The lad with a penchant for strong cigars, came in strong at
the finish. And It was nothing but sheer bull-necked persistence,
for he was about as prepossessing as a Sioux Indian suffering from
poison oak.
Nothing daunted him however, even the sour-puss porter
gave up after 24 hours and ignored his "corona-corona" belching
smoke in the car like a Pittsburgh and Akron freight engine.
Strange, strange, we can imagine no worse life-companion
than that know-it-all smart-alec, and all around cheap skate rough
neck, but our last sight of him was taking a seat by the beauty
in a bus bound lor the Canadian Pacific. He is due in Camp Grant,
but will probably end up In Toronto, unless someone rescues the
Idaho beauty, and kicks him Into a convenient snowdrift. (Yep
Urandpappy Is all worked up and fears the nice little kid will
eventually fall for some baboon like that, many of them do,
they seem able to resist everything but PERSISTENCE!)
Strange, too, from the other side of the triangle, or rather
the hexagon. Miss Idaho, as before suited, was pleasing to look at
but to be strictly accurate was no glamorous beauty and, as our
onnnrtunities for observation were excellent we can also testify
she had no "line", no humor, no brains at all, about the third j
day we should have supposed even "Panatela Pete" would have
lost some of his enthusiasm.
But did he? Did any of the regiment? Not that one could
witness. Ho-hum, I guess they ARE or they AREN'T, Just as
some gsls no doubt can walk In a tiger's cage and the varmints
will blink their eyes, and put their tails between their legs and
Jump through flaming hoops, and another girl, outwardly about
the same type, walking in the same cage would promptly be
"et up." It's biological,' no doubt!
m m
We are grateful to Miss Idaho, however, for putting bit of
human Interest Into what otherwise would have been an exceed
ingly tiresome trip. The competition to take the young lady to
meals Including breakfast was also keen, (and these army lads
have no money to waste!) But Miss "I" apparently had been given
strict Instructions about this, and always declined, In fact as far
as we could observe she only had one meal a day, luncheon, but
when she landed in Chicago she looked as fresh and frisky as
when she boarded the "Rose" at Nampa, Idaho. (Perhaps that's the
reason.)
As a final word let It be stated the "Miss" was very much of
the sweet, demure, self-contained type, tremendous poise, but
none of that quality which once upon a time was termed "pep".
She almost never caught a breath of fresh air at the train stops,
sweetly declining at least half a hundred invitations, ditto offers
of cigarets, if she had a lip stick she never played with it,
But, boy oh boyl Had Miss Idaho at any given time, ordered
any of these soldier boys to Jump off the train while it was going
75 miles an hour and MEANT it,
The boy would have refused no doubt, but he would have
been sorely tempted and apologized profusely for not having the
guts to do it.
Yes that was her type. Just one of the major miracles of this

In forcing men to pay tribute
to union leaders as greedy and
socially unconscious as were the
wealthy aristocrats of the 1870 s
they simply have changed slave
masters without broadening the
Ideal of freedom. Men arc not
free when theKr labor is actually
needed and they cannot obtain
work without buying a union
card. Labor unions today con
sider a non-union worker a
jreater enemy than the capital
ist employer. Capital has prop
erly acquiesced to the demands
of labor and granted all reason
able rights of working men.
Unions then turned to fighting
each other and now are making
war against non-union labor.
To fight laborers is not the
proper function of organizations
established for the purpose of
benefiting labor. Their pi oner
function should be to free labor
from slavery and exploitation.

Personally I know exactly

mention diferent phases of it.
In new building we do not

what rentals will be; or whether
furnished or unfurnished.
In existing houses we are
equally at sea. There are rumors
of control of rentals based on
last April when ' rents hardly
paid the taxes and water. In
that case we could not be ex
pected to do any extensive re
pairing. We are also told that
many cantonment workers of
the common labor class can be
classed with "fruit tramps" as
to being desirable tenants,
which means that they do not
take the slighest care of the
property.
There is also a chaotic condi
tion as to rooms. I am repeat
edly asked by owners to see
rooms they have and tell what
I think of them. I quit seeing
them long ago as I hate to tell
them the truth most of those
I have looked at needed kalso
iriine and paint badly and most
furniture was hardly fit to chop
into fire wood. Secondhand
dealers tell me that last tpring
every stick of old furniture and
furnishings were bought up to
put into houses and rooms. We
can well imagine the results.
People coming to me looking
for houses tell of houses they
have looked at and above men
tioned conditions exist in a very
large part of them.
I made brief inquiry locally
and have also talked to various
of the engineers who have been
and are here, some of whom I
have as tenants, and I find this:
If the existing house or room
would be capable of putting into
desirable and clean condition,
then there will be a demand
by the better element and they
will pay a decent price; and
there will be a very acute short
ige of residences in first class
condition that the "higher uds"
will not be ashamed to ask their
friends into and they will nav
high rent, and with that class
of house we can furnish "Frigid-
aires (if you can get them) and
spring mattresse, etc.
Here is my suggestion I
think there should be an actual
inspection of all available hous
ing (houses and rooms) and sue
gestions made to the owners as
to wnat they should do to them
and also advise as to rental they
can ask. Many of the "land
lords" have asked me questions
on xnese matters and they should
be cleared up.
I would also suggest a meeting
of the landlords with Mr. Van
Dyke and others as the housing

mere is also a very great
shortage of new furniture and
specially mattresses It seems to
me mat there should be several
hundred mattresses shipped in

be attended to, and SDeciallv

senators is that Wickard did not
write the back-tracking part of
his Atlanta speech, that It was
worked over by others, that he
did not notice the line that
caused all the trouble.
Be that as it may or may not
be, Mr. Wickard is Mr. Roose
velt's personal agent and he must
have noted T. D. R.'s nun mat
he had better be good in his
newly legalized position as arbi
ter of farm prices.
In short, Mr. wickard may
have established himself as arbi
ter tor the farmer (meaning in
this instance the cotton senators
and some farm arganizations)
but he is working for Mr. Roose
velt. In his dual capacity he will
henceforth take the rap from
both sides, as he has now so ef
ficiently started to do.
m
ONE thing Churchill said In his
speech is not understandable
to anyone here. According to
one radio transcript, he said:
The arrival of well-equipped
troops here will enable the U. S.
to send direct to Australia and
New Zealand, weapons and mu
nitions now being made in the
United States."
Another published version:
"The fact that well-equipped
American divisions can be sent
into these islands so easily and
rapidly will enable substantial
supplies of weapons and muni
tions now being made in the
United States to be sent directly
to the other side of the world
to Australia and New Zealand,
to meet new dangers to the home
defense which are cast upon
them by the Japanese war.
These words suggest Churchill
expects Britain to receive less
war materials, but obviously our
own troops there will have to be
supplied and nearly all our lend-

NOTICE came to the war de-
partment from the bureau of
internal revenue, addressed to
Major . It said the major,
through error or oversight, owed
more money on his income tax
than he had paid. The bureau
of internal revenue received this
communication back from a war
department secretary:
"Major is at present lo
cated on the Bataan peninsula.
I am herewith returning your
letter with the suggestion that
you forward it to Major
with the first reinforcements."
Or, better yet, why not have
the revenue agent deliver it out
to the Philippines and take all
revenue agents along as rein
forcements before next March
13.
Silent official emotions here
have run all the way from re
gret to outrage that MacArthur
could not be relieved before
this, but this war department
secretary has given first expres
sion to the sentiments of those in
the latter group.
However, a bill is being push
ed in congress to relieve irmv
officers from income tax while
outside the continental limits of
the U. S. The major will have
to pay up if and when he gets
back and no doubt he will be
glad of the opportunity and
proud or the privilege.
