STRIKES
STKI KKS arc a sure siii of ji- (Si x-rity. And this raises
the (iiest.ini), why dues jinisperity cause strikes?
LMore stj'ikes Jiae occurred during the past year than
any year in history. A year ago in August there were 14'.'
separate strikes and lockouts. In September, W) more;
in Ot-tohcr auot her I0(i, in November !)K, December (38, Jan
nary 111, and in the spring over half a million workers
were out.
These strikes and lockouts occur when industry is at
its maximum, when there is less unemployment than at
other times, when wages are higher and hours shorter, and
everybody is busy.
Vet strikes are not always a sign of prosperity. The)'
are just as ajt to be a sign of adversity. The great Colo
rado and West. Virginia coal strikes, the 'Michigan copper
strike and the great steed strikes of the past have been
during times of industrial depression.
Strikes occur when business hits the bottom, and also
when it hits the top but it is easier to win a strike during
prosperous times, because the army of the unemployed is
smaller. There are fewer strikebreakers.
(lovernnieiit economists declare that for the worker in
dustrial stagnation and industrial prosperity are the same
thing. "When conditions become tin bearable it means that
wages are not sufficient for the toiler to maintain a family
in comfort. "When prosperity reigns, it means the cost of
living has shot ahead of the wages, and the shortage still
exists.
Strikes are the efforts of labor to improve its condition
and secure a fairer share of the prosperity it aids in creat
ing. Lockouts are. (lie efforts of the employed to retain as
much of the prosperity for himself as possible. Only by
organization can the laborer hope for success. Only by
denying the employes the right to organize can the em
ployer hog the profits.
The United States bureau of labor gives the following
figures showing the increase in wages and cost of living:
llaso Figure Comparison, I'cr Cent

A vurnito Wanes 100 US 12
IHvlillnn the average wngc Index number for 11)15 (112) by tlia
price of food of index number for the same year ni.'il shows that the
worker's pay envelope now will buy only !)7.:i'J per cent as much as It
would In I!)(I7. In oilier words, tho worker'B dollar-a-Uav Is now worth
only !i7.:iil cents.
The figures for H)Hi would show a much greater loss
in the buying value of a dollar, for the cost of living lias
increased .phciiominally the past year.
THE EUGENE
Till' Eugene ( 'oimnercial
counties coiifiiiiiiiiir O
August 2:i to formulate a program to keep the taxing power
of the state over the land grant lands, thus resisting the
action of congress in restoring
ship.
.flit! Kugene contention is that the federal government,
having once vested the slate with the power of taxation,
cannot, withdraw this land from taxation. Admitting that
congress has the power to
claimed the right ol the stale to tax the lands exists. Yet
the power that gave the right of taxation can take it away.
Congress has appropriated $l.(i()0.()()() to pay delinquent
taxes on the land, lieforc the money is paid, waivers of the
right to tax the grant lands must be signed by the counties.
When title to the land is reinvested in the" United States
government, right of taxation by the state automatically
lapses. Jt is hard to see how the Kugene contention can
hold.
Congress has taken over these lands because the rail
road failed to live up to the terms of its contract for their
development. The move to restore the lands to the gov
ernment Was fathered by the counties because of the rail
road's failure to develmi them. Anv action to keep the
lands on the assessment roles
ol the railroad.
Uiiiucstionably the loss
hardship upon the counties for
are honiesleaded. or sold as
gains in increased population
than offset temporarv losses.
Meanwhile, if the counties want the 1, lit 10,000 back
taxes due. they must keep the lands off the assessment
roles. If the supreme court fails to uphold congress, the
land can be restored to the assessment roles, just as other
omitted property is, and the lost taxes collected.

COMMUNICATION.
As ii taxpayer anil one whose every
dollar is invested in and u round Mcd
ford, I wunt to call attention to the
jiMice of the paving ainendnient pro
posed by City Atloruey iMcl ube.
inasmuch as the street improve
ment!! were torced upon ninny ol us
without our cqnseiit and against our
better judgment, ni ter we had signed
two and even three remonstrances.
and eonsiderinj; (lie fact that most
of the paving is adjacent to the
liouies of the small properly owners,
it is only fair that the city at large
assume a part of the iiideblednos.
H. Lauder is the Canny Scot, who always knows just
what is what, and people say he s
grown quite rich, by always know
ing vhich is which. One tiling's
admitted by the bunch, which is
that Lauder has the punch.
Where'er he does his sprightly
chores, he packs the houses to the
doors; he sings his songs so pass
ing well, the auditors stand up to
yell. Withal, he is a thrifty soul;
he wisely will not spend his roll,
until he's sure he will not fail to
get full value for his kale. That's
why he always asks for "Tux"
when he would spend his hard
earned bucks for 'baccy, in his
pipe to puff he knows Tuxedo
is the stuff. Great men, wise
men, in every landj all tell us that
Tuxedo's grand.
