Values of Competition

WESTERN STATES, counties, cities and school
w districts should adopt uniform, policies of let
ting public work, purchasing supplies and publicly
owned equipment to the lowest responsible bidder.
Too many official bodies are arrogating to them
selves the right to deal directly with dealers, with
material and machinery men, and erecting public
buildings and doing public work without bids.
Take this instance reported recently from Wash
ington:
Cowlitz county, Washington purchased two Yuba
tractors paying therefor $5,615 for 40 horsepower
tractors while either the Holt Western, lotion or
the G. L. Best 69horsepower specially constructed
steel, designed for road work, was Offered the coun-
ty for several hundred dollars less. 1t is also stated
in the press that the same firm that sold the trac-
tors for $5,615.00 to the county submitted a bid to
the U. S. government on the same tractors at 1890,
a difference of $1,S25 the same week. The people
of CowEtz no doubt will want to know if their
money is not just as good as that of the govern
ment, and why bids were not teen.
Readers will say away or there in Washington

pie want and if We hear of anything of the sort we

The Illinois Butchery

SGTHE EYES of this country are conferred upon
IL southern Illinois, says the New York Herald.
"One reason is that one of our great states,
one of those states in which the traditions of order
and honor and power of law should be of the strong.
est, remained supine in a critical and tragic hour.
"A seconC reason is that the right of every man
TO work-a right as sacred as every mans right to
quit working-has been stamped on in the bloody
mud of the mining field.
But the deepest reason of an is the horrible me-
ture of the crime, the revelation of the brutality Of
which the human race is still capable.
1t is useless to turn back to the records of the
riots of Chicago or East st. Louis or Omaha for a
parallel to what happened ut Herrin- Red as those
pages were, we find in them at least the slight ex-
cuse of conflict.
"The affair at Herrin was a massacre, done not
merely with elaboration but with hideous pleas
"There is nothing in the history OF the United
States to compare with the savagery of the mob
that turned the surrendered strikebreakers loose
only to shoot them down; that cut their threats as
they lay wounded; that cursed them as they were
dying in the hospitals; that killed women and
babies, and that brought the children into the NOR
que to 'take a look, kid, at what your father did"
Not even the massacre at Fort Pillow, the dark
est chapter in the story of the civil war, can match
the details of the Illinois horror.
" 1T was Just the cid story of a mob getting
started one of the union miners explained. What
started it? Was it the telegram from President
John i. Lewis of the United Mine Workers in which
he declared that representatives of our organiza-
ton are justified in treating this crowd (the strike
breakers) as an outlaw organization and in view
ing its members in the same light as they would
view any other common strikebreakers?
NO attack on the mine occurred until Lewis tele-
gram was received by the local union. But surely
Lewis did not mean that the men he so advised
should plunge into the worst orgy of l~ynching that
this country has seen. True, there was not a word
in his telegram advising the keeping of the peace,
but he may not have considered it necessary.
@Whoever started the slaughter, it is a black
hour for the union. miners, for Illinois and its of
fcers and for the whole country. viii the union

if the unions welded no power?

OF the law makers and their suggestion that further
delay in the passage of ship legislation is probable,
has forced President Harding 10 come to the front
in no unqualified manner a thing he should have
done long ago, and demand that this matter be
settled now.
In order to insure development Of our infant in
d~ustries, America adopted 4 protective tariff for
The product Of factory, mine and farm Thus Amer
lean ships had TO be built by the highest paid la
Dor in the world and operated by the highest paid
crew.
None would have American standards of living
lower than they are; but the insurmountable handi-
cap caused thereby to American shipping, built
and operated by protected labor in competition
with foreign ships is obvious.
President Harding recognizes these facts and also
the fact that as conditions return TO normal, as
freight rates drop, and as competition becomes
more keen the American flag will be wiped off the
sea by foreign competition just as it was previous
to the world war. He also realizes that the Amer
lean people are tired of the tomfoolery that has
been displayed in congress with reference to this
measure.
If America is again placed in jeopardy through
lack of shipping facilities as it was at the begin
ming of the war President Harding realizes that the
blame for such conditions will rest solely with the
men now in congress and upon whose action the fu-
ture of our merchant marine depends.

Cut the Tomfoolery

HUNDRED and ten million American citizens
II witness their congress in session for months
at a time, wrangling over the passage of measures
which Vitally affect our national progress.
They see congress adjourn with most important
business unfinished and they see it reassemble with
new members and the whole fight on am important
proposition again started.
They have seen this procedure repeated for years
at a time while the passage of important meas
ures affecting the life of leading industries, hung
in the balance.
If one thing above an others would condemn
government ownership and management of any
line of industry, this feature of political ragchew-
ing would be sufficient.
Witness today as one example QUIZ merchant
marine problem. For many years the subject OF
a ship subsidy has been a political foot ball.
Leaders in congress who are familiar with the
situation and who realize the necessity of govern
ment cooperation and assistance IN fostering our
shipping industry are prevented from getting ac,
tion on such measures due to delays fostered and
encouraged by two by four politicians seeking
cheap notoriety. Such Representatives of the peo-
pie would make our congress into a h~eadless,
tailess, spineless, and ~iellyfish organization for
purely political rather than business administra-
ton of public affairs.
This policy of do nothing but wrangle on the part
