affect them, equivalent to the voice
which they have as citizens in de-
termining the Legislative enactments

1t is as inconceivable that the work
ers as free citizens should remain un-
der automatically made law within in
dustry and commerce as it is that the
nation could remain a democracy
while certain individuals or groups
exercise autocratic powers.
1t is. therefore, essential that the
workers everywhere should insist
upon their rights to organize into
trade unions. and that effective legis-

A RELATIVE WAGE.
What is a relative wage?
Ever give it a serious thought
OF course you have felt that the real
measure of wages is not in the dol
lars and fractions thereof. You know
it is the amount of necessities OF
life it will buy.
The British call it the REAL
WAGE"
Old Professor H. C. of L. has
taught almost everybody that wages
are RELATIVE; that the purchasing
power of the dollar in the pay enve-
lope goes up and goes down mostly

IVORY SOAP.
Ivory soap-it floats. So does the
stock. Last week the Proctor &
Gamble Company passed around stock
valued at $500 share, to few favor
ties with money, for $500 share.
The passing out of this stock is
mighty sweet to those fortunate
enough to be on the inside but how
about the consumer who is being held
up for seven cents for five-cent cake
of soap? The company could have
made bigger hit with the public, es-
pecially at this time, by cutting the
price and perhaps the odor would not
have been so noticeable to those fore

To state legislatures taxation COM
mittee is having great time of it
this session scratching behind their
ears and twisting their hair in their
efforts to find way to make up the
revenue lost because of prohibition.
But that problem ought to be easily
solved. All the committee need do
is to call in some of the dry" pro-
moters-they had it all figured out
as sunshine end roses after we have
prohibition. They told US there will
no longer be need for jails, courts and
policemen after we are all sober and
since this is about all we have to
pay taxes for-why worry about tax

how those little two-bit pieces pile up

And with prohibition staring us in

them graver by quitting work to paw
