DOWN TO ZERO

In December, 1918 there were 100000 more
employees on the railroads than in December.
1917. Yet the amount of freight handled in De-
cember 1918, was considerably less than in the
corresponding month of 1917
We are doing less in day now, and manu-
featuring less, so there is not as much wealth as
formerly. We are all gradually getting poorer
In Kansas City there is concern whose lum-
ber mill turned out 10000 feet day five years
ago. Now it turns out As, 900 feet, although it
has the same number of employees as before
factory which employed 700 people and did
large business in manufacturing overals, has
found that contracts made on the basis of pre-
vious output are now incapable of fulfillment
Working hours in this factory have been so
much reduced that figuring the per capita loss of
time, there are 1890 fewer working hours each
week than short time ago.
A cement concern has reported that large
Increase in the number of its employees shows
only serious decrease in production as the out
come. There is also trouble in the garment trade
Suits have become hard to get, because suits have
not been made.
This is what has happened already But
cheer up; the worst is yet to come. There will
soon be falling off in the production of COAL
Ihe program now includes six hour working
day (more wages, of course,) and soon coal will
be considerably Scarcer than it is now And
the general movement to limit output continues in
all lines Of activity, with the result that the work
ing man, like every one else, pays twice as much
as he did for everything.
We may consent to face facts We are care
fully, Systematically and calculatedly preventing
the production of the necessities of life. Dollar
bills are, we know, plentiful. More so than ever.
Nearly everybody has them in abundance Con
pay day. and feels fine to drag them out Of our
pockets-to unrol the fat wad, and gloat over it.
The only drawback is that we can never eat it,
or wear it, and it isn't of much use in buying
rate we are going it may soes be cheaper to do
that than to burn coal; but it takes lot Of them

I have just come back from dinner, and I
ate an hour or so; and that dinner was winner
taking it is dinners go. First there was roast
of mutton and chewed away with zest, till there
wasn't left button on the north side of my vest
There were beets and sweet potatoes, and some
prune juice, extra dry, macaroni with tomatoes
and finished up with pie Now have the in
digestion, and my works fierce ructions raise, and
with me it is question whether eating truly pays.
If we just would cut out eating we could save a
lot of rocks, salt them dow nand keep repeating
in the safe deposit box. We would prosper like
the dickens, put all kinds Of wealth away, if
we'd cut out veal and chickens and be satisfied
with hay. But so few of us are able to accumul-
ate bone! On the ample dinner table all our
revenue is thrown. Then our innards get to
baking underneath the vituals' heft, and the
doctor comes docking, and he takes what coin
is left Oh, the druggists round me frolic, pour
'struns into me, for have spasmodic collie,
and am sight to see. So it scarcely is surpris-
ing that -tormented dub feels so much like
moralzing on the vanity of grub.

LET GEORGE DO IT."

A gentleman experienced in public matters
visited Nogaes recently, and in course of CONVEX
sation with "The Oasis" editor he related his ex-
perience in public matter of great Importance
to many people that need a remedial action by
Congress.
It was the enactment remunerating those
who had lost money in developing tungsten and
other rare metals needed in the arts for which
the war demand had rendered necessary large
supplies; and then the demand had decreased i'm
mediately upon signing the armistice, and what
expense had been incurred by many people had
become instantly dead loss.
The gentleman in this citation, with part
ner, had expended about $4,000 in development
Of a tungsten property and had just begun ship
ping ore when the armistice was signed. Imme-
diately sale for their product ceased. The gov
ernment had encouraged them with many others,
to engage in an enterprise that turned dead loss.
It was agreed among all, both losers and the
government that all who had lost should be re-
munerated. Mr. Edwards being one of the larg-
est losers was requested to act as chairman of
committee to raise funds and work for congress
sional appropriation, and he accepted. With
considerable work and correspondence he sue
ceeded in getting contributions to fund from
thirty-five interested parties He wrote to sew
cral hundred; but thirty-five. were all who would
respond
With the fund in hand he went to Washing
ton with bill prepared and went to work. At
first it was hard work and slow; but success re-
warded his efforts finally. However he had ex-
hausted the fund and spent $4,000 of his own
money. He could not get even one of the thirty
five contributors to contribute any part of the
$4,000 he had paid out over and above the fund.
Yet when all claims were filed under the act
there were no less than eleven hundred and fif-
" claimants. Eleven hundred and fifteen men will
have lost money returned without having raised
hand to help; and two dollars each would re-
turn to Mr.. Edwards the sum he was out in Sc
curing the legislation necessary to reimburse
them. But can he get anything from any of
them? No. 1t was case of 'let George do it. /"
And George done it.

to make fire that will last. We can stitch
bunch of bills together into patchwork quilt,
and sleep under them; it may soon be cheaper
than buying blankets, but not quite so warm.
But we will all have one consoling chance of
reprisal. The coal miner can have the fun of
compelling the tailor's cutter to freeze; and the
cutter can get even by keeping the coal miner in
state of perpetual nakedness
Yes, a little sarcastic perhaps; but we are hit
ting the nail so squarely on the head there is no
room for doubt as to what is in store for this
country, unless we return to sanity.

GLACIAL GEYSERS
SPOUT FROM ELIOT

Guests at Cloud Cap Inn were privi-

phenomena of glacial geyers. As re-
suit of the early week warm days.
which sent great volumes of water
pouring down from the snowbanks on
the peak and ate away the surface of
the great ice fields. the force of com
pressed air blew great holes in Eliot
Glacier and sent the pent up floods
spouting skyward hundreds of feet in
to the air. The water and air forced
their way through the ice barrier with
an explosion. that sounded like cannon
aiding.
Among the guests at the mile high
hostely who witnessed the grand spec
tacle were Rev. and Mrs. W. A. Sun

ON hikes in the vicinity of the Inn.

buildings. Mr.. Stokes and Mr.. Allen,
while investigating large ball room

TWO VIEWS OF RAILRoADING

TT is interesting to contrast the theories
= of railroading expounded almost stimuli
taneously by Director Hines and Presi-
dent Carranza, of Mexico. Mr.. Carranza,
a man who has a habit of catching up
with the truth when he is too late to
make any decent use of it, has plan to
reorganize and unity the entire railway
system of Mexico in order to develop
great uncultivated areas, benefit the peo-
pie, enrich the country and create a
sounder and more enlightened system of
national thinking" =
Mr.. Hines, too, wishes the American
roads reorganized and he has not failed
to recognize the educational and eco
nomic problem represented by UNDER
developed transportation systems. A
half-starved, down~at-the-heel railroad
system is burden upon any community.
No part of the country can be more sue
cessful than its rail lines. The ex-
perience of government control has made
1T plain that many of the smaller systems
that now live life of poverty and hinder
the growth of their communities could
be made prospectus through consolida-
tion with larger systems, which would
also be benefited in the process of CEN
tralization.
Many of the old-fashioned objections to
railway consolidation were perfectly
valid and are valid today. So Mr.. Hines
would have the rail lines formed into
great competing companies operating
under rigorous government regulation.
This plan suggests makeshift and COM
promise, but it is perhaps the best that
is now IN sight. What American railway
men are trying for is the efficiency of the
monopolies with the benefits of the COM
petitive system. If Congress would
spare little time from its sniping to
think constructively of the railways it
would do better for the country than it is
doing now. And it would>fnd that it was
up against mans size job
