EDITORIAL
Governmental President Coolidge and his political associates are Economy endeavoring to favorably impress the voters of the nation by stressing the great economy in govern ment that the present administration claims to be responsible for. It is interesting to analyze some of the economies practiced. The following is a sample of Coolidge economy: Nearly all of the one-half million government wage earners affected by the Coolidge Civil Service Reclassification received no increase in wages at all, and many suffered substantial reductions; however, political appointees and ward politicians on the govern ment's payroll suffered no such experience. For instance, Theodor~ Roosevelt was dealt out a hand by the Reclassification Board that netted him an increase of $2,500 per year. A like increase .was dealt to Mr. Finney, of the Interior De partment. Mr. Finney, it will be recalled, was Mr. Fall's right-hand man, and ably assisted him with such matters as Teapot Dome, etc., etc. Mr. Bartlett, in the Post Office Department, who has assiduously devoted his time to keeping down the pay of the post office employees, was rewarded with a $2,500 salary boost. This is representative of a large number of salary increases. We have no quarrel with increased compensation, if it is con sistently applied, but we do fuss when the high-salaried, high-brow political appointee is increased fifty per cent and the wage servants of the government are held down and receive none. Even economy doesn't justify this.
A Man and All that Robert M. La Follette has got out of a life a Statesman time of public service is a farm with a mortgage on it; that is, it is all he has got, measured by material returns. But he has his self-respect. He has the esteem of millions of his countrymen; and the assurance that history will give him due reward for his able, pr.ogressive and courageous struggle for right. During the war, when all the hounds of the press were in full cry against La Follette; when his ancient enemies, the monopolists, sought to crucify him, to break him with lies, when they were powefl less against him with truth, he was sustained by an unfaltering trust. He knew that the people were being tricked and fooled-befuddled by propaganda dope and lies. He waited. Today he is the most significant figure in America. Not even his womt enemy dares breathe a word against his character. He is clean. He is honest. He has suffered. Sorrow has been his com panion. Self-exacting, he has paid the price of serving the people. He has slaved over figures. He has denied himself pleasure. He has made himself a servant and a warrior of the public good. He dominated the last Congress. He drove Daugherty, Fall and Denby -money-changers and corruptionists-from their high seats of power. And he is now the only candidate for the Presidency who actually represents the people. Paid agents of reaction say La Follette nominated himself. WORKERS AND OPERATORS 625 Nothing is farther from the truth. He was called by millions, and only responded when all hope for relief, from either the Democratic or Republican party was gone. His platform is the logical expression of his whole political career. It makes exploiters tremble and look for a place to hide. How they hate La Follette for these principles! Public Ownership of Water Power, including Muscle Shoals; Public Ownership of Rail roads; Taxes on Excess Profits; the Abolition of the Injunction in Labor Disputes; Referendum on War; Reduction of Freight Rates on Farm Produce; House-cleaning at Washington; Revision of the Constitution, making the 110,000,000 people of this country greater than the nine individuals constituting the United States Supreme Court. How they hate him for pointing the way to a government responsive to the will of the people! La Follette is a magnetic personality-fighting and unswerving in purpose. He is a real statesman, skilled and far-seeing. He is also a symbol-a mirror of idealistic America; the old America be fore corruption and hypocrisy garbed themselves in togas and held sway. This is the man whom the people of the United States can put at the head of their government, if they refuse to allow the agents of monopoly and self-interest to confuse and befuddle them, or lull them to sleep with idle promises, meaningless speeches and dec larations. He is a man who has a lifetime of achievements in the interests of the people to his credit. His declarations are not idle or mean ingless; they have been given force.
Wildcats A girl was clerking in a bank in a small town. By Have Claws hard saving she managed to put on deposit in that bank $500 and to purchase $600 in bonds-war bonds. One day a friend who had gone to the distant city returned to tell her that she had a position with a great and rich corporation known as the Standard Farms Development Company. This friend had a . plausible tongue, and so induced the Unsuspicious One to draw out her precious $500 and travel to the city-all on the promise that the girl was to become treasurer and director of the Standard Farms Development Company. This Unsuspicious Girl on arriving in the city found palatial offices and one Mr. Oil-Can, manager. He flattered her. He cajoled her. He told her she was brilliant, and that she could build herself into a great business organization. The upshot was that the girl gave not only her $1,100, but secured $1,000 in savings from her father, and gave that to him. Six months later the scales fell from her eyes. The Oily One said: "We will skin you out of everything. Now you remember to stay away from lawyers. I know more than the average p~acticing lawyer. I am too smooth for them. That is why I am here in this office. They can't catch me." It's just the old story-given us by a member of the Brother hood who lost "his all," in buying worthless stock sold by slick tongued frauds claiming to be interested in the welfare and progress of the labor movement. And our mails continue to be filled with stories telling us of the shameful, disgraceful, pitiable, and even laughable stock selling and investment schemes of every conceivable kind-in and out of the unions-that our members and others are continually falling for. 626 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL It happens every day. The law has not been invented that can catch the blue-sky crook. "Fraud," said a district attorney the other day, "is as various as human temperament." But always it is founded on misplaced confidence. The willing credulity of the aver age human being makes fraud possible. All of us know about the typical oil stock swindle. It is typical that few of us would "fall for" oil stock, and nearly every State has blue-sky laws to protect its citizens against the purchase of oil-stock and such other shadow investments. But virtually all wildcat schemes are worked on the principle of oil-stock cheats. Present violations of the blue-sky laws are trumped up through disgnising stock in one plausible form or another. One big swindle corporation recently hit upon the plan of selling contracts for deed on lands in Texas. The poor victim bought his share in the great Texas estate, got his contract for deed, paying 3 per cent interest, and subsequently was left holding the bag. In this instance an ex-governor of a great State was the head of the swindle corporation. It is impossible to classify the various kinds of fraud. They are too numerous. Religion is always a good bait, and love, and sympathy. Always confidence is abused. But understand that this is not written with the hope that it is going to save many victims of the smooth-tongue, plausible rogue who just keeps inside of the law. We are not foolish enough for that. If we can save only one of our membern from plunging head long into a stock swindling sewer we shall be glad. We have always thought that if every man exercised a little common sense in his business deals, he could be saved a great deal of trouble and sorrow and prevent many a heart-break. Understand these few things: 1. There are no honest ways to get rich quick. 2. No business is good enough, and no proposition sure enough that it will not stand first-hand investigation,. 3. District attorney offices are usually willing to advise prospec tive investors about stock and stock-selling plans. This office will also help you. 4. The law is with the investor, but it cannot give you complete protection. Frauds are too various. Finally, remember that wildcats have claws!

Then the democratic papers, with few exceptions, are equally considerate of Mr. Coolidge. They simply can not think of finding a single flaw in the man or all his past. Indeed, never in all history have the press of both parties shown so much tenderness and affec tion for the opposing candidate. "If you don't like Mr. Davis, your party's candidate, then it's all right to vote for Mr. Coolidge, or vice vellsa. But for heaven's sake don't disgrace yourself and country by turning down both choices of the old parties and vote for La Follette"-so the pleading goes. The Chicago "Journal of Commerce," which represents Bankers WORKERS AND OPERATORS 627 Row on LaSalle Street as completely as the "Wall Street Journal" represents the interests of Wall Street, tells the true story. It says editorially, July 10, "As between Mr. Davis and President Coolidge, it is hard to discern much differeuce. Essentially the demo cratic and the republican nominees for the presidency stand for the same thing." Of course they do. And they have for many years, and they will continue-that is, if the American people go on blindly trusting the press to do their thinking for them.
Thank General Dawes has done the Independent group one favor. Dawes In his acceptance speech at Evanston he boldly asserted that the real contest in November is between La Follette and Coolidge-in other words, between the producers and the workers of the country and the bankers and monopolists. Seldom has such plain speaking as the General's been forthcoming from the party of the privileged classes. It should be welcomed. The sooner the real issue in this country is clearly defined-as the self-confident banker, militarist and open-shopper defines it-the better it will be for all concerned. And we should add-.-the sooner will privilege be defeated.
Burton K. Here's a man whose words never drivel, smirk, cheat, Wheeler defraud, or simper. They trumpet truth fearlessly. "I am a Democrat," he asserts, "but not a Wall Street Democrat. I shall give my support and whatever influence I may possess to those candidates for office who have proved their fidelity to the interest of the people wherever they may be found, but I shall oppose every man on whatever ticket he may appear who bears the brand of the dollar sign." Strong words these-quite in contrast to the cut-and-dried studi ously contrived strength of the words of Calvin Coolidge and his fire-eating war general, Dawes. Strength-real strength-is of the essence of Burton Wheeler. His life has made him so. He is the son of a Massachusetts shoe maker, and he knows the experience of toil. He worked his way through college, and worked his way up in the legal profession of Montana where the going was made painful and rough for anyone who dared to oppose the Anaconda Copper Trust. Wheeler wrote and had passed workmen's compensation laws against the underhand, and open, full-time opposition of Anaconda. During the war he stood firm and refused to pervert his office as district attorney to sandbag people into Leavenworth, just because John D. Ryan, William Rockefeller, and Simon Guggenheim, copper magnates, told him to. Not a politician, he refused to take orders or be stampeded. When the people of Montana-in gratitude for these services sent him to Washington-he continued to fight, this time against the most powerful, corrupt, unscrupUlous, self-righteous gang of employer-politicians ever let loose on the land. The people now know the course of that brave story. They saw him fighting manfully against press, and high office, finally to win a victory for public decency. The workers watched the cowardly back-attack negotiated by Daugherty, Burns, and Lockwood, and rejoiced when the senatorial committee exonerated Wheeler. 628 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL This is a career to be proud of, but Wheeler is not the man to show shallow vanity or conceit. He has no false dignity. He is human, friendly, entirely devoid of heavy pretense. He likes people. He long ago made a choice-the choice of a strong man-as be tween comparative poverty and riches. He was not like John W. Davis, another lawyer, who preferred having Morgan for his client, rather than the common man. This life of Burton K. Wheeler suggests a very interesting line of speCUlation. In these trying times, when the war between monopoly and the masses is at its acutest stage, what are the traits of the trustworthy leader? Preeminently honesty. Thereafter, strength. Thereafter, ability. Burton K. Wheeler has all of these. He wins allegiance, because he deserves it.
