And this in the face of living expenses advancing in stead of declining; this in the face of governmental advices of a general trend upward in commodities. Xotaii ad vance ly the producer hut by the broker; not an advance bi the retailer, but br the jobber and wholesaler. The government draws its knife onthc wage earner but it has nut drawn that knife upon the army of office men who neither toilTior. spin, but live in luxury on what is called "business", which to them means luxuriant of fices, elegant homes, lives of almost complete idleness. In that class is where the slack in the rope exists; offices, buildings by the score in every city are tenanted by men whom society can well afford to get along withoilt. Count less middlemen take from the products tlrtit which they are not entitled to, until the consumer who alter all, is the man who works gets the products they are so high that his wages go but a short way round. Our government probably has the best intentions when it says a start must be made in reducing radroat operating costs, and therefore the shopmen's department. as designated a,s the first slash, but it is. failing to get at the seat of the trouble. . Why reduce men who are not getting more than a fair living wage when the cc'iitry is filled wilh thosi who do not work, but who live bett-.r than those who do I- Jieduce the swollen ranks of the idlers, eliminate that part of so called "business" that enables a great, army of loalers toxkeep Jattv Aibuckle luxuries and there will lie nu occasion to cu,t the waics of the man in the shops who is actuallv rendering a service to societv; who is doing something in the great scheme of life that needs to be done; who onlv asks that he m:iy earn sufficient by the sweat (it his brow to have comforts of life; who only asks that his children may be educated; that his faimly may have things like other people. Our government can hit the purple center of success if it will shrink the gulf beween producer and consumer. It call render a service of lasting value if it wiil put its ex perts oil the real problem of life rather than penalize the man who is willing and actually does w'rk.
