,ExILED IN THE CAPITAL
By j. e. Jones


The country has been thrilled by
the news that Miss Mabel Boardm IN
has been appointed by the Preside at
as one of the three Commissioners
of the District of Columbia. Form
err President Taft has been particu-
larly joyful in commencing the APP
pointment. Miss Boardman vas at
the head of the American Red Cross
Society for many years, and her
fame has not been increased by the
fact that she has been designated as
Commissioner of the District. The
appointment is, however, fine re-
cognition of Miss Boardman'fi sex,
all of whom outside the District of
Columbia will be entitled to vote
But Miss Boardman is the sa re kind
of political exile as are ali the
other residents of the District of
Columbia. There are a little less
than half a million inhabitants of the
small area, which has been sc down
along the shores of the Potion ac to
be used as Capitol for more than
hundred million people. BY some
extraordinary method Of reasoning
barred from Voting, and although
all residents of the District are dis
barred from voting, and although
they may see their President riding
about mostly any day, still the price
of living in this little spot known as
the District of Columbia means that
one must forego all political rights.
The three Commissioners take the,
place of a mayor and comm On council
such as are provided in ordinary
cities, and they have broad powers
with reference to the local govern
ment. They appoint most of the
subordinate officers, inc uding police
heads, assessors, and the dog-catcher.
They are, however, separate from
the school board which has special
powers, and their members are APP
pointed by the President. Tax
payers, public utilities and others
who have grievances take them to
the District Commissioners, and if
the Commissioners do not give them
a fair deal they have no redress, as
there are no electors or public tri-
bunals to appeal to. The Commits
sioners are most always friends of
the President, or some member of
his family, and while they are usual
" high types ofcitizens, yet they are
not responsible to the public which
they are supposed to represent.
None of them take the active part in
civic matters that falls of the LOT and
duties of mayor.
Notwithstanding the Tennessee
legislature and the appointing
powers of the President of the
United States, Miss Mabel Boardman |
hasn't any more vote than man in |
her old home town, even though she
is one of the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia. However, she I
has distinctions and renown, which /
is in stricking contract to another APP
pointment to CommissionelShip of /
a man almost unknown to the resi- I
dents of the Capital. How this
latter appointee secured his job has
not been explained. The Washington
newspapers could find nothing to
print about him except that he was
an enthusiastic club member and an
ardent devotee of golf.
This living in Washington, "the
parlor of the Nation" is very
poetical existence-but the meter is
disjointed in a good many ways.

MR.. FORD'S EXAMPLE.

m MR. HENRY FORD'S announce
IVH ment of sweeping reductions
Az in prices of his motor vehicles
might afford hair-splitters fine
chance for speculation and argument.
Did he forsee the widespread decline
of prices that was imminent, and get
in on the ground floor" just in time
to lead the procession? Or did he
act upon his independent initiative
and did his action cause the general
cutting of prices which followed?
Without arguing the matter we are
inclined to think that both theories
are true in part; the latter perhaps
rather more than the former. But
in any case the achievement reflects
the highest possible credit upon Mr..
Ford, both for his business provision
and acumen and for his courageous
public spirit. The words of his an
nouncement are golden, and deserve to
be written upon the walls of every
business office in the land:
The war is over and it is time war
prices were over. There is no sense
or wisdom in trying to maintain an
artificial standard of values. For
the best interest of all concerned it is
time real practical effort was made
to bring the business of the country
and the life of the country down to
regular pre-war standards.
That is sound business sense, and
it is equally sound civic mortality.
The force there is in it was quickly
made apparent by announcements of
comparably sweeping reductions in
other important concerns in Mr..
Ford's own line of business, and in
many other very different lines. These,
we doubt not, were largely due tc
Mr.. Ford's example, Of course,
the process must continue. We do
not suppose that all prices will in
stantly be restored to the pre-war
standard. But great many of them
have already gone far in that direction
and they cannot return, and others
very generally will have to follow
them. Speaking of the resumption of
specie payments, a generation ago,
a clear-minded statesman said "The
way to reduce prices Is to reduce
them." Long ago he showed him
self great leader in industry aHq
In this one stroke he
has shown himself a like leader in
eeonomics.--Harvey's Week

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1920-10-14

published figures showing that the
railroads of the United States during
August handled a Q reater volume of
freight traffic than ever before in
that month, even in the war years
of 1917 and 1918. AS the grain
moving season progresses, the de-
mand for cars is increasing, and the
pinch Of a car shortage cannot help
but manifest itself through the COM
ing months.
The extent to which the railroads
are regaining their efficiency as the
congestion and other effects of the
labor troubles which ~were acute in
April are being overcome, is indi-
dlcated in the large increases being
shown in the statistics Of revenue
freight car Loading, compiled by the
Commission on Car Service. There
rs, throughout the entire railroad in
dustry, a greatly improved situation.
This is not only important to the
railroads, but it is even more i'm
portant as it reflects the welfare of
the country.
The railroads are the most highly
organized, or unionized, of any of
the country's industries. The rail-
road brotherhoods have demonstrated
time and again that they are able to
protect the interests Of railroad wage
workers. Railroad managers have
IN recent years treated with the
brotherhoods, and although there
have been a lot Of disagreements,
each situation has smoothed itself
out. But during last spring the
yard men in Chicago precipitated the
outlaw railroad strike. This ex-
tended to other parts of the country,
but the brotherhoods joined with the
rNllroad managers in suppressing the
revolutionists, and the OUTLAWS"
were emphatically defeated. AL
slml-laW situation has occurred in the
strife of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
employees. In the latter instance, as
IN the situation with reference to
railroad employees, a serious condi-
ton was brought on through a
minority of the employees attempt
ing to overturn the contracts made |
between employers and the employees.
The responsible labor element in
unione throughout different indus
tries are insisting that contracts
made in their behalf shall be carried |
out. Ia order to enforce this rule !
they are themselves, Kidding their
membership of outlaws" who do not |
recognize their moral responsibility !
in living up to their contracts.
The situation With reference to the
coal industry emphasizes the condi-
tions stated above with reference to
other industries. All official circles
in the National Capital are deter
mined mat the wage awards to coal /
miners cannot be repudiated, and it |
still remains to be seen whether the
"outlaw" elements will be strong
enough to prevent the country from
getting coal this winter.

SMALL FACTORIES WANTED.

There is nothing that will make a
city grow faster than number of
small factories. Washburn should
encourage such small institutions for
many large enterprises have started
from a small beginning. Right here
at home, take for instance the Ken
feld-Lamoreadx company. All of
the older residents, and number who
have not resided here for so long can
remember the time when this factory
employed less than fifty men, run
during a part of the time, but take to-
day it is one of Washburns best
manufacturing Institutions. employ
ing nearly two hundred people, in the
several departments.
In the Washburn excelsior plant
there is great possibilities. This in
ssitution is now employing about
fifteen people and promises to grow.
There are number of branches of
this industry which this concern can
so into, such as making mattresses,
excelsior pads, etc, and this may
eventually become a part of the bust
ness of this company in which case it
would employ a large number of
people.
The Northern Products Company,
another institution started during
1920, on a somewhat smaller scale
than the excelsior plant, also offers
possibilities. This concern manu-
features sweeping compounds and
may eventually branch out into other
lines of manufacture.
There is opportunity here for start
ing a canvass glove factory, a shoe
factory, basket factory, trunk
and bag factory, and otaer similar
lines. Washbuln offers the highest
class of labor to be foulld anywhere
in the world and sites can be had
aplenty.
It is much harder to get big in
dustry started than it is to start
a smaller concern and Washburn
people would do well to devote their
time and energy and to offer fnan-
cial aid to the sma Ter industries.
Started in a small way, with the right
kind Of backing and business manage
men they are bound to grow. W'hcu
we have several of these we get bust
ness on a sounder footing and our
prospects for growing are greater.
AS a rule the big industries locate
IN town without any inducement on
the part Of local people, but the big
manufacturing concerns are not plenti=
ful and the cities that have them
locate in their midst are what might
be termed lucky" but with the in
