THE OFFICE SEEKERS.

The office seeker and the brood of office seekers make for mo good in the community. The mania for office. personal ambition the itch for aggrandizement drift them far from fixed or steadfast principles of any kind. They make ward robe oi political faiths and sally forth ill the sunshine of the for tunes of the party which may be uppermost; loudly mounting their orthodoxy
 This is the mad whose actions are under cover b2sm ouded in mystery becauc afraid of unfavorable publi- city Pregnant with &n irresistible desire for public office he is the real demagogue Of the most dang erous and blighting kind.

conditions by applying the withheld wages to unreasonable personal uses, in lavish and wasJcfU oXpeu- ditures, not even remotely coYauct- cd with production or development. Some of these use are arrogantly insulting to the labor which made them possible, such as making over lords of his family, the towering of the wiye3 of the scorbutic flag ends of a European nobility re gime, long repudiated, and the re- mobilization of foreign estate whose existence is both a menace and an obstacle to the labor of other lands.
 The writer believes however that small complaint at these conditions would be heard from labor in it's present tate of enlightenment if the original ratio of reward were restored. Seventy years ago Labor received approximately eighty three dollars of each hundred of wealth production. That was the neces- sary subsistence point at the time Now it is not eontended that the sub -istencc has decreased but it is true that the ratio of reward in wages, in spite of all the resistence activities. has constantly diminish ed until, by the census of 1910, it is only seventeen out of every hundred dollars of wealth produc- tion. The difference has gone to make the billionaire and the many multimilliOnaires, whom no one will contend are necessary in the light of our share-hoiding invest ment machinery, or that the total wealth would be less if more even ly distributed.
 Estimating going wages at three dollars a day to restore even that ratio would be to put the average wage today at about fifteen dollars d duN ttIN SlllI ltdNt lOI lllNl Cd GU production and development an adequate reserve. To do this it is admitted that you would have to Top off much of the fungus and pa rasitic growth upon production. Then to maintain that ratio per pctually. that is to give the labOrer

. This is equivalent to the legal rate of interest yearly on about twelve thou and dollars. But it is the earning capacity of the workers physical body, capable of pain upon , inflicted or accidental injury, cap able of hearthache, of anguish and of sorrow. Is any less to be re- garded than $12.00O cash? Who denies that the worker literally in vest himself? Suppose then that we regard him is a Stockholder ac- lively, with a stockholders voting powers and participating in the proceeds, increases, surpluses and re-inyestments on a basis and with all the privileges that go with such cash investment. Certainly, let him stand the decreases propor- tionately. He might be a bit more careful but the morale of industry would be raised. 0, yes, if the bo S works as directed by the stOckh0ld- CTS, allow him $12,OOO in addition to his cash.
 This is thc most conservative basis upon which the capital and labor trouble. can be settled It would not be whole justice but it would result in that at about the third regular and semi-annual stockholders meeting.
 Unemployment.
 This is the most acute of labor problems. It is the problem of Labor; not of Capital. The unem- ployed are an asset. or rather an innocent ally of Capital to the point where their numbers clutter up the by-ways and begin burglar izing, lead-piping and equally inno- cent but direct methods of expro- priation.
 The writer believes that an ac- tual solution ot the unemployed problem would solve all the pro blcms or lead to such solutions.
 I suggest the following formula:
 Aet the work to be done for gi.en period oe estimated in terms of hours, allowing d margin for emergencies and ,lisa sters. Divide that number by the number of !aborers availa ble and let the quo tient be the average length of the working day in hours.
 am of the opinion that such a permanent removal CT absorption of the workers outside the gates would soon give those on the in side the mastery of industry the estate to which in point of numb CTS and ill poirt of actual demo- cracy, they are so justly entitled.
