GETTING EVEN.

.(From the Sanish, N. d., Sentinel.).
The writer met with another sad
experience the other day-Sunday. G.
G. Mugg, who had advertised as an
eye specialist in our paper twice, to
be here July 30, wanted to name the
price of advertising, himself. He
stated that he meant for us to pub
lish his ad only once for twenty-five
cents, but by his language when he
sent in the al. it was evident that
he meant to have it published as
many times as possible. Or II he
didn't, our advice to the old man Is
to learn little more grammar to
write more correctly. Anyway, he
wouldn't pay the bill and upon second
defeat we had temper enough to de-
stroy his "cut,' which was in our
possession, to pay for the bill. The
old fool did not seem to care-cuts
were cheap, he seemed to think, and
besides he had his own way.

WALTERS AND WAGES,

The Colorado state industrial COM
mission has made ruling which
will interest everyone who waits on
table for living, everyone who en-
ploys syaiters and everyone who ever
eats in public place. A walters
union in Denver asked the commits
sion for. a raise in wages from $3.50
to SO week. This the commission
granted, on the ground that $3.50 and
two meals day for eight hours
work is not rate which gives any
margin of saving for a rainy day.
ut is urged stated the commits
sion, that the tips which the wait
resses receive in yome of the restaur-
ants more than Offset any disadvan-
tages, and should relieve the restaur-
ant employers from paying larger
wage" This, of course, is familiar
argument. But see how the commits
sion disposes of it.:
1--WE do not believe that tips can
be taken into account in adjusting a
wage scale, and we are opposed to
the practice of employers of labor
underpaying their help upon the the
DRY or expectation thai the public
will pay the difference in tips.
Every employer should pay {. reason
able and living wage, and not expect
the public to pay part Of his wage
scale unless he is going to make cor
responding reductions to the public
in the prices which he charges"
This is rather an important prin.
ciple. Suppose a record should be
kept of restaurants where tips are
habitually given, and correspond
ing reduction be made In the prices
Of food? And suppose that the quar-
ter given black George in the Pull
man car when he brushes your coat
should automatically give you a re-
bate Of fifteen cents on your berth

POOR IMANAGEM EMIT.

Tax payers of Burleigh county are
In a mood now to demand a change
in the road building policy. Until a
well defined plan is mapped out for
the construction of arterial roads and
laterals, the citizens will have to put
up with the present patchwork sys-
tenn, which absorbs public money
without producing results.
The Tribune has made inquiries
among county surveyors who are rec.
ognized road experts and it seems to
be the unanimous opinion that the
massing of the entire road equipment
on one piece of work is an expensive
and unnecessary waste of time and
money. ES
Several counties in neighboring
states have found it Improbable to
tie up large sums of the public funds
In machinery. Better results have
been secured by letting the work to
competent contractors who have ade-
Quate machinery to do the work. 1t
would seem better policy for the
county to own only enough equipment
for road maintenance.
This, for instance, is the expert.
ence Of county surveyor who has a
national reputation as a road builder:
Here No, let contracts for road
grading, claying and graveling, mac
adamizing, etc, when possible, the
contractors supplying their own ma.
chinery. We do not employ tractors.
The county has three road rollers,
which take the place of a tractor in
working q grader. The contractors
use on heavy work elevating graders
with dump wagons. Some of them
use steam shovels with track and
dump cars"
1t is we'll known that road con.
tracts have been let in Burleigh coun-
ty to persons not equipped to do the
work and as result there has been
delay in many instances.
AS general rule, it is a poor bust
ness proposition to accumulate lot
Of machinery, the depreciation in val.
ue being too great and the first ex-
pense burden. "
In most counties where road build
Ing has been reduced to science
and has become divorced from polit.
ical manipulation, the most important
construction work is done by con.
tract, but such work incidental to
road maintenance is done by the
county crew.
What Burleigh county needs is
road expert to take charge of all of
its road building activities and ap-
ply some Of the first principles of
modern road building.

BRANDElS REFUSES.

Justice Brandeis Of the United
States supreme court has shown bet
ter judgment in declining to serve
on the Mexican commission than Will
son did when he selected him. The
Democrats puckered up their eyes In
Pecksniftian piety when Justice
Hughes resigned from the bench to
become the Republican Presidential
nominee.
It is now time to justify President
Wilson's action in placing Brandeis
on a diplomatic commission. A JUS
tice of the supreme court, until he re-
signs, should apply himself solely to
the duties of the court This COM
mission sitting in the heat of presi-
Dental campaign, may under pressure
become very partisan body, con-
cerned more with justifying Wilson's
Mexican policies than with compos-
ing conditions in the war torn repub.
lie.
With such contingency possible,
a member of the United States SUI
preme court is least acceptable for a
post Of this character.
