Here was a nominal increase of 77 per cent nm five years. Stated in another form, the income aver- age grew from $354 to $586, or 65 per cent. \ “But forthwith the bureau properly admonishes the public to interpret th: gures in the light of the decline in the dollar's purchasing power. Thus in- erpreted, the income average of 1918 was not $586, out only $372—an increase of not 65 per cent but about 5S per cent. benefit of the community.

Therefore it should not slone be the pleasure but it is the imperative duty of the whole people to uphold the hands of those upon whom the direct responsibility rests. Wise men prove their fitness for the places to which they hav been chosen by leaving the bittern of the campaign at the threshold when they enter office. Fools carry it with them, make a fetish of it and de- stroy their usefulness. The earnestness developed during the campaign is evidenced in the voting today. It is taken as an omen that the people will continue their interest in public aff which, it is feared, they have somewhat neglected in the past.
