No Cure in Politics

II HOSE fatuous persons-and there are
millions OF them-who expect bust
ness and industrial millennium to set in
with a change OF the national administra-
ton are laying up for themselves a bitter
disappointment. a Republican administra-
ton can no more bring about All instant rev.
olution in basic conditions than could ono
OF Democratic faith, had that been tho peo-
pies choice. Harding has promised n sweep
Ing program OF domestic legislation, much
OF it commcndable, but all the laws that
he may put on the books, plus all the OBJ
jectionabe ones that he may wipe away,
will not suffice to relieve the country OF
the dsagreeable rgors to come before tho
nerod OF readjustment may be considered
complete. No nation can undergo such
convulsion this one passed through dur
/ ing the war and not feel its effects for
years afterward. No political program,
however we'll considered. can furnish a
panacea.
Thanks to the nations wonderful bank
ing system, conditions have been largely
stabilized. yet it may not be denied that
business has slowed up to an alarming de-
gree, many factories have closed. others are
working on part time, building is practically
at standstill and agricultural interests
everywhere are distressed. 1t is condition
not altogether unexpected, but il must be
met fearlessly, frankly and, above ALL pa
tiently. if confidence is to be restored and
business of every kind brought back to
normal.
In every suggested solution for the ma
tional problem the finger of analysis points
uncrringiy to one Of the chief, il not tho
chief, causes. That cause lies in the high
price OF labor. both skilled and unskilled.
There is the weak spot in the business and
industrial fabric, and until it can be
strengthened there can be no satisfactory re-
adjustment. Either labor must consent to
accept reductions commensurate with the
reduced cost of living and of commodities
generally, or it mus. increase its output TO
justify its pay 1t cannot go on demand
ing maximum wages for minimum produc-
ton. During the emergency OF war wages
went to inordinate heights. AT that time
they were justified. But the war is over,
has been over for two years, abnormal con-
ditions no longer exist, and still labor re-
fuses to rccede from it's wartime standard.
In Virginia today vast fields of corn are
standing unharvestcd because the farmers
cannot afford to pay the price demanded
by labor necessary to save it. Hundreds Of
thousands of bushels OF other products Of
the soil have gone TO waste for the same
reason Every business is handicapped and
development OF every kind is arrested be-
cause labor at reasonable prices cannot be
obtained.
When labor realizes that it must do an
honest days work for an honest days pay.
then sanity will have returned and the ma
tons business will go forward regardless
OF who sits in the White House. 1t may he
that the bread lines will form and some
may he hungry before that time comes but
come it must. The silk shirt era has passed,
and labor must justify its name by accept
ing the inevitable.

he will insist upon action AT tina, .'hne'
Mr.. Green will propose pian 70
levy n tax on the privilege OF issuing
stock dIvidends, which, in his oSin-
ion cannot be attacked on Constitu-
tional grounds. His idea Is that the
tax should be graduated according
TO the market value OF the stock ana
should be at a sufficiently high rate
to put an end TO the practice OF lssu-
ing stock dividends.
II this is not done, then the rate
should be high enough, sara mr..
Green, to reimburse the Government
for the loss sustained as result or the
court decision.
According to revised estimates re-
ceived by Chairman Fordney, or the
Ways and Means Committee, from the
Comptroller OF the Treasury To-Day
the loss to the Government, under the
court Lewiston, will be in excess OF
81 90, 900, 900 on stock dividends alone
The refunds for 1917 and 1918. the
Comptroller estimated, will amount
to $35, 900. 900 for each year or a total
of $4,000. 900. The loss for 1913. he
figured would be greater than for
either of the two preceding years.

Rupture Kills .

Seven thousand persons each year are
laid away - the burial certificate being
marked Rupture" Why? Because the
unfortunate ones had neglected themselves
or had been merely taking care OF the sign
(swellng) OF the arliction and paying no
attention to the cause. What are you
doing? Are you neglecting yourself by
wearing a truss, appliance, or whatever
name you choose to call 1t? At best, the
truss Is only makeshift-a false prop
against a collapsng wali-and cannot be
expected to act more than mere me-
chanical support. The binding pressure
retards blood circulation, thus tobbing the
weakened muscles OF that which they need
most-nourishment.
But science has found a way. and every
truss sufferer In the land is invited to
make FREE test right In the privacy OF
.heir own home The PLAPAO method Is
Internationally the most scientific, logical
and successful sef-treatment for rupture
the world has ever known.
