REA OFFERS PRIZE
FOR COLLEGE POEM
Professor Believes All nes
of EndeavOr Should be
Encouraged.

Because he believes that other
lines of college activity besides ath-
letcs and oratory should be publicly
acknowledged and rewarded, Prof
John d.. Rea, of the department of
English and languages in Eariham
college, has offered as a prize for the
best poem which is submitted to him
before January Is, a set of the Cam
bridge edition of Shakespeare.
Prof. Rea, in speaking of his plan,
said that publicity given by the news
papers and the trophies awarded by
the colleges were generally received
by either athletes or the orators of
the college, and that these were not
the only activities of the college
worthy of mention and remuneration.
Il believe that the ability TO think
straight and express yourself correct
ly is fully as important as to be able
to kick a football we'll, and | believe
that a good moral character is as
valuable to community as strong
pair of biceps.'

audience and speak at length on a
subject of which the speaker knows
nothing is not the only accomplish
ment for which the college should re-
ward it's students. Superiority in the

be rewarded as well, and it is the pur-

Mr.. Ford's plan is not new one. Golden
Rule Jones, one time mayor of Toledo, made
himself wealthy in factory which operated on
this basis. But it was his own personality, how
ever, that held the thing together, because it
fell to pieces shortly after his death.
The Steel Corporation, the Bell Telephone
lines, and the Western Union corporations have
recently installed systems of accident and old
age pensions, but their e'S:-z,osynary plans have
been no such scale as this
The N. o. Nelson company, as many will re-
call, experimental also with a profit-sharing
plan while in St. Louis. The scheme worked so
well that the plant moved to country commun-
ity and built town of it's own called Lecaire.
This town has no warehouses;, jails, police or
asylums. The families own their own homes and
live in comfort. Many of their residences COM
pare favorably with aristocratic quarters in large
cities, so far the surroundings concerned.
The j. T. & ]. Taylor company, of Batly, Eng
land, has used a profit-sharing plan for twenty
one years with entire success. In this time their
employees have received over and above high
wage, 100000.
The Ford plan seems to be newer develop
ment of the Rochdale plan, worked out so long
ago 1914. But it differs radically from this
as we'll as from the others in that these have
been on small SCALE while the Ford plan will
affect one of the largest plants the continent.
Economists the world over have declared that
the profit-sharing idea is good for small con-
Germs, but not for large
However, Henry Ford is genius, and may
do things impossible to any ordinary person. He
is of the best advertisers the country has
seen, and he is one of the best organizers. He
is genius, a prophet and what is lost
on those whose eyes are less KEEN He thinks of
his employees, not as animated machines for
grinding out profits, but as fellow men, with
rights, and souls, and all the other usual appa-
ratus of existence. He has seen what so many
have failed to see, that capital alone flourish
when labor is prosperous, because labor is cap
itals biggest market, and the more labor is cut
down and impoverished, the less there will be
to sell.
But whether or no, Mr.. Ford's revolutionary
plan is economically sound, thing is certain
it is manifestation of new spirit that has
gotten itself incarnated in the lords of capital
in this day. And that in itself is sufficient to
deserve for Mr.. Ford the admiration of the
country.

"A Little Ford Shall Lead Them.

Word comes that the Ford Automobile
pany has inaugurated system of profit
sharing among it's employees. 1t is said that
about ten million dollars annually will be dstri-
buted equally among total of 26,5O0 men. At
the same time the shops will be placed on an
eigh-hour basis and in three shifts daily
This means addition of about four thousand

Mr. Henry Ford, with whom the plan is said
to have originated believes that labor does not
fare as we'll as capital does in the way things
are shaped up in our industrial world. He de-
n1ands deal for the wage earners, and has
himself set this example.
Each and every employee, twenty-five years
of age over whether he is an "aristocrat of
labor" mere floor sweeper, will receive not
less than five dollars per day. Women, how
ever, are left out of the scheme, because it's
author does not look with pleasure woman

in the hard ticks necessary 70 keep the larder
full he believes.
In order that this unexpected and unsolicited
increase of income may not demoralize his en-
ployes, Mr.. Ford has organized sociological de-
partment, the duty of which will be to keep a
sharp look out for men who dissipate and waste
the surplus. He is determined that the extra
dollars shall go to the family or into savings
bank, and not be thrown away.

THE MASTER MARINER

My grandsire sailed three years from home,
And slew unmoved the sounding whale
Here MINDLESS beach l
And watch far out the hardy sail.
The lions of the surf that cry
Upon this lion colored shore
On reefs of midnight met his eye
He knew their fangs as I their roar.
My grandsire sailed uncharted seas,
And toll of all their leagues he took;
l scan the shallow bays at ease,
And tell their colors in a book.
The anchor chains his music made
And wind in shrouds and running gear:
The thrush at dawn begues my glade,
And once, tits said, l woke to hear.
My grandsire in his ample fist
The long harpoon upheld to men,
Behold obedient to my wrist
gray gulIs feather for my pen!
Upon my grandsire's leathern cheek
Five their bitter bronze had set:
Some day their hazards will seek
| promise at times. Not yet
think my grandsire would turn
A mild but speculative eye
On me, my pen and its concern,
Then gaze again to sea-and sigh

A Burning Shame.

When the consumers of natural gas received
their first statement for that commodity at the
end of last month they were surprised to find
that the Light, Heat and Power company had
charged those using over thousand feet fifty
cents for the first thousand and had carried the
remainder over to the next month. That means
if man burns 1900 cubic feet in January he
will pay fifty cents for the first thousand and
have the three hundred remainder carried over
to February
If there is any advantage to the company
in this plan it will have some difficulty in per-
suading the public to lend it's hand in the game,
because the consumers are smarting from 1T In
their pocket nerve, the most sensitive part OF a
humans anatomy. City Attorney Bond described
the scheme IAN infamous and detestible form
of public service graft, and should and will be
stopped" These words are as strong neces-
sary it might be supposed, but many consumers
who have paid their bills have been heard to use
language somewhat more blush in it's tints.
If one will take the trouble to figure the
thing out for himself he can easily see how it
works, and he may have grounds for a guess
as to just why the company has adopted this
system of making its charges Here is table
running up to 1000 cubic feet:
LOO cubic feet per month will average per year
$6.42. Should be $500
200 cubic feet per month will average per year
S6.47. Should be $500.
1900 cubic feet per month will average per year
STA. Should be 1925.
400 cubic feet per month will average per year
1852. Should be $6.72.
800 cubic feet per month will average per year
$3.50. Should be 1920:
1000 cubic feet per month will average per year
S8.18. Should be S7.69.
This means that the consumer will be charged
each year from AZ cents to S1.00 more than he
should at the regular rate of 40 cents. Now this
il not very large amount in itself, but when
it is multiplied by a large number Of consumers
it will aggregate very tidy In instance,
if the company has 5000 users of gas land it
probably has more than that), it will come ahead
each year $2,25O by it's present system of charg-
ing. This would almost pay the salary of the
clever man who worked out this scheme.
Our most prosperous Richmond lawyers have
been utterly unable to discover anywhere in
the contract under which the company is operat.
ing any shred of an agreement which would coun-
tenance this practice. That is enough to satisfy
those who fear the company had worked in q
clause in the franchise which would entitle it tC
carry on this scheme of charging
The management of the company argues that
the plan was adopted because it simplifes book
keeping That is matter which should have
been thought out before the contract made
If the managers overlooked one essential cost ir
maintaining the business, it is their funeral, not
the public's. They also argue that other cities
do it. If so, so much the worse for the Other
cities.
