living Of our people and the growing
insecurity Of a job.
The cost of living has increased
so per cent during this 17-year period
while the average increase in wages
has been only 20 per cent. That
means that the standard OF living has
gone down just % per cent in II
years.
When we consider the tremendous
prfiots that must be earned by the
people for watered stock, as we'll as
for the trusts, the above fact explains
itself.
The over-capitallzation Of our i'll
dustries is estimated at $40, 900. 0O0.-
/ 600. The dividends and interest on
that vast amount of inflated value
is at least $500, 900. This is IS
dollars (s1s) for every man, woman
and child in the land.
$40 FROM EACH MAN.
From the 23rd annual report Of tia
/ interstate commerce commission W,
! learn that the railroads of the coun
! try in 1911 showed net earnings
amounting TO 1880. 262,457 This means
/ that about $40 was exacted from
every man, woman and child of our
/ nation.
These profits are thefts pure and
simple though legalized. How much
greater becomes this sum when one
considers the profits of all the many
other INDUSTRIES and trusts of oul
country.
AT the same time the army o.
flunkies, servants and non-productivt
workers that are busy gratifying tht

FOR PERMANENT SHORT COURSE
Farmers Of Peweshiek County Take
Steps to Maintain School,


Gr1nnell. Jan. 30.-The experience of
those In Poweshiek county who have
taken direct interest in the work of
the short courses held in this city for
the past three years has been such that
they anxiously desire a permanent
school OF that kind in the county. At
conference held on the last day of
the short course this matter was quite
fully discussed and a committee was
appointed to make extended investiga-
ton with a view to forming a county
organization. The committee, consist
ing of G. H. Gibbs. chairman; II. G..
Sylvester, secretary: Ed Newcomer. w.
E. Chichester. George Thomson, and ".
j. Donnan, held meeting and made
arrangements to hold a series Of meet
ingS at regular intervals thru the year,
at which they plan to have present one
or more representatives from each
township Of the county, and they hope
thus to have an organization taking in
the entire county.
Another question discussed at the
meeting OF Saturday morning and by
the committee later was the organiza-
ton of oranges thruout the county. In
three communities on the northwest,
the northeast and the southwest of tfia
city, papers are passing around for the
signatures Of those who are willing to
take an active part in the organization
of a grange in each such locality. These
oranges, if formed, can unite upon a
time and place for an annual short
course and corn show. as we'll as for
the establishment of a permanent ex-
pertinent station for which much plan
ming has been already done within the
past two years.
