1t is being pointed out that mil
Hons of dollars have been lost thru
government operation of railroads.
But who lost it? And who found it?
VIII it be returned to the original
owner? 1t can hardly be said that
this huge sum has disappeared-gone
out Of existence. We often hear of
the loss of millions on Wall street and
in many other ways. II all the money
that has been reported lost in the past
had actually departed there probably
would not be a dollar in circulation.
The truth seems to be that what is one
mans loss is another's gain and the
loser always stands a chance to get it
back. When the railroads begin COL
lecting sufficient revenues to enable
them to make a profit probably ship
pers will say that they are losing mil
lions of dollars as a result of the re-
turn of the roads to their owners.
Money said to have been lost by the
government went to the employees and
patrons of the roads and they will pay
it back later in the form of taxes

The Massachusetts legislature has
had a committee at work trying to get
at the reasons for the high cost of
living, and the committees report
agrees with that on every other in
auiry made with regard to the subject
that it is primarily because of a de-
crease in production per unit. The in
dividual is not turning out the work he
formerly did. The committee reaches
the conclusion that legislation is pow
erless to correct conditions; that ef-
fort in this direction is likely to do
more harm than good" Correction
rests with the people themselves. They

for him to be robbed of all of that
aggregate of conveniences is to leave
him poor and desoiate indeed.
In estimating how much a man
loses when he has his wife's affection
purfoined from him. we must also take
into account the fact that 1t dimin-

In the old romantic days a man in

Washington, March 12.-Enactment
of legislation for the control of the
meat packing industry was advocated
and opposed today before the house

Growers association. urged the legis-

L. d. H. Weld of Swift g. Company
continued his statement against the
pending control bill.
THE cry that this legislation will
put the packers out of business is all
bunk" Mr.. Mercer said, adding that
government supervision was needed il
only to Vstore the confidence OF the
producers.
I'VE want the government to tegu-
late and control the packers and
stockyards as public utilities" said

would do untold good"

In New York. $4,000 members of
the Federated Labor unions are
threatening a strike on account of
high rents. But how can the workers
expect lower rents when members of
the building trades unions are reeeiv-
ing $40. a day or more for their work :?
Their pay must come out of the pock-
cts OF the tenant class, of which they
are a part. An increase in wages in
the building trades not only causes
rents TO advance but curtails new
building, thereby enabling landlords to
give the screw another turn. An IL
lustration of this may be seen here in
Topeka. where in the face OF steadily
advancing rents DUE to scarcity OF
houses. mechanics set a higher scale
of wages effective April /, which tend
further to discourage the erection of
more houses. The only possible way

DO NOT BRUSH TEETH
Only 275 Out of 1904 Kansas School
Children DO Regularly.

Many Kansas children do not brush
their teeth regularly, acco -ding to the
report of DIR. Florence Sherbon, of
the child hygiene division of the state
board of health. Only 275 of the
1,004 school children examined under
the new dental inspection law brush
their teeth regularly. There were 126
who reported that they had never
used a toothbrush. Forty-five said
they had toothacae often.
Twenty-six per cent of the school
children have defective eyesight, It
was learned in the general physical
examination which was made at the
time of the dental inspection. Ten per
cent are underweight, more than IL
per cent have defective hearing. and
10 per cent are dull mentally.
