Hard Facts

The federal trade commission
charges that the big packers ab-
solutely control the livestock
market. 1t seems little remark
able, if this is true, that the prices
of livestock continue to advance.
Usually, a business man who can
name his own buying price makes
it lower instead Of higher. The
trade commissions statement
looks absurd on thea1face of it.
The packers cannot compel the
production of livestock: neither
can they force the producer to
sell until he is ready to do so.
The livestock shipper knows in
advance within a few cents of
what he will get for his animals
before he starts them to market.
If the packers control the market,
why don't they hammer down the
price? Hogs at S23 and cattle at
SIS so should be fairly remunera-
tive to the producers. How much
do they want?-Topeka State

case the wattage can be found by
multiplying the amperage by the
voltage. If an electric iron used

amperes, that will be the same as

Figure Your Light Bill

When you pay your electric
light bill, do you wonder what
you are paying for? The bill says
you used SO many "kilowatt-h hours, !,
for each of which you are charged
a certain sum. But what are they,
and when did you use them?
A kilowatt is the unit scientists
use for power. 1t is a thousand
watts. and it takes 746 watts to
equal one horsepower, SO one Kill
owatt is the same as about one
and one-thire horse power. A
kilowatt-hour, then, is one and
one-third horse-p power working
for one hour. Electric current
could be sold by the horse-powe
hour just as easily, but the kio-
watt-hour seems to be the choice
of electricians.
1t is easy to figure out how much
it costs to burn any electric light
for a certain length of time. Each
electric light bulb is marked.
showing how many watts it con-
sumes. If a lamp is marked, say,
40 watts, it will use one twenty
fifth of kilowatt. In other words.
twenty five of these lamps will
burn for and hour to consume one
kilowatt- hour, or one will burn
twenty-five hours to use the same
amount of current lie the price
of the current is ten cents kilo-
watt-hour, a 40-watt lamp will
burn twenty-five hours for ten
cents, or at the rate of two ffths
of cent an hour.
The cost TO burn any electric
light can be determined by divid-
ing the wattage of the lamp by
1000 and multiplying the quotient
by the price of current per kilo.
watt.
Much of the electricity used in
the household goes for heating

The Dumb Plan OF
Control

The so-called Plumb plan or
what might more appropriately
be called the dumb plan for
railroad control is as brazen in
point of selfshness as it is stupid
in point of accumen.
In one breath we are told that
the railroads should be run for ser
vice and not for profit, and in the
very next breath that the profits
should be divided among the en-
ployes, the operators and the
public.
In other words. the brother
hoods demand that the public put
up s20,O00,OO0,O00 and buy the
railroads and in turn the brother
hood will put up one-third OF the
directors, and condescendingly take
one-third of the profits in addition
to their wages-a one sided bar
gain to say the least.
What would happen to the pub
lie, the railroads, the revenue, the
rates and the service after that, IS
not vouchsafed, but it is easy to
guess.
1t would bejust as reasonable
for the packing house employees,
for the miners, for employees In
the factories and workshops and
on the farms of this country, to
dsmand that the public put up the
money, buy the packing houses,
factories, farms and like industries
of the United States and socialize
or bolshevize them. as for rail-
road men to ask that this be done
for them.
The public already owns the
postoffice and postal service and
why not the postmasters, postal
clerks, mail carriers and other
attaches or employers of the pos
tai department band themselves
together and demand that they be
allowed to name one-third of the
directors of that department, and
grab one third of the profits in
addition to their wagesl What is
the difference between this and
the dumb plan?
The public is not going to be
caught in such trap. Ii the
time shall come when the people
desire to exercise ownerthip and
control of the railroads, they will
enter upon that plan with intent
of full control, and there will be
no more partnership than there
is about ownership and operation
of the postal system. Until such
time, the people will continue the
exercise of their sovereign right to
regulate and control railroad ser
vice for the public good.
The distinguishing aspects of
the dumb plan are selfshness.
stupidity and impudence.
