STANDARD OiL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA 'A Nebraska Institution' Stations an-1 Dealers everywhere in Nebraska WHEPE THE MONEY GOES it cos: the average American family a little more than one-third j of its income for food. The average wage-earner has an income of SI,- j 513.29 a year, or just under $30 a week, out ol wnicn ne spenus 48.ai for food, according to the most re- cent statistical compilation of figures on the cost of loving. Rent, whether in the form of maintenance and taxes jon a heme, or in actual rent paid to la landlord, averages a little over one- fifth of the total income or, in thejleaders who joined in these denun- case of the average wage-earner, 1342.14. Clothing for the entire fani ,ily. on the same scale, comes to of?237.60, leaving $385.04 out of this average wage-earner s income for miscellaneous expenditures. That is substantially a quarter of j the average worker's yearly earn ings, out of which he has to pay doc tor's bills, cost of educating his chil idren. all amusements, his life insur ance premiums, if any, and every thing eise that he spends money for. On the same basis of figuring the average wage earner spends $16. 33 for automobiles. Since the cheapest automobile sells for around $500, this means that only one wage earner in thirty buys a car in any given year. Vith ordinary care, however, even a eu:s. It is a B 'J t" r "t;i'imntwn t riot i t Imut era llt ot every ten wage workers in Amer ican owns an automobile. Doctor's bills for the average fam ily run nearly four times the cost of automobiles.

Min isters of the Labor Cabinet now in power have been using the occasion jto appiaud the Liberal Government jwhich was responsible for the 1910 Settlement for its courage in taking a step denounced by its opponents at the time as "political insanity." And it is fair to add that Sir Austen Chamberlain, one of the Conservative ciations 21 years ago, now magnani mously admits tha' he was wrong. At the time the Union was formed there certainly seemed to be cousid erable grounds lor apprehension. For three years, from 1899 to 1902, the armies of Great Britain and of lhe two Boer Republic , the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, had been locked in strife. Peace was not de clared till long after the whole area had been occupied by tho British forces and the last Boers in the field had been compelled to surrender. The territory was then annexed and for some years governed as a crown col ony under the direct control of Down ing Street. But the Ministry which came into power in 1906 was determined that government by consent should be substituted for government by con quest. It rejected half measures. It refused to contemplate "freedom by installments." It went all out for the policy of conciliation and trust. Accordingly, in 191 0, Cape Colony, Natal, the Transvaal and the Orange River Colony were united into a sin gle state, with a free constitution un der which citizens of British and Boer origin were grant complete equality. The trust was not betrayed. Though the Boers were in a majoiity in the newly constituted Union, the Government in which their represen tatives were piedominant entered in to a loyal partnership with the other governments of the British Empire. During the great war only four years later, a Boer. General Botha, who had previously fought against the British, put down an insurrection of his countrymen which aimed at breaking away from the British Em pire. His colleague and successor. General Smuts, wa- a valued coun seler to the Allies throughout the war. It is useful to appreciate the les son of this experience in terms of a more modern problem. Today, a sec tion of English opinion is denounc ing the proposal to grant a generous measure of selr-government to India, just as 21 years ago many denounced the proposal to form an autonomous Union of South Africa. It is true that the problem of India does not present a perfect parallel, for it is compli cated by questions of religion and other internal differences which split the Indians themselves into many camps. ' And it is well to remember that the 1910 settlement in South Africa failed to solve the question of a satisfactory status for the color ed population. But as in 1910 in the case of South Africa, so now, in respect of India. Great Britain has to decide for or against a policy of magnanimity. It has to choose between a grudging consent to the barest minimum of concession and a whole-hearted ges ture of generosity which, step by step and with the necessary safe guards, will trust the peoples of In dia with evr widening powers to de termine their own future. The prece dent of 21 years ago should help the British nation to make a decision. :o: WHY DODGE THE ISSUE There can be no argument over the fact that prosperity of the railroads iB essential to prosperity of the na tion as a whole. While there are other large and necessary methods of transporting passengers and freight, the railroads are the backbone of the whole trans portation structure. Another fact that cannot be argued is that income must be sufficient to pay wages, interest on stocks and bonds, taxes and upkeep. Railroad revenues are not at the present time, and have not been for Romo time past, large enough to prop erly cover these expenses in spits of rigorous economy. Therefore, there seems to be one f several things left to do increase freight and passenger traffic at pres ent rates, or increase transportation rates, or reduce quality of service, or further cut operating expense by re ducing wages from the presidents and higher executive officers right down the line or combine a little of all four alternatives. Drastic action will be necessary if the roads remain solvent and con tinue to render our nation the best and most efficient railroad service the world has ever known.
