THE LIVING WAGE
FOR FARMERS

There is much talk now among
railroad men, miners and other
organized workers about the liv-
ing wage.
1t is an appealing phrase for
the reason that men generally
recognize it's justice. Opinions
may differ as to what constitutes
a living wage, and it is inevitable
perhaps, that there should be
disputes now and then between
the man who works and the man
who pays-but few persons have
the hardihood to deny the labor
er's right to a decent home, with
sufficient food for himself and
his family, education for his
children, and a bit left over to
the prudent for rainy dav. The
standard of income, it should be
remembered, is not alone the right
of the organized industrial work
er. 1t is the right of every work
er. The farmer is entitled to it.
He should and does insist upon
it, and he should be willing to
concede it, not only to the city
laborers, but to those who help
him in his farming operations,
whether hired hands or members
of his own family. Those who
will not pay the living wage can
not themselves expect to receive
it. This was made clear last year
when farmers producing low-pric-
ed crops under high cost condi-
tions, were unable to keep the
factories running. and the city
worker found himself out of a
job. The farmer did not get a
living wage, and things went
wrong. The business world learn
ed its lesson and neither the bus
iness world or the farmer should
forget that lesson now when wage
disputes are rife. 1t Is good
time to remember the Golden
Rule. It's practical application
is easy, even though it may
seem to be difficult. Every work
er should have a living wage,
whether he Is employed in city or
country. The workers who as a
class are a drag upon the country,
and menace. The men who get
more than a living wage are TAX
ing their surplus out of the poe
kets of some other class.
The funeral of the late Mrs.
Joseph Hollenbeck was held on
Tuesday last at the brick church
in Valley Centre. Mrs. Hollenbeck
died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. George Ross at Armada. For
the past thirty years she had liv-
ed in and around Valley Centre
She was a kind and loving mother
and a good neighbor and will be
greatly missed by all who knew
her.
The Independent Sugar com
pany at Marine City, owned and
operated by the Messrs. Handy
Bros, at Bay City, was adjudged
bankrupt in the federal court at
Detroit last Saturday. No state
ment as to the assets and liabili-
ties are available. This action
probably means that the farmers
will get considerably less than
100 cents on the dollar for last
years crop of beets. which has
not yet been paid for.
