ON January 6 the Stce, Corporation
gave a 10 per cent. increase IN wage
to the 15U.O0O or $4,000 laborcrs en-
ployed by the company. This added be-
tw een sl5.00o.00 and 100000, 900 to the
ennual Sayroll. With the advance att
nuunccd yesterday the company has in
creased it's payroll between 1913 .00o.o 900
and S3S.00o. 600 since the first of the
year.
Before tho increase granted in Jan
Uafy the United states Steel corporation
had not announced a wage increase since
February. 1913. when 10 per cent. was
announced.
Steel men say that the Increase"
GRANTED by the independent steel COM
panies are more H the form of bonuses
for the workers, because of the pros
perity of the companies. than per-
mancntly higher WAGES. and that the bet
ter pay viii continue only as long AS
the companies do the present great
business.
The relations between tho steel Cor
rora.ion and it's employees have always
been amicahle. The company has done
a great deal to improve the home. social
n M steal conditions Of its workers.
and has erected model for the
use of the men and their families in tho
cities where the big steel plants are
located.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1916-04-19

Tho corporation has u pension scheme
and a proti, sharing plan for the benefit
Of It's employees. These are considered
both IN this country and abroad so
models. Nearly every year the en-
pioyosS Of the company are given the
opportunity To- buy common and pre-
ferred stock of the corporation at prices
below the market quotations.
The Steel Corporation was ono Of the
hrst of the big Industrial companies
In the United States to organize the
safety iirst' movement in its plants.
As the result of this campaign there
was a big reduction in the number Of
accidents.
While there arc u number Of the in
dependent steel companies that have
not announced "A new wage increase. II
n believed IN Wall Street that the ad-
vance granted by the Steel Corporation
will soon be made by all OF the other
companies.

College President
Worst, Regents, Faculty and
Students Will Back Ladd in
Reorganizatiou
PRESIDENT WORST RETIRED
Ladd Will be Real Head With
Every Department. in Col
lege Subordinate

For over two years there has
been trouble brewing in the 'Ag-
ricultura' college at Fargo. An
investigation was made but
nothing was accomplished. This
week the second disturbance
commenced but is now probably
over for the time being! PreG-
dent Worst's position will be
filled by DR.. f. F. I4add who has
been connected with the COL
lege for a number of years.
DIR. Ladd has assumed this
office with the distinct UNDER
standing that the college is to
be- organized on the Lines sug-
gested by President Worst, that
he is to be president in fact as
well as i'm name and with every
department under his control
and that none Of the present ac-
tivities of the, college, are to be-
eliminated.
Considerable of Pres. Worst s.
power had been taken away
from time to time, to which he
objected, but i'm the future there
will be but one head.
DIR. Ladd, when asked about
his election by the board of ire
gents to the presidency of the
college, stated that he had been
assured by the members of the
faculty that they were behind
him and that he saw no reason
why the work at the institution
should not 60 along in harmony
The board of regents state
that they have endeaMered TO
treat DIR. Worst with all possible,
courtesy.
Ellis salary for some time has
been $4,000 Aper ann'sm. He has
drawn about 100000 i'm salary
since he has been connected with
the agricultural college. The
board feels the Taxpayers have
paid Mr.. Wors+ we'll for his ser
vices"

Heck Perry for Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman. If the
democrats want a united and
fighting organization that can
''put things across" they can
do no better than take counsel
of Pe1ryls political advicps. This
man Perry is a live wire when
it comes to politics. We know,
because this paper has enjoyed
the edhilialation of more, than
one political battle with the
old North Dakota Record when
Heck Perry, in its columns,
fought through many a losing
battle to final victory in the ID
ection of John Burke to the gov
ernorahip. But we will say this:
He's the squarest political op-
ponent or the stanahest po-
litical friend, according to ones
viewpoint in politics, to be found
in that enticing game. -Four
years ago Mr.. Perry was a can
didate in the field of six for
the same position. A. that time
the democrats of DicIkey county
gave him a. vote Of $50 against
AZ for all other candidates-by
far the hest Endorsement accord
ed to any of the contestants in
their home country. Mr.. Perry
has been in Diclkey county for q
years where he has won his way
to business success as news
paper man, as lawyer, and as
owner Of large farming interests
throughout the county. AS a
politician he is shrewd and re-
sourceful, with a faculty at or
ganization that even the .1'epub-
licans admit is superb. With
out pinning the faith of The
Leader ito the horoscope Of a
democratic success, We are sure
his party can make no selection
of National Committeeman witt
more real political merit in, it
than would be it's choice of II. Fl.

These are revenue bonds to- meet

It would appear from section
1872 of the constitution and the
opinion of the supreme court
in the case Of Board Of Universi-'
ty and School Lands VS.. Nc
Mellen, that North Dakota now
has a state debt of 100000 in ex-
cess Of the constitutional limit.
Without amendment to the con-
stitution no money can be raised
by bonding for. the proposed
capitol;
Theae remains but one avenue
securing the. necessary 100000
or one million dollars 20 carry
oqt the ambitions Of New Rock
ford; that is, direct levy. As the
constitution Of the state is con-
streled by the supreme court it
limits the state levy to- four
mills, plus interest on the public
debt and provisions for a sink
ing fund, and there can be no in
crease in the rate Of levy. State
Auditor Carl O. .Jorgenson esti-
mates that the present revenues.
in spite of the increase of more
than siixtysfive millions in the
assessed valuation this year, are
yet 5000, 600 a year less than the
expenditures. With every in-
crease of 800, 100000 in the as
se.sed valuation but 100000
state revenue is produced, SO
that the only method open is
to increase the assessed valuation
Of the state to- about 500, 100000
which without a thorough over
hauling Of revenue and taxation
laws Of the state would entail an
increase in the tax burden in
the state of from five to nix
million dollars.

uantages taken in conjunction
with the fact that our soil is of
the best and representative Of
the real North Dakota soil; that
there is dissatisfaction over the
present location of the farm
school throughout the state and
over the manner in which it is
conducted, gives to us "a basis
upon which we can conduct an
energetic and successful !. CAM
paign for the removal of the Ag-
ricultural College from Fargo to
Washburn. A farm school
should be for the farmers, it
should be located where the
farmers could benefit by it, it
should be run So that the farm
ers know what's going on. All
the trouble and dissension that
has been going on at Fargo latel
might have been caused by no
outside force, but to a man up
a tree, it looks much like the
Chamber of Commerce might
have had hand in trying TO-
usurp a little more Of the power
that the farmers Of the state
are trying to retain. There is
no time like the present for the
movement. We will have plenty

faction with the location and
