MONEY CAN'T MAKE A GARDEN

II n had all of the money In the

with this fact while looking ut some OF

The accompanying illustration will
show a case In point. Here Is II garden
where money enough has been spent
to buy a farm. Yet the figures are

THE TEACHERS UNION.-The
editor of The Day Book has most
kindly granted my request for the
privilege of giving the public such
information as l have pro and con
the unionizing of the public school
teachers. Two articles are to be
presented against federating
with labor and one for celebrating
with labor.
Words can family convey the
measure of appreciation feel for this
favor and the opportunity it affords
of presenting in fair and honest
manner both sides of the shield to
the public gaze, on this question, so
that clear conception of the mat
ter may obtain.

There are two others. Neither are

Teachers Federation. More than
half of the elementary teachers have
never joined the federation. Many of
the elementary teachers are mem

But of those teachers that are in
teachers organizations affiliated with
the Federation of Labor l would
speak. They are not the only peo-
pie drawing salaries from the public
treasury who are affiliated with the
Federation of Labor, as many people
mistakenly think.

ease, etc., in low wages. Gen. Cor

fer the real remedy-access to land.
The natural law of wages, discov-
cred by Henry George, is that wages
in all lines must approximate the
amount produced upon ordinary
land. But the land is legally held
out, so cannot offer natural wages.
Nobody cares about this vital mat
ter; got tired of it; rather hear some
thing new.
O'Hara proposes minimum wage;
many industries would close, not
yielding more than present wages;
hence many would be out of work.
Prominent women propose closer
relation between employers and our
schools; then young people can step
from school into a job. This means
that the jobs are waiting, and no.
body would know it except for the
closer relations, etc. Others want
vocational training; then the trade
unions object to such cheap labor.
If all joined unions, wages and
costs would rise together, but land
would rise the most and absorb the
gain. How long will twaddle prevail
