R A IL R O A D S M IG H T ECONOMJ Z E O N SALAR IES
| Thp more we read of the high salaries paid high offic-
ials of the railroad, the more we wonder under what theory
i they are paid. They do not earn them, nor any fraction
thereof. In fact, they escape entirely the physical labor
which falls to the lot of the section hand. They may do
' mental labor but not to an extent which warrants a salary
lone hundred times that of the har d workers on the lower
j rungs o f the ladder. If these excessively high fortunes
| and salaries in the larger brackets were divided among a
j larger percentage o f people, a measure of true economy
would be effected.
The Union Pacific took a step in a sensible direction
| when they reduced the salaries of high officials 10 per
cent. They .-educed President Gray's $100,000 sala.y
I $ 9 0 , 0 0 0 ; the vice chairman of the executive committee
from $ 5 4 , 0 0 0 to $ 4 8 , 6 9 0 ; and the managers of the Oregon
Short Line and the Oregon-Washington from $ 2 0 , 0 0 0 to
$ 1 8 , 0 0 0 . It takes lots of railroad business to pay such sal
aries.
High salaries and fortunes have made kings in America.

garding the Owyhee Dam dedication
in the Portland papers.
Baker Democrat-Herald: The Gate
City Journal of Nyssa issued a highly
Bright lights in business during the week reveal that a
score of factories have been reopened in various parts of
the country, putting men to work in many cities and creat-
I ing new purchasing power.
A strengthening trend is also noted in the increasing
, prices paid for farm produce. North Dakota wheat grow
ers are attracting nation-wide admiration by their en
deavor to hold wheat for a dollar a bushel. If all the wheat
growers held together, it is certain they would get their
price but it would be difficult for many of them to do so.
However, chances are in favor of a raise as this year’s crop
is far below that of last year and much of the surplus has
been sold to China.
The rise in hog prices amounting to $2 from late in May
to early July is encouraging. The advance represented a
50 per cent increase from the low mark in Portland in May.
Even the small increase last week in the price o f butter-
fat will mean thousands of dollars to the many dairy far
mers of the Snake river valley.
The current advance on the stock market may be sus
tained for the reason that the lows on listed securities and
basic commodities have been set. It is predicted that the
future trend will be upward.
