Editorial Opinion
CONGRESS' POWER OVER WAGES
From the New York Tribune.

NONWAEoN' IVN Eh UNEh WAUEos
From the New York Tribune.
OF all the railroads which threat
ened to test the constitutiOnalty OF
the so-called eight-hour law the Union
Pacific is the first one actually to file
its suit. 1t alleges that the statute is
not a proper regulation Of interstate
commerce, that it violates the consti-
tutional prohibition against the tax
ing Of property without due process
OF law, and that it is unworkable un-
der the conditions that exist on that
railroad, in support Of which conten-
tion elaborate schedules Of working
hours are annexed to the bill OF com
plant
Now that Election Day has passed,
there can be no question of politics
in the fling OF this suit There has
never been half so much question OF
the constitutionality OF the Adamson
act as there has been Of its wisdom
and justice. Nevertheless, as mat
Ter OF form and precedent it is emf
nently desirable to have the courts
pass on the question and get IL set
tied. OF course, this suit will strip
the law of any character 1t may still
falsely preserve as measure limit
ing the hours of work. The ques-
tion at issue actually will be
whether Congress has power to fix
wages. And, since one combination
OF unions showed ability to extract
compliance with its demands from
craven Congress. it is to be expected
that similar situations will arise in
future as unions wax ambitious. 1t
will be well for the country to have
the opinion of the Supreme Court on
that question as a guide in all future
social Justice legislation.

it every day you live. Boost it

Did YOU ever stop to think that
the stranger is the most skeptical
creature that ever dropped into
a community? He knows abso-
lutely nothing about conditions
or surroundings. He has come
TO learn all these things. he In
alert and anxious to hear every
thing that is said and even every
word that is passed between in
dividnals of the same commune

thing for himself. but must rely
upon the people who live here to
enlighten him.
1t does rot pay TO over boost
either. This as bad as knocking.
Be reasonable in boosting your
place. Your strange friend did
not come expecting to find rose
garden. Lead him to understand
that the place Is open to devel-
opment-that is the thing that
appeals tn him. He is hunting
for a community where the Open
ing are not all taken up, where
he can start and develop with
the country. If you can make
him understand that this is a
good place to live, where he can
made a living with reasonable
amount of work. and develop as
time goes on, the chances are
strong that he will later become
permanent resident, If he is out
looking for location.

Steamboat Springs Pilot At
least the railway companies, in
refusing the eight-hour law, were
consistent on one point. They
said the cost to them would be
500, 1000, 900. This is the same
amount they estimated when
they opposed the air-brake law,
the safety coupler, and again the
installation of the electric head
lights. In short, any public de-
mand for railway reform always
costs 100000, ,OOO-until it is
installed, when, Of course, it be-
comes "a measure OF efficiency
