, amounts to $1,000 IN one
year Here is an equal investment
If the owner Of the capital also puts
bis labor In the business as well as his
capital, of course he Is then entitled to
such salary as would be paid to one
who ranked next higher than snperin-
tendent or general manager.
Profits beyond the payment Of the
amount Of payroll and the legal rate
Of interest on capital should be shared
equally between labor and capital. La
boris share being apportioned among
workers pro rata In proportion to the
amount Of yearly earnings Of each.
Capital risks loss: so does labor
both loss OF employment In case Of
business failure and loss Of earning
capacity in case Of illness, accident or
injury while employed

Object to Cutting Weeds on Vermont
Highways, But May Have to.
Rutland, Aug. 10.-The act which
compels landowners to cut weeds, brush
and trees along highways and which has
really just become effective az it provides
that the cutting be done once during
August and September, il BY no means
popular with the farmers.
They say il has been tried before
without success. They claim there il no
power 10 compel landowners 70 cut the
grass and weeds even upon their own
land which abuts the highways, much
less land that does not belong TO them
and to which they hold only reyer.

AttyGen. Fits, who has an eve 20
Identifying NermoHt's roadsides, has
notified the states attorney to enforce
the law and every selectman has also
received instructions. If the landowner
does not do il the law says that the
selectmen shall have 1t done at the
