W CRUDE EDR MGIMUE Council Committee Agrees to Hasten Work on West End- Grant Park Boulevard. Definite promises of Important street Improvements have been obtained to day as a result of complaints by com mittees of citizens to council’s streets Committee. The committee agreed with the south side citizens that the work of building the boulevard from West End to Grant park should’proceed at once. The com mittee also agreed to a new grade for Georgia avenue, an improvement not contemplated in the original plans. The city now has $3,000 to spend on this work, and. with the citizens, mem bers of the streets committee went be fore the county commissioners todaj and urged that the improvement be be gun immediately. The building of this boulevard lias been authorized by council since 1910. The work is in progress and under passes have been provided at the junc tion of Glenn street and the Southern and Central railroads. But the prop erty owners have become very much dis satisfied with the progress of the work and a large committee of citizens, with R. R. Otis as chairman, was appointed at a recent mass meeting to see that proper progress is made. Contracts were let to Thomas Mead or, Jr., for the paving with wood blocks of West Hunter street, from Whitehall street to Madison avenue, at $2.75 per square yard and Poplar street, from Peachtree street to Broad street, for $3 per square yard. The difference in the price Is due to the fact that only a Short block of Poplar street is to be paved. A committee of citizen- was prom ised that the West Mitchell street Im provement would be taken up at once. DUC DE CASES DIES. PARIS.

HILLES By CHARLES D. HILLES, Chairman of the Republican National Committee. NEW YORK. Aug. 31.—Have you ever stopped to think where the "mini mum wage" proposition of the Third Term party leads to? Do you know what it means and where it will end? The Third Term platform asserts that "minimum wageyeommissions should be established * * * to determine the standard which the pubffc ought to sanction as a minimum." To the wage earner who is underpaid that sounds peculiarly attractive So does the promise of health to the sick man. But it is an old adage that "all is not gold that glitters." and this applies as often to economic remedies as to patent med icines. The proposition in its simplest terms is that the government should fix a rate of wages less than which no employer would be permitted to pay. Governments are controlled by political parties, so that it also means that a political party would fix the lowest wage which any employer could pay. Now, what would that lowest wage be? That, of course, would have to de pend on the political party. The Re publican party, if it continued to hold its national convention first, would fix the minimum wage for an eight-hour day of an able-bodied man. for instance, at $3. Then,the Democratic party would hofcl its convention. It would be ob vious that to hold its own it must make the rate equally high. But the Demo cratic party, like other parties, is al ways anxious to do more in its plat form than hold its own. It wants to win supporters from the other parties. To do this it would naturally fix the minimum wage for which it stood at $3.50 a day. Then would come an in dependent party and it would raise the minimum to $4 a day, for unskilled labor, other “minimums” in proportion. Then would come the Socialist party, determined to make the strongest bid for the support of labor. Its minimum would probably be $5. and the labor party, determined not to be outdone, would make it $6. “Would Labor Get It?" Os course, that would be al! well and proper so far as the rate of wages was concerned, and no one would object to labor receiving such reward, but would it receive it? Os course, if unskilled labor cost $6 for an eight-hour day, skilled labor would have to be paid in proportion if men were to continue to take the trouble to become skilled la borers. The skillful brickmason who now receives three times the rate paid to the unskilled laborer would demand that his wage be three times greater, or $lB a day. Even suppose, for sake of argument, that these rates of wages were fixed at one election, where would it end? At the next election each po litical party would seek to outbid the other until the "minimum” would be- ONE OFFICIAL PAYS $lO TO CALL ANOTHER A LIAR ■MACON, GA., Aug. 31.—Building In spector James Holly called Steve Mc- Kenna. the clerk of the recorder's court, a liar.

IN SEARCH OF FIFTH WIFE FOR HAREM LOS ANGELES, CAL., Aug. 31.

AUGUST 31. 1912. come a maximum little dreamed of to day. As I have said, no friend of labor could object to its generous compensa tion, but would labor receive the wages promised by the party platform? Would not the effect be so as to in crease the cost of building, of manu facturing. of production of every sort, that no one could afford to buy the products, so that building and nwim faeturing would cease? For if such rates of wages could be established for the worker in the factory, in construc tion work and in building, is it possible that any labor could be induced to work on the farm? Even now, when wages in the city are good, labor on the farm is so scarce that crops go to waste and the fanners are constantly complaining —and the complaint of the present high cost of living is universal But suppose the employer were for bidden to add the increased cost of la bor to lhe price of his product, would that not remedy the defect? If that were done, the employer would imme diately demand, and with justice, that the government fix the price of the ma teiial he was compelled to buy. With a minimum wage and a maximum price prescribed by law the employer's only protection against extortion by land lords and owners of all classes of ma terial would be maximum prices fixed by law. Os course, that is the golden age dreamed of by the Socialist, and to that alone does the third party plat form lead; but 1 venture to assert that never will a political party, or a gov ernment controlled b.v political parties, prove able to fix the rates of wages in a manner either just or satisfactory to labor. Labor unions can do much to effect just wages, but they can do it because they are not political organizations; because they are almost free from po litical influences, and because they fix their attention on the needs and rights each of a particular trade, or at most a number of affiliated trades. The goY einment can do much to assist; can break up combinations‘which put inor dinate power as employers into the hands of a few men; can impose a tar >l; which will protect the American workman from unfair competition from abroad; can compel the use of safety appliances. and even enforce the ob servance of the eight-hour law on all the work which it controls. But the fixing of wage scales must be left to be worked out by the working men through his union and the employer. That is the point to which no govern ment can go and give satisfaction. Let no man who is attracted by- the alluring promise of the Third Term party take my word for it. Like President Taft, 1 am perfectly content to trust the decision* to"' the intelligence of the American workmen—only I urge that he shall think it out for himself and not let any persuasive politician do his thinking for him.
