A Word About Wages
This Company largest item of expenditure is
for wages; it constitutes about two-hirds of the
total expense of the business. Our aim is to pay
employees wage that will keep them loyal to
their task and Jealous in their efforts to furnish
service that will satisfy patrons.
In system such ours, where the service is
largely personal service, attempt to keep to
the lowest possible point the wages paid the
ployees who furnish this service may be false
omy, because to give good service there must be
high morale, loyalty and enthusiasm.
During the period following the World War; it
this Company's policy to advance wages only
to such levels expected to be able to main
tain This policy has been amply justified by the
results We have a permanent force
working efficiently than ever before which
has resulted in substantial economies for the bene-
fit of our patrons.
In 1918 the Company had employee for
every 81 telephones; we have employee
for every 40 telephones. While there has been
2O9o increase in the number of telephones there
has been slight decrease in the number of en-
ployees. Thus, with smaller number of en-
ployees than in 1918, furnishing service to
greatly increased number of patrons.
This increase in the efficiency of our EMPLOYEES
has also resulted in greatly improved service to
the public, and our records show that at no time in
the history of the Company has the service we are
furnishing been better than at present.

Former Vice President Marshall served the aver

dressed the members of the English Speaking Union
at London What he said will bear repetition In
plain "Hoosier' talk he phrased the thought of de-
cent, sef-respected everyday American citizens OF
whom he is distinguished type.
Mr.. Marshall declared that there could be no real
understanding harmony between the two great
English-speaking nations while fat SNUG American
Hprofeers, pretending represent the United States,
come to London to cut a swath and cynical self-suffi-
cent English visitors to America to criticize the
provincial characteristics of the American public"
That sounds like Tom Marshall And it is what
all worth while Americans think.

James is said be bedeviled beyond endurance by
the applications of this of folk for tickets

Ambassador Harvey has a dozen tickets to

nothing to commend them to such courtesy but their

REGRET is GENERAL.

Alaskans and friends of the Territory will regret
sincerely inability President Harding to
out his announced plan of visiting Alaska this sum-
mer But the formal cancellation his trip did not
come a surprise for it has been more and more ap
parent in weeks that the press of business in
Washington instead of growing lighter has been in
tensfed as Congress delayed action the most i'm
porant introduced since the beginning of
the session The determination of Republican leaders
in Congress to pass a bonus and the Presi-
dents nsistence for ship subsidy act made it clear
that an early adjournment something almost i'm
possible Inasmuch it realized that the Presi-
dent could not absent himself for any considerable
period with Congress in session Alaskans generally
had taken the postponement of his visit here a
matter of fact prior to the formal announcement
The sudden decision of Secretary Fall to delay
his Alaska trip however is surprise 1t had been
taken matter of that it would be held up
pending definite decision to the Presidents visit
and when the later cancelled, it felt that
Mr. Fall would be able hasten his departure from
Washington for the North
With important Alaska legislation still pending in
Congress, action which is said to have been halted
until after the visits of the President and his Secre-
tary of Interior a comprehensive survey the Ter
ritory and conditions by both is generally to be
desired Either this legislation will be enacted with
out such personal surveys and contacts the admin
istratons Alaska policy will be delayed for least
another year. Alaska loses much by these post
ponements.
! 4nssview of the agitation that has arisen over
Alaskan matters it is to be hoped that both the
President and other members of his official family
will be able to North next year Congress will
have cleaned up its big tasks and there should be
plenty of time for them to make thorough inspection
OF local conditions, to get real conception of Alaska 8
problems and their diversity.

ALLEN MAY RUN FOR GOVERNOR.

J. Wesley Allen, Attorney General of Massachu-

ton that he may seek the Republican nomination for
Governor. Mr.. Allen said that he has always main
tanned that the position of Attorney General should
not be held too long by any one He is of the
opinion that all of the important work in sight has
been done will be completed before he concludes
his term.
Mr.. Allen came into national notice through sew
eral matters investigated by his office and through
successful prosecutions nationwide importance
Among these illegal ad, ertsng by brokers, the
silver stocks cases, the investigation of Ponz the
German marks case the Old Colony foreign exchange
case and the Christian Science litigation. The most
recent OF his cases and one of the most prominent

counter claims of Germany against the United States
Before any of such claims be taken up for pay
ment out of any funds whatsoever, commission or
tribunal will have to be created with Congressional
sanction to adjudcate these claims, which will take
considerable time and added that he hoped the

claims will proceed rapidly and not follow the usual
such questions growing out of previous

A Necessary ReappOintment.
New York Evening Post. J

Although it names, there can be no
doubt of the specific purpose of the resolution n
imously adopted by the Chambers of Commerce of
this State urging upon President Harding the impor-
Itance of preserving continuity in the service of
deserving members of the Federal Reserve Board
FIN three words, the resolution means. "Reappoint
Gov. Harding The only objection to this obviously
proper reappontment comes from Republicans who
put party first. No attack has been made upon Gov.
'Hardings record, for the simple that is
possible With air of great innocence however,

capable Democrat: The reply is that if a
capable Republican instead of capable Democrat

of the ticket he votes would be give notice
that the headship of the Federal Reserve Board is
spoils of office This would be in contradiction not
only of sound policy but also of President Hardngs
course upon becoming President when he refused to

Of Gov Harding should be placed beyond any uncer-
