There is no other certain way. The British ministry of reconstruction, by introducing rial order and multiplying the power of labor, i g to win and hold the markets of the world. An amaz ly common-sense plan for the foundation of the industrial proposes 16 public electric stations to furnish heat and power for all industry. Hard-headed engineers estimate that under this plan 5,000,000 tons of coal will produce as much power as the 19,000,000 now used. But the plan looks far beyond coal omy. “Tt is only by largely increasing the amount of power in industry (by two or more times),” says the report " the average output per head (and as a consequence i@ Wages of the individual) can be increased.” ‘The Britain of the future will rest on high wages and Production. She now employs 10,000,000 horsepower coal saved would produce 000,000 more. While bling the power of the worker, this would bring sweep economies in widely related fields. Relieving the railroads, canals and coast vessels of the oal traffic would be equivalent to adding one-third to present portation equipment vain of almost inestimable value y. Hitherto useless coal could be used, while the damage annoyance of smoke would disappear. The committee very modestly calculates that “all these and advantages can hardly be put at less than 000,000 per annum.” So one nation would meet its war debt, raise wages,! en hours, properly hotse its people and lift education to levels. Disregard of these lessons by the United States will industrial defeat abroad and industrial disorder at America can do these things better than England.

We can see and hear, and let senate, chosen without any reference to this momen-| question, do the voting.” It’s much worse than that. The folks can only look at listen to the senate on any momentous question. members are chosen by state, on state issues, as a rule, even on national issues, the people can change only -third of that body every second year.. A mere referen- im might mean nothing. Even if a third of the senate we chosen on a referendum ratifying that league consti- tion, ratification might be blocked, since two-thirds of senate vote is necessary to confirmation. In several aspects our so-called upper house at Wash- on is as undemocratic as a Hun bundesrat. “Force to the uttermost” did the job. The same instrument much clinch the nails if we would avoid a repair job later. nk Examiner’s Salary The senate at Olympia yesterday voted to examiner’s salary from $3,000 to $5,000. » Which calls’ to mind that the bank examiner is the chap who is guardian now of the Northern Bank funds— and the depositors are still holding the sack. _ _ It is hard to reconcile the extreme delay in paying up rightly belonging to the men and women who deposits in the Northern, with efficiency and good toward the public. The Star is not an opponent of paying men better y be Pi ge raise the ’ But any public official who is thus to be rewarded ought to produce results. From the standpoint of thousands, left without funds en the bank examiner took over the Northern bank, has not made good. One trouble with our standards is that we think apending is prosperity, whereas true prosperity is gouged by savings ban Future generations may wonder what induced us to think organized killing more righteous than little private jobs of murder. ehrlichial When the French try to focus on our idealism, a they see the Thing that lives next door to them, and remember that it knows no ideal but force. Discontent is not occasioned by the little that we have, but bu the much that the other fellow has.
