THE MEASURE OF CIVILIZATION

In acKnOWleQSlnS Cne CTlDute pau HIS business administration by one of the speakers on the occasion of the unveiline of the painting at Kilby prison, Honor able Thomas E. Kilby declared that he did not underestimate the value or bene' fits of the strictly material things ir government, then added this significant statement:
 If were compelled to wipe out the
 record of the establishment of the budget
 system, the taxing system, the securities
 commission, the workmen's compensa-
 tion law, the good roads amendment,
 the port amendment, and other things
 which affect the material welfare of
 the state, or to retain those things and

 should not hesitate for moment be- tween those things of strictly material
 benefit and those which were designed
 for the better education and the better
 health of our citizenship and for the
 better care of the infirm and unfortunate
 wards of the state.
 MT. Kilby emphasized by this statemen that the progress and welfare of the state cannot be achieved through materia things alone, but that they depend il large measure upon enlightenment, anc health, and the establishment of those conditions which make for better citizen ship, higher ideals of government ant sincerer impulses for justice. Governor Kilby put this principle into practice dur ing his administration as chief executive of the state. That is one of the mair reasons why his administration was sue cessful in material ways. The mere ac cumulation of surplus funds does not in sure the progress, prosperity and con tentment of people. They must rise t. a higher plane than that. There can b. no prosperity if the people do not posses ideals above that of material progress Civilization is measured largely by stand ards of enlightenment and justice.

CHEAPER BONUS
BILL is OFFERED
BY DEMOCRATS
Cash, Not Insurance,
Their Scheme

WASHINGTON, April 15.- Demo
Gratis laid their bonus plan before
the Senate today, proposing an out
right cash bonus, which they claim
will cost only half as much as the
Republican insurance policy" bill.
Senator Curtis presented the Re-
publican bill from the Finance Com
mittee thus formally opening the way
for action tomorrow.
His bill, which will be given the
right of way in the senate, under an
agreement among Republican mem
bers of the committees, provides a 20,
year endowment insurance policy in
stead of actual money.
81 For Each Day.
The Democrats then presented their
bill, which would give 81 for every
day Of service after tie first sixty

project. Republicans say theirs will

terest and would be retired within
sixty years with redemptions Of not
more than $25,OOO,OOO yearly.
Senator Royal S. Copeland, of New
York, who drew the Democratic hill,
believes there are enough votes on
the Republican side to help put the
cash measures over.
Wants to Please Everybody.
Copeland thinks veterans will be
more pleased with a cash payment
instead of an insurance policy and
that the public will be better pleased
because only half the sum would be
spent for his bill, in comparison with
the Republican bill.
The tax bill will rest upon the Sen.
ate calendar until after some bonus
bill is passed. Chairman Smoot who
is in charge of the bonus, believes it
should be disposed of within ten DAYS.

German industriaIists will

At the same time a dispatch from

industrialists had agreed to prolonga-
ton of the so-called "Micum" agree
ments for two months and that docu-
ments were ready for signature.
The party leaders were comforting
with the government today on the
form in which Germany's acceptance

expected the document would be
ready soon.

Meantime it was announced that
minister of Justice, Emminger, has
rendered his resignation to Chancellor
Marx owing to inner party differences,
presumably not connected with the
PREPARATIONS question. The chancellor
will accent Emminger's resignation
and probably will assume the port

being.
The decision Of the State Premiers
to accept the Dawes recommendations
was unanimous. Even the national.

and Brandenstein of Mecklinburg, ac.

Federation Calls On All
Unions To Aid

The courageous battle of the
garment strike picketers for
better working conditions was
rewarded yesterday when the
Colonial Frock Company, 322
West Van Buren, street, met the
terms of the Ladies' Garment
Workers Union and signed an
agreement Identical to that of
the other shops which have

At the same time Anton Jo-
hansen told the strikers at a
mass meeting that Federation
Committee of Fifteen" will
send a call to all unions in Chi
cago, both in and out of the
Federation asking them to aid
the strike morally and finan-
cially.
Mayor William E. Dever has in
formed John Fitzpatrick that the
strikers have been denied permission
to parade, since it was announced at
strike headquarters. The matter of
granting the permit for a parade has
been hanging fire since last Thur.
Fitzpatrick was told by the Mayor
that the permit was denied because of
the congested traffic in the loop. Per-
mission has been granted, however, to
run float thru the loop advertis-
ing the struggle of the strikers for
decent living conditions.

MINNESOTA STAR.
TRAITOR TO LABOR
CAN'T Get BUYER
Even Hearst Refuses To
Bid On 1t
az La Federated Pressl

MINNEAPOLIS, April 1.-THE
Minnesota Star, founded as a Farmer
Labor daily in 1920, and now describ-
ing itself as independent" failed to
interest possible purchasers when the
time for opening bids came in district
court here. Sealed bids had been
called for, but none were received.
The daily, which has been in re-
ceiver's hands on motion of creditor
paper company, was valued at $685.,
900 in verbal bid for all the assets
by the attorney for Thomas Van
Lear, present editor, John Thompson,
present business manager and A. B.
Frizzell, who handles Great Northern
railroad advertising. The receiver, a
Minneapolis advertising man, refused
to consider the offer. Another bid of
100000, made for the same interests,
carried with it the pledge to keep the
paper going and pay the creditors out
of the earnings. This was also re-
jected.
Dropped Labor Policy.
Altho the circulation of the Star
has slowly climbed until it is now APP
preaching 10000, this has been at the
expense of practically all the features
that formerly distinguished it as a
farmer and labor daily. Appeals to
these elements to buy the paper and
make it once more a militant daily or
gan of the producers in Minnesota
and the northwest have failed. The
liabilities were considered too great.
With about half of the circulation of
the older dailies in Minneapolis, the
department stores and other firms
were willing to pay the Star half the
standard advertising rate Hearst in
terests looking into the Star plant de-
cided not to buy because the only
chance of it's becoming a going con-
Germ, in their opinion, was to make
it spirited third party organ, which
they are not now willing to do.
Van Lear-TownIey Fight.
Bitter quarrels between Van Lear
and A. G. Townley, Nonpartisan
League chieftain, who usually con-
trolls majority of the proxies at
stockholders meetings, have marked
the recent history of the daily. Van
Lear in 1922 ousted the original
editor, Herbert CASTOR, whom he now
charges with some of the responsible
lily for the extensive investment in
plant made in 1920. CASTOR has shown
that Van Lear was on the board of
directors at the time the important
decisions were made.
