Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Your motto is
Show the people the light and
they will see the way" Your paper
sure does not believe in the motto.
If it did, you surely would expose
this chain store menace that has
gripped this state and the nation.
Chain this and chain that, is all
you hear. They hire men at star
walton wages. They draw the public
into their stores ana skin them
alive. If you would devote half the
space in your paper that you do to
politics to this menace, what real
paper you would have.
You exposed Stephenson, Coffin,
Jackson and the rest of the political
crowd. Let's see if you have CUTS
enough to show the light on this
menace. If you have not, we know
the reason. You are part Of the
chain gang yourself. I don't think
you will even print this, but you
know my feelings.

April 16
NN April 16, 1917, President
~ Wilson issued his war econo-
mics proclamation, in which he
drew attention to the fact that the
United States would in the COM
ing year be called upon not only
to feed its own people and army,
but also to make very large con-
tributions to the feeding of Eng
land, France and Italy. He ap-
pealed to all Americans to help
increase production.
at is evident to every think
ing man." said the President in
his proclamation, that our indus
tries, on the farms, in the ship
yards, in the mines, in the fac
tories must be made more pro-
life and more efficient than ever,
and that they must be more eco
nomically managed and better
adapted to the particular require
ments of our task than they have
been; and what I want to say is
that the men and women who de-
vote their thought and their
energy to these things will be
serving the country and conduct
ing the fight for peace and free
dom just as truly and just as ef-
fectively as the men on the battle
field or in the trenches"

The Bonus Wrangle

a CCORDING to Charles M.
L N Schwab, promoter, founder and
head of Bethlehem Steel, the bonus
system, especially for a few chief
executives, is the way to get re-
suits.
His idea would be impressive were
Bethlehem Steel not running at
about SO per cent capacity, and were
Bethlehem stock not down around
so. Maybe Bethlehem stockholders
have gained something through the
the thirty-six million dollars dished
out to twenty-one executives during
the last fourteen years, and, again,
maybe they didn't.
It's one of those problems which
you can't prove, but it represents a
very important phase of our indus
trial system, particularly if wide
spread stock ownership is to become
the rule.
1t is one thing to invite the public
to participate in the earnings of
vast enterprises, but it is quite an
other to dissipate Is or 20 per cent
Of those earnings in the form of
bonuses without letting the public
know about it.

Thousands Are Hay Fever Victims

people with hay fever, vasomotor

Since about 80 per cent Of peo-

An Antidote

a ND after setting down the next
IA few paragraphs I think I will
nibble on something to take the bad
taste from my mouth. For here is q
dispatch from the town of Hoquian,
in the state of washington:
-Four juvenile thieves received
five lashes each upon their bare
backs yesterday, the blows being adj
ministered by the Rev. T. T. Love,
probation officer and pastor of the
Lutheran church
1.-THE pastor made the lash of
three willow wands bound with a
leather thong. After each blow he
held his watch for three minutes,
giving the youths time to contem-
plate before the next application.
Instead Of looking into the souls
of the four boy culprits 1 think it
might be better for the community
to consider the Rev. T. F. Love and
try to ascertain just what circum-
stances have brought him to his
present state and what can be done
to cure his tendencies.

Bad for Stockholders

MTO one doubts the efficacy of
IL bonuses, prizes, and rewards,
but there is reason i'll all things.
When a man, drawing salary of
$4,000 a year, gets more than
$1,600,000 as a bonus, it just doesn't
lcok reasonable.
Either he deserved more salary,
or less bonus.
And when he gets such an enor-
nous largess as the result of a
system which had been going on
more than a decade, which the
stockholders knew nothing about,
and which was brought to light only
by law suit, it just doesn't look
like an open, candid way of split
ting the pot.
Not arguing whether Mr.. Schwab
is right in asserting that such Sys-
tenn was indispensable to develop
ment of Bethlehem Steel, it rests
on a theory Of finance which will
cause many people to prefer life
insurance or savings bank accounts
to stock investments.
If a board of directors can di-
vert Is or 20 per cent of the earn
ings of a company to pay bonuses,
without so much as "by your leave
from the stockholders, why not all
the earnings?
The naive hypothesis that boards
Of directors and principal stock
holders always will be guided by
what is best for the company, has
failed too many times for any one
but a natural-born sucker to put
much faith in it.

MISS HULDA KLOENNE wants
1V1 to ask a question. She is in
terested in ascertaining whether
writer's are addicted to candy dur
ing their working hours.
Here is her note:
1.-THE National Confectioners' As
ISOLATION has given me the rather
appealing task of finding out how
many writer's make practice of
eating candy while they are work
ing at the typewriter or with pen
and pencil.
1.-THE discussion was started by
the Brussels correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, who recently star
tied the literary world by declaring
that Anatole France did his best
work when a friend locked him in
his room and gave him a piece of
candy every time he finished a page
of copy.
II know several writer's who say
that nibbling candy stimulates the
flow Of ideas, especially when their
mental energies begin to flag, and
recent research at Colgate univer-
sity proved that candy gives relief
from mental as well as physical IA
tigue.
ITO settle point like this there
is nothing like the good old ques-
tionnaire method, and hope you
will spare time to write me about
your own experience and opinions.
II am making this request of a
number of other writer's and shall
be glad to tell you about the results
of my inquiry"

Where Is the LogiC2

IF republicaniSm could be &C

happiness, the millennium would
be just around the corner.
But look at China, at the revolu-

South America, or, to come little
closer home, look at Nicaragua.
Nine Americans dead, 300 in
danger, a cruiser landing marines,

Engineering Problems

. ECENTLY the American Engi-
neering council pointed out the
need Of intensive study Of the prob
lens involved in methods of con-
struction of shock-resisting build
ings, bridges, and other structures.
The problem is receiving the
greatest attention today from the
earthquake research institute of thu
Imperial university of Toxic. The
japanese government recognized the
necessity of such study immedi-
ately alter the terrible disaster Of
Sept. 1, 1923.
An important feature of this
study has.b been the examination of
regions which suffered quakes. to
see which types of structures sur
vived the shock and which were de-
stroyed.
John r. Freeman, past president
OF the American Society of Civil
Engineers, says that an earthquake
reveals Immediately the difference
between good and bad engineering
One important feature of all the
great quakes throughout the world
has been their remarkable selection
OF inferior design and poor work

rigidity than is required simply to
prevent the building from becoming
