LIFE BEGINS AT $25OO A YEAR

When John L. Lewis says the general wage for unskled labor could easily be S2500 year, the aver age citizen is likely to think Lewis is talking through his hat
 Yet Lewis view is perfectly sane and sensible In fact is the only and sensible view for those who understand our business system and wish it to continue it's progress.
 That wage level could not be attained overnight Our present productive capacity is great enough to support only 20 percent buying than done in the prosperous year of 1929. If bottom wage levels raised to $25OO year prices would because

of scarcity and the wage increase would mean little m actual purchasing power.
 But Lewis is not talking about an overnight n- crease UnGkilled workers generally could be gwen S25OO within very few years policy Of steadily ITS ing wages was pursued And that $250O would mean purchasing power in terms of the present or at least the 1926-dollar.
 At the present time 20 million American families or Fl percent have incomes of less than $2500.
 The income group from 0 to $950 year goes into debt or exists on charity the group from 950 to S2oO saves nothing the group from $1250 to $2450 saves from to II percent of it's income
 To "save" really means to invest money in pro- ductve enterprise Thus if the income of 70 percent of our workers who can save little nothing is raised the point where they join the saving group three things are accomplished
 l. Markets for products are increased enormously.
 g. New savings are made available to pay for the machinery to make those products
 3. A much larger percentage of the public Is pro- tected by it's savings.
 The Brookings Institution found that in 1929 the American people had income of $77 O00 100000 and saved $15, 100000 of that Under the wage con- ditions prevailing then the rate of saving actually too high. The nation could not afford to money that fast.
 Why? Because wages were not increasing fast the productive capacity, and had crisis of ov reproduction"
 Of that $15,OOO, 100000, no less than $13OOO OOO- 900 was saved by persons with incomes of $46OO or
 
 In other worlds virtually all national invest ment from group representing only 10 percent of the population whose expenditures for goods amount ed to only 62 percent of their total income.
 Obviously, such economy is unbalanced.
 If the Fl percent of the population earning less than $2500 raised to that figure, sume that they would be able to 12 percent of their incomes or $6,000 ,000 Savings also would increase in the groups above $25OO and within few years the productive capacity of the nations industry and agriculture could be doubled without fear of production.
 A pipe dream? America has done it before.
 In the days of industrial pioneering we increas- creased production at pace formerly considered in credible and that increased production justified by a rapidly expanding population.
 Now it can be justified only by rapidly advancing wages
 We can't stop. Production and wages must both rise-or both go backward Philadelphia Record.

WHY NOT BETTER MAIL SERVICE FOR
 THE KOUGAROK?

The U. S. Mail goes to the Kougarok section from Nome month. That is the term of the contract, and unless someone calls at the post office here for mail for Kougarokers they don't receive any until another month goes by-and yet aifpanes flying to fields in that section sometimes often three or four times a week, and on an average of twice each week.
 The Kougarok section has, during this past sum- mer, has seen more constructive development work, exploration actual production of gold than for the past twenty years
 The men who developing the country get by in that section best they can, with only once-a-nonth mail
 However, they all criticize the manner in which this district is left with only mail trip month It slows up business affairs and transactions of all kinds they say They do business chiefly by airplane, and that is costly, and yet the planes cannot carry all of their mail, being restricted to first class letter mail only More and more people going into the Koug arok secton and the need of better mail service is becoming more pronounced every day.
 How can Nome hope to carry modern business with this vast gold-producing section when the mail only goes into the region month? It is pro- bem which Nome should look into It's citizens in teresed in the constructive uplifting of the country then let them get together and work for improved mail service into the Kougarok. The need is great, and there is great need

 Proud of His Vote

They don't tell you that for every dollar you contribute, your employer must pu in q dollar. Tn their desperate effort to win they are willing to do anything to frighten the people"
 A few hours earlier, on the same Brown school platform, Walter E. Patterson, republican nominee for first district congressman, accused Kopplemann of fghing with "nee. dles and spitballs."

 "Giving full consideration to all of the information which IS avail" able to me at this time from polls and from personal reports which have come to me from representa-. tives of the national committee In the field and from state leaders, I unhesitatingly predict the election of Gov.

 The president uses the postoffice department to distribute den1ocra- tic campaign literature, Townsend charged.
 T make these charges against President Roosevelt personally, De. cause he is the executive head or the postoffice department and the U. s. government printing office," Townsend said.
 Townsend urged his followers to vote for William Len1ke, Union Party presidential candidate, and for Ali M. Landon, republican nom- inee, in states where Letnke Is not on the ballot, ito make sure or Roosevelts defeat"

 "I wouldn't go so far as to say MT.

 The women and children were waiting to buy sugar, rationed be- cause of the siege, in front of grocery store in the Vallecas work ing class quarter in the south side suburbs when the air alarm siren sounded.
 No plane could be seen because of the clouds. But as the group hud- died in fear, the bombs smashed down upon them.
 At least five bombs were dropped in the Vallecas quarter and others dropped in two streets in the Don Carlota district. Damage was con- siderable. rsSkpeN Fascist snipers, resuming activity after weeks of silence, wounded two militiamen on patrol during the nights curfew hours. All occupants
