The Kemmerer Coal company has announced its intention of caring for and assisting the families of the dead miners, in addition to whatever com- pensation is awarded under the statutes. And this brings up the whole question of com- pensation and the fairness generally to corpora tions and employers under its operation. There is| a feeling throughout the state, that there should} be a clause in the law granting an option to em- ployers cither to operate under the law or to in-| sure their employes through some reputable and! sound private concern, As the law now stands the compensation fund is contributed to by all employ- in neerns within the state on a basis of one and a half per cent of the pay roll. Hazardous ovcuy ons, occupations in which no real hazard exists ke, All contribute to the one} fund and th have a proportionate interest.

That it should be pretty much! ug the lines of the existing law is agreed to by but “ot it should contain an option clause such as qyested is believed by an incresing num: | ber of employers engaged in the less hazardous business. employment The Natural Law Price reductions in gasoline are saving American motorists approximately $500,000,000 a year. And what brought this reduction, Not political interference or regulation of the industry but sim. ply an ovyer-production of crude oil in California, ‘and other fields. ! No oil company or combination of companies, had ‘bere been one, could have prevented the drop. Wigh prices for crude oil encouraged production @uring recent years to abnormal proportions with .'resulting over supply and present low prices for something which is a drug on the market. You cannot stop the working of the law of supply . and demand—not even Senator Brookhart, La Fol- ‘Jett, Johnson or congress itself. | Tf the price is too low production falls off, if it jis too high production increases beyond ability of fmarket to absorb output. Or if the price is abnor- ‘mally high, consumption falls off. Any way you { ‘figure it the result is the same and is governed by Sthe law of averages. It will be the same with wheat, corn, hogs or ny other commodity. The politicians can talk about price fixing until they are black in the face, ‘ait will never satisfy either the farmer or con- ! sumer. Either a fixed price will be too. low for one and high for the other or vise versa. | Oil is now furnishing a perfect illustration and| is letting all the “political gas” out of the tanks of candidates who were getting ready to barbecue| the industry in their efforts to “befriend” the peo-| ple and incidentally secure their votes. It was un Bind of mother nature to take a hand, Blight of Standardization Charles W. ot, president emeritus of Harvard university has warned the country on a matter that has for a number of years been the goal of ef- sort in most lines, educational and industrial. He Buys: “A new blight is afflicting education and indus- tries in the United Sta particularly the educa: tional part of industri Its name is standard- ization, and there is very general movement to give it application in a great yaricty of American activities. The blight seems to have started in the industrial domain. save time, and therefore money, and to increase the productiveness of a given plant, the movements of the individual oper: ative were carefully studied with a view to reduce the number of his movements and changes of pos ture, and to increase the automatic and repetitive quality of his work, The object was larger produc: at lower cost, and this object was gained; but the inevitable result was the destruction of the interest of the workman in his work. For the life long interest of the handworker in the varied pro ducts of his skill was substituted the intolerable duliness of tending machinery on a standardized “st program, “Soon standardization began to affect the school and college programs, the conditions of admission to college, and the qualifications for degrees, It limited injuriously freedom of election of studies To Mute testimony of a/| mos ) " of a/fact that now the Germans are treating Bergdoll, (the slacker and deserter, as if he were a hero. But lin both stricted and the expedient liberties of pupils and students were also confined. “It is obyious that standardization has become a dangerous adversary of progress in both education nd industry. The ideal in education is to develop the utmost possible variety of individual attain- variety of capacity in the indivdual citizen. Uni- in the attainment of skill, and therefore gs, leads. not to joy in work but to dis- content and unhappiness in the worker. The true educational goal is the utmost development of the individual’s capacity or power, not in childhood and adolescence alone, but all through life. Fixed legislatures as it is in schools and factories. It is intelligence, or productive capacity, but never “It will be for the happiness of the American people to look carefully into the effects of stand- ardization in both the national education and the national industries. It has already gone too far. Although some pecuniary economies can be affected by standardizing processes in both schools and fac- | tories, their physical and moral effects are unques- |tionably bad. As soon as any process in state or church proves to be injurious to the physical or mental quality of the population a genuine demo- cracy should set to work to modify or suppress it. “The reason that the majority of the American people is today unchurched is that the various Christian denominations or church institutions from the first century to the nineteenth set up fix- |ed standards of belief and practice based on what was supposed to be final revelations. Since experi- | mental science began about 150 years ago, to con- | tribute powerfully to the progress of mankind, | those fixed standards in the church haye become discredited among thinking people, but, since the | Teligious instinct is universal and irrepressible in man, a diligent search is now going on for a church free from standardization. This search and |the co-operative management of the fundamental |industries are the most promising efforts of the| | twentieth century.” ‘They Regard Him as German Almost as queer as the fact that during the war t of the pacifists were pro-German is the other es an explanation can be found. Our pacifists had to deny most of the charges |made against the Germans, or at least to insist) that they were no worse than the French, or the British, or the Italians, for that gave a basis for their claim that the United States should not en- ter the conflict. : The Germans like Bergdoll because they think of him not as an American, but as another German who chanced to be in an enemy country and acted there just as a good German should—refused to take up arms against his fellow countrymen, was jeruelly persecuted for his patriotism, and at last lescapes to his real home. To them, therefore, he is |neither a slacker nor a deserter. If he were either in their eyes, they, as a highly militant people, de-| manding instant sacrifice even of life by the in-| dividual citizen at the call of the state, would have | to hate and despise him. That he has brought not a little real money into Germany, and has spent it freely, may have had something to do with his popularity, but he would haye been welcome if only as a man who had done exactly as all German-Americans were expected to do—and didn't. There is next to no chance that the Germans will heed a demand for his extradition, made by our state department and Secretary Hughes rightly calls the problem delicate. Kidnapping schemes are almost sure to fail and they only embitter feelings ‘| already bitter enough. If Bergdoll had any sense, he would come back voluntarily take the not very severe punishment that awaits him and at least get back the very com- fortable remnant of his fortune. Less Earned But More Wages Mr. Samuel Gompers was not altogether ingen- uous in his remarks about the diminution of work- ing hours in the steel industry. As disproof of the assertion that the men like a twelve hour day, he pointed to the fact that, according to company reck- oning, the change will increase labor costs by $43,- 000,000 a year. As that amount goes into the pay enyelopes Mr. Gompers held it preposterous that the workers would object to it. He is right as to the larger sum to which the wage total will rise, but he very well knows that the individual worker whose day js shortened will find less in his individual pay envelope at the week’s end than he did before. It, therefore, is not preposterous to think that somo of the men who have been working twelve hours a day view the re- form with disfavor and some apprehension. If their wage for eight hours were to be what it was for twelve, then the deduction of Mr.’ Gompers from the increased cost of production would be sound in- stead of fallacious. But is it quite sure that the cost of production | will be increased by increasing the total amount to be paid for it? There is at least a chance that men working eight hours a day will do both more and better work than they did when practically all of their waking hours were used up by their tasks. Have Faith in America What is it to be an American? Putting aside all the outer shows of dress and manners, social customs and physical peculiarities, is it not to} believe in America, and in the American people? Is it not to have an abiding and moving faith in the future and in the destiny of America?—some- thing above and beyond the patriotism and love which every man whose soul is not dead within him feels toward the land of his birth? Is it not to be national, and not sectional; independent and not colonial? Is it not to have a high conception of what this great new country should be, and to follow out that ideal with loyalty and truth? — Henry Cabot Lodge. The Weight of Tax Mortgage The general burden of national, state and local taxation has increased 134 per cent—more than doubled— since 1912. Farm taxes have increased 126 per cent since 1914. increased 126 per cent since 1914, Tex-exempt bonds have not paid one cent of this increased burden, The amount of tax-exempt bonds increases every year. The taxation mortgage grows bigger every year. If future issues of bonds are made subject to income taxes, the debt can be reduced and the taxes made lighter, in both school and college. It also affected the method of instruction in every school or college course, particularly in the lower or more tary courses. Thereby the liberty of the individual teacher, particularly in the lower grades was re emen-}to decide whether they will permit It is up to American taxpayers and consumers bad condition to that a change be made for the better by taxing bonds now exempt, yw worse or insist Tax-exempt bonds have} it act with cess. mally any do 80, Wobblies Quit are gone.
