FAIR WAGES TO THE
WORKINGMAN.

Newton with-
a candidate for the
mayoralty 1913 and is of-
fering himself as a candidate
for the position of alderman.
Although he has changed his
mind so suddenly in regard to
the oflice he would seek, it is
hardly to be expected that his
has been changed.
Newton honestly be-
his platform as a
candidate for the mayoralty
he must surely consider it a
good one for an alderman. All
through the campaign ‘he has
been fairly shouting his head
olf about fair wages to the
workingman. If Mayor New-
ton is consistent he is just as
anxious to see that the me-
chanic receives a fair wage
also. As a sample of his anx-
iety in this respect the tender
of the Empire, Mayor Newton's
organ, for the publieation of
the civic “Nomination Notice”
is interesting. The advertise-
ment had its first insertion in
yesterday's Empire and occu-
pies a space one column wide
by thirteen and a half inches
deep, the matter being set solid
in the smallest type ordinarily
used for such advertisements.

Tenders were asked for ten
consecutive insertions of this
advertisement. The Empire

secured the business on a ten-
der of five dollars. The only
other tender put in was that of
The Daily News, its tender be-
ing $30.00. Boiled down,
Mayor Newton is selling ad-
vertising space to the cily at
less than 4 cents per inch,
while on page two of the Em-
pire the published price for
temporary advertisements is
$1.20 per inch. To anyone
with the slightest, knowledge
of the newspaper business the
price is simply ridiculous, yet
this is a sample of how Mayor
Newton would, were it in his
power, foree his competitors
to conduct their business, at
the same time that he preaches
a fair wage to the workingman.

At no time during the last eight

during 1911 its pre-eminence in

made even more secure than

“While the industry of lumber

throughout the United States, it
is interesting to note that nearly
36 per cent. of the total cul was
reported from the five states of
Washington, Louisiana, Missis-

“Furthermore, it will be ob-
