Lulu, Alice and Jimmie Wibblewob-

were glad they did. For Nurse Jane

Newark, New Jersey, start
ed the skids under the high
cost of living yesterday by
placing on the market 100000
worth of food purchased from
the government stocks. San
Francisco likewise offered food
from the same source. As evil
dence how food can be sold
and what it usually sells for,
the example of bacon is cited.
At Newark bacon sold for So
cents and at San Francisco for
81 cents, whereas in the stores
the same article commands
from so to 5S cents. The start
looks promising and much re-.
lief will be forthcoming if the
stocks do not, as some fear, fall
back into the hands of the food

the proffered interest in the
business extended them.
Stock is sold to the employees
at par, although on the market
it commands a premium. The
shares are sold for 500 each,
paid for at the rate of 81 a
share per week. No employe
may purchase more than five
shares and the number each
may purchase is determined by
his weekly salary.
The system is one of the most
successful methods so far seen

IN this country for fostering a
common ground on which en-
ployer and employe may stand.
The investors in stock naturally
feel that they have an interest
IN the business, that the more
they produce. the more their
stock will be worth to them.
1 The possession of security
gives them a sense of RESPONSE
bility and instils in them a de-
sire to- increase their holdings.
The payment of these shares
out of the weekly pay envelope
also holds together the organi-
cation. No man or woman
cares to strike, when such ac-
ton would result in forfeiture
of an interest in a paying pro-
position. Loyalty is built up
because the employer feels that
he is in a measure being loyal
TO himself and his fellow work
ers.
Both sides undoubtedly reap
a huge advantage from an ar
rangement such as the Swift
Company has made. 1t is al
most notoriously known that
concerns adopting such profit
sharing methods are spared la
Dor troubles. More such COM
.binations of employer and en-
ploye are due to result as al
logical consequence of the sue
cess of this instance.

cording to a recent estimate.
Much of the farming land sur
rounding the city is held by
them and their holdings are
rapidly spreading in all direc-
tons. Virtually as many Japa-
nese as Americans have pur-
chased apple and other or
chard lands in the Hood River
district this year.
While not every japanese
who buys property settles upon
the land, their possession,
nevertheless, is becoming felt.
The little brown men are ac-
quiring the best there is and
their rapid accumulation of
money makes it possible for
them to invest much more
quickly than can the average
American. AT the present rate
of acquisition of property, a
few years will see half of the
cultivated land in the north
west in their hands.
California, first to see the
influx of this horde from scross
the Pacific, took steps to pro-
test its population. The legis-
lation was the basis of con-
siderable correspondence be-
tween the two nations. The
immigration problem will like
wise begin to show on Oregon
and Washington soon, especial
ly with our own people pushing
west and meeting an alien race
pushing back from the Pacific
ports. Other nations have pro-
tected their own populace by
on land holdings.
1t may appear the eXpedient
thing for America to do like
wise.
