LIVING COSTS AND WAGES.

The bureau of railway economics.
in a treatise upon the subject of rail
way wages and the cost of living,
cites an interesting British report
based upon conditions as they existed
in 1909. 1t was found in the inquiry
by the British authority, that an
English family moving from coun-
try to country would find its expen-
ditures for food and fuel to stand in
the following relations to it's expen-
ditures in England, the latter being
taken as par, or 100 per cent:
In England and Wales. 100 per cent
In Belgium ...........102 per cent
In France lis per cent
In Germany ..........11S per cent
In the United States. 1873 per cent
The same report, which was made
by the British Board of Trade, made
a comparison of the wages paid in
the different countries in the build
ing, engineering and printing trades.
Briefly stated, it was learned that
the pay of the American laborer in
these three trades is higher than that
of his British cousin by 1870 per cent.
While this does not equal the differ
ence in the cost of living in the two
countries, it takes into account only
three u of many trades. 1t indicates
that the level of wages and living
cost is fairly we'll sustained in both
countries. If this were not true, it
would be an economical anomaly.
Wages paid ought to be in proportion
to the living cost in any n
Otherwise there will be either an
influx of laborers to obtain wages
higher in proportion than those of
other countries, of else there will be
an exodus of laborers because wag
are proportionately higher else
where.
Therefore it is not telling the cost
of living to give the comparative ex-
penditures in dollars and cents for
the same articles in different coun-
tries. If income and expenses are
both higher, then the relative living
cost is the same.

party require that the integrity of it's
most important activities must BIZ
above and beyond suspicion?
Mr.. Miles has his opinion that
Taft was regularly and properly
nominated. But he is too broad mind
ed not to recognize that his ne gh-
Dor may just as sincerely and en-
phatically believe that Mr.. Taft is
not entitled to recognition as the
party nominee for president. Now
what will Mr.. Miles do with his
%neighbor? Will he club him into sup
port of Taft as the nominee? Is there
any law by which to compel him to
recognize Taft's nomination? That
being the case. is it for Mr.. Miles or
the editor of The Republican to say
what constitute. republicanism in
this confused state of affairs?
The Republican takes anchorage
in the belief that the republican par
ty consists, not of Mr.. Taft or Mr..
LaFollette or any other of it's lead
| ers, or of Mr.. Miles or of The Mitch
ell Daily Republican, but OF the yot-
esr who make 1T up. The party has no
entity separate from it's membership.
1t is simply an aggregation of indi-
| viduals. Every one of those individ-
uals has a constitutional guaranty of
his right to vote as he pleases. If the
large majority of these individuals
in the republican party in South Da-
kota are of opinion that Taft is not
the nominee of the party, then what
would Mr.. Miles do? Would he say
that the party should go on without
It's membership? And wherein lies
the authority for diyorcing the party
from its membership? Who is to say
and who gave him the right to say
The Republican has the single pur-
pose at this time of keeping in touch
with the man on the street, the mar
in the field, the neighbor and the
neighbours neighbor, all the thous'
ands and thousands of voters who
ARE the republican party of South
Dakota. Let us hear their verdict
without pride of opinion or the big
otry of partisan prejudice. Else We
may not have longer with us the
republican party of South Dakota
Is that treason to the republican
party? II SO, then we must let those
who believe SO make the most of it
