GOVERNMENT SHOULD
REGULATE WAGES.

II set of conditions have
arisen which oblige the govern
ment to regulate rates, then it
is equally obliged. on the basis
of economic analysis. to regulate
wages accordingly. Having TAX
en- one step. it must take the
other. The logic of events is
forcing this dilemma on the gov
ernment. 1t is tn public which
sooner or later must pay for the
increased expenses of transpor.

Dollar in Service for Every Dollar
in Taxes.

Calumet News)
Candidate Sleeper is making a good
impression in the copper country He
would, as governor, aim to inject
modern business methods into the
conduct of state affairs, and as sue
cessful business man himself, and
through experience gained as state
treasurer, he is well equipped to intro.
duce business administration. He
would give full dollar of service for
every dollar of taxes. For one thing,
he suggests uniform public accounting.
He would have the same bookkeeping
in all counties and townships. He be
lieves q plan of annual audits of these
accounts would be feasible, well worth
while, and not too expensive. Some
form of the budget system he believes
should be put in effect The appropri-
atoms should be made less matter OF
legi slatorse crambling for their share of
the aggregate amount and more surely
q matter that is determined by careful
survey of the states needs as whole,
and in their proper relationship. Mr..
Sleeper is fully awake to the condition
that the curbipg of extravaganza in the
handling of public funds and the en-.
couragement of greater efficiency in
administration are vital issues, and he
leaves no doubt that IL he should be
elected governor he would give con
structive thought to their attainment.

are concerned in. He is supposed to
be a cracker-jack sleUth. He is the
detective who, some time ago, was
found to be drawing double pay, one
envelope from the big stores and an
other from the city.
McGuires plea to the judge was
Send i'm up. He's guilty"
Judge Mahoney gave Doore
chance to explain his act but the
man had little to say.
81 can see nothing that 1 can do
but send you over" the judge then
said
1.-THE mans wife is here" Doore's
lawyer broke in. LET her talk"
Don't ring in the mans wife,
snapped the Judge. 81 am human,
but don't want to be Influenced by
his wife in my decision.
Then the lawyer said he would like
to explain a little side matter in the
case. He whispered to the judge.
Maheney's face frightened. THAT
is something else again"
DoOre's lawyer summoned some
one from the rear of the courtroom.
A mere slip of a girl stepped forth.
She was the wife in the case. Violet
was her name and she looked the
part. Frail, pretty and but 10 years
of age.
"This little woman is absolutely
dependent upon her husband for sup
port" DOOre's lawyer said. Her
husband was only getting SIS a week
from Rothschild & Co. for work as
a drug clerk. They had a hard
enough time getting along as it was.
And now if the bread winner of the
family is "sent over" where will this
little girl be? In a few months there
will be another mouth for Doore to
feed. The stork is expected to visit
their home. Is it better for the man
to be in Jail not supporting his fam
lily, and his wife starving, or is it bet
ter for the man to be out working

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS GIVE A
SECRET JAKE LOEB TEA
Some more regular Jake Loeb stuff
was pulled off in Chicago yesterday.
This time it was the Principals club
which acted ION the quiet"
A special meeting of the Principals
club was called for yesterday at 8.
When they met letter was read to
those present by VIM. Hedges. It
gave the Loeb system a clean bill and
asked that Loeb be reelected head
of the board of education.
When the reading was finished
some argument arose as to whether
or not Loeb was a civil service
wrecker. Before much was said, the
matter was rushed to a vote on
whether they should send Loeb the
letter.
John Stube, president of the club,
asked for an aye vote and he got
response from about half of the prin-
cipals present. When nays" we're
called none answered, so Stube noti-
fed LOeb'h he had been congratulated
by unanimous vote of the club.
But there were more unusual fea-
lures to the meeting. 1t was not an
nOunced to the newspapers, only two
papers knew the meeting was sched-
UIed. Principals were called up on
the phone and told to attend.
Twenty-four of the thirty-one
members of the board of directors
saw fit to attend the Loeb tea. Re-
porters were barred.

SECOND HAND
TONNAGE NOW
At HIGH LEVEL
Amazing Increase in Value
Of Steamships Being
Reported.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Jan. 2.-The value of sec
ond hand steam tonnage continues at
a very high level. An instance Is a
deal concluded recently whereby a
Belgian shipping concern acquires the
"Dowgate Steamship Company" This
company has six steamers of from
5000 to 1000 tons each, the capital is
$3.50, 900 and in 1914 made a net
profit of S65, 900; it has $500, 900 cash
on deposit, $3.50, 900 In war loans and
$750, 900 to come from uncompleted
voyages. The exact purchase price
is not divulged but it is believed that
shareholders in the English company
will get a cash payment of SO per
share for every five shares held. They
will retain their holding in the old
company and receive five per cent
while it is stated there viii be suffi-
Gent surplus to form q new concern
after the war, when it is expected a
drop in ship values win occur. As
the fleet totals about 10000 tons the
payment for the transfer works out
at about $75. per ton.
The chief reason for the transfer
of such an attractive concern, over
and above the good cash payment, is
the prospective profit tax and pos
sible further government requisition-
ing of tonnage.
