at the present time there wide difference of appear
ance IN these not only between the states but also
between the counties, with the result that the traveller
is confused msed at the when it is of the great
est Importance that he shall receive in the ceares aud
strongest the warning that it is intended shall
be conveyed to him.
Even worse is the confusion that results from the
multiplicity of road signs that primarily intended
Tor advertising, or other purpose of selfish benefit
The traveller urged to buy all sorts of things and
do all sorts of things of which directly
cd with the main purpose of his journeyng.
These signs would be bad enough if they were no
more than nuisance, but they actually danger.
In many they convey misinformaton They state
distances falsely. They praise poor hotels and
ants. They direct the unsuspecting public highway
struct the of travellers at dangerous turns and
crossings They spoil the choicest scenery with appeals
to buy all kinds of things, from automobiles to patent
medicines.
In the interests of public safety, and for the pro-
lection alike of Colorado residents and tourists from
other states, the next Colorado assembly should pass
law regulating highway signs, and providing not
merely for the Standardization road signs as sug
gesed by the federal bureau but also prohibiting the
erection of all other signs within certain distance Of
state highways Such law necessary for the safety
of the travelling public and it is also necessary to pre-
vent the pollution of public scenery.

Labor and Production

Many people to think that labor and produc-
tion are the ''Labor produces all wealth is
false statement frequently heard, and the fallacy of
that accountable for much Of the folly that
affects business disastrously
Labor may produce wealth. and it may not produce
any wealth, according 10 whether labor directed to
profitable TO Improbable end. Labor may pro-
duce much it may produce little and the amount of
its product depends apart from the element drec
tiou already referred to- upon the skill the intelligence
and the energy of the worker and also upon the quality
Of the tools machines with which he works.
These principles of the highest Importance in
the discussion of economic questions at the present time
Labor labor has claim to compensation or wages
apart from the fundamental principle that the economic
structure of every civilized community should be such
that every able bodied who is willing work should
be assured of the opportunity to living. But
since labor alone does produce wealth. labor alone
has economic value The only thing that is of
economic value is production, and labor is valuable
cording to what it produces.
Labor is worth much more than it fifty
years ago because labor produces much than it
did then and the products of labor today, because of
the increase in industrial efficiency all along the line
worth much than tho products of labor
q half century ago.
There is possible way in which labor
tinue TO he paid than labor is worth. IF labor
does produce something that can be sold for n
profit, unemployment is certain to result, and
employment will continue until increasing demand
lowered sets the wheels of industry in motion
In the time Of the World War, wages increased be
of the greatly increased demand for the products
of labor and because of the scarcity of labor due to the
Now the demand has ceased and the great
numbers of soldiers and workers have returned
peaceful industry. No at present knows what the
scales of the future will be, but thing is
tain, The compensation of labor will be proportionatc

Senator Borah of Idaho Senator LaFoettc of
Wisconsin and Senator Reed of Missouri are the three
prominent Americans who have the boldness to an
their opposition to the fournation Pacific peace
treaty.
Such their part will surprise one,
for there has been much in their past record to indicate
that they have neither regard for the opinion OF their
fellow countrymen the ability to the national
interest
One of these senator's is Democrat, two Of them
Republicans, but the qualities that distinguish them
from their fellow senator's and from their fellow citizens
matter of partisan politics. No party be
blamed for their presence in its ranks, but tho entire
nation regardless of states regrets that they are
senator's regardless of party regrets that they are

Urbana Architect to Tell the County Board That
He Can Erect What the County Needs
for That Sum of Money.
BUILDING COSTS ARE LOWER NOW
Joseph W. Roger Has Plans for Complete Building to
Cost When Finished Less Than S700,000-
Filben to Present Plan.

When the County Board of Kenosha
county meets at the court house on
Nov. 18th it will have before it a sug-
gestion for the building of new court
house. The suggestion will be laid be-
fore the board by Supervisor James
Filbin one of the practical builders of
the city and he is going to give his
support to the adoption of this or som
similar proposition.
The proposition offered by Super
visor Filbin is made by Joseph w.
Roger Of UrbaRa, H., widely known as
builder Of court houses and other
large government institutions. His
suggestion. is that the building to
meet every demand of Kenosha county
can be erected for 100000 and fur
nished for another $4,000. This is
several hundred dollars less than the
propositions which have been consid-
cred by the board in the past. It is
said that the reduction is due largely
to a reduction in building materials
rather than in a reduction Of labor
costs.
Shows County What Is Needed.
In a long communication to the
board, to be SUBMITTED by Supervisor
Filbin, Architect Roger has sought to
analyze the needs of Kenosha county
in the way of court house. His plan
provides the building of a court house
and Jail as separate buildings but his
suggestion as the cost is for the com
pletion of both Of the buildings. The
building he offers would be fire proof
of steel and stone and of a decidedly
ornamental design making the court
house one of the show places of this
section of Wisconsin. It would pro-
vide ample room for the housing of
the. offices of all public officials at the
present time and at the same time
make provision for the future growth
of the county. The suggestions which
have been made have been shown to
the county officials and the only change
that has been suggested is the addition
of Municipal court room and the adj
dition of rest room to be used by the
women jurors.
Makes Every Detail Modern.
The architect has not submitted any
sketches of the proposed building and
his uggestions are thus far embodied
in word pictures. These provide for
the most modern fire proof construc-
ton with provision for every modern
feature along sanitary lines. The
building as planned would provide suf-
fcient space for what is considered
the expansion of the county during the
next fifty years.
The exterior would be of stone with
granite base and steps and granite
trimming. The interior would be fin
ished in marble. tile and other similar
durable materials. The plan suggests
a ventilation system which would fur
nish an abundance of fresh air not only

LOSES TOES IN
QUEER ACCIDENT
Frank Claire a Simmons
Brakeman, Meets With
Painful Accident.
KICKS DOWN DRAWBAR

Trying to kick out the drawbar in
the coupling of two freight cars was
the cause of painful accident to
in the freight yards of the Simmons
Company just before three o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon, when his right foot
was caught in the coupling device and
badly mangled. He was hurried to the
Kenosha Hospital where it was found
necessary to amputate all Of the toes
on the foot with the exception of the
largest toe. He was resting easily
this morning and it is believed that
he will suffer no other i'll effects from
the accident.
Claire was working with the switch
ing crew of the company on the tracks
near the foundry. In switching two
freight cars, coupling failed to dis
connect and Claire kicked it with his
right foot to jar the draw bar loose.
Foreman Sees Accident.
The section foreman saw the acct
dent and saw that Claire's foot was
caught in the coupling device. He
gave the signal to stop the engine and
this prevented more serious injury.
AS it was Claire was badly bruised
from being buffetted about but did not
suffer any other serious injuries.
The nature of the accident led to
false reports regarding it to the effect
that man had both legs cut off when
he was run over by train and these
were cleared up this morning by an
investigation of the accident.
Claire will be confined to the hos
pitaf for several weeks and it is not
anticipated that he will regain good
use Of his foot for many months, if
ever. His home is at 70 Middle street.
