Eugenics, that new and tremend-

curious questions these days. For

pie OF the world might have been

queer freaks of nature that have

as frequently among the Negroes as
among the whites and he hazarded the
guess that they pointed 10 a kind OF
change in color that might suggest
the evolution Of the entire human

ReduciNg Cost of Living =
For The WorkingMaN
OFFICIAL UNION sToREs-A SUGGESTION BY ROGER w.
eAesoN, NOTED BANKER AND ECONOMIST
HAS BEEN STUDYING CONDITIONS IN EUROPE

upon between workers and the maui
ufacturers, clause will be added
whereby the manufacturers Will con-
tinue 10 sell TO these official union
stores NJ the same price rs formerly.
This will mean that the price OF the
goods will be increased only 10 the
outside trade--that is. 10 the idle
and the rich and those who have
over certain income.
Moreover. so long as labor restricts
the use OF the official stores for their
own exclusive benefit, the manufac-
lures will not obpect to this system
Of two prices. They will need 10
add only a little more additional to
the price charged the general stores
which are patronized by the we'll
TODD.
There is nothing revolutionary In
this dual price system. Our protec-
tive tariff system makes one price
for cloth In Buffalo and a much
cheaper price for the same goods
across the line In Toronto Coal
sells for six dollars a ton on Fifth
ave. New York. that cannot be pur-
chased for eight or ten dollars on the
East Side.
The only difference between these
facts and what here suggest Is that
this plan provides for honestly divid-
ing people according 20 what they
do and are instead Of according to
where they live. For instance. the
miners will not onH-in future
years--obtain higher wages. but
they will obtain an agreement from
the mine owners that the price OF
coal shall not be advanced to Official
union stores. How much the price
is advanced TO the general public
labor will not care but il will pro-
tect itself and insist that the increase
In wages shall be real increase.
In fact. as | study the development
Of the labor movement in Europe,
am convinced that this step will be
taken. When the miners hereafter
are given an increase in pay, instead
Of advancing the price OF coal so
cents a ton to all, labv.' will still be
able to buy at the old price; while
the price to the rich and idle we'll
TODD will be advanced one dollar or
more per ton. Only by such sys-
tenn can the cost OF living be re-
duced for the workingmen OF
America.

Some day the government is going

Young Mr.. Gould is getting out too
soon. He really ought to have tarried
until We get a government that will
take up this interference with crooked

Then frankie would have something
that will give him the sort OF disgust

ling" problem in Europe find that
the increase in the prices OF food

tries. like Italy. the percentage OF in
crease Is even greater than in the
United States. Therefore. am
more convinced than ever that the
workers OF the world must strike for
something besides higher wages and
shorter hours.
Higher wages cause higher prices.
and In the end labor is not very
much better of than before. AT least
in many cases.
Where the product OF the factory
or mill is not directly or indirectly
consumed by working people, an adj
vance in wages Is a real benefit TO
the workman. as in such cases the
increase in prices comes out OF the
rich or idle.
Such cases. however, are the eX-
ception rather than the rule, and
this Is the real reason why you work
ingmen find II just as hard TO save
a dollar today as Ii was some years
ago when you received much less
money and worked longer hours.
am convinced that you do not
go far enough when you ask only an
increase in wages and shorter
working day. You should go farther
and demand that the increase in
price (which the manufacturers must
ultimately ask shall come wholly
from those who have more than a

the price of coal. clothing and food
