IDLE HALF THE TIME.

When the railroad brotherhoods say they can't live on present high wages someone ought to ask them why they don't even up the difference between the cost of living and wages by working more and loafng less.
 The railroad mans trouble is not low wages, neither is it the high cost of living. but rather it is a matter of trying to live high while working less hours than any other class of labor. Thelr present wage is higher by far than the average throughout the country.
 For it is recalled that in their last national convention the en- gineers limited the mileage any engineer would be permitted to run during a month to 4800 miles for engineers on passenger trains and $500 on freight trains, after which, although this would mean working only about half the time, they must stop and loaf during the remainder of the month. This is the cruX of the situation and explains why they are not earning more-because they re- fuse to work ike other people.
 It isn't a question of too high prices or too low wages, but of too little work, and this is a point and the question to be dealt with before further burdening the public with higher rates.
 And the same applies to many lines of industry. Increased pro- duction is only sure remedy for high cost of living and increased production will not come out of the air or without work. The Manufacturer.

How to Kill the Profiteers.

Hon. J. J. Sanders of Prescott, formerly a member of the terri torial legislature and later parole clerk at the state prison, has thru a letter to Carl Hayden. outlined his idea of meeting the present high cost of living. Let wages, salaries and rents be adjusted in proportion to the average cost of the necessaries of life, is the idea.
 We should have a national com mission empowered to adjust matters of wages, salaries, rents, etc., in accordance with high prices" To which it is suggest ed that national commissions are to far away, too slow and too full of political red tape. Let the states, counties, municipalities and towns put up a license for privilege of doing brsiness with the public in selling and buying: Any unprofessional conduct, cheating, profteering, etc., will prove a violation and create revo- cation of the license. Then they'll be forced to act honestly or go out of business. State Miner.

WASHINGTON, Il. c.. Aug Is =
The rapid rise of the United States
as a naval power during the pas.
two years is graphically demon
strated in figures showing the sea
strength of the various world pow
ers, compiled by the navy depart
ment's office of naval intelligence.
They show that thee United States
close pressed by France in 1917
for its place as third naval power
in the world, is now second only to
Great Britain and is at present
pushing to completion a building
program that will make the Ameri-
can navy, for the first time in re-
cent history, a formidable contender
for first naval honors.
A little more than two years ago,
the figures show, Germany, then
second naval power, boosted more
than 100 more ships of all classes
tudn the OHltCu EotdICo, Win O eoS"
tonnage exceeding that of the Am.
erican navy by nearly 2c0,V0O tons.
Great Britain's fleet at that time
numbered a total of $50 ships, ag.
gregating ~2,375,564 tons as com
pared with Germany's 262 ships and
1,058,240 lions and the United
States 1873 ships and S60,O17 tons.
Today Germany, now in third
place among naval powers, has a
paper" navy of $50 ships of al
types, totaling S26,637 tons. These
figures do not include German yes.

Russian vessels in the hands of the
Germans. Regarded from the stand
point of fighting efficiency as dis
tinguished from number of ships
and tonnage, Germany is outclassed
by both France and Japan, heI
navy being composed almost entirel,
of old and obsolete vessels. The
pride of Germany's sea power wai

sunk by their officers and crews.
Japan, fifth naval power in 1917,
has passed France and Germany
both and now ranks next to the
United States In fighting sea
strength. The actual standing of
the naval powers of the world to-
day from the standpoint of modern
fighting strength according to the
navy departments figures, is Great
Britain, United States, Japan,
France, Germany, Russia and Italy.
The completion of all vessels now
building and projected will add 219
ships totaling 100000 tons of the
British navy as compared with 34y
ships and 1,116,3S9 tons for the
United States, "a ships and 167,200
tons for Japan, and 10 ships and
10000 tons for Germany, according
to the most authentic figures avail
able at the navy department.
The completion of the present
building program, a matter of about
three years, will find the chief naval
powers of the world with the follow
ing relative strengths: Great Brit
ain 955 ships a~ggregating ~2,772,542
tons; United States COS ships, to-
falling ~2.117.922 tons; Japan 10
ships, 1929 tons; France 253
ships, 1927 tons. and Germany
l463 ships measuring 923,437 tons.
AS a result of the great torpedo
boat destroyer building program
carried out by the United States
during the war the American navy
now includes more than $50 de-
stroyers of the fastest anu lates;
type, with nearly 200 more build
ing or contracted for. Great Brit
ain owns about 425 of tLis type of
vessel, many of them old and of
little modern naval value. and has
about 10 building or authorized
Germany's destroyer force has been
so reduced as to make it a negli-
gible factor. Japan owns 40 mod
ern ~destroyers, according to best
