Had the leaders of the shopmen
recognized that economic laws must
ultimately govern there would have
been no shopmen's strike this year."
said w. B. Storey, president of the
Santa Fe, in his address at the Patrick
Walsh dinner. in Topeka last week.
In that one sentence is imbedded the
kernel of a great truth, which is that
economic laws must ultimately gov
ern. There is no other way. Every
experiment inaugurated. that has ig-
nored this fact has failed or is doomed
to failure.
The economic law is that wages
cannot be maintained continuously on
a scale greater than is justified by
the earning power of the worker. Any
violation of this law, sooner or later,
reacts on the wage earper and his
last estate becomes worse than his
first.
Following his declaration that the
shopmen' s7strike on the Santa Fe is at
an end, President Storey reviewed the
history of previous strikes on the road,
calling attention to the fact that every
one has failed. That these strikes
have been ineffective in the way of
seriously harming the companys bust
ness is proven by the fact that the
Santa Fe today is one of the greatest
and most prosperous railway systems
in the country. Had 1t been unfair
or oppressive in its dealings with its
employees 1t could not have succeeded
SO well.
President Storey's expression of a
willingness to submit all labor dis
putes to the railroad labor board
! should find an echo in every organiza-
! ton of railroad workers. Altho the
Santa Fe has proven it's ability to win
strikes, its president would avoid the
great cost to the road, to it's employees
and to the public, of these disturb
ances.

When son of theirs comes home, as ours,

Frequently it has been said that

fact that the men whS compose the
corporations are intensely human was
exemplified at the gathering of Santa

so fine a tribute to long and faithful

Bobby said Ned liked them, luscious
fruit in season and out and delicacies
such as Bobby had never before
dreamed of.
It's funny what you can get for
quarter" Bobby often used to say.
Med says he doesn't understand. He
said there was something funny about
! it, and he's acted dreadfully funny,
just as if he thought you oughtn't to
help me So much. Don't you suppose
you could stay to dinner some time
! and explain that you really get the
things for what I give you? He comes
in just after you leave. Couldn't you
wait and tell him ?"
"Oh, dear no." assured Helen. You
see. I'm just your big sister, Bobby,
and-well, you brother mightn't like
me as much as you do
Maybe not" sighed Bobby.
But for some reason or another Ned
came home half hour earlier than
usual that night and discovered the
radiant Helen still mixing drop cakes
in the tiny. kitchen. She and Bobby
| had given the house a good cleaning
| that day and she had left a bunch of
| daffodils on the living room table and
had hung fresh muslin curtains at the
! windows.
| Explanations did not take long, nor
were elaborate ones needed, for when
| Ned's steady gray eyes looked into the
| depths of Helen's blue ones explana-
| tlOnS IN words did not seem necessary
! Helen's seemed to say, "I admire ayou

-go on studying under such difficult

done for Bobbys sake-please don't
| thank me-" And Neds eyes said: y
| shall not protest, because 1 know you
have done what you have done from
| the goodness of a kind heart
AS a matters of fact Helen said
I'm Bobby's big sister" and Ned said
| Lucky boy"
Helen stayed for supper and left as
soon as she and Ned and Bobby had
washed the dishes , and tidied the
kitchen. She definitely refused Ned's
escortage home. Somehow after that
on the nights when Helen came she
was always a little delayed in her de
parture or Ned managed to come il
a little early. And she would stay tC
supper on the excuse that she wanted
to help with the. dishes

The project of building a big power

next six years more than 900 billion
dollars would be expended in additional

that the possibilities of electrical de-
velopment are unlimited and that
eight million homes in the United

while half of that number more will
be wired within the next few years.

The soviet government of Russia
now has endured for a period of five
years to the confusion of all the politi-
cal doctors. No longer do any of
these predict how long the diseased
patient will continue to live. The
malady from which she is suffering
continues to make progress but the
end is deferred owing to the fact that
she is possessed of a strong constitu-
tion. Almost any other nation would
have succumbed long ago. The only
evidence of approaching dissolution
in the case of Russia has been the

From washington, it is announced
that the administration during the
short session. will push, a resolution
for another constitutional amendment
prohibiting the issuance Of tax-e&-
empt securities. There is no reason
for anybody TO worry over the pos
sib!e action of congress on this mat
ter II the resolution go thru, sew
eral years would be required to get the
amendment thru the legislatures of
the requisite thirty-six states. There
IS a strong probability that a suffi-
cient number could not be mustered
in it's support. But If it finally should
be adopted, it would not make the
slightest difference to the taxpayer
or anybody else. Everybody, then
would pay in the form of increased
interest what he now pays in the
shape Of taxes. However, many poll
ticians seem to regard the tax-exemp-
tion proposal as good campaign ma
terial, so an effort to interest the
voter in it may reasonably be ex-
pected.
