consideration Of such an intricate
set Of issues as these, it is going
long way beyond the subjects with
which, in this country. II has been
commonly presumed government
was intended to deal. All this
means that the Government, which
already, by making rates, practical
ly determines the revenues the car
riers may enjoy, will also fix wages.
TO assume power to fix wages and
service conditions, means to crystal
lie more firmly than ever the au-
thority, and the necessity for exer-
cisihg the authority, over all rates.
Thus in effect the Government will
be doing about all the things that
II could do II 1t actually owned the
railroads. There will be, in the ulti-
mate development Of the matter,
everything but the actual fiscal re-
sponsibility. How long, under such
conditions. will il be possible to
avoid frank consideration of actual
Government ownership?
These are a few Of the problems
which line the vista down which we
are looking into the tomorrows;
problems that are opened up to the
nation for q consideration which will
not long be evaded. Today marks a
turn in the industrial and economic
development of the country, whose
importance will not be fully appre-
ciated now, but which will make this
date, for good or i'll, a momentous
one in our history.
There will be a vast deal Of criti-
cism of whatever is done in the rush
and confusion Of this crisis, and that
would be true, no matter what might
be done. The affair Of the moment
is to avoid the impending calamity,
which naturally looks bigger than
the chain Of consequences coming
after.

CITY GETS OPTION ON
1000 TONS OF COAL
Supply of Fuel for Philadelphia
Waterworks Assured.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-Operation
of the city's water works for at least
two months. In the event Of a railroad
strike. which might cut off temporar-
lily coal supplies. was assured. when
the department of supplies obtained
an option on 900 tons of bituminous
coal now in the city from a coal
operator who has the fuel in his yards.
Assistant Director Of Supplies Hoban
said that the option price was little in
excess of that now being paid under
current contracts for coal for the
waterworks.
The water bureau said that the coal
pockets OF each of the pumping sta
tions contain at this time three
weeks supply of fuel. The additional
1000 tons. IL the option has to be
exercised. would mean a further as
sured supply for about another three
weeks.
This week the department OF sup
plies opened bids for coal for the
pumping stations for the last three
months OF this year.
Alternative bids were submitted pro-
viding for deliveries of the coal
either by rail or by water. The prices
asked by the bidders. IL was said, av-
eraged about the same as Is now be-
Ing paid under S,Trent contracts.

HIRAM JonNsoN's VICTORY

Governor johnson, Of California,
accomplished something that was
widely believed to be utterly i'm
bossible. He won the nominations
u both the Progressive and the Re
bublican parties for Senator from
~ State. It has been conceded that
- would get the Progressive nomi-
|nation; and there was some reason
- suspect that, with the great
pewer Of that party in his State, and
his own phenomenal vote-getting
Qualities, he might be elected with
Mat nomination. But that he could
win the nominations Of both parties
seemed almost beyond imagining.
The outcome indicates that the
1spublicans and Progressives are
decidedly getting together IN the
state where the Progressives were
last to yield to the inevitable and
xsturn to the Republican fold. That
Johnson will be elected to the SEN
late Is not open to real question. That
Dds nomination also insures Repub-
|lican electoral delegation seems only
Iless certain. '~'.'
But more significant yet is the
Met that the California result dem
onstrates the substantial reunion
Of the Republicans and Progressives,
mot only in California, but through
|out the country.

The Washington Fairgrounds win not

suggested that the children were ao-

and that the danger of the scourge was
thereby lessened.

Another interesting feature Of the
program mapped out for the fall, in

There will also be a girls baseball

WHAT IS THE REASONABLE
MINIMUM WAGE?

The laborer, it is said on high au-
thority and accepted without much
question, is worthy Of his hire. But
what ought his hire to be? OF how
high a hire is he worthy?
These questions are going to be
in the front of controversy for
long time. The Government is in
substance fixing wages for the rail-
way train service employees. It COM
mits itself, by implication, to fix
wages later on for the rest Of the
railway workers; two millions Of
them in all. That is a proportion Of
the whole national working estab-
lishment SO large, and occupying SO
vital relationship to the rest, that
there must inevitably be a powerful
tendency to commit Government to
consider the universal subject of
wages as one within its purview.
So long as higher wages will buy
greater efficiency, there can be no
objection to paying more, provided
the two increase in the same ratio.
The man earning So day can be
paid 81, If he will earn the 81. Who
knows certainly that he will not?
Henry Ford started twenty months
ago on his program Of paying en-
ployes a minimum wage of S. per
day. He said he could do it and
survive, despite that his was one Of
the most highly competitive bust
nesses in the world. What has hap
pened in his experiment?
The annual report of his corpora
ton is just published. 1t shows that
in the year ended July 81, the COM
pany made profits of barely under
sec, 100000. 1t did a gross business
Of $206, 100000. It has just under
$4,000 employees, in all parts of the
world, Of whom over $4,000 are in
the great Detroit plant. Nearly
$1,000 Of the employees are getting
the IS wage, or more, per day. Be-
yond this, $l0,000,000 year is
being distributed to the employees
under the proft-sharing plan. It
would appear that the Ford expert
ment indicates that the reasonable
and safe minimum wage, even in
competitive business, is pretty
high wage. Presumably, the Ford
Company could not pay too high a
wage and live; for if it's wage were
so high as to make its product I'M
duly expensive, competitors would
get the business. The fact that the
company can compete, and live, and
grow, and earn over $1,000,000
profits a week, surely indicates that
it is not paying an excessive wage.
Emphasis must be laid on the fact
that this has been possible in
business which meets competition on
every hand. If Ford made all the
automobiles in the country, it would
be impossible to form a judgment.
The public could readily enough
conclude that it was paying the IS
day in excessive prices for its cars.
But that formula is excluded. The
public buys the Ford car in compe-
tition with scores of other cars; and
it buys them, too. No doubt of that.
Buys them because 1t wants them,
not because Ford pays SIS day,
While the question Of wages and
efficiency is just now being forced so
much into public attention, the ex-
perience Of Henry Ford's business
seems to suggest the possibility that
efficiency is quite willing to keep
step with wages throughout a long
- .,ul

take efforts to suppress false ad-

A committee Of the association
yesterday is reported to have visited
number of the so-called "cut rate
hops" and bargain houses" which
did not live up to the samples and
prices shown in windows.
After all, the movement for truth
h advertising must depend upon

FEWER LAWIERS9 WHO'D
HAVE THOUGHT ITi

To clear the courts of a mass of
eostly and unnecessary litigation,
Unparalleled before the present
generation, some folk have recon-
nended that there be fewer laws.
President Taft has been urging that
he laws Of the forty-five States be
standardized. Now along comes
Elihu Root with the suggestion that
there not only be fewer laws, but
Fewer lawyers.
More than one layman has I'M
consciously formulated the same
dea, and perhaps has lacked the
emerity to suggest it. Emerson
vlrned against this suppression Of
