WAGES AND PRICES

It should be most edifying debate that is about to take place between the managers of the trunk lines and representatives of the train men upon wages and the cost of living. The or ganized trainmen will present formally their de- mand for higher pay and their reasons. The railway officials will urge that an advance in wages should carry with it an advance in freight rates, provided that can be done without lessen ing the volume of traf1ice. The conference is of interest to the general public for the aver age citizen feels the strait of high prices as keenly as do these trainmen. If the cost of transportation is to be advanced, that elusive person known as the Ultimate Consumer, would be called upon to pay the bill. Apparently the debate is to go on without considering him at all He has no organization, and stands unable to answer the question, What are you going to do about itl
 Yet the statesmen know that the Ultimate Consumer hasa vote, and the knowledge may account for the number of explanations of high prices that are offered. One expert in the De- pertinent of Agriculture gravely asserts that people eat more than they did generation ago, while in the meantime the supply of food pro ducts has not increased per capita But it does not seem credible that the digestion and assinl- ilation of the people have so increased of late as to effect prices. Perhaps the conference be- tween labor and employers may turn it's atten- ton to the increase in the world production of gold, which has caused the price of that metal to fall when measured in commodities. That is, of course, a most elementary economic state mcnt. Yet 1t cannot be overlooked or ignored in any discussion of the cause of the increase in the cost of living.

in the increased price of their necessares of life, flows into the treasury
 A hint as to the wastefuness of the present system of collecting import and tonnage duties, is contained in the report of the secretary of the treasury, recently issued.
 The country is divided into 160 districts and ports for the collection of duties. Of these the expenses in 10 are greater than the receipts, the cost of collection ranging for every dollar col lected from 1.50 to $30941.
 In the Alexandria, Va, district, the govern ment spent $1 ,224 to collect $10.
 In the Annapolis, Mr., district it cost $956 to collect $3.09
 In the Crisfeld, Md, district it cost s, ,2S6 to collect $95.
 In the Portsmouth, N H., district, it cost $3.572 to collect $221.65
 In the St Mary's, Ga, district, it cost $693 to collect $l5.25
 In the Coos Bay, Ore, district, it cost $1.454 to collect $79.S1.
 The average cost to the government for col iecting its customs and tonnage duties in sixteen districts was a little more than $23 for every dollar collected. And this report is not as bad as last years, which showed that in one instance the government had paid two men $1 100 to col lect 60 centsl

WASTE UNDER PROTECTION

The wastefulness of taxes collected from the people is not one of the least vicious features of protection.
 American customs duties have necessitated a gigantic army of officials, have increased the price of everything and have added enormously to the expenses of the government. And the worst of it is only small portion of these du- ties which are paid by the American consumer

When a republican isn't frightened by the withdrawal of patronage he ceases to be re- publican. Representative Norris has either abandoned the flag of his party or is a badly "skeered" politician. His talk, at the best is that of a school boy. Cannon and Taft stand for all there is, all there ever has been and all there ever will be in the republican party, and when a man is not in accord with the leaders he is not in accord with the party.

COOPERATION FOR
UNIFORM MINE LAWS
is ASKED BY SECRETARY OF IN
TERROR IN COMMUNICATION
LAID BEFORE CONGRESS.

Washington. Jan. I-Co-operation
between state and nation and more
uniform mining larss hroughou:
the country is asked by the secre-
cation just laid before congress.
Secretary 'Eallingcrs recommends.
tlons come as result of Senator
Cullom's resolution which was
prompted by the recent sherry, H.,
mine dsascr The recommendation
are no less apropos to the more
recent coal mine catastrophe at
McAlester. Okla. which is still
fresh in the minds Of the peop,c Of
the new state.
II Is interesting to note that Mr.
Ballinger asks for the establish.
mcnt of niue additional government
mining stations throughout the
country. one of which he says
should be located either IN Okla
/ h1ma or Arkansas. As the country
/ is thoroughly aroused by the fire.
uuent recurrence of mine explosions
and terrible loss OF life it is not
, improbable that immediate steps
will be taken by congress to give
/ the secretary of interior free rein
H. the premises. The necessary ap-
! preparations 1t is said should be
forthcomiug not later than Febru
airy.
Secretary Ballinger's communica'
tion is in part as follows: AS to
the action that the federal govern.
mcnt should take to prevent or at
least minimize mine accidents. II
is assumed that in mining. as in ag'
riculture. the function of federal
government is strictly limited TO re-
search and educational and demon
strational work: and therefore its
function in relation u safeguard
ing the lives of miners must be
limited to Investigations of the
mine accidents developing methods
OF rescue work and enough of dem
onstrational and educational work
to induce miae operators and min
ers u adopt these measures undei
state supervision, and To lead tn,
states to enact more uniform min
ing laws.
1t Is on this basis that the ad
ditional branch stations are recon-
mended. II is believed that they
viii be adequate for the purposes
named and that the work OF thes,
static.s will be sufficient To in
ducc coal operators and coal min
Ing states 10 ultimately establish 4
sunicient number II small loca
stations Tor ordinary rescue work in
each Of the important mining cen
tors
1t is also pointed out that mine
disasters are occurring in district
where least expected in and in the
safest" mines
According to the figures furnished
by Secretary lIallinger 1t will cost
$1,000 to equip each of the new sta
tons and $4,000 for building The
maintenance cost Is fixed at S6,5OO
Each station will be in charge OF
mining engineer and Il corps OF
assistants usually recruited from the
neighboring mines.
The appalling list of mine acci
dents during the year surely de
mands some action upon the state
and nation.
