WAGE, EXPRESSED IN
NECESSITIES, KEEPS
PACE WITH NEEDS
Rochester Post-Express1

According to history, the Roman
emperor Diocletian, 1000 years ago.
fixed the price Of eggs at cents a
dozen, and the wages of unskilled
labor at 10 cents a day. The prices
of other articles of food were proper
tional to these, and a Roman laboring
man could thus, if he wished to, buy
three dozen eggs a day. Along in the
seventies here in America the wage
of unskilled labor had climbed to
dollar a day, and eggs in the season
Of their plenty sold for II cents a
dozen. The laboring man had scored
again, for he could then take eight
dozen eggs with him at sunset if he
SO desired.
During the last few years 1t has
been a neck-and-neck, nip-andtuck
race between eggs and wages and
their relative position has not greatly
changed. With eggs, state fresh"
and western fresh" at, say so cents
a dozen, and wages at about $4 the
toiler can still accumulate eight dozen
eggs day. whereas if it is only $3.50
or thereabout the agile egg is beating
him in the race. Skilled labor. how
ever, has left the hopelessly distanced
egg at the quarter pole. and even the
half skilled labor has left it far behind.
Want More Eggs.
The Window Cleaners Union of
New York city recently formulated it's
demand for $36 a week, which is
equivalent to twelve dozen eggs a
day. and the modest ultimatum of
drivers of retail milk wagons recently
was for $50 a week, per cent. COM
mission on sales, a siX-hour day, with
time and half for overtime, and dou-
Bile pay for overtime on Sundays.
This would probably figure to some
thing like $50 for the seven days,
equal to sixteen dozen eggs, which
would keep 1872 egg-a-day hens, if
there is such productive bird, at
work throughout the year.
1t thus appears that since Diocle-
tlan's day wages, measured in the
necessities Of life, have increased
about fivefold, and the world is clearly
moving toward a state of affairs when
the manual workers will have all the
eggs and none will be left for the non
producer-doctOr, lawyer, merchant,
priest, and other physical drones of
the human family who work with
nothing but their brains.

FOR POSTMASTER
Post Must Be Given to Best Candi.
date, According TO Order of
the President.

Politics will be barred altogether
from consideration in the forthcoming
examination for postmaster at .Ione,
according to an announcement Just
received from the New York offices
of the National Civil Service Reform
League. According to the order OF
President Wilson taking first, second
and third class postmasters out of
politics, the appointment must be
given to the applicant receiving the
highest rating in the competitive ex-
animation.
In many localities where examina-
tions have already been held, the
Leagues statement says, there has
been an attempt by politicians to cre-
ate the impression that the examina-
tion was only screen for political
manipulation. So successful has this
propaganda been in certain cases that
many qualified persons who would
otherwise have applied have refrain
ed from doing so, believing that with
out political pull" it would be use
less.
The League urges that no atten-
tion be paid to such reports, but that
all citizens residing within the de-
livery of the vacant Office, both men
and women, apply for the position il
they believe they are qualified to fill
lit. In this way the community will
be assured of securing the best per
son available as postmaster.
The order of President Wilson, is
sued March 81, 1917, provides that
whenever a vacancy occurs there
must be competitive examination tc
fill it, and that the candidate ranking
highest must be appointed unless dis
qualified on account of character OF
residence. The National Civil Ser.

The Government has withdrawn its
promotion Of the sale of these baby

ale headquarters, maintained for
nearly two years, has been closed
County organizations throughout the
state have also been notified that
there will be no further need OF their
effort, inasmuch as the buying OF
stamps is to be left in future to per-
sonal initiative and volunteer effort.
Robert E. Smith, director OF sales
for the general war loan organization
of the Twelfth Reserve district, an
nounces that the cost OF promoting
sales of Thrift Stamps and War Saw
ngs Stamps has been out of proper
tion to the results obtained, though
it is his hope that the educational
campaign for thrift, which has been
an important feature of the wal
stamp work, will be carried on in the
schools, and through war savings So
cieties.
Oregon, during the war, not only
led the nation in attaining its quotas
Of war stamp sales, but did so at less
expenditure than any other state, thi:
being accomplished largely through
the efforts of c. S. Jackson, state
director, and the work of other vol
unteer members of the organization
throughout the state.
The Treasury Department ex
presses its appreciation of the work
Of all such volunteers, and is es
pecially grateful to the newspapers ol

thering the cause.
