COMMISSION AT WORK

The state educational survey com

lature, agreed last Saturday on the
principal lines of the educational in

Butler hotel, at Seattle. The COM
mission also decided to appoint f. p.

conduct detailed survey of the
three state normals, the state uni
versity and the state college. Mr.
Capen will be assisted by an educator
of his own choice.
At the conclusion of Capen's in
vestigation the commission will sum-
mon three educators who are not en-
gagged with the federal bureau who
will act with p. =. Claxton. commits
sioner of education. These four and
the commission will work together
on final recommendations. The Ca.
pen survey will present data upon
which the legislators and educators
may act.
The three points raised upon
which the general survey will pro-
coed and the commission make an
swer to the next legislature are:
Is education in Washington cost
ing toe much?
Is there an unnecessary duplica-

What should be the relationship
between the common school and
higher education?
The members of the commission

where he unhitched from it in the

in the field. The pillow is where it
was last used. The lawn mower is

STATUS OF FARM LABOR

Few things could be more de-
ceptive than the inference drawn by
some farm laborers on comparing
their wages and hours of work with
those of their city cousins" says O..
R. Johnson of University of Missouri
college of agriculture, after very
careful study of the farm labor prob
lem in one Missouri county and a
general review of the situation in the
state as a whole. He finds that the
average Missouri farm laborer works
about 9.64 hours day for 1913 cents
an hour in money and board.
When employed by the month the
farm hand receives an average of 1922
with, or $29 without, board. During
harvest time he may be temporarily
employed at an average of about
$3.50 day with board or So a day
without board. The average wages a
day during other seasons is from
$1.10 to $1.40. These wages may
not seem very high as compared with
from Is to 80 cents an hour in the
city, but this is where the fallacy of
comparing such incomes begins to ap-
pear. The city laborer is probably
more likely to find himself out of
work without any fault of his own
and will certainly have to spend
much more for board. room and prac-
tically every other item OF expense,
to say nothing of his greater tempta-
ton to spend money foolishly.
1t has been estimated that during
the last 20 years wages have in
creased 90 per cent in the manufac-
turing industries and SO per cent on
farms. indicating that the lot OF the
farm Iaborer is improving more rap
idly: although, of course, such fig
ures tell us nothing about his well
fare as compared with that of his
city cousin, either now or 20 years
ago.
Perhaps one of the greatest sur
prises to be found in Mr.. Johnson S
figures centers about the length OF
the work day on the farm. In the
industries there has been an agita-
ton for a reduction to 1O-hour

Tariff Cham es Not to the Point.

No tariff legislation and no changes
in the existing tariff laws can aid i'm
ports into this country from Europe
or block England from securing such
trade as she may seek.
This is the opinion Of Representa-
tive Cordell Hull of Tennessee, a men,
Der of the house ways and means com
mittee, and the answer to the sugges-
ton that a nonpartisan commission
of experts be appointed to consider
changes in the tariff to meet condi-
tons that will arise after the war.
Judge Hull declared that the United
States need not fear competition from
Europe after the war, because the peo-
pie of the European nations will be
too much engaged building up their al
most ruined industries.
The devastation being wrought in
Europe by the val will render un-
necessary any changes in tariff laws
in this country for the next ten or
twenty years, because there can be
no serious competition with the prod
ucts Of this country" explained Nr.

a strip of lumber between the fence

about Ave inches wide to the tree

FOR CAMPAIGN FUND
Why Republican Party Clings to
Tariff Issue.
Leaders Realize They Can Not Win,
But Contributions From Special
interests Viii Enable Them
to Control Machine.

1t is no disinterested devotion tc
the principle Of extreme protection
that is turning the Republican lead
ers back to the tariff as their main
issue in 1916.
The Republican organization needs
money for campaign purposes. Fed
eral and state legislation has prac-
tically dried up the railroad and Wall
street fountains hat nee gushed SO
plenteously. The special interests that
rob the consumer by capitalizing high
tariffs are the only certain supply
that remains. Wool and cotton and
steel are always ready to trade cash
for legislation, and by selling out the
Republican party to these infant in
dustries a campaign fund car be as
sured.
That is why the average Republican
politician is willing to stake the 1916
election on the tariff. He knows his
party will probably be defeated, but
he also knows that the organization
will be provided with the sinews of
war without which the standpat ele.
ments cannot maintain their control
over the machine.

fers to the Progressiyes are unlike the
~extravagant proposals that emanate
from time to time from the European
belligerents. AS the leader of his
party, there can be no question of his
authority to speak for It. When he
says that reunion is possible only as
Progressives become Republicans and
abandon the serio-comic program ID
which they subscribed at Chicago, he
emphasizes an obvious fact.
Republicanism has become a fixed
belief. It is not the same as the Re-
publicanism of Lincoln's day, when it
was leavened with Free-Soilism and

What influence will the present
tendency to mule breeding have upon
the horse supply of the future? The
high prices and the scarcity of mules
have suggested to many farmers and
horse raisers both, North and South
the d~esirability of raising mules from
the standpoint Of sales for profit.
There Is an increased demand for
large mares to breed mules. This
tendency is not confined to any par
ticular locality. 1t is not alone in
the northern horse raising states, but
ia spreading in the South. Carloads
of large young mares have been pur-
chased and shipped into the heart
of the southern states for the Joint
purpose of teams and mule raising.
The mule is gaining in popularity for
team work wherever the horse and
mule are in use.
The tendency to mule preference
seems to be based Ipon economy of
service in team work on the farm and
wherever horse power is demanded.
The demand for more mules means
mares employed in the raising OF
