LAUGHTER EXCELLENT TONIC.

New York Mail: When an indivi-

means brings back the blood to the

snarIina at Central"

Cedar Rapids Republican: We have
known fe& telephone girls and
have occasionally watched them at
their work, and almost invariably we
have found them not only diligent
and Industrious, but patient with the
frumps and frowsies and would-bs
sports or business men at the other
ends Of the wires, who think it is
their special privilege to have every
one hop and hump when they speak.
The wonder is that some Of the tele-
phone girls do not slap some of the
snarlers-at least over. the wires.
The public will find that 1t Will re-
ceive better service as it learns TO

MOTORS TO CUT FOOD PRICES

Washin gton Post: THE time is
coming when through motor trucks
and good roads the farmer will sell
his products directly to the con-
sumner" observed r. o. Waters, a
farmer-banker Of Kansas. I'VE know
that now the farmer Is the most In
dependent person on earth. He has
had to fight for his rights, but he has
won position where he can demand
his right now. Wheat undoubtedly is
going higher in price. 1t will keep
pace with the price of labor. l should
not be at all surprised If wheat were
to go to $2.75 a bushel within the
next year. There are many things
entering into the increase IN prices
OF farm products. OF course, the cost
Of labor Is 1T the bottom Of high
prices, but there are other things
which will cause the price OF wheat
to go upward.
Eventually, however, farm prices
must go down. There Is a limit for
everything. venture to say that
within the next five years wheat will
and other products in proportion.
And with the establishment of good
roads everywhere and the employ
ment Of motor trucks the time is
coming when there will be far fewer
middlemen. The farmer will serve
his customers directly, and neces-
sarily this will mean cheaper prices
to the consumer, while the farmer
will make just as much as he does
now"

TILE RA1LRoAD COMPROMISE BILL.

THE RAILROAD COMPROMISE BILL.
Although there are undesirable features In
the compromise bill providing for the return OF
the railroads to the companies, the measure
agreed upon by the conference committee ap-
pears to have sufficient merit to warrant It's
adoption by congress. The time before the date
of the withdrawal of the government from rali-
road operation is so short that 1t seems better
to accept the bill than to prolong debate beyond
the first of March, when the owners are to take
possession of the properties In accordance with
the proclamation of the president.
A deplorable change is the abolition OF the
anti-strike clause incorporated in the Cummlns
bill passed by the senate, and it is unfortunate
that it has been felt necessary to yield to the
house on this point The claim that prohibition
of strikes is unconstitutional might well have
been left to the decision of the courts In case
anyone should be dissatisfied with its workings.
The vital matter, however, was not entirely lg-
nored in the conference; wage demands. ac-
cording to the provisions Of the new measure,
must be submitted to boards consisting OF rall-
road workers and employees, and in event OF DIS
agreement the points in dispute are to be pass
ed upon by a federal board appointed by the
president and confirmed by the senate. Inc
success of this method of adjusting wage con-
.troversies is dependent on the character OF the
members selected. Failure to choose men OF
Icapacity and courage is reasonably certain TO
make farce of keeping the walking delegates
within the bounds of reason.
a regrettable section that ought to have been
cut out of the senate bill is the penalizlng OF
wisely located and efficiently managed roads
The conference modification is preferable to the
torginal draft in that something is conceded to
managers of ability and enterprise; fifty per
cent of the return in excess OF SIX per cent Will
be taken by the government and used for Dol

BAKERS BUSINESS METHODS.

Speaking at public gathering in New York
City last Sunday night Secretary Of War Baker
urged industrial reorganization in America
in order that 'our civilization may forge
ahead He appealed for better understand
ing between employer and employe, ''who
should have mutual regard for the rights and
services of each other" Continuing, he assert
ed 1--WE must set out to follow the ideals of our
forefathers- gather around our leaders and
sustain them
All of which is true and an outcome most de-
sired. But they are words that appear strange
when coming from the lips of the present secre-
tary of war. His example in dealing with en-
ployes if followed out would soon bankrupt the
nation, and the "better understandings he ap-
peals for may be sensed in the manner of his
practice in relation to employees In service dur
ing the war. In fact sensational charges of in
competency will be lodged against Secretary
OF War Baker in report to be presented to the
national house of representatives by special
committee which has just completed investlga-
ton of the methods employed In the construc-
ton of camps and environments for the army
during the war. The council of national de-
fense insofar as it had to deal with this con-
struction work. also will be, it is reported Sc
yerely criticized in the report.
Countless millions of dollars of government
funds were lost through the cost-plus system OF
letting contracts, according to the findings of
the committee. In numerous instances, the IN
vestigators found at least fifty per cent. of the
money spent might have been saved through the
letting of contracts outright. In other words
camps or cantonments which cost the govern
ment fifteen million dollars, might have been
built for half the price,
Because of the lack Of business methods III
awarding the constructions contracts the com
nittee will show Secretary Baker began IN the
limited States an era of high prices for govern
ment work, which reflected itself all through
the war and which amounted to a total loss, per-
hans. of several billion dollars in the whole.
Testimony gathered by the committee shows
that in some instances construction concerns
operating on a cost plus basis employed large
numbers of mechanics in erecting and tearing
down buildings as soon as they got them built.

GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS.

President Butler, Of Columbia university,
declares that the federal trade commission has
utterly misconstrued it's functions. 1t has pre-
Iferred to prosecute business rather than de-
jjvelop it; it has played to the gallery, seeking
|cheaply-won applause by violent attacks on
business instead Of meriting the approval Of in
telligent people by constructive acts. Instead
of advising business in advance the things it
could lawfully do, it's policy has been to look on
in silence while the best brains of the nation
set vast industrial undertakings on foot-en-
terprises which gave employment to thousands
and reduced the cost of staple products-and
then bring them to book as breakers of the law.
These structures are justified The govern
ments attitude towards business has been in
considerate and the reverse Of helpful. 1t has
seen in business a potential malefactor to be
brought to the bar on the least pretext. Not
ably has this been the government g attitude to-
wards the railroads. They were hampered and
hindered in hundred ways. Yet when the
roads were McAdoodled, the government found
itself compelled to do many things 1t had for
hidden the owners to do and punished as crimes.
