SOAKING THE RICH"
(The Breeders Gaze:te)

l he DTeeueTS 1dZSsleD
Soaking the rich" is one of the
vicious habits which the equally VIC
ious tongues and pens of dema-
fgogues in recent years have develop
ed among numbers of people. 1t is
fair to assume that most well to
do men, like most poor men, are hon.
est, and that the acquisition OF
wealth is oftener due to exception nal
personal abilities concentrated at the
right time, in the right place, than
to the employment of mscrupulous
methods. We neither condemn nor
defend those who, so far as we know,
have amassed pecuniary wealth in
the honest pursuit of legitimate
business. We think it unfair, how
ever, to regard any man of means
as goat to be shorn or soaked" I"
If, for example, he owns a farm, and
begins stocking it with pure breds,
with a view to inspiring farmers in
his community to raise better ami
mails, what will he think Of those
of US who raise and advocate the
production of improved stock if
some of our friends give him what,
after an inevitable disillusiOnment,
he calls a "raw deal"? What ought
we to think of ourselves if we are
parties to this kind of business?
Our professions are that men of
means are worth1 having, for the
good that they do, in the ranks Of
pure bred stock producers. We say
that we value their cooperation and
influence. If we are sincere In
these representations, we are IN
honor bound to deal honestly and
fairly with these men when and ar
ter they join the ranks of breeders.
Those who would pursue the opposite
course would prove themselves un-
worthy of the breeders calling.
Wealthy men are not averse to
paying high prices for meritorious
animals to which they take fancy;
some of them would in some cases
rather pay much than little, but
that fact does not justify any breed
er's attempt knowingly to sell them
diseased or barren animals at any
price.
The commercial sins of the un-
scTupulouS and unfair are visited
upon the innocent, who constitute the
majority of men identified with any
breed. The majority owes it to it.
self to get rid of its moral law
breakers whenever it has the evil
dence on which to convict them. We
fear that the tendency has been, in
a few instances at least, for the
real friends of the business to use
too much whitewash and diplomacy
and not enough backbone and public
ity in dealing with proved offenders.
The breeder who will deceive a
erich man" will deceive a poor one.
Genuine honesty is not a respecter
of persons; it. treats all alike, every
where, all the time.

Iowa has overhaul million chill
dren in the public schools for whom
teachers must be provided, according
to the state superintendent. 1t is
necessary to certificate several thou
sand persons annually IN addition to
the forty thousand who already hold
teaching certificates in the state, to
provide enough teachers who have
the legal right to teach for the
schools.
The subject Of proper teacher
training is one on which the colleges
and universities are spending much
time and money, Mr.. McClenahan
says but too much effort is being
spent on training teachers for the
high schools and too little effort is
being de oted to preparing teachers
for the rural and grade schools.

Committee Asks investigation
of Conditions in Coal
Mines of Country.
BY international News Service.


Denying the United Mine Workers
of America have ever opposed the
introduction of safety devices OIL
labor-saving machinery in coal
mines. committee of the organiza,
ton today asked the United States
Coal Commission to ascertain to
what extent safety and labor saving
machinery are used.
The committee, consisting of Ellis
Searles, John Moore, and Thomas
Kennedy, told the commission that
what the union insists upon is that
when safety or labor-saving ma.
chinery, methods or devices are in
stalled, they shall be operated by
union miners, and that the miners
shall have something to say about
the rate of wages they are to receive
for such work"
Charged Safety Ignored.
In a statement to the commission
the COMMITTEES said the commission
would find during its inquiry there
were many coal mines in which
safety is practically forgotten and
disregarded." The charge was made
that this is particularly true in
some of the non.union coal fields,
where there is no ample power that
can be used to compel the non-union
coal companies to provide for the
safety of their employees"
Safety measures and safety APP
pliances cost money" the statement
added, 'and the expenditures Of
money, according to the theory Of
these non-nnion companies, tends to
a reduction in the amount Of profits
which they may pile up from their
business. In every State in which
the mine workers are organized and
where they are In a position to pro-
tect themselves against such a. con-
dition, there are effective mining
laws which assure a degree of safety
measured only by the ability of the
miners to compel their observance. :"
Must Pass Examination.
The statement said that in many
States in which coal miners are or.
ganized they are obliged to pass an
examination as to their Qualifica-
tons as miners. 1T stands to rear
son." the union representatives
maintained, "that men who can pass
such examinations are better quail.
fled to operate mining machinery
and devices than men who do not
their skill and judgment
through the process of an examina-
ton. Therefore, the union says
union miners should be placed in
charge of all such appliances and
machinery"
Their statement said the risks in
coal mining were 80 great that any
thing that could be done to lessen
these hazards should be done and
pledged the cooperation Of the union
as well as the support of more than
500 900 men composing the organiza-
ton in the commissions inquiry.
