Shippers Will
Pay for it

The following editorial from the
Yakima Republic furnishes much
food for thought for the shipper
and every farmer and business man
is shipper to greater or less ex-
ktent-for it seems apparent that if
the demands of the railroad en-
Iployes is granted, freight rates
must be raised:
"Luke Grant, special agent of
the United States Industrial COM
mission, commenting on the de-
mand of the railroad workers for
an eight hour day, shows that the
question which it raises is merely
the question whether the public
will stand for increased freight
and passenger rates amounting to
considerably over $100,000,000 a
year. He says: To meet the de-
mands Of the employees, the rail-
roads would have to find about
$lO0, ,0O0, 900 a year to add to their
pay roll 1t probably would not
stop there, for if the roads have to
pay an advance to their employees
in train service, who are now rel
atively we'll paid, they will have to
advance the wages of all other
classes of labor. Railroad Officials
say they cannot meet the demands
on their present revenues. Their
annual statements indicate that
such is the fact. That is their
problem. 1t does not concern the
employees who are demanding high
er wages and shorter hours. But
! it should concern the public. Ev-
cry citizen will have to bear his
share of the cost and suffer his
share of the inconvenience which
an interruption to railroad service
must entail. The question f,r the
public to consider, therefore, is
whether it is willing to assume an
additional burden so that a favored
group, which has the economic
power to enforce it's demands may
be still more highly favored. That
is the proposition in nutshell
from an impartial point of view.
1t has been said that men in rail
road service are relatively we'll
paid. Whether they are paid
enough for the services they per.
form to the public is debatable
question. 1t will never be an
swered satisfactorily. In these
days, when we are discussing mini
mum wage laws and attacking
parasitic" industries it must be
conceded, however, that the rail-
roads are not parasitic" employ
ers. They are not in the class Of
employers who pay below, or even
close to, what is commonly under
stood as the bare existence line.
The earnings of train service crews
on the average are the highest Of
any group of wage workers in the
country

all dining cars will be bedecked with
Easter lilies. Careful selections of
the flowers to be used have been made.
In anticipation of the natural desire

Three Stages Are
Found in Campaign
Against Mortality
State Board Of Health Bulletin Shows
Risks in Childhood, Early Man.
hood and Middle Age

In planning our campaign against
deaths between the ages of two and
fifty we may divide our work into
three periods, namely, from two to IA,
IA to 35 and from IS to so, says a
press bulletin of the Washington state
board Of health.
Between the ages of two and Is we
have to contend with the so-called dis
eases of childhood, such as scarlet
fever, diptheria, measles, whooping
cough, etc. We are now giving much
attention to scarlet fever and diph.
iberia, but little attention is paid to
measles and whooping cough. The re-
suit is that measles is killing more
people in our state than is scarlet
fever. In this we do not differ from
other states, but Washington does not
want to be like other states, we want
to be better than other states.
Measles is killing more people than
is scarlet fever, not because it is a
more severe disease, but because we
look on it as harmless disease and
allow children to be exposed to it
, when we would take great care to
protect them from scarlet fever or
diphtheria. The same is true, only

more so. of whOoping cough, for
whooping cough is killing more people
than is measles and for the same rea-
son that measles is killing more than
is scarlet fever.
If we are going to reduce our death
rates between the ages of two and Is
we must Immediately begin to treat
measles and whooping cough with just
as much respect as we do scarlet fever
and diphtheria. To accomplish this a
large amount of educational work will
be required.
In our next period, from Is to 35,
we have to contend chiefly with that

disease which should not be allowed
to exist in any civilized community,
namely, typhoid fever. Typhoid is
practically eradicated from our cities,
but it continues to claim it's quota OF
victims as a result OF infections in
rural districts.
To eradicate this disease from rural
districts is simply problem of edu-
cation. Its eradication is not an eX-
pensive problem, it is simply matter
of attention to details. Clean lumber
camps, clean road camps, clean rail-
road construction camps and clean
farms together with protection of our
streams from pollution will eliminate
this death dealing disease from our
state.
Then in our next period, from 80 to
so we have to deal with those insidi-
Gus diseases of the kidneys and blood
vessels. 1t is not so much matter
of preventing these diseases as OF de-
tecting them in time to cure them.
Very few people suspect either of
these diseases until they are far adj
vanced
How frequently people learn that
they have well advanced disease of
the heart or kidneys only when they
are examined for life insurance. These
people think they are well, though
when they come to think OF it, they
have not been feeling quite up to
standard for some time, in fact that
is what induced them to take out the
life insurance. Had they been exam
ined a year or two years before the
disease would have been detected and
cured very probably by simply regu-
lating the diet.
