THE RATE DECISION.

IN discussing railroad freight rates
in Kansas. last month. The State
Journal took the position that rIf the
roads are able to earn 6 per cent hey
should be satisfied" 1t has been
found by the Court of Industrial Re-
lations that the roads operating in
Kansas can do this without any in
crease in passenger fares.
The court finds that the earning
power per mile of the roads doing
business in Kansas was 1882 for the
first five months of 1920 compared
with s6,as1, the average earning power
per mile of all the roads in the entire
district.
In one year the operating revenues
of the roads which do business in Kan
sas increased 22.9 per cent and their
net operating revenues Increased 33
per cent. In other words. railroad
revenues on the systems doing business
in Kansas are Increasing faster than
operating expenses.
Basing its decision on these figures,
the court has denied an increase in
passenger rates. While it's right to
enforce its decree may be overruled by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the federal courts, the justice of
its conclusions cannot be questioned.
1t is not fair that Kansas people should
be made to pay for the upkeep of
roads which they do not use.

AMERICAN STANDARDS.

While much is heard regarding the
American standard of living and a
wage standard, little or nothing has
been said about a standard days work.
In few trades what is generally con-
sidered fair standard is maintained.
but in many the amount of labor per-
formed, instead of remaining the same
or being increased with advancing
wages, has been reduced.
The bricklayeF, it is reported, has
his output limited by union rules, and
the number of bricks laid Is less than
third of what used to be laid few
years ago by competent workmen. 1t
is reported in one locality union rules
have cut down the size of the paint
er's brush in order that the measure
eff service may be reduced. In a GER
tain foundry, it Is related, a workman
was seen to turn out only one large
casting whereas two had been his
portion for several years. When
! asked what had caused the slump in
his output he replied that he had
lately Joined the union and the rules
of the organization forbade him to
turn out more than one casting.
Labor has insisted that prices come
down, and they have come down, and
it is probable that they will come
down lower. But the edict has gene
forth that wages must not come down
or there will be trouble.
Now, no enc believes that the COM
munity at large is benefited by a lew
wage scale. All are glad to see the
workers getting high pay. But it is an
occasion for just indignation when the
men who are getting these high wages
| refuse to do a fair days work in re-
maintained, If prices are to be reduced,
the output Of labor should be speeded
up instead of being curtaiIea. The
employer must be prosperous IL he is
to pay high wages. He cannot be
prosperous If his production is cut by
| slaekers on the payroll who are mere
ly following out an organized policy.
This country has been able to pay
high wages because production was
large. That production was large
chiefly because labor saving devices
were installed in our leading indus
tries. These appliances are at the
command eff our competitors in other
countries, and il we cannot make the
goods cheaply here, there are others
abroad who can do so and sell them
here at levels which we cannot meet
Then we shall face unemployment In
real earnest, and despite protests
wages will so down.
| It is entirely unnecessary that the
weFld or any part Of It should have to
meet such crisis. Let wages stand
as they are! Let prices go down to
increase the purchasing power of the
wage dollar. But labor must d@4ts
part. It must fix a higher standard
for it's own efforts. It need never be
afraid Of overproduetion. Increased
production means more wealth. mere
earning power. more spending power
higher standards OF living for all in,
stead ef higher standards OF living fol

The fuss that is being made over
what is termed the League of Nations
issue by the rival candidates and the
partisan newspapers is not disturbing
the people a particle. They know that
no party will do anything that will
bring harm to the country. 1t matters
not what kind of a league we Join or
whether we join any league. the peo-
pie have the last say. No set of-nien
can commit the government to a
course of action which the people do
not approve. and, get away with it for
any considerable length of time. The
country is prosperous and satisfaction
with existing conditions is greater than
usual. so the candidates have nothing
else to talk about except the League
of Nations The result of the election
probably will be the same that 1t
would have been, had the league not
been mentioned.
