OVER THERE

Some American tourists, with much more
money than sense contributed their bit the other day
toward making relations between this country and
France as bad as possible.
81 They papered the walls of their railway state
room with French francs, plastered the seats
with the same and laid double carpet of
francs the floor. Then they called in the con
ductor to show him what they had done. They were
vastly amused by the commotion he made.
Which brings up the matter of the proposed pill.

bers to France next summer.
Among all the thirty thousand it is scarcely DOS
sble that there will be lacking in sense of
decency the tourists described above
There will be many, however, who haye not kept
In touch with the changing French sentiment of
the past few years.
There will be many who anticipate being re-
ceived in the open armed manner as of 1917
These will go expecting to resume cordial rela-
lions with the French people Just where they were
broken when they took ship for home at the end
of the war.

MORE MONEY FOR ALL

If industry is to avoid periodical oVerproduction
and resulting financial depression, wage earners
must have the money with which to purchase the
steadily increasing quantity of things produced
That thought is growing among the professors of
economics. n
At the same time there is arising among leaders
of industry the question of how and where this extra
money is to be discovered.
All of which leads TO a suggestion that public
development of electric power, as being tried out
at Muscle Shoals, for example. is necessary
than has been imagined
six months test, according to Washington dis
patches, has proved that the Federal Government

compounded annually, profit Of $1.347,971.464.
municipalities, by purchasing the Muscle Shoals
output and distributing 1t among their citizens, can
also make big profits. On sale of publicly generated
power the city of Los Angeles has made $12210,477
profit in the last nine years.
Thus public development of electric power
means money in the public treasury and consequent
reduction of taxes.
Meanwhile, in the process, the price Of electricity
to both wage Garner and manufacturer is reduced
The wage Garner has more money to spend on other
things; the manufacturer has opportunity to In
crease sales through lowered production costs and
lower prices
Fewer taxes, cheaper power, increased pr oeuc-
ton, more money in the pocketbooks Of every one
except the handful of men who are fast gaining
control of the private power business.

ONE IMPORTANT FACT

There is one fact in connection with the street
car strike which interest not only the citizens
committee, but every citizen.
There may be a division of opinion as to the
methods of reaching the result.
There can be argument as to the wisdom or
foolishness of steps taken by the leaders Oh the
men and the officers OF the company.
But there can be no quibbling the fact that
the men who run these street cars must be paid
wage which enables them to live decently and ac-
cording to American standards.
The men who meet the public and serve the
public upon these should be alert, courteous,
capable
Men who are near the bread line can hardly
maintain a smiling and courteous attitude to the
public and their regard for the safety of passengers
is likely to be disturbed by their private prob
lens.
The one question and the one fact which
should be established is whether the wage of 81
cents an hour for beginners and AZ cents an hour
as the ultimate goal to be reached is living and
fair wage commensurate with the service rendered
and in keeping with wages paid for work of CORE
spending character in this city.
The officers and management Of the street car
company will make mistake if they try to avoid
IN any manner this issue.
The street car company is not private enter
prise Upon its operation every other industry and
business depends TO a large extent 1t deals III
necessity and is given monopoly on the presump-
ton that it is best qualified to give the service.
The fares it collects taken in behalf of the
public and it owes very special duty to the public.
When it fails in any respect, its failure is re-
fected in the business of every merchant the opera
ton of every plant and in the comfort of every home
in the city
1t acts in behalf of all the people at all times.
Certainly the people of this city do not desire or
wish to ride upon cars manned by men who do not
receive fair wage
The people themselves the real employers
OF the/men and they would, most assuredy, favor
scale of wages that is fair and just.
The present scale may be fair wage. 1t may
be Just wage 1t my be decent wage
These may be extrayagant in their demands
and wholly unjustifed in their attitude. They may
be getting all they need and all they
But the people will want to know and then public
opinion be formed on facts and full information

Sporting Blood

According to the United Press,
President Coolidge's fishing has be-
come a, topic Of lively interest at
Washington, not only among sports
men, but politicians.
Friends of the chief executive ex-
press themselves as pleased that he
should have taken to it so Wig
orously. It shows, they point out,
that the President enjoys sport as
much as any one, and ''it does much
to contradict Mr.. Coolidge's reported
statement, that fishing is only a
small boys pastime."
II don't think there is any CUES
ton that Mr.. Coolidge always has
liked sports said Senator McNary
of Oregon, and leader of the farm
bloc, "any man who will risk his life
on a hobby-horse must have some
sporting blood"
Senator Boreh said, 1T am inclined
to believe there are fishes and fishes.
Perhaps some of the correspondents
have been seeing too many"

see basic changes in modes Of cook

and transportation.
They can remember the first
kerosene lamp, the first bicycle, the
first arc light. the first skyscraper.

When Ezra Meeker made his first
trip across the continent seventy
four years ago, he went in covered
wagon and twice afterward. he re-
