FEW GOVERNMENTS HAVE
FACED A MORE PERPLEXING
SITUATION. Nor is this all that
thoughtful men see. The nations
debt burden is of necessity mount
ing up in u way beyond all prcce-
dent in history. More debts
mean more taxes, more taxes
mean more poverty and n further
segregation Of wealth In the
hands Of u few.
Clearly, we do not begin to pay
our war bills when we pay for the
armies In the field. Immensely
bigger bills remain behind for
generation after generation to
meet.
And yet out of even this
gloomy slough into which civili-
cation has plunged there is begin
ming to appear the PROMISE OF
SOMETHING LIKE A WAY OUT,
and about that / hope to tell be-
fore ! conclude this series.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-05-27

will that be when the row starts ?
AT present 1t is makeshifting
along on the basis of sentiment.
Delicate Ground.
Patriotism, that is. Early in
the war, by making an appeal to
the patriotic feelings OF the peo-
pie, 1t secured amendments to
the factory acts SO as to extend
wording hours far beyond the
r6&ulation eight-hour day. Under
this change, Prime Minister AS
quith boasted in his speech at
Newcastle that in the. armament
factories each worker had been
averaging 81 to SO hours a
week.
He was treading delicate
ground. For the sake of the war
and the country the workers sub
mitted to the surrender of their
eight-hour day, BUT THEY DO
NOT LIKE 1T.
The other day, for example, a
workingman in the royal arms
factory az Enfield DIED OF
OVERWORK. Since August he
had averaged so hours a week.
The coroner piOusly remarked
that he had died for his country,
but the workmen plainly do not
regard that verdict with enthu-
siasm.
Women Invade Industries.
II lost no time in giving the
railroad men what they wanted;
they are strongly organized. But
when the postoffice workers, be-
ing but ill-organized, represented
that as the war had greatly in
creased their labors and length
ened their hours they should
have the same war bonus that
had been allowed the railroad
men, the government coldly
turned them down. And so in
many lines.
At the instance of the govern
ment, some employers have all
but driven employees into the
army.
Sometimes the vacancies thus
made have been filled with
women-at lower wages.
At the end of April it was esti-
mated that more than 100000
women had gone to work in
places previously filled by men.
Bitter complaint was made
that many employers would not
promise places after the war to
men that enlisted.
Reform Too Late.
The harassed government took
this up and started a reforming
crusade among employers. In a
way 1t was too late. Most of the
harm had been done and astute
labor men understood that
WOMEN HAVE COME TO STAY
In. most of the industries they
have entered.
All these things point to fur
Their changes. The gravest of the
indications now is the increasing
demand on the part of workers
that the increased cost of living
shall be met with war bonuses. At
this moment these d,,mands,
sometimes blocked with strikes or
theo promise of strikes, come up
from all parts of the country.
I'd IL the war bonus is granted 1t
must, in all probability, become q
permanent increase. The gov
eminent is finding 1t more and
mqfe difficult to grant the in
crease to one class Of applicants
and to deny 1t to another. As
was pointed out in the reply to
the postoffice workers, to grant
war bonuses all along the line
would seriously embarrass a gov
|ernment that is under a war ex-
nense of 100000 a day.
Sec . Way Out.
Yet. on the other hand, here is
the always growing burden OF the
living cost, pressing upon every
toiler, when the old wages are
sometimes insufficient 70 sup

After all, governments seem to
be no more than HAMMER AND

government had taken over the
railroad system 1t was assa:led
with the bristling and multiplex
problem of munitions and sup:

It was to meet this extraordi-

thorized to take over bodily al

There never has been so pow.

and private ownership.
Under this policy the govern.

what will please you most, Is that you
will feel that your stomach and intes-

not need to resort to laXatfVes or liver

rather ornamental in design, but one
that is simpler and easier to make will
serve the purpose equally well.
The post should be about seven feet
long. Planted at a depth of three feet,
this would leave the box at conven-
lent height for use. The form for max

inches square. The form is laid on
the ground in horizontal position,
open side up, and then filled to depth
of one inch with well-tamped concrete.
Then three eighth-inch reinforcing
rods are placed at either side, leaving
about one inch space between each rod
and the side of the form. The box is
then filled to within one inch from the
top and two more reinforcing rods
are placed on the concrete. The form
rs then filled to the top and the con
crete is struck off.
One or more braces may be nailed

There is more geography in the af-
fairs of any farming district than in
our textbooks on geography-and it
is related to the days work. There is
more physiology and hygiene in the
feeding and care and management of
live stock and poultry than in the text
books, and it is physiology and hy-
giene in which all the family, and the
familys income are concerned. There
is more good training in language IN
tue recording of the local history and
the daily observations of the life Of
the average rural district, than is to
be found in all the language books in

ness arithmetic in the problems Of
farming than in the manuals which

hands. There is more chemistry in
farming than in keeping drug store;
more bacteriology than in practicing
medicine; more botany than in a high
