WADE LEFLER,

the same time give equal pause
to the La Toilette managers, who
think that the decline in the earn
ing power of eastern wage earners
will turn them radical and win
make them cease being Repub.
leans or Democrats.
Increases in Industry.
In the first place, the income Of
these eastern wage earners has re-
Gently been sufficient to enable
them to endure a considerable
amount Of Unemployment and Of
reduced working hours and wages
without being driven to any des-
peration.
Throughout last year their weekly
earnings, in purchasing power, were
on the average some 80 per cent
higher than their weekly earnings
Ten years ago.
Even today their weekly earnings
on reduced time per week are some
"a per cent higher than they were
then in purchasing power.
This is the development which
brings 1t about that in depressed
year like 1921, when we paid APP
proximately eight and half billion
dollars in taxes to the Federal Gov
eminent and to our various local
governments. we are at the same
time able to spend almost ten bill
lion dollars for coffee, chewing
gum, tea, soft drinks at soda
fountains, pianos and other So
called ''non-necessaries" and ''luxu-
ries."
An amount Of unemployment
which ten years ago might have
had serious consequences today has
consequences at any rate much
less serious; because the accumula-
ted income with which to endure It
in the average working family Is
so much larger.
Not Hunger Discomfort.
This Is why manifestations Of dis
content and appeals for help in our
Industrial regions during our pres
emit slac:Sening Of business have
been small and few.
The La / gillette managers cannot
count upon seeing any large num-
Der of Eastern wage earners driven
into their camp by, hunger.
Yet the Coolidge managers, on
the other hand--if they will remem-
Der Wisconsin and If they will re-
member Britain, cannot count upon
seeing the Eastern wage earners
saved from La Follettism and
laborism and socialism by the in
crease Of prosperity which in gem
eral has come to them during the
last decade.
In order to arrive at the real
prospects that grow out Of the
present situation we have to 60
deeper into other things besides
prosperity and depression.

FARMERS CELEBRATE VICTORY
BY SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE

The farmers of Sheridan County
are celebrating the victory of the
Farmer-Labor Party in the county by
doing something constructive as
memorial of the redemption of Sher-
idan county, and making it the best
administered county in the state and
the best county in the northwest to
live in by taking steps to build a hall
or theatre to be called the Farmer
Labor temple.
FILLS LONG FELT WANT
The Farmer-Labor Temple is to fill
a long felt need in Plentywood and
Sheridan coknty and the idea has
long been discussed. The promoters,
after seven years of struggle to re-
deem the county and make it what it
should be, having been successful at
the elections and having placed the
county in the hands of the farmers
for the next four years, felt that the
time had come to launch the project
that will fill a need in the city and
country and that will at the same
time be a sort of a memorial to the
triumph at the polls, the only county
in the state that went over the top
