When new pest to any crop is
brought to the attention of the eco
economic entomologist and a remedy
is asked. he must first know just
what this insect is. He must know
the group to which it belongs. the
habits of this group. the exact CLASH
fication Of this individual species. 1t
may be that it will prove to be a per-
fectly new species. in which case it
must be accurately described and
properly placed. so that other work
ers will know about it and about its
relationships and its possibilities for
harm.

A pREposTERoUs PROPOSAL

Are the railway workers OF the country worse
off than any other class of workers. Does the
cost of living distress them more than 1t DIS
tresses the three hundred thousand postofhce
employes-etter carriers, town and rural, ana
the railway mail service men? Are they hit
harder by high prices than the great mass OF
factory workers, clerks and people OF moderate
means! Are they justified in threatening to
paralyze the nation unless the government buys
the railroads and turns them over to them7
The United States Chamber of Commerce re-
Gently took referendum of one thousand, two
hundred trade and commercial organizations
representing six hundred and seventy thousand,
one hundred businessmen and found that
ninety-nine per cent. of them oppose govern
naent ownership of the roads. Under the plan
proposed by the railroad brotherhoods the ma
ton would be forced to pay interest on at least
twenty billion dollars in addition to the present
debt, and in all human probability would have
to face an annual deficit growing out OF oper-
alton as in the last two years. Could the gov
eminent raise the vast sum needed for this pur-
pose by the sale of bonds? Would it be wise
to put two million more employees on the public
payroll? Might not such body come to exer-
else a malign controlling influence in state and
national affairs?
The roads were self supporting under private
ownership and gave the public vastly better
service and lower rates than have been furnish
ed under government control. Is there any citl-
zen who is not a railroad worker who is enthus-
iastic over the idea Of paying taxes on twenty
billion dollars in order to give the railroad
workers a right to fix their own wages, run the
roads at government expense and share such
net earnings as might accrue? Would this be
fair to the rest Of the workers of the land7
q 4. L
hoods plan, devised by Glenn e. Plumb, the
organizations legal counsel, are as follows: %
The government is to acquire all existing rail
road properties, paying therefor by the issuance
Of bonds to be sold to the public. (2) These
properties so acquired are to be operated by a
private corporation which will have no financial
investment in the industry, its sole capital be
ing operating skill. It's nominal capital stock
is to be trusted for the benefit of the employees

OPPOSES RAIL TRlPARTITE.

Davenport Democrat: WED better
keep our hands off the railroads." is
Dwight N. Lewis summary of his
views on the railroad brotherhoods'
proposal to establish tripartite COM
posed of the public, the operating
management and the employees.
Mr.. Lewis, who is chairman Of the
state board of railroad commission
eas, expressed himself thusly in the
Des Moines Register. By reason Of
his official position, his views on this
big question will be found interesting
whether or not they are endorsed by
the reader.
II have always believed he said,
chat the men who do the work in
any enterprise, be it factory or rail
way, should be represented on the
board of directors. But l am against
government ownership of railroads or
anything else"
Mr.. Lewis believes that under the
plan as outlined, efficiency Of the
roads is bound to fail largely be.
cause the incentive for the individual
to excel is removed.
1.-The government can't operate the
roads efficiently he asserted, "and
of government control to know this
is true. Service has fallen off until
there is practically nothing left and
common courtesy is rarity in a
railway employee.
Understand, I want no quarrel
with the brotherhoods. | have been
their friend on more than one occa-
sion. But / think the railroad en-
ploye is the victim of a poor system,
and now he wants to make it perma-
nent."
Mr. Lewis says it will be difficult,
if not impossible, to find men to
place in charge of the roads. Mr.
McAdoo's administration of their
affairs he heartily condemned as in
efficient and unbusinesslike.
He stated that here in Iowa the
government operation of roads has
made itself felt very acutely, and
that the state commission is kept
constantly busy seeing that the roads
maintain their equipment and right
Of way in a safe condition, and rem
der reasonable service

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE

AUGUST.
Shorn of their wealth, the harvest neids
Lie silent in the sun,
Weary beneath the languorous haze.
Their generous labor done.
The dreamy river trails its length
Across the breadth Of gold;
Sowcreepng, till it find its way
BY cedars grim and old.
Gone are the lilies, but the leaves
Float sullen on the stream;
Above the shimmering underflow
Where water-grasses CLEAN.
The flashing pckerel snaps the fly
Which careless skins the wave;
And circles widening 20 the shore
The rooty margins lave.
The turtle warming the log
Prolongs his length of days.
Unheedful of the empty nest
The putting cattail sways.
Now slow before the lowering sun
lucid vapor spreads,
Drifting in hazy GOODNESS DER
The mallow's rosy heads.
Nature holds close and tenderly
Her drowsy children dear;
This is her hour of full content
Her 'rest-time" of the year!

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Knoxville Journal: The demand for
the elimination of private capital
from the control of the railroads and
turn them over to the labor organiza-
lions is merely the opening gun.
The issue is the naturalization of all
iindustry-in other words, communis-
tic or socialistic government and in
dustrial organization. Private prop
erty is to be destroyed in America as
lit has been in Russia, if the present
demands of labor shall be acceded to.
MarshalItown Times Republican:
Its going to be hard to cut prices of
food and necessities and Keep on
boosting wages. Climbing creased
pole is easier than coming down.
Sac City Sun: Even the highest
paid workers Of the country appear
to be dissatisfied with present wages
on account of living costs. There
comes strike, wages go up; living
costs creep still higher; more wages
are demanded, and the endless chain
continues. Where will it stop?
Mason City Globe-Gazette: About
now the man with salary begins
to wish he were working for wages.
Perry Chief: Remember when all
the people Of Iowa had to worry
about was the capitol extension pro-
ject?
Webster City Freeman-Journal:
We hope the poor, downtrodden coal
miner who wants to work only six
hours a day and only FIVE days in a
week for the meager pay of from $50
to SIS will not die Of enlargement
of the heart.
Rolfe Arrow: The working man is
certainly up against It, Time was
when some article of diet was cheap,
something he could use as filler. 1t
was meat, potatoes or flour. With
one of these articles of diet cheap he
could get along, but now everything
lis high. 1t matters little what he
eats, for it takes all he can get to
satisfy hunger. Nothing TO eat is
cheap. 1t will take wrse adjusting
to put things on a proper basis.

These employees are to be divided into two class
les, the first composed Of employees exercising ex-
Iecutive and managerial powers, the second com,
posed of wage earning employees. The board OF
directors controlling the corporation is to have
one third of its members appointed by the pres-
dent, one third elected by the executive en-
ployes, and one-third elected by the wage-earn-
ing employees. (3) The government is to lease
the railroad properties to this corporation,
which will pay operating expenses, including
maintenance and renewal charges and sinking
fund charges Net earnings are to be divided
equally between the government and the cor
lporation Profits thus accruing to the employees
/ are to be distributed as dividends on the pay
roll, the wage-earning employees receiving
amounts proportional to their wages ana The
Executive employees receiving graduated IN
creased rate of dividend, depending upon the
amount of profits which their management has
earned for employees of the wage earning class.
l(4l Whenever the net profits received by the
government exceed five per cent. OF the gross
operating revenue, the interstate commerce
commission is to reduce the level OF rates sui
Ificiently to absorb the excess OF profits. (o)
Whenever earnings of the corporation do not
equal expenditure for wages, maintenance, ana
fixed charges-in other words, when there Is a
Ideficit-the deficit will be made up by pubic
taxation.
The Canadian Pacific railroad stands as the
most convincing argument for private owner
ship of great transportation ines-a sharp con-
trast to the state of our own roads. 1t has been
subjected to the severest tests OF the war;
heavier even, in many ways than those borne by
our own lines And it has emerged triumphant,
stronger than ever and greater, too, In popu-
larity.
It gave good service to the government, at
reasonable costs Beyond that, it afforded very
substantial financial aid; forty million dollars
of its stock was loaned to the government ana
IL bought, of the second Canadian loan, twelve
million, four hundred and seventy seven thou
sand dollars worth of bonds. The British gov
eminent has not yet paid for its service In FULL
nevertheless the road is prosperous and imam
cially sound.
Nor has it done this by any inordinate raise
in prices to the public. The shipper and pas
senger are pleased, as they are getting good
service. On the other hand, its employees are
well paid and have their full share IN it's pros
perity. Threatened labor troubles were settled
in advance and it has had no strikes such as
ours.
All this has been done by wise, intelligent,
honest individual management. Does any sane !
human being imagine it could be duphcted
under such scheme as is proposed IN the Plumb
plan? Surely we are no less intelligent and cap
able than our Canadian cousins
