100000 persons in The ranks Of
the .wase-workers are not getting
any wages at all. 1t is strange that
the people who declare so vehem.
emily against any wage reductions
seem to overlook this fact.
The trouble is that wage payments
have been enormously reduced
without accomplishing anything
toward restoring the balance bs.
tween the industries. The loss Of
wages and production is sheer
waste. The cost Of production in
all the industries that have laid off
workers without reducing wage
rates is as high as II was before,
and prohibits the expansion Of con.
sumption. i keeps up the cost Of
living to all those who have had
to take reductions in their com.
pensstion atd 10 those who are out
OF work, as well as to those who are
fortunate enough to be employed.
Il holds the situation in deadlock.
except as it slowly and inevitably
gives way under the pressure Of
grim necessity.
These facts are evidences of a
principle running through all our
economic relations. They signify
that those relations are not de-
termined At last BY the mere
strength and bargaining power Of
the different elements in society, but
that there is normal balance and
relationship under which all groups
and classes prosper best together.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1921-05-04

wages, or the latter must come
down TO the level Of the farmer, or
they must meet on some ,intermedi-
ate level. The fundamental requisite
is that they get together.
Farm products and raw materials
are related TO world markets, and
there Is no reason TO believe that
they will recover former levels. All
the probabilities are against the
restoration Of war prices in time OF
peace.
The next thing is TO stop talking
in terms Of money only, when com.
pensation is concerned. The labor
leaders knew better than that when
the cost OF living was rising; why
not recognize that the purchasing
power OF money Is Of as much i'm
portanee when II is rising as when
Il is falling? And why not recog-
liize that the wages paid in every
industry are factor ntthe cost OF
living Of all the waee-earners'
Logically il Is correct 70 reduce
wages only as the cost OF living IS
reduced. but how long viii il take
under this deliberate method, with
everybody doing the Aiphonse and
Castor act to get industry back
into balance, and provide everybody
with work.
Meanwhile the economic law is
not waiting on anybody. II got to
work promptly, with the result that
wages have been reduced already!

TRE0LEGISLATURE
Special Session Was AID.
journed Late Yester-
day Afternoon

CHARLESTON, May .4.-(By AS.
ISOLATED Press The extraordinary
session Of the state Legislature,
called at the conclusion, OF the regu.
lar session Friday night, was ad-
luorned sine die late yesterday az
ternoon. The net result for the
last day was the budget bill, a house
bill to pay officersN attaches and
miscellaneous expense in connec.
ton with the extra session and an.
other house bill relating 10 taxes
on inheritance and to provide for
the apparisement OF estates subject
to such taxes.
/ An inheritance tax bill was en-
acted at'thesw lndup of the regular
session, but Governor Morgan threat
ened a veto unless there were
amendments made to overcome his
objections. In order to open, the way
for revision on this score the gov
ernor included tax matters in his
call for the extra session.
The original bill provided for the
! appointment OF an official an.
praiser at a salary not to exceed
$4,000, and for few other things
that the governor expressed his op.
position to. The amended bill, as
passed today, drops the appraiser
ship and provides that where the
county court fails to appoint an
appraiser within sixty days after
the death Of the person whose es-
ltate is subject to the inheritance
tax. the state tax commissioner
may appoint such appraiser, and
fix a reasonable compensation for
his service. Another change gives
the tax commissioner the right to
appeal from the decision Of the ap-
ipraiser.
The Inheritance tax rate is in
creased under the amended law and
the rate fixed by this state now
equals the average for the ten high.
est states in the union. Five sena.
tors voted no. on the roll call. They
were President Arnold, Boone, Bow
ers, Henshaw and shackelford.
A conference report was received
this morning on the budget bill
and 1t passed both houses and was
, made effective upon passage.
