Smith says his informant is a telegraph
operator. working 80 years for a concern at
salary of about $40 a month"; fine
salary for a telegraph operator with 80
years experience. If the position of brake
man Is so easy and pays such an enormous
salary, why does not Mr.. Smiths friend try
to secure the position at $50 a month,
who has to walk into all kinds of danger
and weather and at all hours of the night,
and maybe he won't find 1t so pleasant as
he thinks II is.
SO far as the physician is concerned,
who has practice making $500 a year,
whoever he may be, he had better not
spend 50 much money and hours of hard
study. with the prospect of making $500 a
year, and secure a position as a railroad
conductor at the salary Of $l440 a year,
where he would not have any automobile or
medicine to buy and have all the comforts
or hrst-class transportation.
We will now take the clergymen, who
study from five to Is years to acquire their
profession. Allow me TO tell Mr.. Smith that
he is poor clergyman who spends his pre-.
cious time studying for the purpose of Sc
curing a good position in life, and not for
the good he has to do for his people.
might add that II does not apply to a priest,
who receives only 81 cents a day compensa-
ton and is subject TO calls at any hour of
the night and never kicks.

THE PANACEA
the Editor Of the Evening Ledger.

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-In your editorial, Two Kinds of
Wages" you point out what you consider a
wide difference between the Democratic
plan OF "legislatiHS wage into the pocket
of one class" and the Republican plan OF
legislating wages into the pockets of many
classes-through protective tariff schedules
designed by manufacturers. 1 fail to per-
ceive any fundamental difference in re-
suits. Both systems give special advantages
10 certain classes to overcharge the ulti-
mate consumer or user, and there is no diff
ference in principle between legislatinR
wages into the pockets of railroad employees
or into the pockets of American manufac-
turers.
Let me tell of another plan-the single
tax plan-to raise wages This plan con-
templates no new legislation, but would
De put largely In operation by the abolish
meat OF various laws that now fine or tax
the industrious and enterprising.
Every railroad manager and employe
every manufacturer and mill operative
knows that when jobs are plentiful and
iaborers are few, wages rise. and should
the conditions be maintained, high wages
would permanently prevail. They also

resultant increase in wages.
The single tax plan would merely abolish
taxes or all kinds-save a payment for the
