The Labor Situation.

The whole country is up against the
labor problem. with each and every
industry suffering as much rs any OF
the others.
Never has there been n more dis
tressing situation with regard to agri-
cultural labor, and never have the
farmers been more anxious with re-
gard TO the outlook.
Clearly there is not enough labor
in the country TO gather the crops. II
Is we'll known truisn that one man
can make more than two or three can
gather. Throughout the county some
several hundred draft men have been
allowed deferred classification. and
now all these have gone and left the
gathering of what they have made 10
others.
Although the country has a good
deal more produce than can be gath
cred by the laborcrs who made 1t, II
has no more than it needs.
Somebody has TO gather everything
that has been made and the problem
is up TO us.
The people who have not been do
ing very much heretofore, those peo-
pie who have been standing back
while the regular laborers have been
making the crops must now, come for
ward and help do the gathering.
That is, these must be ready when
the time comes.

There has been some discussion oi
issues in the guhcrnatorial race. Mr.
Coopcr says taxes cannot bc reduced
and Mr.. Richards says they can. Mr..
Cooper wants to substitute a loan syS-
ten to aid in the education of poor
boys anl girls rs Il substitute for the
free scholarship system for which
MIR. Richards stands. To this extent
at least the people are offered some
thing to think about. But so far as
the senatorial race is concerned. we
have not Yet heard of n single reason
why amy particular candidate should
be elected except the alleged disloyalty
OF BlcaSc. who claims TO be as loyal
as any of them. 1t is conceded of er-
crybody who stops To think a moment
that Mr.. Wilson is running the ma
tional government. and that Rcpuh-
licans like Democrats are supporting
him To the limit. and as every candi-
date in the race protests his intention
to support Mr.. Wilson with all the
ability that III him lies. II would seem
that about the only question there. Is.
which candidate has the most ability?
so far Us We are concerned. we think
taxes can bc reduced and ought TO be
reduced.

From 18 to as

The draft age limits will hcrcaftcI
hc fixed at from Is TO Is. if the bill
proposed by the war department anC
introduced in both houses Of congress
Yesterday becomes Il law.
The army experts have all along
been in favor of an age limit as low Il.
eighteen years. and they pressed harc
for this limit in the first original drai'
hill. but congress would not stand fol
il. and fixed the minimum limit al
twcnty-onc years.
The principal argument at the time
WAS that it WAS unfair to put a man
in the army before nc had right tC
vote as if that had anything to dc
with the matter: hut congress had its
way for the time being. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the testimony OF
military history throughout all tim:
has been that the young men who &c
into training between the ages oi
eighteen and twenty-five make the
best soldiers.
The men OF the original draft IN the
.l-3l years limit have about been used
up. and the local boards everywhere
are now calling new levics from the
class that became u years Of age pre-
viouS to June last.
AS TO what congress is going to dc
about the proposed new limits, has
not yet been definitely determined;
but it is reasonably certain that the
recommendations of the army experts
will be accepted without much ques-
tion.
AS to how many more men are to
bc called, of course is not known
That depends upon how many will bc
necessary To bring the German empire
to its knees and to do the necessary
Strengthening out and settling up OF
affairs in Europe after the war. 1t is
icaSonahly certain that that many
will be called and possibly also a few
hundred thousand more.
ON the basis of what has been the
clearly established policy of the gov
crnm,nt heretofore, if the new sched
ulc is enacted into law. the men OF
from 20 to u will br called first
There will he close 10 Il million of
them. The men of from ~ to 20 will bC
called next, and the men OF Is to 1g
will he called last. Between these
three years, there will probably be
available about as many men as have
been obtained from the first draft OF
from Il TO 81.
From the 81 to &c classes. the per-
ccntagc of draftccs will be much
smaller. The main idea of placing
these older men in the draft is to ia
cilitate the work or fight" principle
Within the 31-I6 class there are thou
sands of able bodied men who are
without dependents and who are not
engaged in useful occupations. and
who will be of more use in the army
than anywhere else. This class also
includes not few men who by rea-
son OF their special qualifications are
needed for administrative activity OF
Various kinds: but who are not now
available except as volunteers.
There is no question about the fact
that the new law will facilitate the
of the military ma
chine in all its working parts. and
greatly increase the war power of
the nation.
