COURAGE AND CURRENCY

The dollar has gone down in pur-
chasing power That is bromide,
platitude, "old stuff" Everybody
knows it from actual experience. But
should that fact take all the wind out
of everybody's sails? Is it going to
deprive us of the courage and initia-
tive which have made the country fa-
nous?
Here we are a million homes short
Of what we neeg, and short million
men to build them" says Abraham l.
Elkus, chairman of the reconstruc-
tiOn commission of the stae of New
York. There are two things to do:
Take the bull by the horns and build
your own home in spite of hig prices
and have something to show for ii
your whole life long and during the
lives Of your children and your Gull
dren's children-or hesitate for th6
next 10 years, spend the same money
on rent and have nothing to show Tor
it when you are through. The rent
you are aging now would build your
home. And we are hoping that so IN
the government will help you do it.
The Canadian government is al
ready helping it's people to finance the
construction of modest homes.
The building of ones own home,
however small and inexpensive, gives
a joy of creation comparable to moth
ing else. Moreover, it puts one on a
solid basis with the world. 1t means
added respect from ones fellowmen.
1t means better credit, better chance
for growth in business.
Of course it takes courage to build
in the face of existing conditions,
but the rewards of courage were
never smal.-Arizona Gazette.

Democratic National Committee

Washington, D. C.-Increased ad-
vantages under the War Risk Insur-
ance have just been made available to
the soldiers through decision of Sec
retary of the Treasury Carter Glass.
Chief among these is the blanket pro-
vision en-. ling men who have been
out of sertiCe for more than eighteen
months, the neriod set by the govern
ment for laps4nC insurance, to take up
their insurance again before the last
day of the present calendar year
There is also a decision that valves

to take up their insurance again with

sworn statement from the soldiers or
ex-service man that he is in practical
ly the same state of health as when
he last paid his insurance premium.
In addition to these advantages the
recommendations of the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance, contained in
what is known as the Sweet Bill. are
now up before the Senate for consid-
Grafton. Should they pass, as is ex
pected, and become a law the govern
ment will be enabled to be of vastly
greater service by way of monetary
compensation to the men injured N.
disabled in the war. This is the bill
that will make possible the raising of
the total disability pay to wounded
men so that they will get $50 a month
instead of $50 as the law at present

THE MODERN WOMAN'S CAREER.

While the young woman of today
looks forward to wifehOod and mother
hood as she naturally should, she
never again will be satisfied to wait
around in her home until the lover
and husband gets ready to come to
her. She demands preliminary per-
iod of independence, when she can
earn her own living. She. desires to
pick and choose the kind of husband
she wants, and if necessary, to be able
comfortably to get along without one.
This change of attitude has render
ed great enocomic service. 1t has sup
piled a new force of workers. has add
ed to the worlds production, and has
brought added comfort to many homes.
Instead of being dependent on their
fathers, most young women today are
self-supporting, and the majority con-
tribute something to home support.
This preliminary period of indie
pendence, however, is not usually built
Oh SOuuu 4SCOuOIulC IOuuudIlOu
Most of the young girls seek merely a
quick and easy preparation for bust
ness. They take very brief CONNER
cial courses, that fit them SO that in a
stumbling way they can take steno-
graphic dictation, do elementary book
keeping, and turn out a letter that is
commonly misspelled and ungram-
matical. They have had little general
education and can not undertake work
calling for any initiative or Judgment.
The business world complains bit
terly at their lack of general intclli-
gence and commercial training But
it takes them, as the best that can be
had The majority of them retain
their positions but a few years, when
they marry A new set of incompet-
ents, or half competents, take their
places.
These girls feel it would not pay
them to prepare more thoroughly for
business. If nine-tenths of them are
to marry in ten, years, they say, why
spend several years out of that brief
period in preparation for a merely
temporary career-Journal.

COOPERATIVE BUYING

The railroad brotherhoods, appar-
emily not much impressed by the pro-
gress made by public agencies in re-
ducing the cost of living, have decided
to tackle the problem themselves.
they are concentrating or the weak
spot in the American system-distri-
button of commodities. Much has been
said in recent years about eliminating
the middleman, particularly in the
handling of food. Now the brother
hoods are really going to try to do it.
Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and one of the ablest labor leaders in
the country, has announced that this
will be the big theme for discussion at
a national farm and labor conference
to be held in Washington early in De-
cember. At that conference there will
be representatives of the four railroad
brotherhoods, the Federation of Labor,
and agricultural producers in general,
including the cooperative growers as
sociation of the east and west, the
fruit growers, the potato growers, the
beet growers, the National Grange and
other organizations of similar ma
ture.
"We will see,' says Stone, ''if we
can't work out collective method of
bringing the producer closer to the
city workers without so many mid
dlemen."
This is not only the most ambitious
effort yet made in this direction, but
perhaps the most promising The labor
unions and the agricultural associa-
tions are well fitted to work together
They have the machinery to start with
and they have a mutual interest to
serve. Both sides could profit greatly
by cooperation. They also have ample
precendent for the undertaking, and
much experience to draw on, in the
extensive use of such methods in
England.
If English farmers can sell their
products collectively to workmen, and
workmen buy collectively from farm
ers, with the producers getting more
for their food and the consumers pay
ing less, surely it can. be done in this
country. And it organized labor once

RAILROAD SQUABBLE

Washington, ID. C.-Forecasts on the
probable legislation to be passed by
Congress to provide for the turning
back of the railroads now indicate that
the Republican majority will try to
get the required bill through by the
end Of the year. At best it can be but
last minute legislation, and those in
formed on the problems the next Con-
gress will have to face predict it will
not pass until after the roads have ac-
tually been handed back. The great
est embarrassment this causes to the
country is that it continues the
eleventh hour activities that have
stamped this Congress, where they
have acted at all, and tends to in
crease industrial uncertainty
Under instructions from the High
Command of the Republican party the
subcommittee in charge of both the
Cummins Senate bill and the Esch
House bill have been working at full
speed during the past ten days. The
orders from above were not forth
coming until the Railroad Administra-
ton forced the committees into cor
ner with the resent communication
from Director Hines, warning them
that unless action was taken the COM
mittees would be put before the pub
| lie in the light of having failed to
function on one of the country's most
important problems.
AS the plans now read there will be
an effort to get the bill before this
Congress by the middle of November.
If the bill does go before this Congress
| it will be Just before the time the Re-
publicans hope for an adjustment so
that it can lay before the country
nearly a month and be used as a feel
er on public sentiment
The Republican leaders will probab-
ly insist on an adjournment period
long enough to allow them to collect
their mileage, even if they do not have
much time to spend on their POLITICAL
preserves at home. The next regular
session of Congress will begin the
first week in December Besides the
railroad legislature it will have be-
fore 1t definitely at that time legis-
latIon for the benefit of the soldiers.
The soldiers legislation may be post
poned, on account of the Importance
of the rails legislation. Aside from
that there will be dozens of important
measures, neglected during the dilat-
ory and procrastinating special ses-
ison that will press even more ur-
gently at that time for action. 1t is a
practical certainty that whatever leg
islatiOn is brought up affecting the
railroads, it will have much opposition
on both sides of Congress and the DILL
as it finally passes will be ON better
than a makeshift that will require
changing later on.
