WAGES AND THE NEW BASIS

Considerable argument and sage
advice is noticed eminating from the
bases from which Business, common
ly referred to as Big, puts forth its
influence, to give warning that before
the basis of constitution is proper
ly established wages must undergo
marked reduction. A recent piece of
this argument slipped to the press of
the country under the caption,
where the Obstruction Is" says:
"The decline in the prices of ag-
ricultural products and other raw
materials has effected a substantial
reduction in living costs. The high
cost of living of which the wage-earn-
ers now complain, is in their W
wage scales.
"This is the situation which every
body is side-stepping, while looking
hopefully from day to day for better
times.
For instance, the baker cannot
reduceSthe price of bread to cores
pond with the reduction in flour, be-
cause flour is only one item in his
costs. His labor, delivery costs, ma
chinery, coal, freight charges, sup
plies, ETC., which mainly represent
labor have not come down to cores
pond with wheat or -four.
"The building industry is marking
time, although the need for construc-
ton work is greater than ever before,
because The high costs are prohibi-
tive. If building should goson under
these conditions the costs would be

chargeable in the form of high rem
tails largely for labor to pay. Would
be builders doubt if they can obtair
such rentals and building is almost
at a standstill in consequence. Wage
rates in terms of money should have
a degree of hexibility, giving them
a relation to the selling value of pro-
ducts. High wage scales which pro-
hibit employment can only bring
business stagnation and hardship"
A great many people, besides the
laboring people, are ready to take is
sue with this doctrine that wages
must be low enough to make cheap
production and still yield a profit to
employers before we can have renew
ed prosperity. When we talk about
prosperity it is well to understand
who and how many are to become
prosperous.
Real, substantial, constructive
prosperity should reach to every eff
f~icient, honest, thrifty producer in
the country as well as to the investor
or capitalist. This mean that every
laborer, skilled and unskilled must
make a profit on his labor. Remem-
Der this refers to the Industrious and
the thrifty and the efficient, not the
dissipated and the spendthrifty.
Wages no doubt need equalizing
among the grades of workmen and
possibly are too high in some trades.
But there is no hurry about ~crowdiag
wages down until we are sure the
that is just and means the great
est degree of the broadcast prosperity
found.
Only when his labor yields him a
profit can the laborer contribute to
he real constructive prosperity of
he country by buying land, build
ng homes, educating the children,
md becoming of luxur-
as well as necessities, only then is
country truly prosperous.
Bare-living wages make cheap liv-
ng and low priced luxuries for the
prosperous to buy, but they do not
make general and lasting prosperity
hat will stand a period of depression,
nd do not produce a condition of
minimum unrest. Higher wages have
ONE to stay and should.

COMMISSION FORM
SIX CONSIDERATIONS

FIRST. Under Commission Form
a governing body of three is provid
ed for, a mayor and two councilmen
all elected at large by the whole city
While the law provides for compensa-
ton for members of the council un-
der the Commission Form, varying in
different classes of cities, it is rea-
sonable to expect that anyone willing
to serve on the council would be will
ling to serve under the present COM
p~ensation ordinance which would
mean a saving rather than an added
expense, on account of the smaller
number of councilmen.
SECOND. A city council of three
is naturally able to decide and act
with less delay and difficulty than
one of eve because of the time
necessarily consumed in considering
and satisfying each members .opin-
ion. The reduced number concen-
trates authority and responsibility
and demands efficient service in the
interests of the whole city. Our legis-
lature is engaged in trimming down
state and county boards in the inter
est of the economy the times de-
mand; the State Highway, for in
stance, is being cut from twelve
members to one. Counties, with far
more business and more difficult
problems than our city, are governed
by a board of three.
THIRD. Under Commission Form
each member of the council is under
a bond of 100000 to fulfill the
duties and enforce the laws and a
time may come when more strict en-
forcement of the laws may be re-
quired than is possible to secure un-
der the present political system.
FOURTH. One of the chief pur-
poses of the Commission Form is to
ELIMINATE POLITICS and parti-
sanship from seity government which
is often seriously hampered by fac
tons, cliques and bitterness growing
out of politics" without any one
"side" being all to blame. Such might
easily lead to serious embarrassment
and detriment to the city. Under
Commission Form there are no party
tickets and there is "a heavy penalty
for attempting to influence voters; i
it a matter of the candidates i
efficiency regardless of party or fac '
tion. /
FIFTH. 1t is of much Importance n
that Commission Form provides for i
the recall of officials so that ANY c
member of ANY council who proves
incompetent or unsatisfactory to the
voters could be recalled at any time
and another elected in his place at :
the same election.
SIXTH. There being no municipal
construction, or construction plans
underway at present, to be interfer ,
red with, and a city election being :
at hand, it is a favorable and :,
suitable time to effect the change in =
of government from the old :
'tyle to a form that has been found :
satisfactory and a real reform, in
very city where tried.

The first national cemetery was es-
tablished at Gettysburg TO make an
honored resting place for those who
on that great battlefield gave their
lives that the nation might live, and
then came the inspiration to make at
Arlington a cemetery that would be
national in its widest sense. To pro-
vide this final resting place for the ma
tion's dead, the government paid to the
heirs of Gen. Robert Il, Lees wife,
S150,000 for property which had been
assessed in 1860 at $4,000
The Arlington National cemetery
embraces AS acres and since its es-
adjustment the government has spared
no expense to make 1t the most beau
tiful and attractive city of the dead
upon which the sun shines. Over ST.
100000 have been thus expended in
landscape engineering to enhance the
natural beauty of the spot.
World Holds Nothing Like 1t.
The amphitheater is IL majestic ad-
most magnificent of cemeteries. There
Is nothing like it in the whole world.
Other nations have erected monuments
to successful generals, admirals and
statesmen. They have provided fam

the years to come. There will be flow
ers upon these graves this year.
Gradually the cemetery became de-
serted except for a few who fingered.
A group Of marines stood about the
grave of 4 comrade very dear. Its
marker was of stone and bore these
words: "A true soldier beloved of his
comrades" At one side lad stood
weeping and told us that his brother
fell beyond the German lines.

1t was just the loving kindness Of a

cemeteries at Suresness, Chalons

deepen our gratitude to them.

Only the slow chisel of time can

we debate hotly and surround with
words and eagerness and doubts and
disappOintments fades and IL forgot

our tongues and too obvious to be dis
cussed, Is left standing against the
horizon.
The beginning of some such revalua-

last year. In the commemOratiOn Of

loyalty.
A scene in France, In one of the
largest cemeteries in which American
soldiers are buried, is thus beautifully
described.
Scene Most Picturesque.
Beyond the wall masses Of purple
lilacs spread against the low red roofs
of the houses. In the distance 4 few
lazy clouds, in sky Of blue, hung about
the old cathedral spires. Bird calls
and scent of flowers filled the air. At
our feet low mounds and white
crosses. Above our heads, at half mast,
the Stars and Stripes.

spoke in French and explained to his
people the meaning of Memorial day.

and love.
Then we laid on every grave II spray

though year had passed.
