IS BORAH A RADICAL?
*
Senator Borah of Idaho is quotec.
as saying in the senate recently, in
speaking of the general labor situa
tion, that the problem is not one of
wages. “The question,” he went on.
“can not be settled until industry has
been put on a new basis and labor not
only has been allowed to share in
the fruits of industry, but also in
management, operation and control.”
A pronounced liberal, who resigned
from the public service to take an
active part in propaganda work, com
menting upon this alleged statement
of the Republican senator, says, “No
liberal, I think, will disagree with
that statement.”
Which leads one to wonder how far
this “new thought” in political econ
omy has permeated the ranks of the
statesmen and politicians at the cap
ital, and what effect such sentiments
are likely to have on the make-up of,
the political platforms of next year.
THE SAVINGS CAMPAIGN
During the first eight months of
1919 the people of the Twelfth fed
eral reserve district, embracing the
states of Washington, California,
Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, part of
\ Arizona and the territories of Hawaii
and Alaska, saved $7,079,255.75 by the
purchase of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, according to a report just
issued by the War Loan Organization.
“High [trices were hit just that hard,"
said Robert E. Smith, director of the
organization, “as every dollar saved
helps bring down prices."
The amount saved, however, the
3, ior; shows, is only 1.9 per cent of
the quota asked to date by the gov
ernment from residents oi the
Twelfth district. At the beginning
of the year the treasury department
fixed a quota of ten dollars per capita
as sufficient to help the government
meet its war debts. The ten dollar
quota is just half the per capita quota
asked in 1918.
“The people are not standing up
to their responsibilities in this dis
trict.” said C A. Farnsworth, asso
ciate director of the war loan organi
ze,tion. “The government needs this
money just as much now as it did dur
ing the war and is depending upon
every man, woman and child in the
district to lend it ten dollars before
the end of the year. Of course there
are indigents in the West who have
not the ten dollars to lend their coun
try and there are others who have
the ten dollars who are not enough
American to lend it to their country,
Consequently real Americans must in
vest more than their quota if the
West is to save its face before the
reat of the country.”
“High prices,” the report points
out, “would be struck a serious blow
if the people of the West would only
save something out of every pay en
velope or salary check—if the wage
or salary earner would make Wai
Stamps the first item on his budgel
each week. The money saved would
cut down the demand for luxuries
and at the same time provide capita
for greater production of necessities
The best economists in the country,’
the report continues, “are agreed thal
this is the only way to lower prices—
that congressional investigations anc
prosecutions of profiteers will noi
effect price reductions.
“Work and save regularly is th€
only remedy,” the report concludes.

SENATORS NOT [
ACTUATED BY
PARTISANSHIP
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Senator Cummins, ad
dressing the upper house yesterday,
said that when President Wilson ended
his work at Paris America had no

“Our brilliant services in the war,”
he said, “were almost forgotten in the j
storm of protests which followed Presi- j
dent Wilson home.” j
He said the people first welcomed
the League of Nations covenant as a j
means of preventing wars, but lately j
had discovered provisions in the cov
enant which must inevitably provoke
wars.
Senator Cummins denied that the
opposition of senators to the covenant
was in furtherance of any political de
signs.
