Farm Income

How much equality actually have in country is
clearly shown study of farm income for 1912 recently
completed by the Department of Agriculture.
While the cash income of farmers reached altme
high last the results of the study discoses that fifty
all United States had incomes from
their work of less than 1919 for the and their aggregate
farming income only 26 cent of the farming income
of all of the farmers of the country and the top half received
1873 per of the total income of which the top 80 cent
of the upper half garnered 64.4 per cent
The ten cent of the farmers had incomes averag
ing $50 for the year. while the bottom 10 cent
$185 less for their years labor Putting in
centage figures the report shows that the upper 10 cent
the received 81 cent of the total net cash income
while the 10 per cent of the farmers received fourtenths
per cent of the total net cash farming income for the
year 1912.
The report states that the income of the lower in
proportion than the income of the higher
groups Despite this circumstance should be evident to
everyone concerned in the least with fair and just return for

Berlin. His heart had grown callous
to the murder of millions Of helpless
people going on in Europe. He has
not read Mein Kampf in which the
raving sign painter threatens Amer
lea with conquest.
But, with all that, Wheeler was for
10 years in the senate a fairly good
public servant. He is now aged men
tally; he is entitled to all the respect
due to age, and subject to its newt
able infirmities, even though in the
past five years, HE HAS DONE AS
MUCH HARM to the United States as
Quisling has done in Norway.
These mimeograph mentors may
have some merit; however, one denied
being premature with their work on
Wheeler. She said 1.-THE people
should be warned against his folly.
He is a chatterbox He is just as
dangerous now trying to bring dissen-
sion among the Allies with his ignor-
ant statements about Russia as he
was when, to show how smart he was,
he disclosed a military secret that
our troops were on the expedition to
Iceland. His inability to keep his
mouth shut then might have cost the
lives Of 10000 of our boys"
The lady's argument has some mer-
it. We should, Of course, not let our
respect for age, and it's infirmities,
endanger the nation. The pro-Nazis
and pro-Fascists in America are not
dead; they are not even converted
they are merely submerged. They
are just are hungry to run this coun-
try as ever They are we'll organized
Their best hope to get going again"
is to divide the Allies, to help their
old friends in Germany, France, Nor
way, Italy survive. Fascism is a
world wide movement Once a Fas-
cist always a Fascist, is pretty good
working formula.

STUDIES In MAIN STREET DIVINITY
BY JOHN STAHLBERG

There are wise people who talk
knowingly and complacently
about the working classes, and sat
isfy themselves that +. intellectual
work is very much harder than :.
manuel toll, and is righteously en-
titled to much bigger pay -. They
know all about the one, but haven't
tried the other. But l know all
about both; and there isn't
money enough to hire me to swing
a pick-ax thirty days, but I will do
the hardest kind of intellectual
work for just as near nothing as
you can cipher it down"
Mark Twain
*
We hear a tremendous volume of
chatter these days about the necessity
and nobility of hard work, and the
selfishness of every thought of pay.
Most of it comes from politicians,
kept editors, and other idlers and sab
oteurs. What they mean, once you
manage to exhume the essential idea
from the depths of the rhetoric, is the
necessity of lower pay for everyone
but themselves. How tragic, they cry,
their pure cheeks wet with willing
tears, that ditchdigger should re-
ceive SO much when our fighting men
receive so little! Surely laborer
should not expect to be paid for help
ing equip the man at the front, who

needs equipment so sorely! There
excuse for raising the price Of the
gagdet they sell or the subscription
rate of the newspaper they publish.
The Missoula Sentinel, the sheet
which inspires the religious awe with
which I contemplate all daily papers,
has twice raised its subscription price
since the Great Trouble started; but
no one has yet caught it's editor sob
| bling into his soup because HE re-
ceives higher pay than the man at
the front. Moreover, though he has
announced that the time has come to
stop talking and go to work, for him
only rigor mortis could accomplish
the first objective and nothing in
Heaven or on Earth could persuade
him to the latter. If l could believe
him sincere, l would gladly equip him
with pick and shovel at my own ex-
pense.
Obviously the present is a time for
hard, steady, determined labor The
farm hands, coal beavers, and ditch
diggers of the nation have recognized
and accepted that fact with damned
little surprise and wholly without
fuss. Those already at work have
continued working, and all others
have gone to work, not because they
itched to display their nobility but
because work is what they wanted to
do. The fatuous fanfare and bombast
from other sources may sometimes
have drowned out the sober sounds of
labor, but the labor has continued just
the same.
Advice, if practical, and exhorta-
ton, if to the purpose, may be right
and proper. But let us please have it
from someone who has more than
hearsay acquaintance with toll. A
farm hand threshing wheat for II
hours a day (as l did myself when l
was 15) may conceivably benefit by
being urged (as we were urged them
to save the shelled-out grain on the
floor of his wagon. A laborer walk
ing 10 miles to his job or digging coal
from dark to dark in a shallow vein
may be better off for pointer or
two on how to keep his shoes and his
tools in repair. But let us have it
from someone who knows what it
means to get up at 2:30 am. and walk
10 miles to work.
If it could be proved that a stand
ard workday of IL hours and a stand
ard daily wage of one dollar here at
home would enable our brothers
whether blood brothers or union
in Italy and New Guinea to
light without risk to themselves and
heir equipment, we would adopt the
change with alacrity. But when we
ire informed by a patriot whose dis
inguished pants have seldom parted
company with the cushion on his
hair, that nothing but exhaustion
md poverty for us and ease and COM
ort for him can save the world, what
re we to think except that too wor-
hipful a concentration on his own
excellence has driven him potty?
