American lives and property must be

WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?

Those land buyers in Iowa at fancy
prices may also be somewhat upset OPP
the efforts to put prices down. Ihey
have been acting like financial IDIOTS
many of them and when they have
to pay per cent on $500 per acre and
add the taxes and repairs on the
farms, they will begin to do some
thinking Of their own and 1t will De
like the thinking OF the drunkard the
morning after. We have been trying
to tell them this all the time and some
Of the spectators have not liked IT,
but 1t is true. They were proceeding
on the theory that the marking up OF
prices for farm products could go on
forever even II corn went up to ten
dollars n bushel, hogs to one hundred
dollars a pound. They went so lar
crazy that they believed that nothing
could ever be lower again. but that
it could forever go higher until we
were all lifted up into some lunatic's
heaven.
The need now Is for men to keep
their feet on the ground, but they
must not undertake to pay thousand
dollars for an acre out in the coun-
try, where hereafter corn must be
raised and that in the sweat OF some
ones face and the corn will have to
be sold far below present prices.

GRANT THE INCREASE.

Postoffice employees OF the country
clerks and carriers--are united in an
effort to secure an increase in wages.
They claim they are underpaid, and
that their pay, practically the same
for several years, will not permit them
To meet living expenses.
The postal employees are right in
their contention. They are underpaid,
as compared TO men in other lines of
work, whose wages have gone up
steadily with the increased cost of
living. Only since July l carriers and
clerks have been getting a maximum
OF 1880. or Sl25 per month. Last year
they drew sl,4OO, or s1l66S 2-3 cents
a month. From l907-twelve years ago
until July last year, the pays was
S1,2cO, or 800 per month.
1t readily can be seen that twelve
years ago the clerks and carriers were
receiving more nearly what it cost to
live and rear a family, but in those
twelve years the cost of living has
increased much beyond the increase Of
$500 made in salaries. Consequently
they are asking for a minimum OF
81, 500, and a maximum Of s2,400. They
may not get the maximum, but they
should at least have the minimum.
The carrier service of the postoffiCe
demands Younger men and young men
are not attracted by small wages. The
department shows no distinction be-
tween old men in the service and the
younger blood. For the sake of the
service postmasters are seeking young
er men for the harder routes, and
placing the older men on the easier
ones. The retirement bill for older
employees, also sought by the men,
seeks to retire old employees on half
pay and permit younger men to take
their places.
In Marshalltown. and probably the
SdILe rune Will Apply 10 OIHcl
cities, the only way in which post
office employees manage to get along at
all Is to engage in some other bust
ness as a side line. One man makes
a few hundred dollars a year out of
bees, another cultivates a large gar
den and sells vegetables, and SO on.
It is necessary that, after eight hours
are served in the governments en-
ploy, another four or five hours be put
in on the side line in order to make
both ends meet.
The government employees are max
ing no threats OF a strike or walkout.
Some have declared that, if they can
not get more money they will of nee
essity be compelled to enter other
lines of work. That Is their right, but
men trained in a line of work hesitate
to take up other lines without due de-
liberation. Hence the request for
a higher wage, a request that con
gress should consider favorably.

history.
He was born in Monmouth. and on
his fathers exile-he was the son Oh

ity earlier than even the royal princes
of those days. At IS the administra-

then, due to the kings Ill health. ne

NOT ASKING THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Some newspapers are inclined to
point out that public advisers who are
calling upon the people to save at
this time of high prices are asking the
impossible, declaring that people can
not save anything with prices as they
are now.
Psi iiiaps sunle people can not save.
Some never did before the war. Many
who had never saved before the war
did so during the war because they
felt It a duty to buy liberty bonds and
war savings stamps, and the first
thing they knew they had real money
laid away. To many of these the
habit Of saving will be lasting. Others,
now that the war Is over, have become
reckless with their savings Of the
past few years and INDUCED in luxur-
les never dreamed of before. To them
the high cost Of living hits hardest,
for they find that their money has
gone for luxuries when it should have
been used to meet the necessities of
life.
Most Of US are able to save some
thing If we go about it right We
| may not be able to lay aside as much
as we did before prices Of commodi-
ties got so high, but we can save
something II we will. There is scarce
ly any class which is not getting more
money in wages than it did two years
ago. Present day prices may eat up
most of the increase, but by proper
management they should not swallow
up everything.
The trouble with many people is
that their increased wage Of war
times has turned their heads. They
do not stop to think Of how much
things are going to cost under present
prices, but consider only that their
| incomes are double that which were
| received a few years ago. The result
Is that they buy luxuries. They buy
automobiles, pianos. monographs. or
other luxuries which they did very
we'll without few years ago. but
which they must have now that the
family purse swells to the bursting
point. The result 10 that the increass
in income is wiped out and the extrs
cost for living expenses perhaps must
be met with not more, and maybe less
money than was coming In before the
wage increase.
No one would deny any one thu
pleasure Of owning an automobile
plano, photograph, or any luxury tina
would add to his JOY OF living. pro-
viding the buyer can afford it. TIL

powers. and only desires few more OF
the same sort. Yet II was but the
other day that he seems to have
awakened to the necessity OF doing
something about IT," and began by
pulling out OF the nearest pigeon hole
that antique and out-worn automatic
first aid for perplexed politicians'-
"whack the packers; they have no
friends"
If the president had come TO con-
gress with statement OF the problem
and then demanded some new and
revolutionary powers to cope with II,
he might have pleaded that his hand
had been powerlCes hitherto To rescue
a robbed and bewildered people But
what is II that he wants. Only the
extension into the future of the life
OF the Lever act, which has been and
is now as alive as II possibly can be;
the extension of its scope TO other
commodities which will not add an
ounce TO its present powers TO deal
with food; an indefinite scheme to
license all corporations engaged In
interstate commerce; some details
touching the routine OF cold storage
a penalty for profiteers: blue-sky
law which has nothing TO do with eggs
or beefsteaks: and more money for
his statistical departments, OF whose
information he has been slow to
make Use.
The lack OF all these powers does
not afford him the smallest excuse
for falling to employ the much greater
powers he already possesses. Again
the country asks, as II reads his re-
sounding periods: what has detained
his?
Back to Adamson Bill.
The president won the applause OF
relieved congress when he declared
against Prussianism in our Industrial
life. The world has just destroyed
the arbitrary force Of a military
tunta," declared the president. ut will
live under no other" No one is bet
ter than the president at saying things.
But has he forgotten the Adamson
bill. and the share he took in proving
to the railway unions that, In the
strike threat, they held an invinclpIe
weapon? The very fact that congress
was genuinely relieved at the presi-
dents stand on this question reveals
what his course in the past had leo
even his friends TO fear.
Still. after all. the final test OF the
presidents policy and the final juds-
ment on his future will be found In
the domestic budget. The universal
housekeeper will have the first news
as to whether he has failed again or
made good" He says himself that
the evil is durable. He says himself
that he has IN his hands large part
of the Cure" II now remains to be
seen whether. before the month or
the year is out, the housekeepers Will
be searching the markets and the
shops, asking: What has detained
him?
