The National View

: FIim.Flamming the Public.-Presi-
ent Wilson's speech to business men,
In which he sought TO defend his
course regarding the railway contro-
versy, proves conclusively that Mr.
Wilson believes the public so unin-
ielligent that he can by fine phrases
successfully deceive it. His recent
entire discussion of the railway con
troversy consisted OF a defense of the
eight-hour day. And the eight-hour
day was not involved in the contro-
versy. Eight hours was chosen merely
as a measure of wages. That is all.
Mr.. Wilson says the employees demand
ed tins and. half wages for all time
in excess of eight hours a day in order
TO penalize the railway that worked its
men more than eight hours. The en-
ployes did nothing of the kind. They
were perfectly willing, as their demand
shows, to work sixteen hours day
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-09-27

at the same rate OF pay, They de-
manded ten hours pay for eight hours
work and twelve and one-half mile
speed basis. so that the man who
worked sixteen hours and made 200
mfies in that time would, receive the
same pay for each of the sixteen hours.
The man now getting 81 for ten hours
work would, under their demand, re-
ceiye 81 for eight hours work, or fifty
cents an hour. and il he was worked
sixtSen hours and made 200 miles he
would receive fifty cents an hour for
each additional hour and no more. His
pay for the sixteen hours void be IS.
The demand for time and half for
overtime affected only trainmen when
they were compelled to make less than
twelve and one-haIf miles average
speed Mr. Wilson knows the facts but
he also knows that the railway pay
schedule is complicated and he believes

to another class, II the government
is just and fair 1t will help the bust
ness man and the farmer equally and
it will prevent the small business man
and the big business man from doing
that which is wrong and taking ad-
vantage of any other class in the com
munity. That the small business
man" does not appreciate the help
which the Wilson administration pre-
tends TO have given him Is abundant
ly illustrated in Maine. There is prob
ably no state where there are so many
small business men in proportion to
population. And Maine made clean
sweep and not only elected Republic

War and the Farmer.-Does the
farmer profit by the European war?
Has it affected his prices, or is it only
the manufacturers who have greatly
prospered thereby? OF course, every
one knows that when times are good
and the factories are running full time
and paying good wages, there is a good
demand for the products OF he farm,
but few realize the amount OF food
stufrs which II takes to feed the great
European armies and those industrial
armies whose entire time is devoted in
Europe to manufacturing munitions Of
war The figures throw some light on
the question. During the first two
years OF the war the United States
sold to the belligerents gunpowder
cartridges, explosives and firearms to
the value Of 1928. 100000. But sold to
them food stuffs TO the value Of ST.
93S 100000, or nearly four times as
much, measured in value. as Of actual
munitions Of war, Can any intelligent
man fail to appreciate what this has
meant to the farmers of this country?
Why, the value of the exports of food
stuffs was sufficient to pay net profit
OF 5000 year on $500 farms. When
the war ends the 30.O00,0O0 men now
fighting and making ammunition in
Europe will return to their normal
pursuits. Now thew are only consum-
ers of food stuffs. Then a large per-
centage Of them will become produce
ers as we'll. The farmer is, therefore,
as vitality interested in Industrial pre-
paredness as the mechanic and the
artisan.

their choice. They are joining the

the Bank of Montpelier. Trees for
personal use can be gotten free Of
charge. but anyone wanting to cut
trees for the market, must take out
a sale permit from the Forest serv-
ice for the number of trees desired.
The rates are nominal.
The reasons for restricting Christ
mas tree cutting is, that cutting
without permit would make 1t very
difficult, or impossible. TO get fair
number of large trees growing on the
more open slopes of Montpelier can

these large trees both for protection
Of the city water supply, for shadC
and also for the pleasure that tho
growing trees will afford to thous

Christmas trees would remove the
very best of the young trees on Buct
slopes, while the forest is easily ablC
to furnish all the trees needed from
places where the stand is now toe
heavy. So the restriction works q

FALION FIRE LAW IN Sue
CESSFUL OPERATION

The Fallon Fire Law. a state stat
ute OF Idaho. is designed to prevent
careless burning of brush In areas
OF danger from timber fires. The
Law provides that fires may not be
set out In certain fire districts. be
tween June LIST and October lst.
without first consulting and obtain
ing permission from a state fire Of
ficer. II was put into active opera
tion this year on strip about a mile
wide. surrounding the Caribou for
est. in Idaho.
The regular forest officers served
as state officials, the supervisor a.
fire warden. and the others as dep
uty fire wardens. That the law if
effective Is shown by the fact that in
no case did the Caribou fire district
suffer damage from brush burning
during the fire season. Just closed
