Seba EMrldge Declares That Every Person Able and Willing to Labor Should Have Place or Be Pro vided; With Income. NEW YORK. May 1. The smallest Income upon wmui ne arse v in v- Snirmari's family can live in Hew York in decency has been estimated at J800. Yet 00,000 families tn the city live on In comes less than that amount. This mvans that 100,000 families are under fed, overcrowded. r insufficiently clothed, or all these things put together, wrttet Seba Eldridge. a Brooklyn social voider, in an- article on "The Standard of Ltvltur tn New York. "Tit back j these statements there are t. following facts disclosed In a recenti investigation of the standard ol livine to New York. Of 200 families Btudied' in. 1903-4-5, 11 received incomes of $200 to J-400; 16. Incomes of J400 to S500: 16i 500 to IBOO: , oo to sivu; 27. $700 to S80; 25. $800 to $900; 19, $900 to tlOOO: 28, 100ft to J1200; 29, S1S00 or over. These families were fairly representatives of workingmen's families in the city generally. Twenty one and fivto-tentha per cent, more than one-fifth. ved on incomes less than $600: 3S per" cent, more than one-third, on incomes lfcsa than J700; 45.5 per cent. practically tne-bal, on Incomes less than $800. How It was estimated that an income of 720 a year was necessary to support a'v family in decency, and that if provision was to- be made for the rainv day. suo to suo was neces eary. Later Investigators have shown that the estimates were certainly not too high. . Many I.aciV Living- Wise "Accepting- thesle lignres. we are safe In savins: that onw-tnira or me wore inemen's families in New York do not have means sufficient for food, clothing, shelter and other nV-Cessaries, and that this one-third and .an additional one- sixth, or one-half 11.ltogeth.er, cannot eave for the time wAen support Is cut off by the death. Incapacitation, or forced unemployment of the breadwin ner. These percentages would place the number of families forced to main. tain subnormal standards of living at inn nnn .. .1 .v,;A miTrthn. t Vl o t cannot for the same reasvm provide for . contingencies tending no lower th standard of living at 150.AOO to iOO.OOO. "The standard or manner of living Is of course affected by mans things be sides income. The most itoportant of these other factors Is the coait of living, a high-sounding term for th prices w have to pay for the thingV we buy. Prices In New York, as elsewhere, hav soared higher and higher the. past few years. Since 1905, the pric of food has advanced at least 25 per cent, and other things probably In t.e same ratio. Wages have not Increased at th same rate. Other things affecting ou standard of living are the kind t"f work we do. the length of onr working day, and our surroundings while at work the kind of houses or apartments we live in; the amusements and patatlmes we engage in; the people we associate with, and the nurture and heredity -with which we are endowed. The wageei or Incomes we receive and the prices we pay, however, determine our manlier of living more than all other thiiigs put together. What can be done to improve the situation, in addition "to the many departments of social refortn work already familiar? Greater Production U r Red. "More wealth can be produced and made available for distribution as wages, profits and rents. Many econo mists hold that several times as much wealth as is, produced at present could be produced through the better or ganization of industry. Elements in this better organization would be the removal of trade restrictions between countries, the distribution of labor where labor is needed, the vocational guidance and training of boys and girls, the scientific management of in dustries, the inducement to service of those not forced by economic neces sity to labor. ' "However greatly we Improve recrea tional, labor, and housing conditions; however well we are trained for life and work; however effectually we reg ulate prices; however great our pro duction of wealth the fact remains that We all need Incomes for the neces sities of life we have to procure for ourselves. Every man and every wo man who Is willing" to work and able to work should be provided with work, and should receive for this WITH a bis rally at the Central Library tonight and a series of open air rallies at various points in Portland and through the county on Thursday night, the Lincoln Republican Club will close its ante-primary cam- , paign. The Library meeting tomorrow night will be for all candidates for Repub lican nominations at the primary. Each will have a few minutes in which to show himself and make a few remarks. The speakers probably will be limited to two or three-minutes talks. The Thursday night meetings will be at least five in number and perhaps more. Candidates will go from one rally point to another in automobiles. The places already determined on for meetings are: Corner of Grand avenue and East Morrison street. Corner of Third and Burnslde streets. St. Johns. Piedmont. . Lents and bossibly at Arleta, also. Though this will wind up 'the Lin coln Republican Club's activity In the primary, the organization is making plans for conducting an equally vig orous campaign beiore tne general election. Grant B. Dimlck. of Oregon City, candidate or the Republican nomina tion for Governor, campaigned In Yam hill County Monday. He spoke at a mass meeting in McMinnville last night. John Manning, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, has ended his out-of-town campaign ing. He expresses satisfaction with the prospects. If I come to Multnomah County less than 2000 votes behind I will surely be nominated," asserted Mr. Manning yes terday. "I figure that I will not be far, if any, behind in the state, with this county excluded. I will have a ma jority in Marion. Carry, Columbia, Washington and Coos counties, as .well as In Multnomah. I expect to have plurality in Klamath, Jackson, Jose phine and Douglas. In, Lane, the bulk of the vote will be divided between Dr. Smith and me. and this will also be the case in Clack amas and Polk. In Eastern Oregon the total vote will not exceed 6000, and, while I will be third in that territory Dr. Smith and Judge Bennett will have an. almost equal vote, and It will. not be far in excess of the one I will get. I am content to abide by the result of Friday's election on my present show ing." The appearance of a third anonymous ticket, bearing the indorsement of full list of candidates before the Re publican primary, caused a little flurry In political circles Monday. It was printed on a small card and gave the name neither of sponsor nor printer. It had practically "the same list of can didates as the so-called "Voters' Pro tective League" ticket. There Is much mystery about the origin of the new ticket, as of the others. The candidates who have been selected for "Indorse ment generally profess entire igno ranee. The respective tickets are un doubtedly the work of a very few In dividuals, who are pursuing their own ends and who have not consulted the principal candidates in any way. One of the. largest electionbets of the primary campaign was recorded- Monday, when Dave - Anderson, of Anderson Bros.' livery -stable, bet $1000 against $75 that Dr. Sam C. Slocum, Incumbent, would get the Republican nomination for Coroner against the field. Another bet of $100 even was that Slocum would get more voteB than the other three candidates together. Joe Murphy bet $10 that Dr. Slocum judicial departments and that each power is supreme within Itself. "Any decision of the Supreme Court of the state Is final," he said, "subject only to a review by the Supreme Court of the United States on constitutional questions. The Legislature has a right to enact any law in its discretion that Is. any law not unconstitutional. Like wise,' the authority of the Governor is supreme within that branch. "For these reasons, it is the duty of all citizens to select good, clean, com petent men as Judges of the Supreme Court; also to select men of known standing and integrity as members of the Legislature, and a man as Governor who will revere and respect the law and carry out the intent of the con stitution. Mr. Johns at the Transportation Club meeting said that he had come to Ore gon in 1858 as an infant in his mother's arms, and contrasted tne difference between modes of travel in Oregon In 1866 and 1914. As a small boy," he continued. made a trip behind a four-horse team from Sclo to Portland in 1866. Our wagon was loaded with dried apples and bacon and these commodities were given in exchange for merchandise. It took ten days to make that round trip. Now it can- be made in five hours." Miss Lida M. O'Bryon. candidate for the Republican nomination for Judge of the District Court, Department No. 3, was a speaker last night at a meeting of Republican women in the Central Library last night. She will speak there again tomorrow night at a gen eral wind-up" rally for all Republican candidates under the auspices of the Lincoln Republican Club. Miss O Bryon is campaigning actively and doing much personal work. Democrats of the northeastern part CHURCH WO R K REViEVED growth: told Br sr. e. m. vul- BIR AT "UNITARIAN MEETING.

'Among all the candidates for Gov ernor, the people of this section should have but one choice, a candidate friend ly to every interest of the Aurora sec tlon. a candidate known almost per sonally to the great majority of all our electors as a man of ability, probity and favorable inclination toward all the policies which we hold essential to our best interests and general wel fare in short, a candidate for tbi GovemorshlD whom wa can trust im pllcitly to sareguard the general Inter ests of all the people.
