monopoly is maintained.
Mr.. Record points out that govern
ment ownership of railroads would
defeat this system. The people
should be compelled as common car
rierS to provide an adequate supply
Of refrigerator cars, and it might not
be amiSS to prohibit the use of phi
vate cars,
The right of the rails to the Meat
Trust, to the Pullman Company and
others, means that these monopolies
get the benefits of public service cor
porationS, without restrictions or reg
ulation. They enjoy franchises which
never have been granted them. The
subletting of franchise puts the pub
ic in jeopardy.
As fact, passing the right of way
by the railroads is perhaps greater
public menace than passing the buck

should be compelled to supply refrig.

But whether you agree with Mr.
Record or not, his article in another

worth reading.

The Profiteering See Saw.

Now We hail the period of pros
periV. Analysis of the boom dis
closees that wages rise rapidly,
sometimes to incredible heights, but
that the cost of living rises still more
rapidly, and to still more incredible
heights. Soon we strike the reaction,
the period of depression, and then
We find that wages fall rapidly, but
that food prices simply stumble,
They never drop with the thud of
the workers wages.
From March to April of this year,
for example, we learn that the aver
age weekly earning of New York
State factory workers declined AZ
cents. This is a reduction of S205
from April, 1921, and reduction Of
S4.7S from October, 1920, which
marked the peak of earning, As
against these figures the United
States Bureau OF Labor Statistics
shows that the cost of living declined
only 4 per cent between December,
1921, and March, 1922, in the coun-
try as a whole.
True, since June, 1920, there has
been a drop of 2 per cent, but despite
this the cost of living remained 81
per cent above 1918 in March of this
year,
The retail cost of food did not
change at all from March to April,
either in the country as a whole or
in the leading cities of the great En-
pire State.
Surely our political economists
can find a lesson in such figures.
When We poke under the public nose
such evidence of outrageous profit
eering, plus bungling and faulty tax
alton, we create a condition that is

creased What is more-and this is
impouant-in not a few cases the
debt limits Of municipalities has
been reached.
Every moorist desires good roads,
and kicks If he does not have them.
Il is realized more and more that
poor roads mean larger tire costs,
bigger repair bills, excessive gaSo-
line needs mad more rapid deprecia-
ton on the car.
The motoriSt might just as we'll
paw for better roads as to stand high
er costs elsewhere. If the higher
license fee goes to make roads bet
ter. the motonSt will gain in the end.
He is being educated to this fact.
The head of large company says
that it costs, depreciation included,
about $4,000 per annum to operate a
large truck. This includes gasoline,
the driver and all such expenses, The
company pays a license fee of only
$50 per truck.
Better roads easily could save
twice this fee in maintenance and
in addition enable the truck to ac-
compliSh more work. He states that
he would be perfectly willing to pay
two or three times as large tax on
his trucks because it would be an
economy to do it for the sake of bet
ter roads.
Heavy trucks wear out hundreds
of thousands of dollars more in roads
than they pay in license fees. If
they cannot afford to pay larger tax
es, they cannot afford to compete
with the railroads, and the traffic
ought to go back where it came from.
As matter of fact, under present
conditions, the public is taxed and
riders in lighter passenger cars are
penalized and jounced for the sake
of making possible a little cheaper
motor truck transportation.
Good roads are not expensive to
motorists--they are economy. The
poor roads are what cost the money,
1t will pay ten million automobile
owners in this country to look be-
yond their noses in this matter
that is, beyond the sophistries OF
subsidized associations.
The man who advocates higher Ii.
cense fees to maintain and improve
highways is not an enemy of the au.
tomobile owner. He is his best
| friend.-BoSton Commercial, July
is, 1922.
1t might be added that every citi
zen who does not own an automobile
is also vitality interested in the roaC
question as permanent road construc
tion and maintenance will play ar
important part in future tax bills

Hard Work Does 1t.

In June, 1914, the only country on
earth whose credit was worth 100
cents on the dollar was the United
States of America. Its bonds were
the only national securities that
could be sold at par. Today, eight
years later, the only country on earth
whose credit is worth 100 cents on
the dollar is the United States of
America.
No need to look far for the reason
for this. The United States is the
only country whose people have not
devoted themselves to politics to the
exclusion of other lines of human
endeavor. Whatever it has done, it
has avoided socialistic experiments,
that tend to substitute "be it enact
ed" for downright hard work. Its
prosperity is based on the solid foun-
dation Of constructive employed hu-
man effort.
This country has had its politics,
in great plenty, during the last eight
years, but through it all has managed
to give its principal attention to 9TH
er affairs. True, also, the war touch
ed us rather lighter in one way than
il did the others, but we did accumu-
late a debt Of more than S26,000,-
100000 in addition to matter Of
twenty-odd billions paid in actual
cash and in l00-cent dollars, so that
in the matter of money the last eight
years has been as expensive to the
United States as to any country on
earth.
The moral to this, if it has any
moral, is that success, either for a
nation or an individual, requires
steady application to some useful
pursuit. When the rest Of the world
gets ready to work as hard as it talks,
it will share in the prosperity that
has come to the United States

Bust the Beef Trust Mon
OpOly.

George L. Record, star of the Chi
cago convention when Roosevelt
headed the Bull Moose movement,
now comes to the foreground in New
Jersey, swinging his axe right and
left at the Beef Barons, mercilessly
exposing their system Of control.
The facts are so potent that fair
ness demands steps be taken imme-
diately to put an end to the abuse
which spells nothing but control Of
prices, the ability to extort from the
people the heavy tithe they must pay
nowadays for the privilege Of living.
Fortunately Mr. Record does not
stop at exposing the system. He
points the way to relief.
The railroads have few or no
refrigerator cars to carry meat or
perishable products. The Big Five
comprising the meat monopoly have
their private refrigerator cars. Small
competitors are thus placed in an
impossible position. They must eth
er put cars of their own on the roads
or hire cars-if they can get them
from the Beef Trust.
II a little fellow puts his own cars
on the roads, says Mr.. Record, there
is always some obliging railroad Off
cial ready to sidetrack or divert them
until the ice melts and the food
reaches an unmarketab1e condition.
Ii does not take many operations Of
this kind to put the average small

Paying for Good Roads.

Every so often newspaper editors
find on their desks publicity from
some automobile association protest
ing against any higher license fees
on motor vehicles. The arguments
usually are carefully prepared and
forcibly presented.
Automobile associations all over
the land appear to be opposed to
taxing the industry more because it
is taxed so much already and in so
many ways.
1t pays all the taxes any other in
dustry pays and the license fees in
addition. Of course, big business
like the motor industry pays enor-
nous taxes.
But the product Of this business
causes other taxes to be high. Auto
mobiles, especially larger cars and
heavy trucks, wear out great deal
of road. 1t is only fair that they
should pay, largely through license
fees for the road which they wear
out. Those best qualified to know,
state they are not doing SO.
At any rate, anyone who goes a
little way off the main avenue OF
motor travel knows that the condi-
ton OF side roads is worse than a
few years ago. The side roads and
side streets have had to be neglected
so as to maintain the principal chan.
nels of traffic. There has not beer
enough money to 60 around.
Practically all the motor fees have
been used to maintain roads, and ir
addition the other taxes OF most mu
inequalities and states have been in

poor layers, and belong rightly to the
beef class.
In yellow-skinned breeds the same pig

their yellow color also cOlors the yolk

When she quits laying the color returns

Hence the presence or absence of color
gives the skilled poultryman an indica-
tion of whether or not each hen is lay
ing. Lack of color may be produced by
sickness, or lack of yellow corn and
green feed. Good Judgment does not Gull
on color alone.

Playing Politics With the
Industrial Problem.

That there are political motives
behind some of the important moves
being made in the industrial field by
cerain so-called labor leaders who
hsbitually think in terms of politics,
is undoubtedly true. 1t is not entirely
an accident that there is an attempt
ed tie up of induSy at this particular
time, in the middle of the Harding
administration, with election day ap-
preaching, and with revival of in
dusuy in evidence which, if permit
ted TO continue without interruption,
would interfere seriously with the
opposnon'S prospects of success.
The leaders conspicuous in the at
tempted industrial tie-up are now
and have long been committed to the
task of discrediting the Harding ad-
ministration, Their publications have
reeked with abuse of the President,
of Congress and the federal courts,
These leaders are enlisted in the
cause of government ownership OF
mines and railways and ultimate
state socialism. Their maneuvers
must be interpreted with this in
mind, Whatever they can do to Grip
pie and handicap private business
enterprises and to embarraSs and dis
credit the Harding administration
these leaders believe will help along
the cause in which they are most in
tereSted.
Hence the no compromise" mo
arbitration attitude of these politi-
clans posing as labor leaders. A
peaceful settlement of the trouble
would not be to their liking. They
are ready to tie the country in a bow
knot and starve and freeze the peo-
pie Of this country in order to i'm
prove the campaign prospects of the
men and things they stand for in pol
itics.
There is reason to believe that
these politicians do not correctly
guage the temper of the American
people. When ten or twenty per
cent of the American people declare
war on the remaining eighty or nine
ty PER cent, the outcome is not sure
to be that the tail will wag the dog.
There is a growing impatience in this
country with the subordination of in
dustrial to political ends by misft la
Dor leaders of a certain arbitrary and
ambitious type. Instead of beating
the administration and the American
people into submission they may find
the situation reversed before the
trouble they have started and are
egging on is over.
President Harding and the nation
al administration are not partisans
of either side in the contention. The
President has sought to induce both
sides to submit their cause to tribu-
mails representative of the govern
ment and of the whole people. Fail
ing in this he will do his sworn duty
by protecting the public in its rights.
If thre are those who do not intend
to mine coal or run trains until they
have imposed their will on the pub
lie, let them step aside and permit
others to do the work, if they can be
found. These others must and will
be protected in their right to work
by state and federal governments
The issue involved is fundamental
The duty of the government is clear
and there will be no lodging Of duty

Since hens begin molting when they
stop laying, the late molters are likely
to be the best layers. The later the
hen lays the greater has been her egg
production and the later she molts. Poor
layers will have more new wing primary
feathers in July and August than the
good layers.

HOW TO GULL

Poultrymen must continue keeping at
loss low producing hens, or Gull their
feok either by trapnest or external char
aeteristies. A hens ability to produce
proftably is indicated by her vigor,
shape of body, temperament, color Of
skin, width of back, depth and pliability
of abdomen, and time of year for molt-
ing. (ExtensiOn Bulletin SAT, Sugges-

Culling for good layers begins with Sc
lection of good eggs for Matching; chicks
are culled when first hatched, and again
when transferred to brooder; whenever
weak or runty chicks are discovered
they are culled out; and pullets that are
