A fish rare in these parts, quaint
salmon, weighing seven pounds, was
caught in Burlington a few days ago.
This species of fish is seldom caught
in this section of the coun ry. In fact,
they are so rare that there is no law
on them in this state. According to
old fishermen, only seven or eight
have ever been caught in Lake Cham

II Wages Were Equal

Many people believe that managers
of business receive too much pay and
the laborers too little; and that better
results would follow an equal dis
tribution of wages between all classes
but the following information by
George z. Roberts in the March mum
Der of the American Magazine shows
how little benefit it would bring to
common labor. He says:
The United States Steel corporation
is one of the concerns which pays high
salaries to its officials, its various
managers, and its selling force. Elk
elusive of these high salaries, the
average pay to all the other employ
ees is $3.50 day. Now lump all the
salaries and wages together, from the

II paid worker The average will then
eb S5.3S3 day. That is to say, If
everybody were paid alike the wages
would be just five cents day more
than the present average. These are
the actual figures calculated upon the
salary and wage rolls of the year
1918.
Now take another example. You
may say that the head men" should
not receive more han $4,000 year.
In 1916, the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company figured out what
would be the result IL this were done
in that organization. ! think 1t will
surprise you.
II all salaries over $4,000 year, in
|! the Bel Telephone system were cut
to that amount, and the money thus
saved was distributed among the
workers who have been receiving
less than $4,000 a year, the average
pay Of those workers would have been
raised only seventeen cents week,
or SO year If no one in the Bell
Telephone system should be paid
more than $4,000 year, and the
amount saved should be distributed
among the workers receiving less
than $4,000. their pay would be raised
only twenty-eight cents week, or
SIS year, And if you made the top
limit of salaries $500 per annum, the
increase received by those who had
been receiving less would be sixty
four cents q week, or $50 year.
This Is another instance where the
cold facts wither beautiful theory.
The results undoubtedly would be
worse than the figuSes indicate be-
cause the reduced pay OF the manage
men and statesmen would seriously
affect the efficiency of the institution.
There is no way of making i person

of compensation would rob the insti-
tuition CT its ahlest management. The
reduction in managerial, ability I'M
doubleday would so impair the con
duct of the business that the average
man could not receive as mncn wage
as he does at present.
All suggestions of reform in the
compensation of labor must be in
flnenced by the fact that in ali walks
of life there are ten, five and enc
talent men and that every man de
serves proper compensation for what
ever degree of ability. he possesses, -

it would be wise to raise the assess

Were the grand list raised to 100000
It would take tax rate of less than
two dol airs to raise the same amount

position to this plan it is urged that
it would increase our safe and coun-

the bigger towns eventually have to
pay the bulk OF these state taxes and
the difference is more apparent than
real. The present system results in a

seem possible that anything new was
to be found. Yet another gem was
brought to light few days ago, when
a Philadelphia man named Alexander
brought to Ugh from the musty
depths OF the Congressional library
copy OF the Sangamon Journal, pub
lished at Springfield, H.. on Feb. 25,
1912, containing Washington Birth
day address by Lincoln, who was
then a young man. Mr.. Alexander
a student of Lincoln, says in his
Judgment this address will in the
years to come be read or recited at
virtually every celebration of Wash
ington's Birthday the country over.
The following paragraph in particular
is quoted as an example of Lincoln's
eloquence even at that early day:
This is the one hundred and tenth
anniversary of the birthday Of Wash
ington We are met to celebrate this
day. Washington is the mightiest
name on earth--long since mightiest
in the cause of civil liberty; still
mightiest in moral reformation. On
that name an eulogy is expected. It
cannot be. To add brightness to the
sun or glory to the name of Washing
ton is alike impossible. Let none at
tempt it. In solemn awe pronounce
the name and in its baked, dcathless
splendor leave ii shining on.

though we'll toward half the towns

figures show that the result was due
to the failure of the drys to vote but
this theory does not by any means ac-

a thing OF the past but the demand for
