Labor's America, Program,

The American Federation OF Labor
has presented to the senate committee
on labor a platform for reconstruction
which is an argument rather than an
appeal, and which is expressed with
such restraint that dissent on any OF
the many contentious points raised
should be equally moderate. Labor It.
self cannot expect that there should
be no dissent. or eighteen points first
place is given to insistence that wages
should not be reduced, in many cases
should be raised, and conditions of en-
ployment bettered. The American
standard OF life must be maintained
and improved" Who ever proposed
that II should be reduced? Capital GER
tainly wants labor TO be strong and cf-
ficient, and would prefer TO pay high
wages High wages mean high prices,
and a high standard OF life for capital
as we'll as for labor. Labor may re-
gard the point which II most stresses
and emphasizes as unanimously APP
proved subject only to economic con-
siderations which apply to labor and
capital alike. regardless of either stat
utes or labor edicts.

and can he no shorter. Capital and
labor alike want and need TO keep
shops open for selfish as well as hu-
name considerations. When shops shut

shops must shut II shortening hours

stops the sale OF the product. Labor
seos the point hut still has the idea
that wages, can be forced from capital.
There il not wealth enough in the
world To keep that plan going long.
Just as truly and surely ne farmers
depend upon yearly crops labor must
depend unon the operation of the fac
tories The National Industrial Con-
ference Board has lust reported that
the adoption Of p fifty four hour week
reduced production in every factory
esuloving over $50 hands. and In
creased production with moderate and
various results only in the case OF
small and relatively inefficient fac
tories. Iahor's proposal on this point
is accep'nhle in principle. hut labor

GUS and crops good. But the proposal
for the progressive increase OF taxes
on incomes and land should be kept
from conflict with the following pro-
posal that taxation should rest lightly
on constructive enterprise. There 10
need for that. In this state S75.O00.-
600 taxes annually have been placed
on active capital. with tendency
toward making capital shrink from

discourage farm work. Land cannot

Use ccNv CTS ON THE ROADS.

The legislature OF this state is con-
fronted with requests for s225'ooo with
which to purchase additional farm
land at the state petnitentiaries and
the land is badly needed unless the leg
tslature will adopt the suggestion tha'
co1yicts should be used in state graEeI

cars material needed for surtacins
roads.
The chart prepared by the stale
highway commission and state geo
logical survey shows that there are
thirtv-three counties in Iowa without
enough local gravel or stone TO sur
face their roads II also shows twenty
two counties which have an abundance
Of good road metal. enough for all the
other counties if shipped to them by
rail
In order TO aid the thirty-three
counties which have no material the
state should use its convicts 10 load
the road material and prepare It FOR
road use. The convlcts could thus be
used at public work and their help
would serve as state aid in road build
ing 10 the counties most in need.
Present laws contemplate the use OF
convicts in the actual building Of roads
but the procedure for obtaining their
services is so complicated that few
boards Of supervisors will even attempt
10 use them. The state has its con-
vfcts in charge and must find produc-
tive labor for them or they will be-
come !eeches upon society, free board
ers at the expense Of honest men. They
must be employed at farm work unless
put to work preparing material for
roads.

a hard job to find what he likes to eat
Contrary to the general belief, he will
not eat anything, but he selects care
fully the best Of roots, herbs, fruits
and various vegetables. When in cap
tivity, he eats about the same kind of
FODDER, with few exceptions, includ-
ing pastry, bread, nuts Chiefly pea
nuts) and some other goodies which
may be offered to him. Elephants eat
no kind of meat whatsoever; they will
only eat pure grown food or clean
bread or pastry.
