WAGES AND THE TARIFF.

According TO the report OF the
Sureau OF railroad economics. the
average daily wage OF railroad EN-.
ployes in the United States Is 1929.
In England. 1t is sl.05; in Germany.
81 cents: in Austria. SO cents. En-.
gineers on American railroads receive
an average weekly pay OF s25 so. The
pay in England is sl11O. American
railroad firemen average si5.24. and
the English firemen 1857.
Why this?
Why is the average OF wages paid
In the United States from 1000 10
1909 higher than the wages paid for
the same class Of labor in the most
prosperous countries OF Europe?
Solely because the policy of pr5tec-
ton has created and maintained a
high price for American labor and
has preserved the American market
for the benefit OF American working
men. We have in this great empire
OF ours abundant resources to create
and produce practically every article
OF food and clothing that our people
need The Republican policy OF pro-
lection looks to the stimulation and
development OF every possible indus
Try, based upon our natural resources.

nance OF wage scales that will enable

sumers in a large degree OF our own
products Destroy or lower mater.
tally the tari1. which Republican. leg.
islation has thrown around our indus
tries. and you will inevitably lower the
wage scale OF every working man.
Free trade In goods means equality
IN labor. We cannot bring into the
United States English and other for
eign goods without depriving our own
working men Of the chance 10 make
Ike goods or without lowering them
TO the wage level that prevails in
Europe
= II the railroad men OF the United
States wish the wages OF engineers TO
fbe Sll.ls per week as they are in
England. instead OF $3.50 per week
as they are in America. the sure way
to realize that wish is 20 cast a ballot
for Woodrow Wilson or Theodore
Roosevelt.

entirely on his own motion the report
shows that Of those paroled, more than

have not violated their paroles, have

about, for that 80 per cent are back In

their paroles revoked and no hope Of
another.
So then, when the situation is thor

MANY APPLICANTS
FOR POSITION on FORCE

Who Frank shedeck, the newly
elected chief Of police viii select Tor
patrolmen, when he assumes his du-
ties, seems to be a leading question
following the city election and one
which is looked forward to with much
interest by both the women and men
voters. That the pie counter Is being
well patronized at present Is unques-
toned, and the newly-el'c.ed VIII uh-
doubtedly be the magnet for at least
so men who aspire TO be guardians
of Salem's peace and welfare,
Mr.. shedeck declares that he has
made no pledges or promises, and has
not stated as yet who he will recon-
mend for the various positions which
may be vacated when the time arrives
for him to take up the chiefs office II
cannot be definitely ascertained
whether Mr.. Shedeck will retain any
Of the old men, but It is rumored tina,
one OF the present force. Wilbur Gains
will be one Of the new chiefs choice
officer Gains was recommended by
Chief Of Police Hamilton, and, like
the other men recommended by ChieI
Hamilton, has proven to be an eff
cient officer. In any event, for the
reason the new chief received such an
overwhelming vote, the majority Of
those commenting upon the prospects
for new men, declare that Mr., ShedecB
should be given every privilege ia
choose as he sees fit and that what
ever selection he makes will be IA
vorable to almost every voter in the
city. There are a few, however who
are fearful that Mr.. Shedeck will ap-
point officers who will meet with ILL
favor by certain factions, and that the
council may reject his recommends
tiOns.

THE LAW A GOOD ONE.

THE report on the state prison now
in course of preparation, for sub
mission TO the legislature and OF
which mention was made in The Capt.
tai Journal yesterday throws light
and considerable Of It on the much
criticized parole system which has
been accredited TO Governor West as
being It's father mother and grand
parents. 1t shows how unjust all this
criticism was, for It discloses the fact
that few If any know that Governor
West was in nowlse responsible for the
law, or for the large number Of pa
roles, but was in fact simply obeying
and complying with the law in grant
ing paroles,
II seems, in the first place, that the
indeterminate sentence law requires
that under certain named conditions
paroles must be granted This Is a
wise provision, calculated to aid in and
encourage the reformation Of prison
ers.
The last Legislature, which met in
session soon after Vests inauguration
as governor, passed a law extending
the indcterminate sentence and parole
law, making II applicable not only to
those who might thereafter be con-
yicted Of crimes for which the maxi
mum punishment was a definite num-
Der Of years, but also to all prisoners
of the same class, serving time when
the law was passed This made the
law at once applicable to large num-
Der then in prison, and within very
short time Governor West was, by that
same law compelled to take action in
their cases Obeylng the law, he was
forced to release within a short time
large number Of prisoners.
Largely owing to this, and the fact
that few understood the parole law
the impression, fostered by some inim-
ical newspapers, got abroad that the
governor was simply turning loose n
large number OF criminals of his own
yolition. Few knew that the law prac-
tiCally compelled him TO do this. Some
Of the Oregon newspapers, either ig-
ncrantly or with malice prepense, held
him up as yiolator Of the law, and Of
Justice in turning these criminal loose,
not explaining, If they knew, that in
stead OF It being his act, 1t was really
by operation OF law that they were
freed
