Once upon a time a group of aminently respectable gentle men had just Succeeded in wrecking a great railway sys- tenn. They had trimmed the stockholders out of millions, let the equipment run down until people got in the habit of mak- ing wills before they rode over the lines, and ruled the em- ployes with an iron hand.
 When the railroad system had been mill<ed to the limit, how ever, one of the eminently re- spectable gentlemen got a great idea. "If we could only get on the inside of the government, as we got on the inside of the rail- road, what a lot of easy pick ings there would be-" he sug- gested to his confreres. And their faces lighted up with the prospect of easy loot
 Nothing easier" one of them remarked "All we have to do l., to get our gang into the iobs." So the eminenrlv re- spectable gentlemen called on the indifferent voters, in the in terest of eminent responsibility, to get some eminentlv respecta- ble candidates-in short, their GANii-into the most eminent " respectable jobs in the coun- try. This was the first bloc the railroad bloc" system ap- piled to our government
 Then this little bloc of seri- ous thinkers who had wrecked

Give us the natural re- sources. Give us tariff so that we can keep prices skyhigh. Give us this, give us that"-no Winter Garden chorus girl ever had such an unappeasable at tack of the "gimmies"
 And nine times out of ten, they asked for things and got them-because their bloc was Iii control of the government. It willingly rubber-stamped the requests of the masters. Oh, those boys know their masters voice-don't doubt that for a minute.

Lake Erie Boosts Pay
 to Get Good Men Back

Wage increases of approximately 7 cents an hour for shop employees have just been announced by the officials of the Wheeling &l Lake Erie Railroad, restoring the rates in effect before the United States Railroad Labor Board made its wage slash last July Under the new schedule, machinists, black smiths, sheet metal workers, pipe fit ters, boilermakers, electricians, upho1- sterers, brass babbitters, carpenters and wood machine workmen will get v cents per hour, as against the former rate of 7o,3 cents an hour. Painters, freight car inspectors and repairmen and air brake repairmen will receive 70 cents per hour as against the Railroad Labor Board pay cut to CA cents. Apprentices and helpers get a boost of 7 cents per hour, coach cleaners are raised to 42 cents an hour, while engine wipers, fire builders, ash pit men, general employees and dockmen get a raise of 3 cents per hour.
 The Wheeling & Lake Erie has never settled with it's shopmen, but hopes by restoring the regular rate of pay demanded by the shop craft unions to entice back into it's employ a few capable union mechanics.

BY Charles nj. Babcock, Minnesota
az Highway Commissioner
First issues of highway bonds under
Good Roads Amendment No. are to
be recommended to the Legislature to
Tighten the burden of public expense
in these times of high taxation. They
will extend to each year its fair share
of the cost Of permanent highway inn
proyements and give the present tax
payers a just measure of benefits for
the funds they are providing.
Highway Improvements projected
now are public necessities which must
be built within few years. They can
be constructed economically now, with
the. bond money, or they will come a
little later perhaps with higher taxes
and construction costs. But they
must be built and soon. -
The proposed bonds together with
the interest on them are to be financed
wholly with trunk highway funds
motor vehicle taxes, and without adj
ding a dollar to taxation. [, The plan
simply anticipates the collection OF
the revenues and applies them on the
roads. with greater fairness to the
taxpayer Of today.
The highway department is not ad-
vocating any increase lin the agreed
fi8 average tax on automobiles nor
any gasoline. tax. The automobile tax
revenues at the $18 average rate will
produce amounts ample to cover both
the principal and interest on bonds
and leave annual balance adequate fol-
established maintenance requirements
and continuation of needed better
ments from year to year.
Facts About Highway Plan
Investigations Of the following
points on highway bonds, Com
missioner Babcock announces, :
have won the endorsements of
various representative organiza-
fions in the state:
No tax increases either in road
or auto rates.
Motor vehicle tax balances will
provide the sinking fund required
by the constitution to pay all
interest and i retire highway
bonds at maturity.
Projected highway improve
ments must be made in few
years whether under the present
