Readjustment of Wages
Advocated in Price War
Republican Party Advised to
lake Leadership in Fight to
Reduce Living Cost
10 the Editor of The Tribune

1he coltof OF The Tribune
Sir: Capital has been assailed
from every quarter for the high cost
OF living, but has not labor contributed
more than its share toward the soar
ing of prices?
Labor organizations are making an
just demands upon capital for scale
of wages inadequate to the principle
of fai- days work for a fair davis
pay, and the captains of industry. 70
meet the demand, saddle it on 10 the
price Of their products.
There must be a retrenchment
Labor, as we'll as capital, must make
sacrifices to bring prices to norma,
figures: Overpaid labor must concede
to having slice cut from their melon
ana capital must deduct this and m,
reasonable profits from their products
Capital and labor must get touetbar
to bring about the desired result ana
II rests with the Republican nartv 'to ~
enact laws so that the government can
step IN between these factors. cnrh
the protiteer and give a fair waga 10
labor. This alone will settle the m.
rest, prevent strikes and throttle tho
unseen hand that strives to wrect. ce

Federal Education Law
Systematic Training for All
Children Urged as Issue
tor Of The Trihune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Ny contention Is that an edu-
cationai plank is national require
ment, as the foundation OF our future
government is the development of our
children. The heads of the family, IN
less possessed of sufficient means to be
independent. are very often compelled
to sacrifice themselves or their children
in their endeavors to make their way
in the world.
By being deprived OF sufficient in
come to properly educate and cio:ii,e
the family, many opportunities are al
lowed to pass which, no doubt, would
be the power which would bring them
TO position OF affiuence and indepen1-s
ence.
The Federal education law would ra
necessary as q compelling power fo.-
those who would take advantage of tie
situation without fulfilling its require
ments. HARRY ID. LODER

Real Economy
Means End of
Party 'Spoils ,
More Science and Less Poll
tics Needed in Govern
ment 10 Uphold Vows
OF Winners at Elections
Peril Turks i'm Reward
Republicans Are Advised to
Adopt a Plank to Wine
Out the Vicious System

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the February issue of Tho
l1lbune the majority floor leader of
the House of Representatives exalts
economy as the winning issue. stating
that "the party which will most com
mend itself to the good Judgment of
the American people and which is
likely to get their support is one that
not only promises but practices econ
omy IN government expenditures.
1t is true beyond a doubt that such
party would receive an Overwhelming
popular support, but genuine economy
nus' be based on something deeper
than the usual pairing of departmental
appropriations already padded in antjci-
patton of such reductions.
Genuine economy must begin with
more science" and less "poiitics" in
government, with administration Nv
experts rather than through political
favortism or eXpedience; by exueri
enced otficeholders rather than bv
successful vote gatherers. No system
could be more low-mindcd, inefficient,
uneconomlcal, and if you will, un-
patrlotlc' than the spoils system. with
which our political life is still sorelv
with that condition whereby all loyal
party henchmen are rewarded bv rov
ernmental offices for which they may
be, and too often are. entirely untitled
by training, and who are entirely de-
void of the peoples confidence.
A plank along these lines would be a
voluminous one containing material
sufficient for several planks of normal
Importance.
Is not the Republican party big
enough to acquire the "heroic mood"
and declare with genuine honesty for
straight business administration
wherein the peoples business" will be
considered and dealt with at least with
the dignity and efficiency obtainable
through the usual we'll recognized prin
ciples Of modern practice-H. Z. w.

u. S. Can Cut
Living Cost by
Conservation
Utilization of Neglected
Wood and Farm Produce
Seen as Way to Bring
Prices Down to Normal
Economy Plank Is Urged
Problems of Transporta-
ton To Be Adjusted
by General Gains Made
To the Editor of the Tribune:

10 the Editor of the Tribune:
Sir: One of the conspicuous proh-
lens of to-day has to do with the cost
OF food and fuel. Perhaps the diff
Guilty is not so much lack of production
as failure in distribution. Prices of
fruits and vegetables are excessive.
Yet thousands of bushels of apples de-
slrable for the New York market are
allowed to decay in the orchards. Other
fruits and vegetables are not harvested
The problems of transportation and a
fair return to the producer are prob
ably back of the failures. Of course
much OF this loss is not first grade
produce. But its total value fer food
purposes would lower the range Of
costs.
Producers and middlemen NAV not
be able to see Increased gain for them
selves; transportation companies NAV
be short of facilities for CONVEYING the
added bulk to market; but, for the
state and nation the resultant sturdier
physique and more contented mind Of
our population would have value be-
yond computation.
The fuel situation might be eased bv
the use of waste in the woodlands and
forests of our Eastern states. Great
numbers of chestnut trees in this gen.
erai eastern section have died in re-
cent years. In many cases this dead
timber still stands or decays where
gales have felled it. Other trees bv the
thousands fall and decay.
The cutting OF defective trees would
add TO the value of the whole. Let's
ind a way to use this accessible
wasted fuel. and thus save coal.
More emphasis on the reclamation Of
low ground and swamp lands for crop
purposes would increase productive
acreage greatly.
more general use of water power
could be made to lessen living costs
Therefore, suggest a plank that will
advocate war on waste and an annlica-
ton of the principle of conservation
TO these matters so Immediately essen
tlal to the welfare of the people.

Policy of Patronization
Toward Aliens Opposed

To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: Americanizing foreigner
does not imply accepting lump of
alien gutta percha and moldng it into
worthy compound suitable for true
American citizenship. The work in
the main may be almost complete be-
fore the candidate reaches American
soil
He may even have more to give
than to receive, so with the high-class
foreign type let US not be patronizing
but humbly appreciative. laying stress
only on our political ideals
WALTER 4. CLENDANIEL.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-13
Even-Handed Justice

Bolshevism and all other forms of
revolutionary doctrines must be de-
feated by giving even-handed justice
to all. A sense of injustice is the
cause of unrest. We will protect in
their rights and privileges the ne
groes, the Socialists, the recently
naturalized and every group of our
voting public. We will also favor
and urge the immediate develop
ment Of democratic practices in all
industries. Every American should
have an articulate voice in the con-
troll of his government and Of his
chosen industry.-A. 7. Otis

Navy Reorganization

a complete reorganization of the
Navy Department; inaugurating
system similar to the British Ad-
miraity; making the department
strictly military, under control of
naval officers. The true American
wants fighting men at the head of
Americas fighting forces. The true
American wants the navy unham-
pered by red tape and free from
petty civilian favors in the form of
appointments. A thoroughly efficient
military organization in control of
military men, not civilian mature
studies. III. B. NJ.
