Wages Up, Costs Down

Workers in the building trades enjoy, on the average,
very high wages. Very often people who complain OF
high building costs blame these wages, and assert that
everything would be lovely II only the wages could be
materially reduced.
A recent bulletin from one of the largest industrial
construction firms in the country, does not seem to agree
with this thesis, however.
This company reports that industrial building costs
today are the lowest in eight years. Except for a period
in 1922, they have not been so low since 1916. The bull
letin remarks:
"AI of the decline is due largely to falling prices Of
materials and greater efficiency of labor and ~construc-
ton equipment. Wage rates at 1875 per cent over the
1913 level continue at the peak for all time, while all
building costs, including labor, are less than 40 per cent
over 1913"

Low Interest Rate

Interest rates charged Uncle Sam have reached the
new low record Of 2 3-8 per cent.
This reflects an abundance of money minus any other
place activity. When the federal treasury gets such a
rate of interest for a years period, it merely indicates a
great amount Of idle money. The situation also reflects
a demand for safe investment and the shifting back from
stocks to bonds.
It will be remembered too. in this connection, that only
a year ago the federal government paid S and 8 per cent
for short time loans. Trade speculation then was at the
peak. Safety is the keynote today.
What a difference just twelve months makes.

Ruth McCormick's Weakness


Decidedly the chances Of victory in the Illinois sena-
toral election are with Ruth Mccormick but there is an
Inherent weakness in her appeal to the voters. Of that
state.
First she was to be dry. Her statement said she would
have plenty to say on that issue later. Then the post
primary campaign managers went into a huddle. Illinois
Is mintantly wet. It had SO spoken in a referendum not
long ago. After the usual thimble rigging SO prevalent
Ia political headquarters, 1t was decided to remove the
issue from Mr.. McCormicksc campaign completely. She
was to be neither wet nor dry. but with a resignation
heroic, she would abide by q referendum which her back
ers have arranged. RELOCATED. as it were. to a delightful
limbo.
II Illinois goes wet in this referendum, she is wet; If
the mandate is dry, then dry will Ruth become.
That takes the irritating issue out Of the campaign but
where does it leave Ruthless" Ruth. It gives a rather
anemic tnge to her entire campaign. This twentieth
century crusader. the first woman to be nominated for
the United States senate with more than a Chinaman,s
chance to win. is now the ordinary issue-dodging poli-
clan. We had hoped she was different.
II politicians are going to be relieved Of vital Issues in
this way. where is the zest Of battle: where is the glory
Of victory?

Editorial Comment
Try the Thunders of Silence
Bowman County Pioneer)

Bowman County P1Oneer)
From the whims of Aimee Mcpherson deliver us. She
continues to make the front page every SO often. Her
latest stunt is reported to be q fistic encounter with her
mother in which Aimee proved her superiority in the
manly or wonnanly art. Evidently Aimees four square
gospel does not include the commandment to honor thy
father and mother. In a dull season the evangelist is
news but usually not of the ~elevating sort you would ex-
pect from one of her prominence.
Keep her off the front page and she may settle down
and behave herself as any self Prospecting woman Is sup
posed to do. Treat her with the "thunders of silence"
and one more publicity hound will undergo a reforma-
ton.

When the Bayous Voted

Just when it looked as though Helm and Blease were
to be benched politically, Louisiana decided to send q tyo-
ical fighting representative to Washington, one who
doubtless will out Helm a Helm and out Blease a
Blease.
How do they get that way inNhe bayous?
Governor Long promised every voter a Job If he got to
Washington and between pledges he punched newspa-
permen and was charged with completely in kidnapping.
The high spots in his campaign were ~fisticuffs and vitu-
peration.
Here probably is the primary at It's worst. while lately
in Texas with the defeat Of MA" Ferguson, the primary
operated at its best to relieve q tired and harassed cleo
torate. s4
Those thousands and thousands Of plain people "back
up. the bayous" were for Long. They evidently like their
4'likker red' and their senators bold, reckless and pugna-
cious.
The dignified, useful, seasoned Senator Ransdell steps
down. He just drifted too far from the 'bayous and the
turpentine swamps-where they like to hear the welkin
ring and heads crack.
Long may give them the kind of amusement they are
looking for and even Helm and Blease won't be missed
ut Washington.

Sir Thomas Upton

Sir IhOmaS LlpLOn
Back in America again with Shamrock, the fftn' IN an
attempt to lift that old mug" is Sir Thomas hpvon' a
most interesting character. His perseverance makes one
wish that he would lift the cup and take it home with
him.
Those who have been following a very interesting series
If sketches. as related by Sir Thomas, in the Saturday
Evening Post, sense the fine character OF the man ana
his perennial good nature.
He has always been a good loser. It is estimated that
the various challenges have cost Sir Thomas some ten
millions. Some of it he can charge up to very profitable
advertising but not all OF 1t.
Despite the fact that he is a keen businessman, ne Is
also a game sportsman-he is not always thinking IN
terms Of tea. hams and bacon which he markets on a
grand scale for he probably is father OF the chain store
idea and one Of the first merchants to realize the great
pulling power of newspaper advertising.
Whatever the results of the Newport races, Sir Thomas
has the best wishes Of millions Of Americans and there
is just a wish among many that he lifts the old mug"
