Roads and Schools

When life was simple. problems
could be considered upon their own
merits. without relation to other prob
lens. The Colonial planter ate what
he raised, and cooked il over wood he
chopped. II he went on a journey, II
was then time enough to consider the
horse. the coach. the road over which
he travelled. Travelling was one thing,
and living at home was another; nei-
Their affected the other.
Today we eat what others raise, and
cook and keep warm by the coal that
others mine And whether or not we
ever go on journey, the roads
whether they be railroads or rivers,
or canals or dirt roads. 1t must
function to bring our fuel to us, and
to take from us the goods we make.
True, the farmer lives from his own
grain and cattle, but he must yet de-
pend on transportation to sell his pro-
duct, and to bring him what he buys
with the reward OF that product.
Transportation cannot now, be con-
sidered as apart from any problem.
1t is a part of all social problems
And il is especially a part OF the edu-
ca,ional problem. since children must
go from home to school, and where
the school is some distance away, must
ride The good road means a good
kchool, well attended school, an ef-
fcctive school. The best school, To-
Gated on a mud wallow. miscalled a

children who cannot get to school on
account OF mud
The schools OF this nation can never
reach their fullest development. or dc
full justice to our children. until we
have good roads everywhere.
All taxes are irriianis; but the tax

dividends, not only in decreasing the
cost OF hauling. and so increasing pro-

Progressives Block Congress;
Old Guard Has to Remove Gag

Washington. Dec. 2-ProgreSSivism
wrecked party lines and party diSci-
pine of the administration party when
congress convened in regular session
on Monday, December 3. 1t was inn
possible to organize the house until the
old guard agreed to remove the gag on
members that operated through the
rules committee.
Officially the administration party
has 225 members in the house. There
are POT members in the minority party
and three scattering.
This gives the administration party
a clear working majority, but % of
its members refused TO accept the
caucus nominee for speaker until the
house rules were amended.
Under the old system the rules COM
mittee could withhold from the house
any bill or resolution it saw fit. This
committee is one of the cemeteries
special privilege selects to bury social
Legislation and other proposals of bene-
fit to the people.
The so-called insurgents" demand
ed that the house be afforded an OPP
portunity to vote on the following pro-
posal: Shall the rules be changed so
that if the house by a majority vote,
calls up bill or a resolution, such ac
tion removes it from the jurisdiction of
the rules committee and places it before
the house This procedure will permit
of public discussion and record votes
two things most dreaded by the politi-
cal agents of privilege.
The value of this committee to priv
ilege was shown in the last congress
when the chairman of the rules COM
mittee even ignored decisions of the
committee that certain bills be report
ed to the house. He carried the bills
in his pocket and despite the protests of
members of the house the bills were not
reported.
Because they were determined to
abolish this gag on the peoples legis-
lature, a score of the administration
party blocked the organization of the
house until relief was secured. They

lead in its bitterness against the de
mand that the house rules be changed.
After the progressives tied up the
house for two days, and forced CON
eeSsions. the Post makes this amusing
mrn-about:
"Fhe proposed action by the House
of Representatives opening the way
for revision of the rules is timely and
appropriate. Ii is the proposal of the
majority and was under consideration
long before the mock-heroic martyrs
of Wisconsin offered to immediate them
selves on the altar of 'progressiyism.'
Once more true progressivism is found
in the ranks of the safe and sane ma
jority, and not among the scattering
zealotS who claim that political virtue
dies with them
The senate is confronted with the
same situation that exists i'm the house.
Officially the administration party has
81 seats, the minority party has 43
seats, and the farmer-labor party has
the two senators from Minnesota. The
majority of the administration party
means nothing, however, because of the
wide cleavage between conservative
and progressive.
One political writer who is close to
administration powers has stated that
coalition government lineup of
conservatives in both parties--is the
solution of the present chaos. Some
observers take this as hint Of what
will happen if plutocracy is confronted
by an attack ON its income, through
tax revisions.

MERCHANTS READY
FOR XMAS TRADE
IN TWIN CITIES

Awakened TO the fact that compeii.
tion in nearby cities h utilizing
every attractive means 10 draw trade
away from Champaign and urbana
during the holiday season, the mer.
chants Of the Twin Cities have pre.
pared themselves with a stock OF
holiday goods that in every instance
compares most favorably with the
lines carried IN the metropolis Of the
state.
The Twin City merchants have care
fully solved the plan of protecting
themselves against the loss of trade
through nearby city competitors. This
may be seen by taking a glimpse of
the show windows, and Is more read
lily observed by walk through any
one of the stores of Champaign. With
scarcely an exception the Twin Cities
have taken on a holiday air and
whether the season is favorable or
not, they have done, and will continue
TO do all that can be expected Of
merchants In providing for the usual
Christmas wants.
Many of the stores have added en-
tirely new departments for their
Christmas trade. Others have in
creased the space used in former years
10 make room for the display of addi-
tional stock added TO their lines this
year. In every store where one ex.
poets to find special holiday attrac-
tions the line Of holiday gifts Is com
plete.
The more progressive merchants Of
the two cities may be found By look
ing over the ads published in the an
nual Christmas edition Of the Twin
City Review. To the merchants who
have thus advertised in our columns
are we obliged for the issuing Of our
holiday number. They have made Il
possible for The Review to present %
its readers an issue superior In many
respects than any former issue. II
Is their continued patronage that
makes IL possible for The Review 10
continue publishing.
Inasmuch as the success Of this
holiday number Is credited to our ad-
vertisers il becomes the personal obi
cation Of The Review to recommend
those merchants who have supported
Labor in making this issue possible.

THE LABOR INJUNCTINN
EVIL MUST BE REMONED

Increased agitation curb the power of judges in
contempt cases. because of the Craig incident IN New
York will not affect the principle involved in the labor
injunction.
The right to criticize courts is different from labors
demand that the use of the injunction be conlned 10 s
oipnal purpose-protecton of property and property
rights when the plaintiff has other remedy at law
Labor holds that courts have no right to use their
equity power Ito issue nuncons) in times of strike, as
this power can not be used in personal relations.
In defense of this position labor points to the ancient
rule governing the issuance of inlunctons.
This rule is never violated by courts except when
workers are involved in strikes.
Then the court becomes lawmaker, judge and execu-
TONER but only applies this usurped power to workers
If courts are compelled to grant jury trials in con-
tempt cases. this does weaken the courts power to
issue labor injunctions.
Labor may be less subject to severe punishment be-

the courts power to issue labor nuncons remains un-
challenged.

RAILWAY MEN
GRANTED INCREASE
AFTER LONG WAIT

Heads of the railroad brotherhoods
have opened a campaign for higher
wages and changes in working condi-
tons. The campaign was launched
at a conference of the workers Off
cials of the New York Central rail-
road, one of the most powerful roads
in the country.
1t is expected that members of the
railway brotherhood, if successful in
squeezing a raise out of the N. Y.
Central will advance upon other roads
who have been dilatory in meeting
the demand of Labor for higher
wages.
Railroad men have a legitimate
right, they think, to a wage which
nearly approaches the peak of war
wages. They are not expecting to
make a demand for the highest scale
the country has ever paid, but they
intend to impress the railway owners
of the Importance of a decided in
crease.
The demand will be based upon the
fact that the cost of liyino has mount
ed rather than diminished since the
war.
1t was announced December 4 that
the United States railroad labor board
had granted wage increases of | to
cents an hour to 22,612 men. The in
crease was reported to be retroactive
to June l, 1923.
Other roads are reported to have
