Labor and Capital.
Every honest laborer should have
at the very least “a living wage” —
certainly pay sufficient to enable him
to provide proper food, clothing and
housing for himself and family, edu
cate his children, and with the right
spirit and practice of thrift lay up
something for a “rainy day” and for
old age.
The varying circumstances and
conditions under which labor is per
formed and families must live, make
it a difficult matter to say exactly
what that wage should be. The dif
ference in the size of families, their
varying needs and desires, compli
cate this question, and it would be
impossible to have a fixed rule cover
ing every industry.
A contented workman, taking an
intelligent interest in the business in
which he is employed, is a most valu
able asset to any concern and to the
community.
Capital is entitled to reasonable re
turns on its investment, and failure
to receive it inevitably results in a
cutting down of profitable employ
ment to labor.
Farmers cannot be expected to raise
crops at a loss and keep it up very
long, and people who invest their
money in enterprises will naturally
withdraw it if it brings them no re
turns. Thousands of acres of land
will have to lie idle if the farmer can
not make his business profitable, just
ns millions of money hav£ been with
drawn from productive industry the
past two years.
The writer once said something a-
bout “watered stocks” in a conversa
tion with President Harahan, of the
Seaboard, and we will never forget
his illuminating reply. “Do you sup
pose,” he said, “that men would be
willing to take the risk on the vast a-
mount of money it takes to build a
railroad through tho mountains be
tween Cedartown and Birmingham,
for instance, if bhey knew they were
going to get only 2 or 3 per cent on
their investment? They might better
put it out at interest in the first
place.”
And that was true enough, of
course. People with money are not
going to take extraordinary risks
without huving some chance of big
profits ns an inducement, and the
taking of such risks has been neces
sary in the past for the development
of tho country.
Also, if we were « millionaire, we
wouldn’t put our money into building
railroads now, would you?
An excellent young man, working
for a salary, once remarked to us:
“There is a straight fight between
capitnl and lubor, and there is no
middle ground.”
Yet that young man had wisely
saved his money and had bought a
home, and was to that extent a cap
italist.
Every man who labors ought to
have an ambition to become a capi
talist. So mote it be!
A city worker wno was getting
more for an hour’s labor than the av
erage farmer gets for a day, so to
nothing about time and n half over
time, once remarked to the writer:
“The farmer must raise more, so we
won’t have to pay such high prices.”
Thoughtless talk that! Good pri
ces for farm products and good wages
for town workers go together to make
good times, and you are not going to
see one without the other very long at
a time.
Like our churches and all good in
stitutions, the worst enemies organiz
ed labor has are those within its own
ranks. For instance, a contractor —
not in Cedartown, by the way,-—once
told the writer about his being forced
out of business. He knew what an
honest day’s work was, and made his
bids accordingly. His hands dawdled
on the job, and made it cost so much
that he was obliged to quit
Big corporations would welcome
the collective bargaining demanded
by the unions if slackers and incom
petents were weeded out.
There is nothing more vital to this
country today than that capital and
labor should be brought into friendly
relations, for the good of each and
for the general welfare. Both sides
will have to get rid of the leadership
of some men who care more for show
ing their power than anything else,
and both will have to use common
sense. It certainly ought to be pos
sible for both to adopt a “live and let
live” policy.”
Too great centralization of power
is harmful to either capital or labor,
and some elasticity is necessary.
We have had a great coal strike
ever since April 1st, for instance,be
cause some mines cannot pay as high
wages as others, yet the effort is be-

ing made to force all in each district
to the same basis. The easiest way,
of course, would be to close the poor
er mines, just ns the poorer railroads
arc* today being scrapped, but this is
hard on the people who have put
money into them and throws many
out of employment.
It’s a hard proposition that this
country is up against, and it is unfor
tunate thnt the Golden Rule had not
been studied long ago to some pur
pose by both pnrties. Capital can ex
ist without labor, and labor can exist
without capital, but both need the
other if they hope to accomplish any
thing.
The situation is still further com
plicated by such conditions as havo
arisen on some lines in the South in
the Shopmen’s strike, where the man
agement and the men had always got
ten along amicably; the roads valuod
the men and wanted them to stay, but
the Shopmen had to make choice be
tween their jobs and the national or
ganization to which they belonged,
and most of them chose the latter. No
one should even think of criticizing,
them for this, for they consider it a
matter of principle, and most of us
would doubtless obey orders just as
they have done. Here in Cedartown
the Central Railway Shopmen are
among our most valued citizens,and
everybody hopes that the trouble —
for which neither the Central Railway
nor themselves are responsible —may
soon be amicably adjusted and they
will be at work gain.
And in conclusion—
Any attempt of Capital to destroy
organized labor will fail.
And Labor can gain far more by
being on friendly terms with Capital
than by carrying a chip on its shoul
der all the time.
Some one s all the time taking

Lord Northcliffe, of England, one

Judge W. W. Brandon, of Tusca

Alabama in the primary last week.
A significant fact in connection
with all the primaries in the various
states last week, except the wet-Ger-
man victory of Senator Reed in Mis
souri, is that the beer and light wine
advocates were badly beaten.
For the first six months of 1922
Georgia is ranked fourth among all of

The party that played politics by
putting the responsibility for the fi
nancial depression of Cleveland’s sec

although every student of affairs
knew that it was the result of world
conditions and that the President wor

object now to the Democrats using
“Harding and Hard Times” as their
slogan. “What is sauce for the
goose is also sauce for the gander,"
and the Republicans are going to have
to swallow a bitter dose of their own
medicine at the polls in November.
When Tom Hardwick made his cam*

that we had never heard as many mis
