Milwaukee whacks Socialism

The overthrow of Socialism in Mil
waukee shows that the American
voter prefers human welfare TO eco
nomic theories.
In so far as the Socialists OF any
American town can take a public ser
vice, and furnish it to the voter un-
der municipal ownership at price
under that of private ownership, they
will be able to gain and retain pow
er. The voter will never decline TO
accept a reduction in price OF electric
light and city water merely because
it is tagged with the red flag OF
Socialism.
The trouble with Socialism is that
it has never confronted the question
of how exceptional ability is to be
recognized and rewarded. Under So
cialism. il there was any difference
OF reward it would so to the politi-
clan class, the same oily tongued
men who are now representatives 10
legislatures and delegates to conyen
tons. The result of placing them in
positions OF business responsibility
for which they are not fitted, would
be to increase the cost of living.
The man of high executive capacity
can ordinarily take a business enter
prise, and by proper decentralization
OF its processes double its production
Socialism provides no way by which
the people can secure the advantag,
of this executive ability.
Unsystematic methods and fail
ure TO reward human ambition ar,
incredibly wasteful A business pre-
ducing value to the extent of $1,000,
900 under such methods could usually
be made to produce 100000 undc
efficiency and reward for abmltion.
The public could better AFFORD &,
see the man who accomplishes tina
result get 100000 profit for his labo
than to lose Sl,OOO,OOO through met
hciency and shit,less methods.
According TO testimony from Mi
waukee, the Socialist administrator
spent too much time lecturing d
their Utopia. too little in auditing a,
counts and getting good value i
city purchases.

Someone who has been examin-

Cavendish, the home OF Gubernator-
ial Candidate Fletcher, the reputed
millionaire, who advocates "the re-

that the would-be governors record
as taxpayer is not such as would
inspire the average voter with the
idea that he was sincere in making
any such statement. During the past
IL years according to statements
made, Candidate Fletcher has at
times been assessed and doubled by
the listers of his town which would
indicate that he refused to make
out a list and generally rich men
who so refuse to do so have reason
for so doing, and it is not believed

An Orchard That is Making Its own
The following story of wealth made
by means of an apple orchard is told
in the current issue of Farm and
Flreside:
ain a little Vermont town, lying
about six miles out from the Deauti-
full city of Burlington, on Lake
Champlain. is an orchard that is max
ing its owner both fame and fortune
This orchard was set out nearly a
half-century ago by the present own
ers father. and, although the trees
grew to large size, the orchard was
not considered a very paying invest
ment. A few years ago the present
owner came to believe that there
was money in the old orchard, and
that i'm order to get il out the trees
must be cultivated and fed like any
other crop There were more thali
1000 trees, mostly Greetings, with
some Baldwins and Northern Spies
The trees were too thick for the sun
light to penetrate them So the own
er went among them and cut out the
poorest. The trees were pruned, anc
the orchard plowed and fertilized
For fertilizer, after some eXeprl
menting and study he used manure
from the stock-yards, and this he nae
shipped him in carload lots from the
Yards of Montreal. Some lime was
also used. Buckwheat was sown be
tween the rows and was left on the
ground to form a mulch.
1.-THE orchard covers one hundred
acres and something like twent!
acres is now set to young trees. Al
fast as one OF the old trees becomes
improbable, il is blasted out and
new one set in its place. Spraying
is done with a power sprayer run b,

MAY SETTLE COAL STRIKE
Developments Expected Which VIII
Send Men Back 10 Work.

Philadelphia, April 15-The anthra
cite coal miners today entered upon
their third week of idleness as the
result OF the failure Of the union and
the coal operators to agree on a new
working arrangement, but the next
few days are expected to bring de-
velopments that will send the men
back to work at an early date.
Negotiations for a new agreement
have been transferred from this city
to New York where the deliberations
of the subcommittee made up of four
officers of the mine workers union
and four general managers OF big
coal companies, will be continued.
After the committee is ready to re-
mort a meeting of the full of 10 opera
tors and 10 miners will be called for
final approval or rejection of the re-
port. If the general committee acts
fayorably on an agreement, the new
arrangement will be submitted to a
convention of miners for ratification

The author began poultry raising
with one hundred and fifty hens. She
built five open houses, allowing thir-
~ hens to a house. and four square
feet OF space TO each fowl. She did
all the work herself except the. clean
ing of the houses. This was done by
her husband in return for the man
ure which is valuable fertilizer. The
average receipt per hen per year was
1928, making the total receipt 1884,

from the market was $l5240. Per.

eastern papers are disgustedly
telling of candidate for cook
ship who, at an employment
agency, demanded photograph
of the kitchen of an applicant for

dition of the sink, tubs and cup
boards might be known.
But really, was there anything
unreasonable about the demand?
Wasn't the demand really indica-
tive that the girl was capable, ex-
perienced and proud to do good
work? The woman looking for
house to rent bases her selection
very largely on condition and To-
cation of sink, range, tubs and
cupboards. The engineer does not
take charge of a locomotive with
out knowing whether its boiler is
or is not ready to burst.
The carpenter and the mason
don't go to work on building
without knowing the condition of
their tools, or without knowing
something about provisions for
their personal safety. The min
