IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Webster City Freeman-Journal: The
supporters of Governor Lowden for
president are not seriously alarmed at
the increasing jealousy and bitterness
displayed between the supporters of
Wood and Johnson. II the delegates
pledged to the two latter become an
CRY at each other they are likely TO
vote for Lowden in the convention.
Viewed from every standpoint the
chances for Lowden's nomination
seem good.

False Impressions.

To the Edtor OF The Gate City:
In Mondays issue of The Gate City.
in the telegraphic news, there ap.
peared a statement purported to have
been made by e. T. Whittier. repre-.
senting the railroad owners, before
| the wage board, that in the last five
years railroad clerks and freight
handlers have had their wages
itripled Nothing could be further
| from the truth, and the general pub,
/ lie, when it reads such reports, natur-
ally think that all railroad employees
are receiving from eight to ten dol
lars per day for their services.
/ will quote below. on the workday
basis. few figures to show the real
condition in Keokuk, and will go back
/ 10 1913, seven years ago, instead CT
five, as in Mr. Winters statement.
| AS a days wage in 1913, truckers and
freight showers, including piece
workers, received from $50 to $40;
in 1920 from $500 to $3.50 Freight
house foreman in 1913 from sos TO
s2.70; at present from $500 to s4.l6,
or approximately 81 per cent. in
crease. Switchmen (foreman) in
1913, $3.50; now $3.50, increase As
per cent. Switchmen fhelpers) in
1918, S3.3U: now !so.co, lhcTedSe %
per cent. For clerks on monthly
basis, receiving in 1913, $500 per
month, now $1,000, increase 81 per
cent. In 1918, $1,000 per month,
now $4,000, increase 81 per cent. N

increase 45.7 per cent. In 1913, $500
per month, now s127.50, increase IS
per cent, and so on; the higher the
rate, the lower the percentage Of In.
crease Have these been tripled?
No. And still the most conservative
estimates on the increased cost Ct
living during this period place 1t 1t
not less than 100 per cent over 1918.

Commissioner Aitchison. Of the

Commissioner Aitchison, Of the
interstate commerce commission, be.
fore two meetings on May nineteenth
stated that the. fact must be faced
that men are unwilling to work III

those who went on strike April CT.

OF them having gone into automobile
factories at $500 per day. The same
is true right here in keokuk; mum

FINANCIAL PRUDENCE.

English observers explain our price-cutting
movement as the result of a voluntary nation
vide experiment in self-denial made by the
American people. Europe, they say, Is already
beginning to follow our lead and general radl-
cal drop in prices is due. The fact is that
Americans are intelligent people; and while
most of them will ''have their fling" as the
phrase is. they realize the value of financial
prudence and call a halt ere going too far. Only
exceptional people are financially reckless to
the last The men and newspapers which
mould public opinion have consistently for
wear past counseled discretion in expenditure;
and it was inevitable that their advice would IN
time bear fruit and an epoch of more Judlclous
outlay ensue Besides this, experience is teach
ing people what they really want and need.
president Wilson is getting ready to crack
the party whip reads line in some Wash
ington correspondence He may crack his party
while he is at it. He has already divided it so
that opposition is open and there is reason to
believe that behind the screen he has divided
it so that he has now a minority so small that
his friends have no difficulty in counting it. This
is a bad year for cracking whips, party, group,
factional or other varieties. There has been
deal of driving It is time for real leader
ship along the way the people want to go.
Senator Capper is pushing his bill which
authorizes associations of agricultural producers,
these associations to have the same privileges
as thouse Of manufacturing industries. The
provisions of the bill would apply only to or
CARNATIONS handling commodities in interstate
commerce. The farmers want this measure
and there is no just reason why the privileges
mentioned should not be given them. Economy
in handling and marketing farm and dairy pro-
ducts would mean greater production OF them
in the end and cheaper prices for everybody.
! Next week is to be Boy Scout week and a
general program Of activity has been planned
One Of the best ends the week can serve is to
interest the thousands of boys who not in the
Scout ranks. in becoming members and inviting
