what a wonderful country and fine CHI
mate they have" said DR.. Augustus O.
Thomas, State commissioner Of educa-
ton. who recently returned from San
Francisco, Cal, where he had been pre-
siding over the sessions of the World
Conference on Education. DR.. Thomas
said that the climate in San francisco
when he was there was much like that
of Maine and he felt very much at
home, but within three hours after he
left that city he was scorching in the
desert and he sweltered all the way
through to New England.
DR.. Thomas stated that it is said that
when a child is born in Los Angeles
they don't give him a rattle, but give
him a horn and a pennant with LOS
Angeles" printed on it. They boom
their country and their climate. Maine
can afford to advertise its advantages
and can afford to have a few good
boosters, DR.. Thomas asserted.

Of transportation.
The labor factor Is important Just
now because Of the controversy going
on in connection with railroad finances.
1t shows that, at the present standard
Of labor efficiency. wages could be in
creased one per cent with the addition
of but one-half of one per cent to the
nations bill for transportation.
Railroad managers, in recent hear
ings before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, have repeatedly sought to
show that high wages made it impos-
sihSl to reduce rates. Wages exert an
influence on the cost of transportation
to the public in direct proportion to
the labor factor which is shown to be
not so influential as other factors Of
cost Jumped together.
1t is also TO be remembered that the
labor factor, as here used, includes
salaries of executives and all salaried
employees of the roads as well as
