M'COMBS REFUSES
IfflMDC POST
ii
WASHINGTON, March 13. W. F.
McCombs, chairman of the national
Democratic committee, told President
Wilson today that ho did not want
any diplomatic post. However, on
the persuasion of the president, Mc
Combs withheld any positive public
declination.
Later It was learned that Presi
dent Wilson urged McCombs to ac
cept the ambassadorship to France
and that McCombs took the offer un
der advisement until the special ses
sion of congress.
McCombs told newspaper; men that
if he went to France it would be un
willingly and that personally ho pre
ferred to remain in business la Now
York.
PAVING BIDS DELAYED BY
COUNCIL UNTIL TUESDAY
Tho city council held a special
session Wednesday evening at five
o'clock, and opened bids for tho pav
ing ot West Eleventh and Cottage
streets. It was the opinion of some
ot tho council that to open tho bids
for tho improvement at five o'clock,
and accept thom at 5:15 was a little
too fast work, so tho matter was re
ferred to the street committoo with
instructions to report at the next
regular meeting. At this meeting
blls for tho paving of Bear creek
bridge will likely bo submitted, mak
ing It posslblo for the beginning of
tho work on tho structure by tho first
of tho month, but no sooner because
of tho legal red tape involved.

CAMBRIDGE
MINIMUM
OREGON has passed a minimum wage I or women law.
Washington lias also enacted a similar statute. Cali
fornia lias one pending before the legislature. All provide
for a commission which shall fix tho minimum wage rate
. .. I.
nt whieh women may be employed in the state.
The probe now being eonduoted of wages paid by Illi
nois mail order houses and department stores, the proven
connection between starvation wages and white slavery,
will undoubted cause the passage of minimum wage laws
in tho more conservative eastern states. The agitation
will probably result in tho passage of a national minimum
wage law, whieh will be less objcotional to employers
than state laws, because it places them all upon an equal
basis.
Wages paid women is a proper legislative subject. We
have long been legislating for an eight-hour day for men.
Wo have legislated and appropriated for all kinds of
property ana all kinds of animals. It is high tme to legis
late more for humanity.
Minimum wage laws will accomplish but little but tho
mere fact of their enactment shows that society is aroused
to existing conditions, knows that something must be done,
and is trying to do something to remedy them--and for
yeare society has been blind. Everybody has known since
their creation that mail order and department stores paid
girls starvation wages and made recruits for the red light
districts yet nohotury cared.
Labor like other commodities, is based upon the law of
supply and demand. Girls get small wages because there
are more girls than positions. There is no reason why
girls should not be paid a minimum sufficient to live
lcspectabh upon. There will probably bo an increase
dcmandcd'hi the efficiency of the average employe those
who are not worth the minimum wage, that is, do not
measure up to the standard of the girls now receiving this
wage, will be culled out.
The employer who is forced to pay $10 or $12 a week,
where he now pays .fa or .fti, is going to try to got his
money's worth. The girls that hold their position will be
the ones already receiving the proposed minimum that is
if the supply of the efficient girls holds out.
In the theory at least, it would seem that one of tho
effects of the minimum wage will bo the segregation of
a class of girls unable to secure employment because too
inefficient to be worth the minimum wage. This would
force them, in order to exist, directly into the life un
desirable, the law is aimed to rescue them from.
No amount of law making will increase efficiency in the
individual. This can only be done gradually by improved
environment, education aiid eugenics improving the next
generation. But it is the present generation we arc con
cerned about and through it, the future.
No one knows what the result of the minimum wage
law will be, whether it will improve conditions or create
new evils worse than the old. But it is an effort in the
right direction, it is a sign of a growing altruism in the
state and nation and its defects will be remedied by still
more advanced efforts.
Ilumanity only improves by experience and experi
ments. It disregards the philosophies of the sages and
step by step painfully works out its own salvation. And
the agitation and experimentation are essential hence
wo should encourage all altruistic legislation which has for
its object improving humanity,
en unenlightened wontl.
