VOTES OF

Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and
Premier Poincare, of France, were given votes of
confidence on Monday, the former by the British
house of commons, and the latter by the French
chamber of deputies. III each case the resolution
was carried by all overwhelming majority, the vote
i'll the British house being 372 to 81. Two or three
weeks ago it seemed doubtful that Lloyd George
could hold together enough of his. following to COM
earlier at the head OF an administration whose abil-
ity to command a working majority was exceed
ingly pr~oblematical.
These sudden changes Of front are Characters
tic Of the political system which has long been in
vogue in France, and which, in several Of its es-
sentlals, has been followed in England in these
later years. Multiplicity of parties is a familiar fea-
ture OF continental politics. 1t is seldom that a leg
islative body in one Of the major continental coun-
tries can claim an actual majority, The task of the
man who is>eharged wifi the Organization of an
administration is to induce representatives of most
Of the factions to participate i'll his organization,
and thus receive the support of practically all of
them, or to effect a combination of his own party,
with one or more of the others and. with the ma
jority thus obtained, to proceed in spite Of the op-
position OF a strong minority. @
The British coalition government was created
during the war, and for war purposes. 1t has con-
tinued for one reason or dnother, chiefly for the
reason that in neither of the old and regularly or
ganized parties has there been a sufficient con-
seriousness of strength to make, the duty of conduct
ing All administration at all attractive. -
The vote Of better than four to one given in
support Of the resolution approving the British adj
ministration Genoa program does not indicate at all
that Lloyd George is safely anchored in his position
for any length Of time. 1t merely means that the
opposition, which is strong in both the old Con-
sentative and old Liberal camps, does not believe
the present a good time to precipitate a contest, and
that the majority believes it to be polite to- send
the representative of the government to the econ
omic conference fortified with the backing Of parlia-
nent. f@s y

UNCLE SAM HAS DEFEATED.

Postmaster McNicol volunteers some %infortna-
ton in relation to the local business mans complaint
that the government is not setting I good example
wherit maintains its box rentals on the basis adopt
ed during the war.
MIR. McNicol says that box rental i'll the local
otfiee was not increased as a war measure, but in
accordance with a standing policy Of adjusting these
rentals to the volume Of business transacted in the
local office. The theory is that the box increases
III value to>tlc subscriber with the volume Of bust
ness transacted-the greater the volume Of business
the greater the service, and the greater the cost.
When the business reaches a certain figure the
rental is raised, and it is maintained at the new rate
until another notch in business increase is reached,
when it is advanced again. 1t happened that the
volume Of business necessary as a basis for a change
in rentals was reached during the war. but it had
no connection with war financing. The govern
rient did, i'll. order to increase it's revenues during
the war, advance certain of its mailing rates. These
increased prices, as for letter mail, etc, were dis
continued in 1919.

FAMILY INCOMES.

The Railway Age has been discussing the the
DRY OF MIR. Jewell that an income of 81, 636 is neccs-
sary to maintain the working mans family in COM
tort. 1t points out some inaccuracies in the Jewell
statistics, such as the assumption that the average
family has five members, whereas the government
census shows that the average American family
numbers 43 persons. Further, the Jewell assu1np-
ton is that only the head OF the family earns wages,
whereas the census returns show that for every fam
My there are 1.7j persons 'gainfully EMPLOYED"
continuing, the Railway Age says:
Mr.. Jewell may answer his figures show the
average railway shop employees family has FIVE per-
sons, and only one person earning income. If that
s&s true, then the average railway shop employees
family is larger than, and has only a little over one
5Shalf as many income producers as, the average
american family. But if railway shop employees
%schoose to have larger families than the average, and
fewer of the members of their families elect to work,
lis that any reason why they should be paid higher
wages than other workers.?
" "Mr. Jewell practically contends that all pro-
objective labor should receive an average wage of at
Neast $2,631. This average wage for all railway
employees in 1921 would have made the railway pay
FOIL over four billion five hundred million dollars,
pr about one billion seven hundred, million dollars
more than it was. 1t would have made the expens-
rs and taxes of the railways exceed their earnings
by about one billion dollars, leaving them not a cent
for fixed charges.
TO provide all the ~forty-two million people in
This country e%gainfully employed with an average
Income of $2,637 would make the total payroll Of
The country's industry one hundred and eleven
lbillion dollars. But the largest total production
kand incone) Of the people Of the United States was
Il 1919, when it was ~sixty-six billion dollars. This
lE1as measured in the high prices prevailing at that
ifiIne. Reduced to the basis Of the prices Of 1913,
The production (and income) of the country reached
Hts r1axinum in 1917, when it was ~forty-one billion
#~#iollars;. Therefore, on the basis Of the prices in
1913, M. Jewell proposes a payroll for industry ex-
Feeding by forty-hve billion dollars the largest total
Production ever attained, and on the basis Of the
prices ~ 1913. 4 payroll exceeding by seventy billion
tollars,sor 10 per cent, the largest production ever
8ttained.
..It ~ hardly necessary to say that the adoption
III Ar. Jewen's wage scale would speedily result in
the profits of all industry being absorbed by the
hayrolL but this does not daunt him. He says his
fan of industrial revolution frankly confemplates
ssitaati0t il which temporarily they (profits) may
ppasge tocease.1

Not a little fun has been poked at

1lI Not a little fun has been pokcd at those who
tldpropose a change in the calendar which. is in COM
Ym'non use. The idea of changing the calendar by
1sAN'egislation has been ridiculcd as ircakish. Possibly
8 # has not occurred to these DIRECTORS that the calcn-
tce.1ar as we have it is itself the product Of legislation,
.xend legislation OF a very imperfect and in udicious
1ec.haracter, at that. The whole thing is 1nan-made.
EIIii,nd has no authority save such as human custom
tffund human legislative bodies give it. The Nations
pr eBusiness, the magazine published by the Chamber
y,apf Commerce of the United States does not regard
1.-The subject as being ridiculous, and without going
mnyynto the probability Of having such legislation en-
,amcted, it discusses the subject thus:
a., 81 "a short time ago the monthly statement OF
,rnone Of the largest chain store concerns in the United
taay>tates showed a very marked falling off in business
meuring the month, as compared with the same month
the previous year. Up to that period the monthly
.1gross receipts had steadily increased, and naturally
3estockholders much concern. An investigation of
ftutthe cause disclosed the fact that there were only four
saturdays in the month, whereas. the same month
the year before had five Saturdays. On a ivc-Sat-
friday basis the company's business for the month
,FTould have shown a gain.
Here is an example of the confusion'i in bust
ness resulting from the inequalities of the calendar.
Vet this is but a minor matter compared to other
difficulties that business has to contend with be-
cause of differences in the number of DAYS in the
months.
For instance, February has twenty-eight days.
While that is actually less than one-thirteenth of a
year, the same monthly salaries and rents are in
cquitably paid. Monthly business charges for MAIN
tenancc, depreciation and the like, are in that way
unfairly proportoned.
. These are a few OF the arguments put forth by
proponents OF a plan OF calendar reform. They are
supporting the liberty calendar bill introduced in
the house by Representative Schall OF Minnesota.
This bill would divide the year into thirteen months
Of twenty-eight days each. 1t would definitely fix
Tor all time the dates of every day of the week, and
thus dispense with the need of YEARLY calendars and
--end the Inconvenience of having to refer to these to
establish the coincidence of days and dates. To il.
%lustrate the Sundays OF each month would be on
the first, eighth, fifteenth and twenty-second.

lie wasn't so successful in the busy

The thoughtless used to whisper that

He was very meek Of manner and hisiN
speech was always mild, !,
But when youngsters gathered round

To hold their rapt attention with q
wondrous fairy tale. q
They called him Uncle William and
,l they never seemed to care.
That his coat was old and shiny and
his trousers thin n bare:
They didn't know he wasn't making
money in the town,
They loved him though he hadn't any
claim to world renown; .,
He could lead them on adventures
down the happiest Of trails,
And was richer than a banker when
IT came to fairy tales. ~ y.
They couldn't see his weakness, they
could only gee his mind.
Wnlcn was stored with fairy stories
-. OF a most enhancing kind.
The grown-ups called him simple,
something old folks often do.
But the children f1ocked around him
for the wonders that he knew;
And they idolized old william, poor
OF purse and sometimes frafl,
Who knew better than their fathers
how to tell a fairy tale.
Perhaps he was a failure, 1t is not for
me to say;

going way, T..

purse Was always slim.
But the children idolixed him ana

Una God made Uncle William lust to
tell those fairy tales.
