lust What Constitutes
Lining Wage in I. S.
CFrom the wheeling 1ntelligencer).

orator, may even aspire TO labor
leadership and may dabble a little in
politics. How are we to differentiate
in living wage between the cigar
maker-orator and the simple cigar
maker? Just because he Is an or
ator, a labor leader or a politician,
does his living wage automatically
increase? And why? They are still
cigar makers, are they not?
As a matter OF pure common
sense. how can the Labor Board, or
any other board. determine a living
wage that can be just and reason
able and will ut TO the economic con-
ditions OF all parts OF the country
without the inequalities suggested
above? Such a board must arbi-
trarily set aside the standard Of
living for each and every particular
group of employees in all branches
OF industry. There could be no off
ference shown between the efficient
and the inefficient, the experienced
and the inexperienced. The living
wage would have to be made gen.
eral and individually indlscriminate.
No board could do otherwise.
The living wage idea Is as pre-
posterous as It is indefinite. When
there IS a standard family, residing
In a standard neighborhood, work
ing under standard conditions, eat
ing standard food, wearing standard
clothes. having q standard educa-
ion, tastes and ambition, and
a standard efficiency
hen, and only then, can there be a
standard living wage. But who has
he wisdom to determine such
standards? The Labor board dis
claims it forthwith.
Labor does not need to deal in
his country. Labor has only to
plead its cause in a business-like,
sensible way to get a hearing. The
living wage idea is neither.

We hear much talk of q living
wage. But we have yet to hear
what a living wage really is. The
Labor board calls II an abstraction,
phrase. and It is right. II is a
phrase calculated by labor to at
tract a sympathetic interest in the
the cause OF labor and in labor's de-
mands for higher wages.
The living wage idea may be all
right in theory. but as q practical
proposition it is an absurdity. Sam
uel Gompers could see this, II his
zeal and impulsiveness had not
dimmed his vision and common
sense.
Let us look at Il from the prae-
teal side, using Mr.. Gompers, him
self. as an example OF the average
man seeking a living wage. Mr..
Gompers was at one time cigar
maker. II he were employed IN
Tampa, Florida, Mr.. Gompers could
live probably much cheaper than II
he were employed in wheeling.
Florida has a warm climate, ana
there would be no large GOAL or gas
bills TO pay; rents might be cheaper
and cndNlons more adaptable TO
CHEAP living than in the Tri-state
district. What would be a living
ware IN Florida would not be a living
wage in Wheeling.
Suppose Mr.. Gompers were
bachelor and his brother were mar
rled and had Ave children. Both
were working side by side rolling
stogies in Wheeling. How would
definitely established living wage
affect the two men? Would the same
living wage for Mr.. Gompers, the
bachelor. be living wage for Mr.
the man with a family.
But we have Mr.. Gompers, the
cigar maker, as an orator. great
labor leader and a powerful poliu-'
clan. Any cigar maker may be an

This morning exactly one year
after the signing of her treaty with
England, southern Ireland is Free
State in the full feather OF power
and dignity. In her Independence Of
English rule she is as supreme as
Canada or Australia. She has a
Constitution agreeable to the Irish
and acceptable TO the English. Her
legislature will represent the ruling
element of the Dali Eireann, which
now ceases to exist; for the Chamber
of Deputies consists in the main OF
the Sim Fein followers of Collins
and Griffith, and the Senate which
will include men OF distinction like
william Butler Yeats and George
Russell, will be chosen by the best
minds of the Chamber. Even the
executive will be vested in a native,
London having paid 10 Ireland, in
the appointment OF Tim Healy as
Governor-General, compliment
never extended to Canada or Aus
tralia.
II has been a remarkable twelve
months for Ireland. No man could
have guessed. a year ago yesterday,
that after seven centuries OF conflict
group of Englishmen, half Tories
and a group of Irishmen, entirely
Sim Fein, could agree upon a plan
which seems to end forever the war
between the islands. Yet the treaty
passed both Parliaments unchanged
and the Constitution was as easily
approved on both sides OF st.

STAMPING OUT TUBERCULOSIS.

STAMPING OtI IbbhttOtLOoto
From the New York Herald.
In the death registration area Of
the United States $4,000 persons
died from tuberculosis in 1921. The
Department Of Commerce ststisti-
clans estimates from these figures
that IN the whole country 10000
individuals died from the disease.
Their estimate for 1920 put the
number of deaths from tuberculosis
at $4,000. The statistics indicate
a falling off OF $4,000 in the actual
number OF deaths from this disease
in 1921 as compared with 1920. This
in the face of the normal increase
in the population.
This reduction IN the actual num-
Der of deaths from tuberculosis Is
neither surprising nor mysterious.
Tuberculosis is a preventable as well
as a curable disease. II can be elm
mated from an important position
elimination can be accomplished by
enforcement OF a few simple and
easily applied regulations. Compli-
ance with these regulations can be
obtained by education.
In New York city. where the edu-
cation OF the public in prevention
and treatment of tuberculosis has
been highly intensive, the deaths
from it decreased from 6,165 IN
1920 to 5,143 in 1921. In the United
States the estimated death rate from
in 1905 was 200 to the
100000 population. According to
figures collected by the National
Association this had
been reduced for 1921 to 9O.7 TO the
100000. II should never go above
this; II II does its rise will be the
result OF inattention to we'll under
stood rules of sanitation, and SUCH
inattention should be made punish
able under the law.
Man has brought the Great white
Plague under control. II will be
mans fault If the disease is not ex-
tirpated as a cause Of common loss
and suffering.

stimulus to the passenger traffic.
A further stimulus Is expected to
be given by the reduction in the east
and west bound summer seasons
from six months to four. Summer Is
the period Of higher rates. Up to
and including the present year the
summer season has been from
March ! 70 August 81 eastbound
and from May TO October 81 west
bound. These have been changed so
as to run from April l to July 81 in
the former case and from July /
to October 81 IN the latter. The
shortening OF the higher fare season,
coupled with the reduction In the
fares themselves, ought naturally to
promote tourists travel, and that is
the calculation Of the steamship
companies. It must be admitted that
they are wise IN their generation.

Fun Develops Into Crit
ical Injury and Arrest
Follows.

Started as a friendly fun fest, an
alteration in which c. A. Besecker hit
Roy Connel over the head with a
shovel at Wilder last Thursday, pro-
misses to develop into something seri-
Gus for both parties involved. Mon
day Besecker was taken into custody
on a warrant sworn out by Clarence
Hill, prosecuting attorney, charging
him with assault with a weapon with
intent to commit bodily injury.
1t seems that the two men were
working on a highway near Wilder
when some incident arose which led
to considerable friendly bantering.
The fun finally irked Besecker and he
lost his temper long enough to hit
Conne1 over the head with shovel.
Shortly afterward, Besecker voluntar-
lily reported to a justice of the peace
at Wilder and was fined S. when he
related the incident
AT that time the affair was not re-
garded as being serious. Connel was
brought to Caldwell for medical treat
ment. At first it was believed that he
was not injured to greater degree
than that he had a black eye and a
scalp wound which was thought to
be superficial. Later Connel develop
ed hemmorhages of the ears and nose
and physicians now think it is possible
he has fractured skull.
In lieu of the seriousness of the
wounds, a warrant was sworn out for
Besecker and his arrest followed.
Bonds were placed at $500 which he
furnished.

are very good is the concensus oil
opinion of coach, captain and men.
There has been more enthusiasm for
the cinder path game this year than
has been displayed in the past, mainly
because of the popularity of Coach
Jim Jackson among the boys.
Jackson, however, is working under
a big handicap of having only two
men from last years team, Captain
Felix Dcus and Tom WEIGH. There
are however a few shining lights
among the material which is daily
practicing at the College of Idaho,
Paul Herder and Ernest Marshall es-
pecially showing up strong in early
season form. Altogether there are
about 40 men reporting for practice.
The interclass tournament scheedul-
ed for last Friday will be held the first
day of this week that the weather per-
mits. Unusual interest among the
student body has been shown in this
event and the rivalry between the
classes promises to be very keen.
Captains for the four class teams have
been elected as follows: Pete Kimm,
freshmen; Emerson Plat, sopho-
mores; Felix Dicus, juniors; and Wal
ter Field, seniors.
Two preliminary dual meets are
scheduled but definite dates have not
yet been decided. Nampa high school
will be one of these. The junction
city team is strong this year but not
as strong as last year, being handi-
capped by the loss of its big individual
star, Sanford, who has recently quit

tative schedule. The strength of the

are considered a dark horse in track

be both held before the southern Ida
