Mr.. Alexander pointed out"
And they say that production. ana
more production will solve the n. Z.
L.. and that the law of supply ana
demand governs business today. Aw,
rats!
In my opinion, a better method
would be to require workmen to pro-
duce no more and no less than all the
people can rightfully use. The pres
ent system Of Industrial relations per-
mits the workmen to buy back only a
small part Of what they produce. the
rich use what they can and waste
what they desire, and the surplus
must either be disposed of in foreign
markets or the manufacturing es-
tablishments shut down until the de-
mand catches up with the supply.

are now back with their families In
suoh a condition (physioally) that
they are not really able to do q days
work for q contractor or an employer
who must have good results from MS
employees or lose money. Now every
voter interested should take note OF
those who are in Office and who are
irving to keep our sick and wounded
bows from getting what IL really due
them. Money can never pay those
men for what they have DONE But
we can show our gratitude by meet

them a start In life again.

10 the Editor a, THE TIMES

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
1t 10 proposed that the Executive
shall be required to appoint his
Cabinet from members OF the two
houses OF Congress. This would inn
mediate1y raise to a higher standard
the members Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives and also make 1t impossible
for an obscure and unknown person
to be promoted from q position as
stenographer or q civil service clerk
to be q member OF the Cabinet.
The Senate Of the United States has
become moro representative at the
present time than the House OF Rep
and unfavorable change is traceable
to the facts referred to above. For
merely the people looked to their rep
resentatives in Congress as their
natural and proper leaders. and they
delighted to honor them by choosing
them for the Presidential office.
There are many instances in which
this happened, but there Is no In
stance at any time in the history OF
the country that the people chose q
Senator in Congress for the Presi-
Dental office. At the present time
there Is only one member OF the
House OF Representatives who IL OF
fering himself as a candidate for the
Presidency, but many, many Senator'S.
Heretofore, during the entire history
Of the republic. our Presidents have
been drawn from three sources al
most entirely. They were either sue
cessful commanders of armies or
m members Of the Cabinet or members
Of the House of Representatives. 1t
seems that the rule prevailing for
more than q hundred years is changed
and the people no longer look to their
great body OF representatives to lead
them and represent them AZ to legis-
lation. as to party leadership and as
to the Presidency.
A law requiring the President to
appoint members OF his Cabinet from
the two Houses OF Congress would
have a tendency to restore the eauili-
brium which formerly prevailed be-
tween the three great departments OF
Government, and which was intended
to be the controlling principle OF the
Constitution.

Believes Back Pay Increases to
Army and Navy IL Bonus.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES;

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
In reply to Capt. J. A. O'Donnell,
Hath Field Artillery, in opposition to
the bonus for soldiers and sailors
of the late war. would like to state
that Congress recently granted the
officers and enlisted men OF the army
and navy increases In pay which
were retroactive TO January 1, 1920
In order to be sure that those who
have been discharged or have resign
cd since January 1 may not be recon-
pensed the law contains a little Joker
to the effect that to receive back pay
the person must have been in the
service At the time the bill became a
law. IL this back pay arrangement
10 not a cash bonus, II would be hard
to define this term. Now, II the cap
tain who accepted this retroactive
pay strenuously opposes the bonus
for the soldiers who have been dis
charged, It seems that his position IL
untenable.
II seems that the pronteers desire
to keep an army and navy OF sstis-
fled individuals In order to protect
their millions In money taken from

To the Editor Of THE TINES:

opposition to the progress of Democ-

should be proportionately representa-
tive.
