Q.-It seems to me | have seen
somewhere record of an American
Federation of Labor as to attainment
of an ideal state of society. Am |
right?
An 1895 the A. F. of L. con-
vention said, "The ideal state of So
ciety or government aimed at by state
socialists, philosophical anarchists,
populists, single takers and others
should not be permitted to stand in
the way of immediate and practical
efforts, because the ideal state of So
ciety hoped for only can be reached,
if ever it is reached, by an educa-
tional, evolutionary process, which
means too great delay to suit the
masses of our wage earners, who are
asking for relief from the ills of to-
day rather than agitatng for reforms
that will secure the comfort and hap
piness of coming generations" There
may be better declarations, but in
any event it is one of the most per-
tinent.

Tractors, gang plows, riding culti-
vators, seeders, reapers, thrashing
machines.
Bata and men like him are lifting
the Balkans out of the swamps of
semi -barbarism.
And they are doing it with ma
chimes.
Meanwhile-they furnish a problem
for the nations whose standard of
living is already set upon the basis
of machine production.
There are some alleged leaders of
industry and finance who don't see
this.
They are too narrow between the
eyes: They miss the perspective en-
tirely.
There are bankers who think Amer
leans can use the processes of wage
production.
And at the same time live on the
level of the "Man With the Hoe"
Those fellows are fussing with
dynamite
That combination is loaded with
TINT!
France might do it--for while
England is revolving at it right
now.
But Americans-will not wait for
the word from Russia. Or follow that
crazy method.
But plenty today say, Damn the
machines
See what they have brought US to-
We are all getting to be just at
tachments for some apparatus.
There is no such thing any more
as mechanic.
There are no jobs for about $4,000
machinists.
And these are the ones who make
the machines that make the machines
The rest of us run the machines turn
ed out by the Woodworking tools.
There is no chance for pride of
craftsmanship-artistry Of design.

We tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes hippantly.
sometimes recklessly.

Every now and then groups of pro-
tessors break into prominence by at
taching their signatures to some doc
ument or other.
Generally they are wrong.
AS for example, more than 800 of
them have just signed plea for rec
ognition of the Russian soviets, OF
these some 40 are college and uniyer-
sity presidents.
The plan is to be presented to the
president-elect after election.
When that many college professors
can be got to sign a plea for recog-
milton of the most autocratic regime
on earth, it is time to begin to sus-
pect that maybe all is not well with
our colleges.
The fact that we'll over 3O0-the
number is said to be nearer 400.
teachers in institutions of so-called
higher learning go as plumb loco as
to demand that this democracy enter
into fraternal relations with the soviet
regime of autocracy, butchery and en-
slavement, should arouse tho,le who
send boys and girls to college to some
serious thinking.
We are supposed to respect pro-
fessors. They are supposed to have
brain power and they are supposed
to be intellectually honest.

1t may be pointed out that social
lst city administrations have not prov
ed themselves TO be REVOLUTIONARY.
True enough, for many reasons. City
charters limit what cities can do. for
instance, and city administration
cannot change its own charter. There
never has been a socialist state ad-
ministration.
There is no reason to misunderstood
socialist aims. They ARE revolution
ary. And, moreover, if by any i'm
possible freak of chance Mr.. Thomas
should be elected, the socialist party
would become the government, just as
the communist party became and is
the government in Russia.
But why do we worry along discuss.
ing this thing? The polls, or straw
votes, indicate no great sweep to the
arm and torch Of Mr. Thomas, or to
Mr.. Foster. The truth is, sad though
1T may be to those whose living is in
revolutionary propaganda, the United
States is bent on repairing the dam
age, not on tearing down the whole
structure.
And, as we scan reports from the
rest of the world, we seem to be
moving faster toward that goal than
nations in which socialism is much
stronger than it is in the United
States.

SHARE-WORK
Movement Saves Jobs For
Many

New York City (ILNS)-Working
with the share-work movement in
augurated by President Hoover and
which is under the chairmanship of
Walter C. ,Teagle, General Motors
announced this week that the corpor-
atoms New York and Detroit Offices
would go at once on the five-day
week This move, President Alfred
P. Sloan said, would Undoubtedly"
mean expansion, but to an undeter-
mined extent
Chairman Teagle, in radio broad
cast, said that his own company.
Standard Oil of New Jersey, had saw
ed the jobs of 48,6O0 employees by in
PRODUCTION of the five-day week. Dis
cussing the short week, Mr.. Teagle
said:
"More than 5000 concerns, mostly
in manufacturing industries, have af-
ready put it into practice success
fully, and an estimate places at
100000 the number of workers who
would have been out of work now
but for the adoption of some form
OF part time job sharing. The Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany has put this plan into effect
in the last year, and Walter S. Gif-
ford, president of the company, told
US the other day that it's operation
had saved the jobs of $4,000 persons
whom the company would have had
to dismiss had it not been for work
sharing"

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

There are places on earth yet where
people do most of their work by hand
India is one Of thenl-China another
Japan is rapidly changing from the
hand industry to the machine.
The Japanese level of living is ris-

But the Nipponese employers see
this with regret.
They want to keep their workers on
the Chinese level of life.
India is trying to get out of the
abyss of the ages
The chasm, down where men,

Some of the American farms are
becoming actually attractive.
Not all farmer boys and girls want
to leave the farm.
These All boys and girls are actu-

They are finding room for self

pigs.
Examine their exhibits at the
county fairs, and you'll see why.
But these boys and girls are possi-

Winnipeg Raises
Lab0rers' Wages

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Can.-Step-
ping firmly on the general clamor
for pay reductions of municipal en-
ployes, the Winnipeg city council in
creased the pay of city laborers from
40 to 42h cents an hour.
The increase was sponsored by la
Dor aldermen, who claimed that such
workmen did not as a rule get full
time work and received on an average
about $50 month, on which in many
cases large families had to be sup
ported

Some great turning wheels pump
out products by the ton.
What if they are more perfect, and
last longer?
Where is the chance for the express
sion of the individual?
Oh, yeah? Those were "the good
old days" that sounds ia
miliar. When 95 per cent were farm
erS.
They had to be, to get living
They worked by hand, every moth
er's son and daugter of them.
If that is what gives opportunity
for individual expression
Well--they had it; for they did not
even have a decent plow.
That was the day of "The Man
With the Hoe"
And the woman with the spinning
wheel;
And the cobbler who travelled
around the country.
There was a loom in every little
town.
People who grew cotton picked the
seeds out of the lint by hand.
Those who grew wool washed their
own fleece, combed and carded and
then spun.
And the product of this individual

woolsey.

To Voters and Taxpay.
erS of Pine County

l have never been a politician nor,
until a short time ago, have l ever
dreamed of filing for public office. !
have been too busy making a living
and studying economy in the school
of painful necessity.
Candidates for office usually blame
their friends for prodding them into
filing, and in my case l must say that
| have been urged to throw my hat
in the ring and do my duty as citi-
zen, but mostly the sight of the dis
tressed and overwhelmed taxpayers
has moved me to offer my services,
believing that l may be able to do
little to ease the strain.
One of the safeguards of a republi-
can form of government is a reason
able rotation in office. Our great Con-
stitution provides for it. George
Washington set the wise and noble
example of two terms only for the
presidency, and not even the most
ambitious of his followers have dared
to set aside this precedent.
If it is a privilege to hold office
for this honor; if it is a duty to
hold office then we should each take
share of the burden and not force
some one person to give a lifetime
of service.
However, l think that it is good
business sense to put the response
| bility of making good in office on
fresh men every so often as l believe
| man fresh from the toiling public
that strives and suffers to pay the
| bills, will bring into the office a new
| viewpoint and more nearly represent
the people who sent him there.
"a new broom sweeps clean," said
urge you to buy new broom semi
| occasionally at least. Do not use the
old one until it is all worn off to a
thin point at one end.
The best of men will get into a
rut if left too long in any position
without a strong reminder that he
has to hustle and try to earn his
salary by conducting the business in
business-like way and for the finan-
cial interest of the people who hire
him. For after all public officer is
just a hired man, and we, who vote
him into office are his employers, and
have right to make a change.
l am asking you to hire me as your
| judge of probate for the next four
years. Let me exercise my privilege
and duty as U. S. citizen in your
service. will honestly try to attend
| to your business, to the best of my
| ability.
Sincerely yours,
w. R. Newman.
