Voice of the People
Low WAGES AN ECONOMIC CRIME

Low AUAo A4N GSO1NOu1C ShlHAE "a
Editor, Kenosha Evening News:
SO many grave problems face the
people that it is difficult to point out
one that is paramount. But let US ask
the merchants and business mem who
read this to reason for a moment on
the question of labor and its pay.
We would assert without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that the policy of
arbitrarily forcing down the price of
labor is an economic error. Cheap La
Dor and low prices of farm produce go
hand in hand. The most prosperous
days this country has even seen were
at periods when labor was we'll paid
and abundant. The prosperity of labor
means the prosperity of the farmer and
producer. The cause of this is APP
parent, since production of every kind
is nothing more nor less than the pro-
duetion of wealth.
The man who labors with his tools,
the farmer who makes his soil produce,
are pouring wealth into the lap of the
nation. The moment the producers are
attacked, the stock of goods on the
merchants shelf, the money in the
bank, the lumber in the yard, and the
manufactured article in the factory
shrink in value. The demand for these
articles cease. Values slump when the
demand ends.
In our desperation we cry out against
well-paid labor and begin forcing it
down This is destroying " alth be-.
: I,If b,o-
base of wealth.
First we struck at the railroad en-
ployee. then at the textile worker, then
at common labor. We have broken the
chain, but we have destroyed our pros
perity. The factory wheels do not
turn. Labor walks the street. AS a
consequence, every merchant has upon
his shelves thousands of dollars worth
of unsold goods that are depfeciating
daily. What is the trouble?
Their best customers have nothing
with which to buy because they have
lost their jobs or have had their pay
reduced ITO such a low standard that
there is not enough for bare necessi-
ties. The merchant should be the last
man to advocate low-paid labor.
In fact, no business man and no good
citizen can afford to advocate such a
policy. 1t simply spells misery and
ruin, condition that always follows
periods of business stagnation like the
one through which we are passing.
Employment at>good wages should
be the slogan, because high wages mean
production and that means added and
increased wealth. Cleveland H. Smytk.

MAINE MAN AIDS
IN DESIGN 1921
CHRISTMAS SEAL

Just seven eighths of an inch
square and vet it is a picture that
tells a story more eloquent than some
of the most famous canvasses in the
Louvre.
Such is the Christmas Seal for 1921
which will be sold to the public be-
ginning Thanksgiving Day to raise
funds for the betterment of the gen.
eral health of the people.
The seal this year bears a message
of hope and cheer equally by that of
no previous campaign. The old
phrase Merry Christmas-Happy
New Year" has been changed to
Merry Enthusiastically New
Year" Back of this, of course is the
idea that if a healthy New Year is
experienced, a happy New Year is
bound to result.
But this is not the only story sug-
gested and told by the seal. A smil-
ing Santa Claus occupies one corner
inside the seals border. In the pro-
lection of his right arm is a girl and
in his left a boy while beneath him
is the double red cross, standing for
all that is big and noble and effective
in health work. Surely, no Santa
Claus could be bigger than the Red
Cross and no gift could be more ap-
preciated than the health and good
cheer that will result from the sale
of seals. If these are the days when
pictures tell the story, then the
Christmas Seal for 1921 tells one that
cannot fail to appeal and carry its
message in the most elective man
ner.
The design of the seal was sus-
gested by Walter D. Thurber of
Maine, Otto f. Bradley of Minnesota
and Jules Shevitz of Oklahoma. a
committee representing the public
health and anti-tuberculosis associa
tions of the United States.

FLAT FAILURE
Truth About Bolshe-
J vism Told by Jacob
H. Rubin
Eolshevism is a fiat failure.

Bolshevism is fiat failure.
Hundreds and thousands have sus-
pected it, but to Jacob H. Rubin is
the world indebted for telling the eX-
act truth about conditions in Russia
Russia from Within is the title
of lecture he will give in Augusta
on Saturday. July Is, the fourth day
Of the SWarthmore Chautauqua. 1t
promises to be not only one of the
most interesting, but also one of the
most illuminating and valuable adj
dresses ever delivered in Maine. Ev-
cry man and woman who values
the life of the American republic will
be interested in the message that Ru-
bin has to give.
Mr.. Rubin is Russian born, but he
came to America at the age of ten
years. In his family Russian was
spoken and he speaks it as easily as
he does English. In Milwaukee, MI.
Rubin rose to be prominent in the
ranks of Socialism. His speeches on
the philosophy of Carl Marx were
frequently quoted. He was q direct
or in the Union Bank of Milwaukee,
bank for trade union depositors. He
was director of the Provident Loan
Society. When the Bolshevik revolu-
ton took place in Russia, Mr.. Rubin
felt that at last the doctrines which
he had been preaching were being
put to test, and he went in October,
1919, on a business mission but with
strong prediction in favor Of So
Wet government.
Going to Odessa while South Rus
STA was under General Denikine he
was imprisoned and sentenced to
death. Saved from this by sheer
good luck, he had an opportunity to
leave the city when it was evacuat-
ed, but he preferred to stay and see
what Russia would be under Soviet
control. His prison companions be-
came the rulers of Odessa. In high
favor now, Mr.. Rubin secured man
dates to travel freely throughout the
country, which he did, finally arriv-
