WHEN ST LOOKED

BY ALBERT APPLE

1NSKILLED labor worked for the equivalent Of II

Improvement came very slowly
About 80 years ago Carroll Wright chief of the United
States Bureau Of Statistics conducted an extensive inve
the average American blacksmith worked for II cents
day, aborers % cents and carpenters 81 cents.
Even rs late as 1875 the blacksmhs got only 1921 day
unskiled labor Sl5O, and carpenters S246 day.
Many lines of work pay much hour as was paid
for full days work half century ago.
NE cost Of living not low most Of us imagine
back yonder in the good old days when dollar looked
as big a house
Take wheat which is a fairly accurate measure or gauge
OF general prices. Wheat in 1916 sold for S175 bushe
here in America The price dropped 80 cents in 1916
bounded to $3.50 in 1867 sumped TO 5S cents in 1894
Cost of living in the old days fluctuated decidedly for
prices have always Travelled in 50year cycles reaching about
the same high peaks every half century One generation
has low prices The next generation has high prices and
the odmers lean their canes and discuss the low cost
of living of long Their parents still another generation
back knew only high prices.
IMAGES in the Ole days not very elastic They were
w adjusted for period of low prices and failed TO
keep pace with the cost Of living when it climbed high So
the man born in odme period of high prices was de-

Our generation appears to be the first in history in which
wages have become elastic enough keep III sight of sky

The Power Fight

THE POWER fight that will come before the voters
of the state in the fall election has resolved itself
INTO clear cut issue between the Bone and Reed power
bills, due to the fact that Oliver T. Erickson has with
drawn his super-power measure from the running
Erlcksons move simplfies the situation The Bone
l provides that cities may sell power outside their cor
porate limits tax-free. Reeds measure imposes per
cent tax on the power sold The superpower measure
had more or less of confusing effect on the situation
Erickson has not dropped his idea. He has merely
postponed 1t to clear the field for the freepower BILL The
conservation idea contained in his plan looms as the next
step after the cities have their fight to sell surplus
power outside their corporate limits. tax-free
