SOLDIERS, COMPENSATION

The soldiers compensation law
which will be voted on by the people
Of Kansas at the coming election
should be read by every voter. 1t Is
printed every week In the Weekly
Reflector. This law owuld authorize
the state of Kansas to issue bonds
to the extent Of $25,00O.O00 and
the money would be used to give
each man who entered the service
from Kansas 81 per day for each
day they were in the service. The
bonds would be retired at the rate or
$1,000, 900 annually for twenty
years.
As the state tax commission has
figured that the average cost to the
taxpayer for the payment OF this
debt will amount to less than ~
cents per year for each thousand dol
lars Of assessed valuation, 1t will be
seen that the tax bill will not be n
murder upon any taxpayer.
Many states have already mace
provisions for the payment OF a
bonus to the ex-service men and
Kansas should be willing to do her
share.

PLENTY OF JOBS IN KANSAS
Comparatively Little Unemployment
Labor Report Shows

There is comparatively little un-
employment In Kansas, according to
the labor report for the week ending
last Saturday given out today by
Judge John II. Crawford, director Of
the labor department Of the indus
trial curt. A total Of 1,439 persons
registered as being out Of work at
the seven district offices Of the labor
division during the week. During
the same period the seven offices re-
ceived applications Of help wanted
numbering 1,127. A total Of 1,15S
of those idle were referred to jobs
and OIL of these reported back that
they had found places.
OF the 1,439 reporting idle during
the week, 1892 were men divided
as follows: 1,105 unskilled "A
skilled and % clerical and profes-
sionaL One hundred forty-seven were
women. 90 Of them unskilled. EN-

Beloit Gazette: J. N. Dolley was
elected chairman of the Shawnee
county Republican committee ana
Immediately announced his candi-
6acy for the position Of Republican
national committeeman from Kansas
In 1924 to succeed ID. w. Mulvane.
Mr.. Dolley is doubtless proceeding
on the theory that the early BIRD
catches the worm, but our recollec'
ton Is that the worm acquired q
good deal Of trouble as the result or
his action In OVERRIDING the early ris-
ing business. Possibly that may De
the result In this instance. In any
event, the action Of Mr.. Dolley Is ILL
advised. The Republicans Of Kan
sas will not elect national commit
teeman until 1924. In the mean
time a state ticket is to be elected
and a lot of other things are to be
done. The campaign and the legis-
lative program to follow may de-
yelop some leader that will be more
entitled to the honor Of representing
the Republicans Of Kansas as their
national committeeman than either
Mr.. Dolley or Mr.. Mulvane so that
a factional fight over this matter at
this time is worse than useless.

FAVORED ANTI-STRlkE LAW

If It be true, as reported, that
President Harding desires that con-
gress put teeth. in the Transporta-
tion Act, 1t is altogether probable
that he has In mind some such anti
strike provision as that contained In
the present law when passed by the
senate, but stricken out In the house.
When taken to task by labor union
for his support of the anti-strike
clause, Mr.. Harding said, In a letter
written in December, 1919:
81 favored the anti-strike clause
because 1t applies to public service
under governmental regulation, in
which congress exercises Its power
to limit the return on capital invest
3D. fixes rates at which the public
must be served, enacts the conditions
under which service must be rem
dered, and finally, In the anti-strike
clause, provides a capable tribunal
for the adjustment of all labor griev-
ances, so that no interruption In
transportation need be apprehended.
In our modern life. all the people
, are dependent on railway transpor-
tation for food, comfort, health, Sc
curity and the necessary materials
for productive activity and attending
livelihood. This transportation Is a
public service, and Is no longer a
speculative private enterprise. 1t Is
not competitive, except as to quality
of service; 1t Is limited In profit, and
the investment comes under govern
mental restrictions. Expenditures
are limited because earnings are lin
TIED. Is 1t not wholly consistent and
fair, then, that the same government
tai authority should prohibit the
paralysis. of the public service, so
long as Ii. provides a. competent tri-
bunal to adjust all labor grievances
and awards to railway employees
every Just consideration?
.There has been no intent to in
terfere with the plan Of collective
bargaining competitive, private
enterprise. This provision deals sole
ly with a public service, the contin-
ued and uninterrupted maintenance
Of which is vital to the whole people.
Surely the organized railway work
men ask no more than full justice,
and In this act the government
establishes the tribunals for the
award Of that justice. II our boasted
present-day civilization cannot find
a plan to avoid Industrial conflicts 80

mental regulation. without resort to
wssteful warfare and suffering. then

LOOK FOR LARGE ACREAGE
Much Wheat viii Be Planted in
Kansas This Fall

A large acreage of wheat in Kan
sas this fall, though probably not 80
great as in the last season, is the
prediction of L. Z. Call, head Of the
agronomy department in the Kansas
State Agricultural College. He con-
siders this desirable outlook.
Reports indicate that much early
work has already been done to pre-
pare the ground for fall seeding.
The quantity of early work Of this
character is greatly increasing in
Kansas, it is stated. If the weather
continues dry, however, this work
will be much handicapped in coming
weeks, and the acreage to be planted
will probably be reduced.
