WHO'S LOONEY NOW? SEE DOROTHY GISH

The way in which perfectly sane and normal people are railroaded to private sanitariums by people who want-to put them "out of the way is nowhere more clearly shown than in Dorothy Gish's latest photo-drama, Turning the Tables" which comes to the Coliseum Theatre Thursday and Friday.
 A plotting aunt who seeks to steal tie fortune of her minor ward, and @ interruptions physician who was promised a large fee are the engineers of the. scheme. Dorothy was brought before another doctor and given the sham trial of proving herself sane. which can rarely be done under any circumstances. In the end the aunt receives her just deserts, and Dorothy is restored to estate she rightfully inherited.

WhatLs Valueo D.B. Wheeler
Knows; Lawyers Disagree

ly. But. take a brickbat. nobody
wants one.
IF you put a man in a cage in the
middle of desert and place glass
of water just beyond his reach, at
first he may not want it; then, he
may be willing to give a nickle for
it and later a dollar. Now the
value of that glass of water rises
to that man in accordance with his
desire to obtain it-a million of dol
lars, if he has that much.
On Sliding Scale.
IF you had my grandfather's
watch. which you had purchased
some place for 81. it might be worth
$500 to me; therefore. the value Of
that water is $500. On the other
hand. after having given you $500
for the watch. it reverts to its for.
mer value of 81. because nobody
else wants one of those big old
fashioned things"
On the question of railroads, Mr..
Wheeler contends it is not possible
to arrive at bn equitable price for
the railroad properties based on the
theory of value. because there is no
element of equity in value
The only way to settle that Ques-
tion, he said. is for the government
either to set an arbitrary price. or
reach a compromise through the
well known principle of bargaining.
The railroad properties are repre-
sented by securities. said Mr..
Wheeler, and if the securities are
valuable it is because some body
wants them and is willing to pay
for them.

What is value? That is the ques-
tion which is occupying the attention
of more than 100 lawyers. many Of
them judges. called before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to settle
the question as it relates to the val
'uation of railroad properties.
A statement was made recently that
economists had never been able to
solve the question of value.
Now comes ID. b. Wheeler. inventor
and patentee of the Wheeler System
of Bank Credits. with the claim that
he has a definition for value. discov-
stood all tests.
He stumbled upon it. he said. while
studying the free silver and gold
standard question which was made an
issue at that time in Mr.. Bryans first
campaign.
Authorities Differ.
In studying the question of value,
he said, he was surprised to find that
no two authorities agreed upon the
same definition. but that each of them
made plausible argument which
knocked the foundation from under
the other definitions. AS a result. Mr.
Wheeler said, he found none of the
definitions tenable.
Take. for instance. he said. the
definition of Carl Marks, the Ger
man economist and Socialist, that
labor creates value. In the case of
a man finding an uncut diamond in
a gravel pile. Marks arrived at its
value by computing the labor in
volved in the production of all other
diamonds.
You can't charge misapplied
labor to a problem of that kind"
said Mr.. Wheeler. 1T would be like
q man wanting to walk to Balti-
more. forty miles away. walking
100 miles in the opposite direction
and then retracing his steps, max
ing the distance to Baltimore 24O
miles.
And so on with all other defini-
tions of value. They don't stand
the acid test.
wheeIer's Definition.
My definition for value is-un-
satisfied desire. Sounds foolish,
doesn't itT' he said smilirgly.
There are two factors in value"
session of some object. and the
other is the desire on the part of
somebody else to get it.
The value of an object or a thing
is measured by the intensity of that
desire, and the value is great. or
small. according to the degree of in
tensity.
I'm the case of a diamond, 1t is
intensely desired by a great many
people, and 1t is valued according

District Auditor Announces
3,007 Employees Receive
Less Than $1,000.
NO RELIEF TILL MARCH

Gobs of gloom were evident among
the employees of the District govern
ment yesterday when they heard of
the action of the House District Com
mittee in pigeon-holing the Zihlman
bill. which provides for immediate sal
ary relief, until the recommendations
OF the reclassifcation commission are
made.
Chairman Mapes announced that
hearings on the bill will be post
poned until these recommendations
are completed. which will be some
time in March. The bill would have
given immediate increase of from
10 to 40 per cent to District en-
ployes.
simultaneously with the action of
the House committee, there was is
sued a report on conditions among
employees in the District government.
The tabulation was drawn up in the
office of the auditor for the District
and announced by w. F. Franklin.
who has been leading the employees
fight for better wages.
According to the figures, there are
S.O0 employees in the municipal gov
ernment. including shool teachers,
but excluding firemen and police
men, who are receiving less than
N.0CO a year. basic salary.
There are 1,5S employees who have
not had any benefits in the way of
increases in basic whatever. These
compose the clerical forces of the
District Building. employees of muni-
cipal Institutions, library workers,
clerks. janitors and custodians.
Drastically contrasted with this,
the report shows, are conditions in
the police department. where sala-
ries have been increased 55 per
cent in the last two years; in the
fire department, where a "a per
cent boost has been handed out
since 1917. and among the school
teachers, who have been given a
total of 81 per cent increases dur
ing the past two years.
The report shows further that $50
employees receive $1.OO0. 500 receive
$3.50, 245 receive 500, 81 receive
$500. 130 receive $500 and 997 en-
ployes receive only $3.50.
Mr.. Franklin. who is president of
the Municipal Employees Union, de-
clared last night that the statistics
will be presented to the House Dis
trict Committee when a hearing is
granted.
