amount of the wage of the foreman,
or the highest paid employee of the
shop.
Another, and to my mind a much
more equitable method as well as
flexible way, is to accept $45 as a
minimum salary, and then add So a
week to that sum for every workman
or person on the pay roll. If there
are ten workmen, then the salary
would be $45, plus ten workmen or
persons at So each, or $65 week.
Should the number reach into the hum
dreds, and the work of management
be divided, even though there is but
single proprietor, the so a week for
each employee may be reduced to 81,
and this can be considered fair pro-
position. The basis of this method is
that every individual employee in
creases the responsibility and adds to
the work of the proprietor, who there
fore should receive that extra COM
pensation. 1t should be worth at
least 50 week to have to direct the
work of another--in many cases it
is worth a whole lot more.
Here are the two plans offered for
those proprietors who have been con-
sidering just what basis they should
use in placing their names on the pay
roll, and l trust these plans will help
them solve the question.

COLLEGE LIVESTOCK WON
FORTY-ONE PRIZES


Ten head of fat cattle and thirty
six head Of sheep left their pens at
the University of Missouri and went
to the 1920 State Fair at Sedalia.
They returned with forty-one prizes
nearly one each. These animals and
others are now available to students
in animal husbandry who are being
taught practical live stock production
by the College of Agriculture.
Not only did the animals owned by
the College win prizes, but a large
number Of graduates of the College
Of Agriculture showed live stock at
the State Fair and won many impor-
tant prizes. The College is now COM
piling record Of the winnings of
graduates and former students. When
this is made up the record will show
that more than $50 prizes on live stock
alone were won by the College of Ag-
riculture and its graduates.

BRECKENRIDGE LONG SAYS
BANEFUL SENATE GROUP
WOULD CONTROL HARDING

Clinton, Mo-, Sept. A. Breckin-
ridge Long, Democratic nominee for
United States Senator, in a speech
here before an enthusiastic crowd at
the court house, attacked Senator
Harding as one of the "Baneful group
of Republicans in the Senate" which
has conspired to control the presi-
dency.
Before a crowd of more than a
thousand persons at the Blue and
Gray reunion at Urich, Long, accom-:
panied by Congressman c. c. Dickin-
son, of this city, spoke at length on
complishment of the Democratic ad-
ministration.
Speaking at Clinton, Long said in
part: "Mr. Harding is one of that
"baneful group of Republicans in the
Senate headed by Penrose and includ-
ing johnson, Borah and Lodge. They
conSpired to nominate one of their
number for the presidency and at 2
a. m. in hotel in Chicago, succeeded
in so doing.
"They are new conspiring to elect
him and expect through him to con-
troll the president and will, if Hard
ing, by any unfortunate circumstances
should be elected. Unable as they are
to successfully attack Governor Cox,
they resort to the subterfuge of at
lacking President Wilson, whom in
one breath they allege to be a sick
man incapable Of conducting our pres
ent national affairs and the next in
consistently hold up as a spectre all
powerful omnicient directing not only
our present national affairs but plan
ming to control them through the
years to come. We view with amuse-
ment the efforts by Mr.. Harding and
other Republican politicians to evade
the issue.
After aggressive attacks Mr.. Cox
is making on them and which have
upset all the plans, the Wilson tar
get has been taken down and the Cox
target set up. Let hem train their
fire on it if they can find time between
the vicious assaults Mr.. Cox and Mr..
Roosevelt are making upon their al
ready retiring forces.
I'VE invite comparison of the con-
structive and progressive National
administration while the Democratic
party was in control of the congress
with the reactionary unprogressive
and obstructive conduct of the con-
gress since the Republicans gained
control of it and we condemn their
failure to enact a simple constructive
measure, their inability to reduce the
taxes one cent, their refusal to re-
peal the war profits tax which has
long impeded and interfered with
proper business activity and their
general inefficiency in office"

WHAT ABOUT THE
PR0PRIETOR'S WAGE?
(By r. u. Porte.l

A whole lot is being heard these
days about the advance in wages of
first this class Of workmen and then
that, and considerable sympathy is
being expressed for the "white col
lar" workers. Likewise, we hear a
lot about how the cost of living is
gradually creeping up and up, en-.
quilting the poor laboring man and the
SLAVE" of the white collar. Strikes,
threats of strikes and vacations" of
all sorts are constantly being aired
in the press, while wage increases of
every kind have ceased to be novel;
ty. Yet, with all this in the air, and
all the talk and trouble and worry,
every one seems to have forgotten
one poor individual, and not one has
ever expressed any sorrow for his
troubles nor worried over how the in
creased cost of living may have af-
fected him. No tears have been shed
for him, no editorials printed, no SYM
pathy expressed. Indeed no, not bit
wait minute, we will mention just
one person who has wept with his in
dividual and wondered just what was
going to be done, and that sole per-
son who expressed any sympathy be-
cause of conditions that have been and
are existing is the better half, she
who is commonly known as the wife,
of that individual. Not one person
other than she-no, not one--has ever
expressed any sympathy, or in fact
even thought much about the matter.
1t was only the other day that my
attention was brought to this matter,
and then l FASTENED to the editor
of The Inland Printer, and told him
about the thing. He was just as much
surprised as !, and then he insisted
that take some space and tell all
about it, just as one paper told about
the troubles of the postman whose
muddy feet ofttimes spoil the front
porch, and whose coming brings such
bad tidings along about the first of
the month.
The one person forgotten, disre-
garded, and who has been the outcast,
is the proprietor of printing office.
What about the employers salary?
What should he be drawing right now
as a living wage, to enable him to
keep the wolf from the door and also
give his devoted and long suffering
wife enough so she can feed him once

race, and there1l blow from out the
spielers, with an ample fund enthused
all wound up like seven-reelers, what
the yatchmen could have used. There1l
be praises, interlarding wild, enthusi-
for Harding and another yelps for
Cox. And we'll say, "The windy
wheezes from those tireless, leathern
threats might have furnished 12-knot
breezes for those drifting racing
boats. Yes, this seems to be the rea-
sol for the Gains at Sandy Hook,
save air for the campaign season.

the very smallest amount, and should
not be considered as a profit or divi-
dend, but purely wage and nothing
else. And this is the wage that the
proprietor of zone man" print shop
should be drawing, for of what use is
it to draw less than this wage and
take all the worries of a business ev-
en- of that size, when that sum and
perhaps more can be secured by work.
ing just forty-eight hours week for
someone else? There is no argu-
ment against that sum, and if one
cent less is being paid by the propri-
etor to himself as wages, in addition
to profit out of the business, then he
is not doing himself and his family
justice, and-but what's the use, the
argument is all on the side Of that
wage and not one cent less.
That being the bottom, the sky is
the only limit on the way up for the
proprietor of a printing office who
employs one workman or more.
Here is where we are likely to get
into deep water and founder around
bit, but if we look into the matter
we can easily see two ways to solve
the question, and both seemingly on
a fair basis.
The first method is very simple
one, but it can be applied only where
several persons are employed. The
idea under the proposition is that the
proprietor should be the most mpor-
tant employee. On him almost alone
depends the success of the business,
and as e measure Of the Importance
it is at least double that of any other
person in the plant. Under this ar
rangement, the proprietor should draw
just exactly twice the salary Of any
other person on the pay roll. II the
foreman gets $50 a week, then the
proprietor should be on the pay roll
for $78 a week, or Just twice the

she may choose, exactly as she may
be member of it and be member
of any church she may choose" Get
into the parties" is the league slogan.
Mrs. Gait says:
an this hour of victory there is but
one regret and that is that every man
and woman in the nation does not
share our joy. Today there are those
yet too blinded by prejudice to recog-
nize the justice and inevitablity of
woman suffrage, but tomorrow we
know that we shall work together for
the common good of this great and
glorious nation"
