labor dispute. 1t, therefore, includes
most of the voters. At every election
these voters have the power to right |
economic wrongs, including the fun
damental wrong that gives to a part
Of the people ownership of the natural
resources required by labor for pro-
duction. 1t is because these resources
are monopolized that laborers have no
other means than the strike, or threat
of strike, to secure a greater part of
their product than barely enough to
live upon. Nevertheless the majority
Of voters in Kansas and elsewhere ig-
more year after year this state of af-
fairs. Year after year they give
precedence to minor questions. The
right of labor to use of the strike is
/ ignored. The public" permits monop-
oily Of natural resources to continue.
What right then has this same pub
+ lie" to complain when its ignorance,
/ neglect OF contempt Of the rights Of
labor makes conditions SO that
strike is the only way open to better
an intolerable condition? What right
+ has Governor Allen to complain Of
strikes when, as governor Of the
state. he has neglected his duty to call
attention to the fundamental wrong
upheld by law? 1t is regrettable that
Mr. Gon1pers overlooked the opportun-
ity t. make this point clear He could
have given Governor Allen a very hard
nut to crack

Somebody Of course must be tbs
goat. and Street Commissioner George
kindred graeiously comes along at the
oppormne time and stands still while
the horns arc adjusted Somebody
has to stand for all the HI on the
garbage question, but that is no rea-
Sun Why it should be loaded onto the
street commissioner It looks as
though with no one giving the gar
4 bage question any attention and Kin
j dred taking it upon himself to do the
best he could by it, naturally must
4 also stand for an kicks and criticism
that 60 with it 1t would seem that
s. the street commissioner would be kept
busy these days getting the streets in
passable condition. And it must be
said that he has been doing this. Yet
because Of the rotten shipping service
Of these days and the failure Of oil
to arrive, one Of the members bawls
the street commissioner out for his
seeming delay in oiling certain streets
Surely the life Of the street commits
sioner with the garbage mix-up is no
a bed Of roses right now
