SALARY INCREASE
COMES WITH
PROMOTION

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-After a
ca, eful survey OF the entire labor
situation extending from office boy
to president, indications are that
positions showing increases IN sal
aries require experienced help.
Consulting the president of one
of our largest industries, the writ
er inquired regarding the rapid
success of a certain young man who
had become general manager, and
who few years ago was but office
bow: his answer was, Brown start
ed as office boy, the lowest salarled
position in our office, he was am
bilious and managed to purchase a
typewriter on small monthly pay
ments and after three weeks OF
practice at home he was promoted
to bill clerk, which position gave
him knowledge of the selling price
of all merchandise. His next ad-
vance was that of typist, which
taught him the numerous forms OF
letter-writing and enabled him to
hold a stenographic position, CIV
ing MIN COmpieIe huOWlSuSC VI AZ"
ter-writing. He was then made sec
rotary, bringing him into contact
with all business details and quail
fled him for the general managers
office at ten thousand per year.
The same opportunity awaits ev-
cry young man and woman. Educa-
ton or age have nothing to do with
operating so simple machine as
the type writer. We are informed
that great piece of benevolent
work is being carried on by a large
Chicago mail order house in fur
nishing typewriters to people wor-
thy OF credit, by selling on small
monthly irstallments, So low as to
average about eight cents per da!
and actually teaching theL custom
ers how to use and operate any tpe
writer in about three weeks time

EDIT ORAL S

! w few members of the Legisla-
| ture.
1t has been charged more than
once that certain Objectionable
pieces of legislation have been
railroaded through the last night 5
lamb and not discovered for some
time afterward.
Several years ago, W. S. Kirk
patrick, then editor of the Times
Recorder, wrote a series of edi-
torials along this subject, citing
the beneficial effects to be de-
rived from a law or procedure
similar to the Nebraska law Since
then, the Times-Recorder hes re-
peatedly urged its passage,
Governor Walker very likely
will call an extra session early in
1926 and his excuse or reason will
be the faulty manner in which
the payment of back pensions
for the Confederate Veterans was
provided for. This bill, or bills,
were. it is charged, rushed through
without proper consideration, re-
sulting in the passage of a law
which is faulty and which authori-
ties claim is unconstitutional. Be
that as it, may, the bill provided
for the sale of script which no
banker will buy.
While we do not think an ex-
ira session advisable now, we do
believe if one is called by the
Governor he should include in his
call this question Of higher pay
for the Representatives and Sen
ators which would be lump
sum for the session, with no limit
to the number of days the Legis
lature may remain in session, or
if a limit, one longer than the
present law.
The present law, which is fixed
by the Constitution of the State,
provides that the Legislature
may remain in session any num-
Der of days up to a maximum of
90. 1t cannot remain longer
than 90 days The rate of pay
for the Legislator is $500 per
day. In addition to his $500,
the Constitution allows him trav-
cling expense which shall nor ex-
coed 10 cents per mile.
To change either the pay or the
number of days the session would,
therefore, require constitution
al amendment.
By including this question in
the call, provided an extra ses-
sion is called, might save the
State the expense of an extra ses-
sion in 1923, for what happened
in 1925 is Just as likely to be
repeated after the regular bi-en-
NAL session of 1927.

ANITA WHITNEY
ATTRACT ATTENTION

The wide agitation over the Anita
Whitney case attracts new attention
to the war born criminal syndical-
ISM laws. These are laws against
wrong which, if anything, is a form
Iof constructive treason. The thing
they try to stop is opposition to our
institutions and Civilizations which
might endanger our form of govern
ment. That, when it goes far enough
to be properly crime at all, is GER
tainly an offense of the same nature
las treason.
But the fathers of the constitu-
ton, when dealing with direct trea-
son, made definition of it narrower
than that of any other crime, and re-
quired proof of it more complete
than is called for in any other crime.
And they considered this special poll
cy so important that they embodied
it irrevocably in the constitution.
The newer lawmakers, dealing not
with direct, but with constructive
treason, followed exactly the Opposite
policy They made a definition of it
broader than that of any other crime
land required less proof of it than is
demanded for conviction of any 9th.
er crime.
American institutions will be
quite safe enough if we carry out the
principles of the constitution as to
constructive treason, as well as to
direct treason. Surely the lesser
wrong should not be dealt with more
severely than the greater.

One advantage of democracy is
that, like death or war, it is final.
If a monarch, or even a ministry
or Parliament, makes a certain de-
Cision, it may be wrong, and those
disagreeing or aggrieved cherish the
ambition of reopening it. But if the
people vote it, right or wrong, it is
settled, and nobody considers doing
anything about it, at least until the
next regular appeal to the people.
Recognition of the fact makes
democracy really the stablest form
of government When the election
is over, everybody accepts it.

One election is over. And it has set

tied that CAP Smith is to be reckon
ed with the next election.
Either he will be the Democratic
nominee for president, or the fight
that prevents his nomination will
have left scars like those of the last
campaign. Either way, Republicans
look on the situation with compla-
cence.
If Smith is nominated, all the

If he is not nominated, ali the bitter
