DISCOUNT DAWES
PLAN BUSINESS
Is ADVISED

New York, Sept. 6.-Politieians are
jubilant over the increase IN wheat
prices and the Dawes reparation plan,
but fnaneiers caution business men
not TO take these claims at their face
value.
The Annalist, "a journal of finance,
commerce and economies states that
there is a discefnable and probably
justified slight cooling from the first
flush of business optimism which wa
engendered by high prices for the
large crop of American wheat
II is estimated that the farmers
have gained S200,000,000 by the in
crease. Against this, the Annallst
points out, wages of factory workers
throughout the country dropped $780,
10000 in June, July and August.
"How much can S200,000,0 900 OF
wheat money do to eounterbalance
5000, 000,0 900 lost wages and lost pur-
chasin gpower?" asks the Annalist:
In discussing the Dawes plan, this
financial journal says the general pub
lie may receive false impressions, but
this is not true with those who are
awake to the complex and rather un-
| favorable conditions which are likely
to confront our export trade under
the expected conditions of German
revival"
The New York Evening Post says;
"Some sound judges believed that a
good deal of nonsense has been talke
about the stimulating effect of the
reparations settlements on American
| industry
All of these observers cautiously
point out that with Germany placed
on her feet" as one writer states, that
country will be equipped to supply
her own markets and challenge conf
petitors. Business men are assured
that while conditions are not black
they are far from being as rosy a
painted.
Taking a broad view of the situa-
tion," says another observer, ut APP
pears that as consequence OF the
PREPARATIONS settlement, more goods
will be produced in the world. In
creased competition and a greater
premium on efficiency appear to be
the inevitable results. Incidentally
it is rather difficult to reconcile such
an outlook with expectation for a
higher level of commodity prices"

HIGH
COURT DECLARED
TO BE DESPOTIC

Washington, Sept. 6.-ln one Of
the bittefest criticisms ever made on
the supreme court Of the United
Safes. Justice John Ford of the New
York supreme court informs Senator
IaFollette that he will support the
LaFollette- Wheeler ticket. The fed
eral high cour is declared IAN abso-
lutte despotism' which makes demo.
crazy IAN idle dream"
Denouncing the "feaeuonary plat
form and Tory candidates of the Re-
publicans," Justice Ford declares that
'the Democratic convention adopted
dishonest, cowardlv and platitudln.
Gus platform and selected n tried and
true servant of plutocfacy as its can
didate for president
For the citizen who loves our
democracy and believes with Lincoln
in government of, by and for the
people, and holds with Jefferson that
the true object of government should
be the greatest oood for the greatest
number" said Justice Ford, there
is no practical way in which he can
express his convictions by his ballot
in this election except by voting your
ticket.
II shall so vote and work for the
election Of yourself and Senator
Wheeler.
"Your stand for divesting the fed
eral judiciary of its irresponsible
power especially recommends your
candidacy to me.
The supreme court of the United
States is an absolute despotism. II
is beyond the control of congress, OF
the constitution, of the people and OF
any authority which is directly or in
directly responsible to the people.
$50 long as that appointive, life
time oligarchy remains the supreme
power in the nation, our boosted
democracy is sham and the kind. OF
government Lincoln lived and died to
perpetuate becomes an idle dream.

SOCIAL LEGISLA-

Nashville hnn., Sept. 6.-~0rgau-

to urge its legislative program at the
forthcoming meeting of the Tennessee
general assembly. The federal child
labor amendment is given FIRST posi-
ton, and every effort will be made to
elect a sympathetic governor and leg.
islature.
at is a foregoing conclusion that
the ratification will be vigorously op-
posed by those Tennessee employers
who coin dollars from the sweat and
blood of childhood" said David Hanly,
legislative chairman of the state fed
Grafton of labor.
''rhe women's organizations as we'll
as the labor unions of this state
should arouse themselves and see tina;
no person is elected to the governor
ship or to the legislature who is not
in favor of this amendment" said Mr..
Hanly.
Another important proposal is the
compensation law amendments that
will bring the Tennessee act in line
with modern thought. The outstand-
ing defect in this act is that it is ad-
ministefed by the courts. This makes
compensation settlements slow. com.
plicated and costly and tends to de-
feat the purpose of the act.
The passage Of loan shark bill,
and an act TO limit the hours of fe-
male labor vii also be urged The
present law allows female labor to be
worked 81 hours per week.

STATE COMPEN-

is FAVORED

Portland, Ore, Sept. 6.--organized
labor's proposal that Oregon adopt
compulsory workmen's compensation,

private insurance companies, contract

doctors. These exploiters of injured
workers are attacking the humane
proposal that all profit be taken out

Trade unionists are pointing out
that the cost of operating the Oregon
industrial accident commission, a state
institution, is less than 10 per cent.
This includes overhead, and is against
a Al per cent cost of the private IN
surance companies.
Under state insurance the workman
has 90 per cent of his insurance
money placed to his credit, and under
the other system he has but So per
