PROGRAM OF CONGRESS-

/ Desspoilment Of capitalistic and labor
profiteers and the elimanation of all
wastes is outlined as a part of the
work of the new congress by Represen-
tative Simeon d. Fess, chairman of the
National Republican Congressional
Committee. He says: ITO safely find
true course out Of our present situa-
ton. it will be necessary for us to re-
call the steps by whichwe have reached
it. In building the war machine, which
had to be done without delay, sound
business methods were abandoned and
economic wisdom was not consulted
We inflated the cost OF production
without efficiency in service. To in
vite the maximum product of labor, we
increase the wage scale for Government
work in shipyards. munition plants
cantonments aviation fields and all
Government work, We pushed up the
cost level by shortening the basic day,
allowing overtime with increased pay,
increased workers to the peice trans
portation allowances from home to
shop. and over $1,000. 900. 900 expendi-
ture for temporary housing. These
numerous items of increased cost all
indefinite gave occasion for the unfOr-
tunate cost-plus contract for all gov
ernment work.
THE inevitable profiteering both by
labor and capital invited by these steps
augmented the Government cost bill
which would be met either by taxation
or bonds or both. The government did
not discourage profiteering by the ex-
cess profits tax; on the other hand it
virtually said profiteer all you wish,
the greater the excess profit you make
the preater our income tax.
THE busines world has never wit
messed a like period of expenditure. No
people ever experincd such an orgy OF
personal as well as governmental ex-
erava gance. The Government borrowed
SEQ 900 900 900 and distributed it among
the people in the most lavish manner.
Prices advanced without increase of
value, The dealer had no concern
about his sales but rather his pur-
chases. Instead of keeping statesmen
on the road they had to be converted
into buyers. The result was less re-
gard for efficiency in service. and the
rule was soon established to increase
the cost and decrease the service. until
W reached the level where it would
cost three times to do the Government
work that was done before the war.
Whatever the form of our taxation
system will become, it must b. sippli-
fed so as TO insure our citizens against
uncertainties of assessments. II must
also be so drafted as to avoid penai-
izing business"

ROBBERY BY INTIMIDATION

Boston is strangled with labor union
radicalism which according to actual
statistics has reduced efficiency so
per cent since 1913 in spite of greatly
increased wages.
Labor saving machinery is prohio-
tied in the building trades. Spraying
machines for paint or whitewash IS
not permitted on union jobs and the
union prohibits the use Of n brush
more than AZ inches in width
Formerly a good mason could lay
5000 brick a day and wages were s4.00
In 1919 the wage went to s1.S5 an hour
or s1O.So a day for a limit OF 500 bricks
in addition to wages for helpers.
These are samples of union radicalism.
Americans want labor well paid but
they do not believe in robbery. Or
ganized holdups loafing on the Job
and deliberate restriction of output
to create more jobs will not be toler-
ated and 1t is no wonder the country
Is turning toward the open shop idea
as against closed shop radicalism.

MUSICAL
PROGRAM

The Study Club musical program at
the Methodist Church last Saturday
night was greeted by an audience
which comfortably filled the church.
As previously announced Madam Lille
Sang Collins. Musical Director for
Gooding College, accompanied by two
of her vocal pupils rendered a most
pleasing and instructive program. Per-
hans the most valuable part of the
program was a talk givenbyMadam
Collins in which she placed her musi-
cal ideas before her audience. She eX-
nla ned that good music was an up
lifting and moralizing element in the
home and that bad music was just as
depressing and demoralizing. Her
nlea was for good music in the home.
She defined good music as that which
anneals to. arouses and develops the
spiritual powers of the individual and
that had music was that which an
-eoio7 10 aroused and developed the
physical and animal powers. Good
,,'usic developes high moral charcter.
Bad music developes low moral STAN
dards with all the evil consequences of
the exercise of such. She deplored the
strong tendency of the times to the
practice of placing the vilest kinds of
ioy- and other forms of lewd music
before the public and in our homes and
apnca led to her audience TO join in the
contest to eliminate such music and
substitute the pure and uplifting. She
exnlai inpd that good music was not
necessarily difficult music. but that
its was more often the simple folk lore
music of the various nationalities.
She told how even the most difficult
of classical rousic was developed and
built upon the simple folk lore music !
as it's foundation. Mrs. Collins ad-
vanced the theory that the chief cause I
of iazz and other lewd music gaining |
so great headway in public favor due I
TO the fact that so few people had ever /
Given much thought to the difference |
between good and bad music Parents
who Guarded their children from evil
associates would often, through ignor
ance of it's musical character permit
the most baneful and pernicious music
TO enter their homes as readily as they
lid the music that was pure and whole
some She denounced such evil music
's more dangerous to the morality OF
The home than the most evil compan-
ons could be and appealed to her audi
,nce to enter an active self training
@ learn to distinguish between good
md evil music, as readily as they did
between good and evil associates

BRINGING PEOPLE WEST

Homeseekers are again headed west
due to special homeseelSer's rates on
railroad. These are the first low fares
for settlers to be offered in four years
and they are different from the custom
pursued in the old days, when only
one-way rates were in vogue. Stop
overs are allowed at all points and
prospective homeseeker has every OPP
portunty to view the country.
The Union Pacific system Is making
a special effort to bring settlers west.
Fares are uniform on all lines reaching
the territory. The railroads are slow
~ picking up the threads of broken
traffic arrangements which formerly
encourag people TO travel.
