The Pro Campaign

The pro football season of 1913 has
picked up, after remembered FASH
ion, just about where it left off q
year ago.
It is still matter of the western
clubs heading of Chicago's Bears In
the West-with the eastern delega-
ton checking Washington Red
skins.
These are still the two clubs to
surround and cut down If there is to
be any change in the next cham
pionship game, meaning East versus
West.
Pete Cawthorn of the Dodgers, q
high grade coach, never had a
chance. All he had left was Bruiser
Kinnard and one or two others.
The Bears and Redskins were the
class from the start, with Green Bay,
Detroit's Lions and the Giants
crowding IN Also the Steagles or

WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO OUR M DAY
Released by Western Newspape,

LlNLD
TO OUR M DAY
BILL JONES had a good job,
especially for a young man. On
graduation from college, with an en-
gineering degree, he had found en-
ployment with large construction
concern. He seemed to have an as
sured future.
Then came the draft law and Bill
was listed as la. Uncle Sam said he
was to go into the army. The pay
would be $50 a month with clothes
and food. The hours would be what
ever part of the IA of each week
might be called for. There would
be no overtime He would be on
the job every day and hour unless
an army doctor pronounced him
III. He would go where he was told
to go and do what he was told to do.
Bill did not object. To defend
the country when called upon was a
responsibility of citizenship. He gave
UP job paying 500 a week and
cheerSllly accepted the one at $50
q month.
Bill Brown, too, had job, as a
mechanic IN a plant making air
planes. It was good job as meas
ured by standards of that time, pay
ing s35 week of 48 hours. As the
making of airplanes was an essen
tial industry Bill was listed as 4B
and told to stay where he was. Be-
cause of federal laws, to stay on the
job he was forced to join a union,
and the plant could work only 40
hours a week The other 104 hours
OF each week were at his disposal to
do with as he pleased. He did not
have to produce a doctors say-so
should he fail to show UP for a por-
ton of the prescribed 40 hours. The
union he had been forced to join
demanded that Bill be paid $50 a
week, and later that il be again
increased to $50. Then the govern
ment decreed that, as war emer-
gency, he must work 48 hours a
week, but that he must be paid time
and one-half for the extra eight
hours. It added up to S72 week,
approximately 1924 a month, in Bill s
pay envelope
Both Bills are citizens of the Unit
ed States. Both owe to the nation
the same obligations of citizenship.
While Bill Jones was losing a leg
IN the battle of Tunisia, Bill Brown,
by direction of his union bosses, was
out on strike carrying banner IN
a picket line, demanding another in
crease in pay which the government
saw to it that he received.
Had the once muchly advertised
"M' bill become a law, both Bills
would have been drafted. The one
to wear a uniform at $50 a month,
the other to wear overals at the
S35 a week he was then receiving,
and with as many hours work as
might be demanded.
That mp bill, had it become a
law, would have drafted the plant
as well as Bill Brown, the worker.
There would have been no excessive
price for the product of the plant,
and no profits. 1t would seem the
discarded and forgotten IN" bill
would have provided real democ-
racy of wartime. It would have
meant an "allout'' war on the part
of everybody, but those who seek
votes were afraid of what it might
do at the polls.

OTHER FELLOWS INCOME

THE DEPARTMENT OF COM
MERGE tells US the average indi-
vidual income was 24I per cent
higher in 1912 than IN 1941 and 61.5
per cent higher than In 1899. The
figures make US feel rich and are
undoubtedly correct but it is hard
to find the individual who will admit
they apply to him. It was the other
fellow who received the extra mon
ey. BY states the highest increase
was in Nevada, amounting to 66.s
per cent as between 1941 and AZ.
The lowest was IN New Hampshire,
where it was but 8.6 per cent. In
the central farming states it ranged
between 1913 per cent IN Illinois to
299 In Iowa, with general average
In those states of 21.7. Utah topped
all agricultural states with 496.
The government is taking consid-
cradle portion of the increase as
additional income taxes. That, with
a greater cost of living does not
leave most of US with any extra
spending money.

WHEN GOOD MEN FAIL


Even the best Of leaders make
mistakes. No one Is perfect
either in Judgment or execution.
Noses and Aaron had plenty Of
provacation for their impati-
ence and loss Of temper. The
complaining mood of the people
must have been constant drag
upon the faith and courage OF
their leaders. In spite of repeat
ed evidences of divine care and
guidance the Hebrews protest
ed at the slightest discomfort.
They had short memories and
were easily discouraged.
The weakness of Moses and
Aaron In this crisis appears in
the fact that, instead Of lead
ing, they were led by the peo-
pie. They allowed the general
mood of despair and protest TO
dominate their own thinking.
This is a common fault, and 1t
is likely to influence the wisest
of leaders. Mere physical weari-
ness may sometimes cause such
letdown in leadership that
the ideas OF the mob, rather than
the man, master the situation.

CORN GROWERS:
Reap Big Benefits

Corn belt farmers and western
wheat growers will get the lions
share of the $685., $780, 900 in benefit
payments to be distributed among
growers for complying with last
years federal crop control pro-
grams, it was indicated in a prelim-
mary report of the department of
agriculture on 1912 farm subsidies.
Southern cotton farmers will get
the smallest amount since 1886,
largely because of the improved
price position of this crop.
The departments figures disclosed
that payments to wheat farmers will
total $133, AT, 900, compared with
$107, 1853 for the 1941 crop. Corn
payments will amount to $188, 219,-
600, which is the record for that
crop. Payments on the 1871 crop
totaled $130, 1876, 900.
Cotton payments for 1912 will
amount to about $78, 1888 900, COM
pared with $184, 1857 900 in l941 and a
peak of $685. ,595 900 for the 1888 crop.
Until the 1912 crop year, cotton pay
ments exceeded those for any other
commodity.
