C o UR T OF INDUS TRIAL
RELATIONS.

The court of Industrial re-
lations recently started in Kansas is
being watched all over the country
with no small degree of interest. Judge
w. l.. Higgins. presiding judge of the
court. has described the organization,
working and jurisdiction of the court,
and while there is not space for the
full article, the following excerpts are
of interest:
The Kansas Court of Industrial Re-
lations is emphatically not tribunal
for arbitration. The Kansas law is
based upon the principle of adjudi-
cation, not arbitration. The. law pro-
vides for the adjudication of indus
trial controversies in the same order
~ way, and by the same kind of trib-
unal, as have been used in the adju-
dication of all other classes of contro-
versies for hundreds of year.
The Kansas industrial code provides
for court of industrial relations con-
sisting of three judges to be appoint
ed by the governor for definite terms.
1t provides said court with a staff of
expert engineers, accountants and ex-
aminers. 1t gives the court jurisdic-
ton over all the essential industries
IN the state. 1t provides that, in case
OF controversy between employers
and workers. or between crafts or
groups OF workers. engaged in any of
said industries, if the controversy
shall reach the point that it endan-
gers the continuity of service, the sup
ply or the necessaries OF life, threat
ems the public peace, endangers the
public health, or affects the general
welfare of the people, that the court
upon ITS own initiative. or upon the
application of either party to the dis
pute, or upon the petition of the at
torney general, or upon the complaint
or ten citizen taxpayers of the local
ity, shall take Jurisdiction, shall in
vestgate, determine and adjudicate
such differences, make findings of fact
and issue an order in the premises.
BY such order the court may fix rules
and regulations concerning hours of
LABOR and working conditions, and es-
taoilsh a minimum wage or standard
OF wages, all of which must be OBJ
served by both parties unless changed
py agreement of the parties and ap-
prevail of the court. 1t provides that
II either party to the controversy be
dissatisfied the matter may be taken
directly TO the supreme court of the
state for review and shall be by the
supreme court given preference over
osner civil cases in the matter of an
early hearing. Throughout the contro-
versy and litigation the industry must
continue to operate. In other words
when private quarrel between en- |
pioyers and employees approaches the
point at which open hostilities and in /
dustrlal warfare are imminent, when
the homes of the land are threatened. |
when the health and comfort of wo-
men and children are jeopardized, the |
state in the exercise of its police |
power, steps forward and say: Hold,

LUMBER INDUSTRY VAST.

The annual freight bill of the lum-

$215,0000O0. Lumber and forest prod

ALAskANs NOT LAWLEss


 The flippant remark of ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge against Alaskans as published in these columns few | days since, wherein several years ago, as chairman of the committee Qn territories he filed a report declar- ing they were lawless people and un- fit to elect their delegate to congress lacks even the slightest scintilla or basis of truth. On the contrary, of aff the high intelligence possessed by any particu- lar division of the American people the Alaskans have it over them. It is true that outside newspapers are a few days behind in reaching them, but for that they are devoured the more voraciously, every line read and re-read. Nor can people who habi tUally pay from 10 to 25 cents a copy fer newspapers that others pay only five cents for be called either unin- telligent vicious or lawless. During the Spanish war which was just be- fore the slur was uttered, the streets of the northern mining camps would be damned with Americans listening to one of their number reading whole newspaper, especially of war news, and cheering loudly every time a favorable mention of Uncle Sam's men was made therein. So many times has it been shown that the furthest frontiersmen were not only the best and truest types of it's cit1- zenship, but the most intelligent as we'll, that it would seem that men having the nerve to ask for and hold seats in the United States senate, and who aspire to be president, should find it out after awhile. In fact, it does not seem possible for any such person to be ignorant of the truth, which makes it the worse and con- victs the defamer of these worthy
 
 mistaken but viciously and wilfully slanderous.
 More than being of the highest intelligence, Alaskans are the most law-abiding of all Americans. With practically no peace officers you sell dom hear of crime there, but you do frequently hear of acts of great heroism, of patriotism as in their quick response to the war call, and of thrilling hardships endured in the search of fortune which is for the direct benefit of the whole country.
 Moreover, they are the most gen. erous people on the face of this planet. Alaska is the best country for man to be broke in that there is in the whole big-hearted west. He never misses a meal It is an un- written law of free-masonry of the north to feed every newcomer, and if he has no money it is loaned free ly, with no fear of it's not being re- turned when it is convenient. Many fortune in the north has been trace able to friendships begun by the find CT of gold mine furnishing a tip to some person who helped him when broke
 It is no disgrace there to be broke and the ones who have been in such condition never are ashamed to ask for assistance from their brothers of the open-hearted north.
 Does such facts tends to corrobor- ate the islander of MT. Beveridge when he declared Alaskans were law less and he asked congress to pass 8 law for the president of the United States to appoint their delegate to congress Ely Nevada Daily Times

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-Augustus
Post, secretary of the Aero Club of
America, yesterday denied a report
from Chicago that national and in
ternational balloon races, due to start
there in September and October, had
been called off.
I'VE have had some difficulty In
finding suitable starting place
there" Mr.. Post said, land IL is pos
sible that some other Middle West

however. no possibility of our aban-
doning the races entirely"
Mr.. Post declared that an announce
ment to the contrary by James S.
Stephens, secretary of the Aero Club
of Illinois, was without authority.
"These races are not being held
by the Illinois club, which is af-
filiated with the Aero Club Of
America, and they have no power of
declaring the events on or off," Mr..
Post said.
Mr.. Post added that no change in
the dates originally fixed for the
races was contemplated. He said that
10 American balloons were expected
to compete in the national and IL

Nearly half OF the population Of the

Atlantic coast is 1920. .l2O. while the
total population OF the United States
is estimated at 105.0s2. coo.
While these estimates are not based
on the 1920 census figures. they have
been shown 10 be fairly accurate esti-
mates In those States where the 1920
census is completed, as is shown by
the fact that the estimate for tho
State OF Delaware was 21G.041. while
the completed 1920 census returns
show the population OF that State as
223. .O03.
The most thickly populated geo
graphical division is the Middle At
lantic states. New York. New Jersey
and Pennsylvania. with an estimated
North Central States. including Ohio,
Indiana. Illinois. Michigan and Wis
consin, are pushing the Middle Allan
tic States for the honor with a pop
ulation OF 20,l71 900.
Although the largest in area the'
States comprising the mount n
States have the smallest population
of any geographical division, 3.423. $50.
The States included in this division
are Montana. Idaho, Wyoming. Col
orado. New Mexico. Arizona, Utah
and Nevada H.. 90 - \
New York stin holds the 'honors
for being the largest state with
population of l0.740.395. with Penn
sylvania second with an estimat ed
population of s,7S6565. Illinois third
with 6.297, ,049. Ohio fourth with 81
304,67S and Texas fifth with 4.5T2.630.
Rhode Island. although the smallest
State in the Union in area, has a
greater population than ten other
States. Nevada has the smallest popu-
lation with but 114.742 estimated as the
number of persons within its border.
Wyoming with an estimated popula-
tion of 1S9.O2S Is the second small, Il
State in point of population.
New York again leads in growth.
having gained 1.G26,TS1 in populatiou q
since 1910. New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma and
California have all shown rapid
growth since 1910. the increase in
their several populations being close
to 100000.
Oklahoma has shown rapod growth
in the past twenty years, its popula-
tion now being estimated at 2.421.156,
while in 1900 it was but 19O,39l.
