Washington, May a. Arguments
were heard m the supreme court IN
proceedings involving the right Of the
federal government 70 interefera with
intrastate freight and passenger rates
and telegraph and telephone tolls IN
der the joint congressional resolutions
and presidential proclamatIons au-
thOrizing federal control Of the rail-
roads and wire system Of the country.
The case resulted from recent orders
Of Director General Hines and Post
master General Burleson increasing
rates. While the cases heard today
came from five states-North Dakota,
South Dakota. Kansas, Illinois and
Massachusetts, = proceedings attack
ing the governments authority to
supercede state rate-making commits
sions had been instituted In about
twenty-five states with the result that
in some the governments contention
was upheld, while in others decisions
favorable to state authorities were
rendered.
Owing to the Importance Of the
question court officials said final de-
termination Of the suits might be
made before the supreme court ad-
journs next month.
Hearing on the railroad case was
finished today, but arguments In the
wire rate cases will not be concluded

LABOR ADJUSTMENT

The biggest internal problem in the
United States today is the harmonic
ing of capital and labor. The nation
can not go on prosperously while large
sections of the population are embit-
tered and hostile. 1t is said that in
some shops the employers can't walk
through the workrooms without being
hooted at by their employees. Without
attempting to say who is to blame,
what earthly chance is there Of eff
cient production or communityr.pro-
gress where the industrial forceg are
divided by such a spirit?
There is always a tendency 10 ex-
aggerate labor troubles. If there are
fifty shops where employer and en-
ploye get along harmoniously, and one
where there is conflict, the one in
stance of friction excites more public
ity and attention than the so peaceful
places. Still, the 80 peaceful places
need to see to it that industrial con-
ditions are on a sound basis. Social
troubles have way of spreading.
Where there. are long standing quar-
rels between different elements, there
is frequently fault on both sides. The
best way to discover where the blame
lies is for both parties to get together
and talk it out with as little outside
interference as possible.
In England genuine progress is be-
ing made toward solving their very
serious labor troubles, by shop coun-
ellis. Committees of the owners and
workers meet for regular discussion
of all interests of both parties. This
idea is being tried out by constantly
increasing number Of concerns in this
country. Good results are reported.
Most quarrels occur because people
have not known or taken into account
the other party's point of view. The
more one party hears the other side
presented, the more it realizes that it
may have force in many respects, and
the closer the two points of view get
together.

MATHEMATICS
vs. HOME PAPER
The Business Man and the
Newspaper-The Problem of
Economy Works an I'm
just Injury

Mathematics is mathematics, but
mathematics sometimes becomes hard
to mathematize for the newspaper
man.
'Some how or other q custom has
grown with some business men, dur
ing a temporary period Of depression
that they must begin a campaign Of
retrepchment by cutting down ex-
penses. The principle Of course Is
sound, but it sometimes hurts in the
wrong direction, which probably was
not intended by the business man.
1t has been our experience during
these dull periods that the first per-
son to feel the weight Of the retrench-
ment by the business man is the ed
itor of the town paper. We do not
know why the editor is selected, for
he has to maintain his force and keep
up q heavy expense just the same as
when times are better, but the busi-
ness mans adv. slides out Of the pa
per and he perhaps never gives it a
second thought that he is seriously
crippling the very thing that is stand
ing up and battling to start things off
in his own interest-the newspaper.
The most successful man in the
United States, and one who has made
his millions in advertising, is John
Wannamaker. He tells the public
that when business becomes stagnant,
he increases his advertising instead of
cutting it down. 1t is not hard to see
why Wannamaker adopted this meth
cd. He figured that when trade was
quiet he could pull the bulk of the
trade to. him through advertising,
while if he cut his advertising out, the
buying that naturally would take
place was scattered to all parts.
The Daily Citizen has a right to a
greater volume Of advertising than it
is receiving through the business men.
1t is lifting every pound it can in the
interests of Baxter Springs-using its
money and its talent freely to help
the business man on to better trade
footing, and we naturally think that
your business cooperation with this
paper should be along more lenial
lines.
We understand full well the re-
trenchment idea, but it looks so pecul-
lar that the first man to receive a fell
blow by the business men is the editor
of the home paper: ?

HARVEST HANDS
One Hundred Sixty Cherokee
Farmers Attend Meeting at
COlumbus-Against Day
light Saving Law

At meeting Of the Cherokee COun-
ty Farm Bureau in the Court House
at Columbus Saturday afternoon the
wage to be paid harvest hands was
set at 40 cents per hour. About one
hundred and sixty farmers were at
the meeting and a great deal Of dis
cussion was brought out before the
forty cent wage was finally adopted.
A good many were for smaller wage
Of either thirty or thirty-hve cents,
while a few were for fifty cents per
hour. The price for a man and team
was not set, as there is but little Of
this kind Of labor hired from the out
side, most farmers trading team work
with their neighbors.
There is but little doubt but that
labor will be more plentiful this year
than last; but the price Of everything
including wheat is still high and the
prevailing sentiment was that the har-
vest wage should be the same as last
year. This wage will also serve to at
tract a better class of industrial labor
than If a lower price was set, as a
comparison Of the wages in the mines
and on the steel gangs with harvest
work at forty cents per hour and
board is much in favor of the latter.
The following resolution was unani-
mOusly adopted asking for the repeal
Of the Daylight Saving Law: "Where-
as the congress of the U. S. may soon
be convened, and whereas there is at
present in force q law known at the
Daylight Saving Law; Be It resolved
that 1t is the sense of the Cherokee
County Farm Bureau that this law Is
oppressive, and that we respectfully
petition our Senators and Represents
tives in Congress to use their best ef-
forts to have this law repealed. And
that o copy of these resolutions be
transmitted to them"

HIGHWAY MUST APPROVE
BRIDGES COSTING $1,000

The commissioners of one county,
says the Topeka Capital, thought they
could get around the law which pro-
vides that the state engineer must ap-
prove plans for all bridges to cost
over $4,000 and that the county COM
misioners must call for bids for such
bridges. The commissioners in the
certain" county made separate con-
tracts for different parts of the bridge
steel, ETC., and started to go
ahead with the work. The state high
way commission sent word to the
county commissioners that they must
proceed according to law or that ac-
tion would be taken against them to
oust them from office.

TOOK THE HIDE OFF
A SCATHING REBUKE
FORGETTING TO PAY
FOR SOFT DRINK NOW
MAY BE JAIL FOR YOU

Say, II you 20 To n soda fount, order
a drink and forget to pay for 1t, do
you know what's liable to happen?
Uncle Sam may get you He's on the
Job 10 see that none Of this soft drink
tax escapes him, and he may have his
eye on you all the time.
Failure to pay for soft drink is a
violation Of the federal law, and is
punishable by fine or Imprisonment or
both. The new law became effective
Thursday, and II you get into conver-
sation with friend and walk out with
the check In your hand II may be-
zip, zing, zooeyl You're it.
Honest, of course you are; you had
no intention of beating the man out
of your cooling, refreshing drink. Who
said you did? But you see, Uncle Sam
doesn't know you as well, probably as
the soda jerker and the cashier. He
does not understand that you would
have paid for it the next time you
came In.
The point is that you failed to pay
for your drink when you got it;
Uncle Samuel is. much interested in
that drink, because he has a kitty at
that soda fount and you failed to feed
the every hungry feline. Under GER
tain conditions-where you have.
charge account, the owner of the soda
fount is responsible to Uncle. If you
should die suddenly or leave town
without paying your drink bill, Uncle
Sam would hold the owner responsible
for the war tax.
The new law is something of a
strain on the cashiers, too. They dare
not make mistake, even of one pen
ny in their accounts or in giving
change. It might mean q term at
Leavenworth for them. They don't
know, consequently they are playing
the game safe.
One of them, after trying to figure
out just where she stood in the war
revenue game; after cudgling her
brain for some minutes trying to
make the right change, looked up with
smile on her face, said:
"D-n the kaiser" and every ono
within a radius of several feet smiled
with her. It was the first time this
old, familiar war cry had been heard
for some time.
