ESSINGTON LABOR
RECORD AS SHOWN
IN REPORT T

We have been asked a number of
times what Senator 7. G. Essington's
labor record has been In the Senate
These questions have been asked
mostly ON account OF the fact that the
Brundage faction of the Republican
party of Illinois, have selected Essing.
ton to run for the Republican NOM
ination for Governor. We have waited
TO answer this question until the
voting record of all the members OF
the house and senate had been com
piled by the legislative. committee
and issued for general use. In the
report we find that Senator Essing-
tons record as far as labor is con-
cerned Is not very progressive. On
the several bills labor was for, he
voted unfavorable three times and
was absent or did not vote on five.
According to our policy of recording
a man. he is listed as being uDfavof-
able on eight bills. Absent or not
voting is considered unfavorable.
He voted for the notorious State
Constabulary Bill, this Is enough TO
show where he stands on labor's
rights.
He failed to vote on the Old Age
Pension bill.
He failed to vote on the third read
ing of the Old Age Pension Bill.
He failed to vote on House Bill,
No. IA, amendments to the Old Age
Pension Bill.
He voted favorable in committee
for the women's eight-hour bill.
He voted favorable against the
Turnbaugh amendment to the same
bill.
He voted unfavorable when it came
to tabling a bad amendment to the
bill introduced by Senator Barbour.
He voted favorable against the
Women's Equal Righs Bill. This bill
II passed would have repealed all
good legislation now on the books
relative to women in industry.
He voted unfavorable on House
Bill, No. 43s, which would have given
the judges the power to Declare
Judgment, or in other words. give the
Judge the power to make laws by his
declaration. In fact to make the
Judges, little Kings. Inquiries made
through our legislative representa-.
tives show that Senator Essington's
record as a Senator does not show
him TO be very friendly to those who
work for a living. We hope that this
gives the information asked for bs
some of our readers.-Galesburg La

ZONING SYSTEM
PROVES GOOD MOVE
FOR EVANSTON

EvanstOn's 100 per cent increase in
property values during the last two
years is approximately half due to
that Chicago suburbs zoninR law,
passed in 1921, according to G. ID.
MACPHERSON, a speaker at the llli-
nois state convention Of realtors In
session at Moline. This compares
with the average 90 per cent increase
in realty values in unzoned suburbs
"certain sections Of Evanston. suet
as the Central street district" he said,
"have quadrupled in value. In the
southeast section Of the town, zoned

Medbury
Says
By John P. Medbury.

by JOnn L. McQDufy.
F" HERE is a man here in
town who has just invented
- new artificial leg which
he guarantees for 10000 miles.
1t is made out OF rubber, but
If you puncture it in less than
year you can take it back and
he'll give you another for it.
He always sells two a t the
same time. You wear one and
strap the spare on your back.
This is a good idea, because if
you're out on a long walk and
have a breakdown it only takes
a couple of minutes to change
legs.
OF course, if you're near a
garage you can go in and they'll
change 1t for you.
While they're putting on the
spare leg you can be having the
old one vulcanized.
It's always best to carry a
spare one because if one of your
legs get flat you don't walk home
on the rim.
Still. it would be embarrassing.
You wouldn't want to start out
for a stroll with your wife and
have her say, WED better stop
at the next service station,
George; your right leg needs
air."
You wouldn't have to go to a
service station, but it's easier
than carrying a pump with you.
A man with one of these new
artificial legs would always have
to carry a set Of tire tools with
him.
Not only that, but he'd have to
pack a flash light around with
him in case he wanted to change
a leg on a dark road some night.
OF course, the man who makes
these artificial legs will prob
ably have a service car, and if
you had very much trouble you
could phone and he'd come out
and tow you in.
It's cheaper to buy a new one,
but you can also get second
hand ones.
Can you imagine going into
their shop and saying: Good
morning, I'd like to buy a good
used Leg"
Then the salesman would ask
you whether you'd rather have
q cord or fabric.
He'd even have the mechanic
put one of their new legs on you
20 show you how classy it looks.
Then If you decided to buy it
he'd leave it on and allow you
two dollars.
These new rubber legs are
great things and when you start
out for walk you don't have to
worry, If it begins squeaking or
paining yOu-just step into any
garage and have it fixed.
