TAUE TOUK Capita ournal Salem, Oregon An Independent NwPPr, Published trtrjr evening except Sunday Telephone (1; news 81 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor nod Publisher Ford's Folderol Henry Ford is as adept as Barr.um was in securing free advertising, and his latest labor "reform," the establishment nf a fiv Aav week of eicht hour davs is no exception. As a matter of fact, he has made advertising out of adversity and cleverly solved the problem of reducing output to meet diminished demand and cutting wages. Like most of Ford's widely heralded efforts, there is a good deal of bunk about the pretense of philanthropy involved. Of course the Portland Labor Council lost no time in endorsing Ford's five day week, for organized labor nowa days is so much afraid of work that it hails with joy every HiinprfiVial movn that nromises less labor. Yet there was nothing about the Ford proposal and there is nothing about Ford's treatment of men that can possibily please organ ized labor. If anyone but Ford adopted it, there would be ringing resolutions of censure. Ford's proposal is fundamentally at variance with the modern objects of organized labor. Ford does not recognize any union, and accepts no union dictation. He does vnot cooperate in the slightest with unionism. His management is that of a benevolent despot, retaining the fuedal right, not only of regulating conditions of employes during work- ing hours, but of supervising their private life. No slave driver of old ever devised half as effective a scheme to get product from workmen as Ford efficiency, which keeps em ployes on the jump by means of moving platforms, endless belts and other mechanical contrivances. .' Ford has cut the week to five days, but provides five flays pay He has cut the wages of new employes to $5 a day, leaving the old employes wage at $6. The five day . week necessitates the employment of several thousand $5 a day men to do the work now done by $6 a day men, who have had a day lopped off their week, saving Ford $1 a day for each man employed. ' No labor employer has any objection to a five day work week, if labor is plentiful, providing the pay is only for five days. What labor proposes is a five day week with six days pay. Nation-wide strikes are now in. progress to force payment for a six day week for five and one half days work and if these strikes are won, the next strike will be for the five day week and six days pay. Labor seeks to shorten hours, increase pay and curtail production. Ford keeps the eight hour day, cuts the pay and increases production by eliminating all those who cannot work as fast as his mov ing machincry--and yet labor endorses Ford. The' printers in the Salem newspapers work 44 hours a week for 48 hours pay, get a dollar a day more than Ford's old employes and two dollars a day more than his new em ployes, yet we do not see any resolutions from labor bodies endorsing these little business ventures for being prey to labor rapacity, altho the men employed make $42 a week as : against $30 and $24 in Ford's "well paid" plants and have all the leisure for self-improvement that anyone is likely to employ. The five day week is economically unsound and makes for. waste with no resultant benefit. Two non-working days a week are neither a necessity nor desirable. The extra day is spent In amusement or in idleness, making the bene ficiary a nuisance to himself and society, though a good thing for pool-halls and resorts. The devil always finds work for idle hands and it is a false philosophy that deve lopment and culture depend upon leisure. Those wjio seek information find it and the best informed are usually the busiest. The town loafer is never a fountain of wisdom and leisure destroys more than it creates.

In fact, tbe mere knowledge that someone, 1 did not care who, was at the door gave me courage to say: "Wait a minute until I have slipped on a dressing gown." To my great joy I recognized Mrs. Chester'! voice. "1 am very sorry tj have awak ened you, Virgle, but I have a rag ing tooth ache and I wondered 1. you have a hot water bottle handy." I did not wait for my dressing gown. I rushed to the door ana flung it open. Mrs. Chester was standing Just outside, her handkerchief held to her cheek. I am Just across the ball, dear, I have been trying to stop this aching tooth with only the heat of a handkerchief from off my tieater. I'fl come In while you flat the hot water bottle. May I." Yes, do dear Mrs. Chester. You do not know how 'glad I am to know that you are here on thlb floor.

It has twin beds, and I am jure I won't disturb you." 'Oh, Mrs. Chester, If you only would let me come!" Of course, I will be glad to have you." She gave me a queer little look that made me Under stand that she knew -what had happened and her sachlng tooth was a subterfuge. While we were talking no sound had come from Theo's room. hastily put on my dressing gown and went across to Mrs. Chester's room, determined that In tin morning i suouia insist upon my trunk being sent there, too.

A Chick Well Started Is Half Raised A day old chick must thrive from the day it begins to consume feed. There must be no set-back. - Progress must be one of steady development. Alber's Chick Feed is the choice of many large hatch eries, turning out annually thousands of baby chicks in all sections of the Pacific Coast. This mixture of grains is fed by them because it i3 free from dust, has a well selected variety of the choicest grains of the right kind and properly sized as to milling. It is neither too fine or too coarse, just right for the baby chick. Alber's Chick Feed is particularly noteworthy for the prominence of Rolled Oats and a good proportion of Wheat. When a chick is a week old, also begin using Alber's Chick Mash, it is a quality that puts it in th same class as Alber's Chick Feed. Alber's Chick Feed is sold by all dealers in various weight sacks from ten pounds upward to 100. Alber's Chick Mash is packed in 10-pound sacks and 50-pound sacks. FOR SALE BY CHARLES R.

I was now eertuln thaf he had contrived the whole scheme. My face grew hot as I surmised that every one lu th whole company but myself had probably known It. However at ter I had crawled into the narrow lied in Mrs. Chester's room I told myself it was not true. But Jus as 1 was assuring myself that Had dreamed the episode I heard someone come up and knock at Theo's door. Theo's volce answe M, saying: "Yes, I want a pack age of cigarettes." Then I knew It was true, for there was the same ugly tone in his voice that I had heard a few moments before when ho told me not to be a fool. I was sure that he had sent for the boy purposely so that by hi: raised voice he could make me un derstaiid that he knew that 1 had gone across to sleep in Mrs. Ches ter s room and resented it Suddenly I felt myself shaking and sobbing. I could not keep bII ent any longer. Mrs. Chester came over to my bed and put her arm nbout me. "Virgle, don't cry dear, I know know. I am not so old that 1 cannot remember. Someone has turned your world upside down for you. Every girl that goes out Into the world sometime comes up on tn same experience.'

The sex iusllnct is not to bo denied." "But he said he loved me. Mrs. t'lienttM." 'I think he does, dear. I think he loves you as much as Theodore Stratton can love anyone. He has oved many women lust that much, but never one of them enough to divorce his wife who is Iving buck In a little New York state." "Oh, Mrs. Chester, you don't mean to toll me that Theo Is mar ried?" 1 sobbed. "Why, be told me ha loved me!" un, my child, every woman In this world, some time lu her we, must learn that few men thtuk It necessary to mean marriage when tbey speak of love. "I have ben watching you, my dear, ever since -you came on the lot, and I wanted to come and tell you all this, and yet I did not know how to do It. I pitied you from the bottom of my heart, but I pitied Maud Sausou more." "Maud Sanson? Why is she to. " pitied? Surely she knows he Is married. "Yes. my dear, she knows. She knew from the first. Everyone In Hollywood knows that Theo Strat ton has been the one Jove of Maud Sanson. She made him what he Is. One "summer, Ion? ago. Just after she had been feaJ lured out here, she went back ant. made the acquaintance of Stratton who was dancing about the hotels She fell desperately In love with him and persuaded him to come back to Los Angeles with her. She told me, herself, that It was not until they arrived here that she knew he was married. And then she loved him so much thiit his wife or his marriage never enter ed into her scheme of things.

Obituary To the Editor: I wish to -call the attention of the farmers and taxpayers to the great discrepancy in taxes and wages, as per the re port of professor Gunn as printed on the first page of the Oregonian He here demonstrates that the average income of 113 representa- ive farms in western Oregon as $465 and this was the total amount received from these 113 arms in 16 counties. Each farm er, therefore, received $28.75 per month, including his labor, that of the family, feed. seed, use of DALZIEL ENTERS RACE FOR LABOR COMMISSION Wm. A. Dalzlel of Portland, present deputy state sealer of weights and measures, has enter ed the lists as a candidate for state labor commissioner. In his formal declaration for the repub lican nomination, filed with sec- etary of State Kozer, Dalztel pro-: minis himself "a practical man for a practical Job." His platform pledges him "to the best of my ability fearlessly and Impartially enforce all laws coming under the jurisdiction of this department and endeavor at town in'a" times to use careful Judgment and common sense in mattes per taining to this bureau."

Again the same authority states that of 30 of the best f ami rs In eastern Oregon they farm ed at a net loss or $367 a year or over $1 per day. These farmers worked hard and at great loss. What kind of business can be ex pected In cities and towns from these conditions. High taxes is not responsible for all this, but ud HicKURui wnu uuyes me eggn at 15 cents and adds 7 cents a dozen to the retail price should be boycotted. The farmers sells low ouys high and the consumer gets soaked. One way to lessen the ourden is cooperation In selling and buying. When producers are torced out they will become a dan serous proposition to be deurt wuu. xnere is this one thiuE to consider, that the 25 college pro fessors that now grafting the tax payers for $375 per mouth from the overburdened farmer, who only have $12 per month. !Say, does any of these professors' pay any tax on these salaries or do any of them pay any revenue or; tax to support Corvallls? I want to say further, does any of the farm experts actually know anything of actual practlcul experience? We have seen some very fiue (theo retical experience) In sprouting Stain and seeds in warm sand, un der a damp blanket and high tem perature. This same demonstra- iur mis county niadp a n.lsoi-. able failure In demonstrating tho raising of corn and other grains on south bottom below Salem. There is this one thing to cut sal lies of these to what thev r oun. The farmer can save on 12, let us be charitable and only eut of the $200 a month, leave them $173 for fear tliev starve and we would have a lot of pau pers on our hands.
