POLITICAL EXPLOITATION Or
INDUSTRY

The danger of minority rule becomes
greater every day. 1t reached its height
in recent strikes where few leaders con-
trolled millions of workmen. We see the
same situation in elections under direct
primary where the proponents of meas
ure vote it through due to the fact that
large percentage of voters fail to vote.
If we don't look out we are apt to find
this nation saddled with the Plumb plan
or some other equally vicious system for
ply because our citizens neglect to express
themselves until after the "ocganized
minority have put their deal through.
To illustrate, persistent propaganda
is working silently on the Plumb plan. 1t
has two distinct assets-the already Gre
ated organizations of railway workers,
tending to an increased solidarity, and
the selfish incentive it supplies for the
class use of that organized power politi-
cally.
That the pressure is already being
quietly applied is evident from the mail
of certain member of the Senate. As a
result of his opposition to the Plumb plan
he has received not single letter of con!-
mendation from citizens, who are against
the measure, but literally thousands Of let
tiers of condemnation from hackers of the
measure who would profit by its passage
If success crowns this propaganda.
what assurance that it will stop with the
railroads? That host of other large
lines Of business will stay immune?
And what assurance that the fallacies
and dangers Of the Plumb plan will he
defeated if American business remains
dumb and Indifferent? All industry is n
danger.

WORK OR STARvE

No one has yet invented system by
which we can consume loaf of bread
without having first produced it. If we
all decline to produce food, we all starve
Divinely simple, isn't it.
A New Jersey farmer asks why should
producer of food be compelled to work
frty-eight hours week to feed another
who works but forty-two at much higher
pay.
He suggests that if all farmers will
agree to. cut their acreage to one-fifth,
they'll only have to work six hours and
they'll get five times as much for their
products.
But if the farmers produced only one
fifth the usual amount of food, there
wouldn't be enough to go,around.
And if the farmers were paid on six
hour basis with double pay for overtime,
and the same thing applied to distributors
all the consumers could do would be to
form union and refuse to eat.
But a'man must eat. Wherefore some
one must labor as long as necessary to
produce the required amount of food
1t one hundred men on an island agree
to share and share alike, each mans in
come is just one-hundredth of what they
produce. None of them can work less
without cutting down his own resources.
OF course, the time would come as some
one has very aptly pointed out when
those who were fleetst of foot and could
alone catch the wild goats upon which the
hundred lived, would demand more re-
compensed and undoubtedly get it.
The farmer is now in the position of
the fleet footed goat chaser. He must not
be irritated into striking for more pay
and less work. But he could not be blam-
ed for following example set on every
side.
1t is all very sad, but the plain truth is
that we are approaching point where
our national production may be eclipsed
by our national payroll. That would mean
bankruptcy. Then it will be, work or
starve.
In the days Of the Garden of Eden. the
situation would have been met by Adari
and Eve agreeing to eat less and hunt
more. If anyone can think Of better
solution he has yet to offer it.

SEVEN CENT FARES

The Public Utility Commission of New
Jersey cuts the red tape of a zone system
for street cars in Newark and allows a
flat seven cent fare with one cent for
transferers. The zone system was de-
clared failure in Newark. If a street
car line in thickly populated territory like
this cannot make it on less than a seven
cent fare it is pretty clear evidence CT the
difficulties which confront the traction
companies in more sparsely settled sec
tions of the country.
