of the war that it would be necessary
to invest five billion dollars in new
equipment to bring the railroads up to
the present day needs, let the road
beds and railroad equipment deteiorr-
ate thru their greed for dividends.
That the government is facing an
enormous task in taking over the rail-
roads for good is plain from a state
ment of a prominent railroadman who
is quoted in the Cleveland Plain Deal
er as saying:
1t may not sound exciting or strike
the imagination as a huge undertake
ing, but literally untold millions will
have to be poured into trackage con-
nections and additional terminal ia
cilities SO that the sidetracks and
terminals of the various roads can be
linked into one system. Only when
this is done will the use of railroads
as single system be possible to the
fullest extent 1t will relieve the con-
gestion in yards and terminals more
than anything else.
But it is our humble opinion that
UncleSam will be equal to the task.
That the principle industries with
the exception of those directly under
government control had virtually col
lapsed thru the inability of the rail-
roads to give adequate service and
that something other than private con-
troll over them is absolutely necessary
is plain to all. The idea that such an
enormous task as the management
of the railroads can be better perform
ed thru the efforts of individuals as
has been the contention of most of
the sO-called professors of economy
teaching at institutions endowed by
capitalists has been exploded That
something will have to be done is
plain to even the most dense intel
lect because it is ridiculous to imagine
that after peace has been made our
troubles will cease automatically.

to establish a more equitable form
of government on this earth, dreHched

humanity A World not dominated
by spirit of hatred and revenge, ex-
pressing itself in a trade boycott but
by human brotherhood.

tion manufacturers and other profit
teers) or weary of the war. They
have been subjected to the present
capitalists form of government too
long and have seen its faults in the
most blaring form. 1t took this
world struggle to open the eyes of the
people as nothing else could have
done. Untold misery has been brot
upon the world thru this war but
this cataclysm will do more to adj
vance the cause of labor the world
over than century of peace. 1t is
up to the working people to insist up
on justice being dealt to them.
Only lack of harmony and divided
counsel among themselves can wreck
this movement.

more acceptable to the common peo-
pie. That some step in this direction
must Ic taken has been fully made
plain at alone to the people but to
the government since this country en-
tered the war as an active participant.
Look at Germany, faced as she was
by ring of powerful enemies and who
We're capable of an Irresistible cam
paign, her railroad equipment has
served her military and industrial
needs. Germany has had lots of
trouble in a social way but the-pro-
duction for her fighting forces has
been kept up, Notwithstanding her
lack of raw material while the whole
industrial system in the United States
collapsed. We have an immense sys-
tenn of railroads in this country, but
their only excuse for being in exist
ence was profit. The needs of the
country were a secondary considera-
ton with the financiers Bleeding
the people thru excessive railroad
rates and stock jobbing on Wall Street
were the mainsprings and causes thru
which most of the great fortunes of
the so-called American magnates have
been amassed.
Why should the whole industrial
system in the U. S. have collapsed?
If not for the reason that the rail-
roads and industries did not come up
to the needs of the people
We had plenty of miners, yet suf-
fered a shortage of coal thru mis-
management and incompetence of the
responsible railroad officials. who or
their superiors the directors not heed

WORK HARD AND DON'T WORRY
If There May Be Said to Be Recipe
for Long and Happy Life,
Why, There 1t Is.

America is anxiously scanning the
sensitive to the dread possibilities of
war. Yet, if we paused to think, we
should find, as the Equitable Life AS
Sursnce society has deducted from its
vast experience in mortality data, that
'worry kills more men than war and
disease put together" We read of those
killed in action, dead of wounds, ac-
cidentS or disease at the front, and
our hearts are wrung for the loss of
these brave boys, but day by day
larger company falls out of our own
ranks here at home to answer the last
call, the Pittsburgh Dispatch observes.
Some are spoken of as victims
of hard work, of overexertion, but If
the truth were known, it would be
found it was worry that FASTENED their
end. Hard work never killed anyone.
1t is worry that kills.
A young man, for instance, rises to
the head of a good business or to some
other responsible position. Perhaps
he begins to slacken, to ease up lit
tie, and leaves the details to his sub
ordinates. Things do not move as
smoothly, and, when he wakes. up, he
finds he has lost his grip of affairs and
begins to worry. His friends think
hard work killed him, but it was worry
that shortened his years. While he
was fighting his way upward his work
pnprOSspd him nS II will any man
capable of career. Work left him no
time for worry. Keep pegging away.
Worry is the grain of dust that up
sets the fine balance of the human
mechanism, brings loss of power, slow
ing down the engine and ultimately
racking 1t to pieces.
Bear in mind that "worry kills more
men than war and disease put togeth-
err" and so shape your life and hab-
ituate your mind that you cannot be
victim.

LABOR

We have in Idaho, citizens and
aliens-some subject to draft, others
who are not-who are unwilling to
work for any stipulated figure if
they thought their refusal to work
would force the payment Of a higher
wage.
Idaho has arranged a wage scalt
which is as high or higher than that
paid by any other state in the |
ion for like agricultural labor. That
scale has been approved by the State
Council of Defense as just and reason
able. All our popers published in the
state have been provided with that
wage scale. We now most respectful
ly ask all our papers to publish that
wage scale in every issue of their
paper for the benefit Of thsir read
ers for a period sufficiently long that
all their patrons may become fully
quainted with it. 1t is in condensed
form as follows:
For harvest hands, 800 for a
day of ten hours with board, and
a maximum OF 45c an hour for over
time. Monthly wage. $4,000 with
board; or for married men who board
themselves, $4,000 a month with
suitable housing. For Expert irri--
gators, $500 a month and board.
We respectfully ask all farmers
employing help to abide by that
scale that there may be no compe-
titive bidding against fellow farmers,
and that the laborer may be assured
his wage and protected in obtain
ing it.

Horses Jumping Powers.

If the reader will carefully measure
out 80 feet an idea of a horses capac-
Ity in this direction will be gathered.
Such distance q steeplechase horse
called Old Chandler is reported to have
covered at Warwick many years ago;
and there is more than one apparently
authentic record of a horse clearing
over seven feet in height. The scene
of such an exploit was at the Phoenix
park, Dublin, and the horse was called
Turnip. The animal belonged to Sir
e. Crofton, and the duke of Richmond
then lord lieutenant Of Ireland, wa
gared $500 that this height could not
be cleared. A wall Of the requisite di-
mansions was built, and when finished
Turnip was ridden at it. He did what
was asked of him in perfect style, but
it happened that his grace, not know
ing that the feat was ready for per-
Torrance, was not looking when the
jump was made, and Turnip was there
fore ridden over it again, not only Sue
cessfully, but easily.-London Tit-Bits.
