OLE HANSON IN EUROPE.

Ole Hanson, who became famous in
A day as mayor of Seattle when he
exhibited courage to deal with per
picking problem and put down an in
cipient rebellion before it was hardly
started, visited Europe recently to
make a closeup observation of condi-
tons over there. He was in England,
Belgium, Germany and other countries
and writes first OF his impressions Of
what lie saw and learned in England
from observation and inquiry. The
people generally will believe that what
Mr.. Hanson says is the truth as it APP
pears to him. Other writer's equally
honest and obseryant might not agree
with his general conclusions, as men
cannot see things the same and honest
eye witnesses often disagree over mat
ters Of fact.
Here are some extracts from re-
cent article hy Mr.. Hanson which ought
to induce our people to do some hard
thinking and which ought to convince
those who are not already convinced
that taken all in all the workingman
and his family are better off in the
United States than in any other coun-
try in the world today. He says:
II have found the truth and propose
to tell it. ! have come to the conclu-
sion. based on careful investigation:
That the British worker receives
about 40 per cent of the wages paid
for similar occupations in the United
States.
THAT the British workwoman re-
ceivcs from 20 to 30 per cent of the
wages her sister gets in the United
States.
"That restricted production prevails
| in practically all industries except
where pay is proportional to output or
where the workers are harnessed to ma
chimes.
THAT the coal miner is the aristocrat
Of British labor.
That not one in 500 of British work
people own their homes.
'.That good times in England are
worse than dad tines in the United
States.
"That unemployment is considered
more or less normal.
THAT the cost of living is fully as
high as in the United States.
THAT decent work people in England
live in novels not as good as our stables
THAT the standard CT living is less
than 30 per cent of our American stan
dard and that despite the fact that
whole families work, even when fully
employed. father, mother and two chill
dren earn very much less and have
very much less than the father alone
can provide in our blessed country.
despite the wonderful organiza tons
lof labor, despite government which is
going the full distance to alleviate con-
ditions, things are growing worse very
fast. unemployment is increasing, pow
crty and absolute want are everywhere
in evidence. 1t is the same in Sheffield
as in Manchester, in birmingham as in
Liverpool. in the country as well as in
the city. There are not enough jobs TO
20 around. and workers slack in the he
lief that if they did full days work
they would do" their mate out of
work.
Some blame the government, thou

According to telegraphic reports tc
the Des Moines Register the farmers OF
tie state are selling grain and stock
quite freely, even if prices are below
cost of production. Probably many of
them have to sell and some are selling
because Of fear that prices will &c
lower.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Siblcy Tribune: The governors adj
dress reads we'll and closes with a
verse. 1t is full of fine sentiments ex-
pressed in good English, but it doesn't
tackle his job with the determined
vlgor to get results that has character
lied the initial utterances of state exc
cutives who have won distinction for
reform administration.
Dcs Moines Capital: President
Harding will be entitled to name his
own cabinet He will know what he
wants. He knows Johnson and, Borah
well enough to understand that he
could not satisfy them by any selection
he could make. If they were to name
his entire cabinet they would after
ward find fault with it. President
Harding will have to throw these two
senators into the discard early in his
term.
Waterloo rimes-Tribune And it
won't be a bad thing to redistrict the
state-in fact, it will be good thing.
Most Iowa people would like to see
some new material from this state in
Washington We need stronger men.
Maybe they will appear in contest with
present representatives when nominal
lions are made after new districts are
created.
Dcs MOncs Register: Whether
prices have been marked down or not
there certainly has been great multi
lation of price cards.
Humboldt Republican: President
elect Harding is using the proper
methods of selecting cabinet. Criti-
cism is not stopped by hasty action.
IF anything, it is extended. There
would be more criticism of Mr.. Hard
ing if lie were to select his cabinet
without consulting national interests
than there can be after all sides have
been heard.
Davenport Democrat: If Iowa loses
one congressman lot of IOwans will
have'a chance to vote for the three that
California will gain-sO it's about an
even break after all.
Washington Democrat: Henry Wal
lace, publisher of Wallace's Farmer, is
getting Endorsements for the job of sec
rotary of agriculture all over the coun-
try in spite of the alleged packers wild
opposition. The live stock men passed
a resolution favoring him in Texas
recently only after bitter fight with
men who were supposed to represent
the packing interests. Mr.. Wallace
may have some peculiar ideas on mar
keting and distributing, but he is a
"Girt farmer" and would creditabiy
represent Iowa and the nation in Hard
ing's cabinet.
What Cheer Patriot: The repubi-
can party must revise the primary
law. We want a law so that the man
who gets the most votes is the nOmi-
nee Kendall did not get majority
of the votes, yet he got the Office of
governor. 1t was according to law and
n 10 -
stands. But the people want the law
changed, so the majority man gets the
place and the republican legislature is
amended or the people will take those
who fail to carry out their pledges to
task.

Eat more prlnes. Eat 'em boiled,
fried and pied. Eat 'em daily, and
twice Oh Sunday. Pruncs are health
full. Three quarters of the crop grown
around here are unsold.-POrtland
OregOnian.
People would eat more prunes If
prices were not so high. Perhaps the
growers out in Oregon do not get very
well paid for the fruit, but by the time
il reaches the consumer it is quite
expensive. If prrlnes were sold cheap
~ there would be no complaint that
three -fourths of the crop are unsold.'
