A DECENT LIVING
Beyond MAJORITY

A side1ight is thrown on the cause
of present unrest by statistics from
the United States bureau of labor.
While the income of the average wage
earning and farmers family in Amer
lea is less than 81 900 IL year. Il family
Of five in Washington. -. c., needs
S2,G26.47 Il year to live in dccency and
comfort, reports DIR. Royal Mceker.
commissioner Of the United States
bureau of labor statistics.
The budget is divided as follows {:
Food, $7773.H' housing, fuel and light,
SIPS; miscellaneous, $54G.S2; clothing
$51372. The latter is apportioned in
the following manner: Husband
$121.1G; wife, $lGG.:lG; boy Ql years),
$4,000; girl Is years., $500; boy G.
years), SIT.
The estimate provides for only one
winter union suit n year for the
father and mother and quart and
one-quarter of milk day for the
three children. DIR. Meeker treats
every other item in similar manner
to hold the budget down to what is
ACSsAIcu Tic WNeSL pJSSlI)lc lllIlllIlulu
This is shown in the allotment for
street car fares, which provides for
transportation to and from work and
necessary rides to stores and markets,
with an "occasional' street car ride
for pleasure. Amusements must be of
the simplest kind and include moving
pictures "Once in WHILE"
The budget does not include the
purchase of secondhand clothing. ITO
do so," declares DR.. Meeker, would
tend to convert 1t into charity or
pauper level and would remove that
element of self respect and decency
which has been constantly held in
mind in preparing this budget"
II it takes $2,647.47 a year to pro-
vide decent living for family Of
five, and over half the families of this
country receive less than half this
amount, the very life of the republic
depends on speedily finding a remedy
for this condition.

CANADIAN FARMERS FOR
UNITY WITH WORKERS

That the Canadian farmers under.
stand the plot Of the plutocrncy to
drive !, wedge between the workers
and farmers and in keeping them apart
to destroy all hopes for the democratic
ZatiOn Of government and industry, is
indicated by the following from the
Western Independent. the official or
gan Of the organized farmers of Al
bcrta:
"rhc question Of unity between
farmers and lubOrcrs is being used
and will be used more in future as q
means of setting these two groups in
opposition. thereby weakening the
democratic forces in the political fight
We might as well face this issue and
set forth clearly what is and what
may not be practicable in the way of
uniting forces.
I'm the first place neither the farm
ers nor the IaborcrS are seeking or
ganic unity. Group divisions arising
out Of the nature of our Industrial
system in it's present state of develop
ment make organic unity difficult.
These are many minor questions upon
which the urban and rural workers
would disagree if details were not
dealt with. Perhaps the most obvious
snag is that Of the eight-hour day.
Party politicians harp on this string.
They say to the city worker that the
farmer wants eight hours but he wants
it to be eight hours in the forenoon.
and eight hours in the afternoon.
"N"W even the eight hour day is nor
an impossible barrier between labor
and farmers. This can be solved when
the time comes. At present all that Is
being sought is cooperation between
the tw" democratic groups in SO far
as interests are seen to be Identical.
How far are the labor and farmers
interests identical?
Both are seeking to build IN dem.
ncratic Organization within each sonar
ate group. This provides an affinity.
Then both are seeking representation
in parliament, this is the basis for
political cooperation. 1t is to the
benefit OF both to cooperate !nasmuch
as both are looking for representation
without which both are equally help
less.
If there are differences on minor
matters they will be met in good time.
The common enemies are Exploitation
and Autocracy. Labor and Farmer
must and will cooperate to overthrow
these common monsters. When that
is done they may divide or adjust
details. aud unite ~ conditions dc

RAILROAD RETURN
WOULD Be COSTLY:
Increased Rates Would Amount
to $4,375. 100000, Says
Director Hines.

No less authority tban Walker y.
Hines, director general of the rail
roads under government control, has
warned the people that Il return Of
the roads t" the private owners will
cost the country almost four and Il
half billion dollars Il year in advanced
freight rates.
1t seems to be generally agreed ut
least Il - per cent increase in rates
will have to be handed out when the
lines are turned back 10 private opera
ton. . -
Now IL IS per cent increase in rail
WY freight means $S75, OOO,OVO more
hauling charges that the ultimate con-
sumner will have to pay.
Raise Costs Five Times as Much.
Director General Hines, an old rail-
road man who has made close study
Of the action and reactions of railroad
rate increases. says that every in
tive and multiplied as the goods move
from farm or mi ne to factory, whole
saler, jobber and retailer until it is
reflected in advance to the consumer
Of an average Of five times the amount
of the increase allowed the road.
An increase Of 10 cents per ton on
coal freight rates, for instance, tradi-
tionally means an increase of so cents
per ton on coal delivered in the con-
Sumer's cellar.
On this basis, therefore, the $751;
100000 increase In freight charges
that would result from IS per cent
boost in freight rates, would grow to
Of the people of $4,375, 100000.
Government Should Keep Control.
Woolley, who as member Of the in
terstate commerce commission, which
has control Of rates, has had an init
mate opportunity to study the effects
Of rate increases. believes that is not
an extravagant estimate Of what Il
will cost II the roads are Immediately
turned back to private control, he be-
lieves Uncle Sam should retain opera
ton Of the lines until conditions and
costs have become more settled.
1.-The problem In nutshell" he
says. els: Does congress propose to
turn back the roads at this perilous
time and thereby make new high price
levels instead Of lower price levels In.
evitable, or does it propose to enact
legislation requiring the holding Of
these roads for fixed reasonable
period, following the proclaiming of
peace, and thereby aid the vitality i'm
portant work of checking the profitees
and getting us back 70 normal? There
Is no blinking or svading that ques-
tion."
Since the last Of May government
controlled roads have been making
small profits over and above the $780,
100000 per month it pays the owners
in dividends. These profits amounted
to $2,OOO,OOO in June and had in
creased to $11 900 900 per month at the
end Of October. Government officials
are confident that not only will there
be no advance Of rates if the govern
ment keeps control. hut that these
profits the government is making over
and above dividends to the private
owners. will continue to increase

HOUSED FARM MACHINERY
LASTS THEE TIMES LONGER
(By w. G. Palmer, North Dakota Agri-
cultural College)

(By w. G. Palmer, North Dakota ARri-
cultural College,
Farm machinery is short lived. A
binder 10 used not over three weeks
each year and the average binder in
North Dakota is In service less than
ten years, which means that the num-
Der nea days service secured from q
binder is less than $50 days, or about
half a year. What other business could
afford to put in machine and secure
less than half q years use of it. The
life of the binder can be heightened by
proper care and housing. In many
cases its life could be doubled by hous-
Ing to keep the machine dry and by
putting thick oil or wagon grease on
parts that wear, as the bearings, the
needle and sickle. While the binder
alone is mentioned most Of the other
machinery ON the farm give but a
comparatively small number of days
service, that can he greatly increased
by shelter and care. 1t is estimated
that the depreciation on farm machin-
cry in the open is - to ~ per cent
while when housed it runs from 3 to IL
per cent. In Wisconsin it was found
that Il $500 machine shed when hous-
ing $1,000 worth of machinery was
earning % per cent Il year interest.
The farmer who thinks nothing of
leaving Il $500 binder in the field the
year around, would be shocked if his
wife left $50 sewing machine out
over night.
The amount of use that is secured
from farm machinery needs to be care
fully considered and it will likely be
found that care and shelter will paw
big returns on the money and effort
expended.

UNCLE SAM RUNS
W0MEN'S HOTEL
Success of Public Ownership
Strikingly Demonstrated
in Washington.

North Dakota is no longer the only
spot in America where there are i'm
portant public industries. Uncle Sam
himself erected almost in the shadow
of the capitol Il group Of hotels for
his women empolyes in Washington
during the war, and now that the war
Is over this important public enter
prise is not only persisting but it il
actually thriving and exposing the out
rageous profiteering that is going on
In the private housing and feeding Of
the people.
At cost Of $2,9OOOOO the govern
Ment was forced by war conditions to
erect II group Of hotel buildings in
Washington for its women workers
that now house 1000 pleased and sat
rooms in this group of buildings and
in some Of them more than one woman
is living. The popularity Of this pub
lie tlomicilc is Indicated Ivy the fact
that every room is taken az he time
and there arc now more ,,.;tn 1900
women ON the waiting list for rooms
as fast rs they are vacated.
Several excellent features of this
government hotel life account for it's
unusual popularity. Chief among them
is the unusual prices charged by Uncle
Sam. This big hotel keeper aims to
charge whatever the cost of the SerV-
ice amounts to and the result is that
these lucky women workers are being
housed and fed for less than half what
It would cost them anywhere else. An
other drawing card is the infirmory
nurse and the irfilmary which provide
at cost for the guests when they are
sick or injured. Another feature is
the laundry in the basement where the
women can save expenses if they de-
sire by doing their own washing at
ridicuIouSly small charge for the use
Of the machinery and water and SOAP
Another attraction is the privacy and
protection the women get.
How does Uncle Sam manage to
come out even on these OUTLAWS and
what does he charge? Uncle Sam
and expenses. The money is turned
into the treasury of the United States.
Congress then makes appropriations
from this money to run the hotels.
The total cost to each woman guest
per month is $45 for room, excellent
meals, inf1rmary accommodations and,
and many other items.
Here is the list Of the items that
are paid for by the $45:
Room, $8.42; meals, $31.s1; infirn-
airy, q cents; shop, 66 cents; fire pro-
lection, Al cents; telephone, AZ cents;
general office, $263; insurance, 80
