"readjustment"
The federal reserve board in Washington gave out a state-
ment about general business and financial conditions during
the closing months of 1920.
"Business readjustment" is still the main feature
"business development."
This readjustment, the board says, has been accompanicd
by a further decline of prices, which has brought the level
showi} by the board's index number to 190 per cent of the
level of 1913—a decline for the month of about 8V* per cent.
In other words, prices of necessities are still nearly
double what they were in 1913.
The reserve board also says that there has been an in-
crease of unemployment growing out of reductions of busi-
ness activity, which have cut operations to figures varying
from 40 to 75 per cent of normal, and this has affected labor j
unfavorably.
Wage cuts running as high as 20 to 25 per cent in some
lines have accompanied the shrinkage of demand and there
has been a falling off in export trade.
In other words, there is not only widespread unemploy-1
ment but wages have been cut as high as 20 and 25 per cent,
although prices have declined only 8'/a Per cent-
On the other hand, the board reports that banking power |
has been well maintained, and that normal credit accommo-1
dation has.been extended to "legitimate" business.
And therefore the country is safe. And the government |
still lives. The "banking power"—that is the "true profit" of i
our economic system.

nig railroad brotherhoods are try-
ing to keep independent railroad la-
bor organizations from participating
in the hearings before the United
States railroad labor board. Earl E.
H. Morton, president of the order of
railway station agents, claimed to-
day.
In an interview with the United
Press, Morton pointed out that these
independent organizations represent
300,000 men, almost one-flfth of the
railroad labor personnel.
"The big brotherhoods," said Mor-
ton, "are trying in every way to de-

J. L. Eldrldge, senior vice presi-
dent of the railroad yardmasters of
America, another of the independent
organizations, intimated that thero
would be a strenuous fight to get
their case before the board.
"We have petitioned the board to
be new parties to the hearings,"
said Eldridge, "and we expect a fav-
orable answer before the close of
the week."
Referring to the efforts of the
brotherhoods to organize the yard-
masters, Mr. Eldridge said:
"It Is not reasonable that a groin
of men whom It is our duty to s*
pervise should have control over
working conditions and wages. It
would curtail the authority of sub-
ordinate officials and demoralize the
service."
The hearings on appointment of
boards of adjustment will probably
continue for several weeks.

BOLD SINN FEIN RAID

Today Coal Oil Johnny is dead. His | not on Bpcaklng terms and with of-
life teaches the foolishness of dis- investigation of their quarrel
liking or antagonizing wealth for its "
own sake. Coal OU Johnny (real I m prospect, the three United States
name John W. Steele), was Intended navy balloonlsts were to start for
for a hard working, useful farmer. New York late today.
Providence located him on a small
farm, Just where he "belonged." But
they struck oil on the farm where
he lived with his mother. She put
the money away <;arefully until one
day, when the fire was low, she
threw a little oil on It. That ended
her, and Johnny got the fortune.
He had five hundred thousand dol-
lars in gold und greenbacks, with a
thousand dollars a day coming in.
So he did many things. He took a
bath in champagne, hired a big hotel,
invited everybody to Join in free, ran
bis own minstrel show without
( barging admission, bought another
hotel because he wanted the satis-
faction of discharging a clerk that
had failed to appreciate his import-
ance. I
He has just died in poverty, work-
ing for a railroad and living with
his wife in one end of a little rail-
road station in Nebraska. A thou-
sand dollars a day, -and Coal Oil
Johnny spent it all wastefully. That
really "dangerous" wealth; it
ruins the owner and ruins others.
The other kind of oil man, John
D. Rockefeller, has ono hundred
thousand dollars a day, and a great
deal irfore. The money is not wasted,
but spent in ostentation. Hundreds
of millions of it have gone to educa-
tion and philanthropy, and what
more important, to scientific in-
vestigation that benefits every
human being on earth.
It would be better, of course, if the
people could own, develop and use
wisely, the nation's natural wealth.
But do not overlook the difference
between oil wealth as represented by
Coal Oil Johnny - a farce, a calamity
and a waste- and oil wealth as rep-
resented by John D. Rockefeller, who
employed the ablest engineers
produce his wealth, and then em-
ployed the ablest scientists and edu-
cators to help him spend it.
It isn't what a man has, it is what
he does with what he has, what he
wastes, his corrupting influence on
legislation, the discontent he creates
in others by ostentation, his encour
agement of vice and dishonesty, via
the race track, and other things that
sometimes make excessive wealth
criminally harmful.
George P. Hampton, managing di-
rector of the Farmers' National
Council, gives you figures about
wealth that are supposed to make
you shiver. He says: "The thirty-
three richest Americans In 1913
owned nearly five thousand million
dollars." He is mistaken. The
thirty-three richest Americans owned
a great deal more than that, but they
do not say much about It.
Two per cent of the entire na-
tional wealth, says Mr. Hampton, is
owned by thirty-throe richest Amer-
icans. That also is inaccurate, for
99 per cent of the national wealth,
human labor and intelligence, is
owned by individuals, at least tech-
nically, all free.
The thing to worry about is not
the amount that any individual
owns, but how he got it and what
he does with it. Leaving out gam-
blers, profiteers and other thieves,
great fortunes are usually built up
by hard efforts, self-control, effi-
ciency, and especially by improved
methods of organization and indus-
trial production.
Improved industry, greater pro-
duction, better organization are of
the utmost importance and greatest
value to this nation. The number
Lieutenants Hinton and Farrell
greeted each other only with scoffs
following Farrell's attack on Hin-
ton late yesterday. When Informed
that Hinton had written to his wife
in New York that Farrell had weak-
ened, had asked the others to kill
him and offered his body for food,
arrell knocked Hinton down with
a right and left to the jaw. The
episode occurred in a trapper's cabin
after Farrell had demanded an ex-
planation from Hinton and none had
been forthcoming.
The clash between Farrell and
Hinton came when Hinton entered
the room and Informed Farrell he
should not say anything for publica-
tion.

County Growers' Association

By April.
"The Oklahoma County Cotton
Growers' association expects to be
ready to handle for sale the entire
1920-1921 cotton crop by April 1,"
declared G. L. Gibbs, state organizer
of cotton growers associations, on
Wednesday. "Over 1,000 members
will be enrolled by the end of next
Week, which means that Oklahoma
county will lead the state in the
number of cotton farmers in the
'sell-direct' organization."
The membership drive, Gibbs said,
will start Monday and continue
throughout the week. The county
will be divided into ten districts
into each of which two organizers
will be sent. These men are ex-
pected to visit every cotton farmer.
One mass meeting will be held in
each district every night during the
drive.
"After the drive we will find the
best market for our cotton and Bell
without giving brokers five or six
commissions," Gibbs said. "Already
150 farmers have without solicita-
tion joined the association. This

Col. Sol Long Attributes the
Most of World's Disease
to Its Use.
Declaring that all the havoc
wrought by wars, pestilence, kings
and debauchery could not be com-
pared with the disastrous results of
vaccination, Col. Sol L. Long, gen-
eral attorney for the various drug-
less organizations, entered into a
scientific survey of the subject of
vaccination at the Carver Chiroprac-
tic College, Tuesday night.
•'History Garbled.*1
In opening his address. Long
stated that he had come all the way
from Fort Wayne, Ind., to give the
lecture here because the Carver col-
lege was the home of scientific chir-
opractic teaching.
"The history of vaccination." de-
clared Long, "has been garbled by
the medical profession who trace its
origin back to the Austrian, Doctor
Jenner. As a fact, vaccination has
been practiced for 4,000 years as re-
ligious rites by pagan and semi-civ-
ilized nations. In India. Livingston
found in his travels, that the natives.^
were practicing It much to the detri-
ment of themselves.
"Stanley, in his book 'The Rescue
of Livingston* relates his experienc#
witbftsavalges who practiced a simi*-
lar system and the Chinese in 1241 4
were using similar methods, so it la
definitely established that it did not
originate with Doctor Jenner."
"Disastrous Results/*
According to Long, continual in-
jection of the virus or pus from dis-
eased animals into the living organ-
ism. has caused most of the disease
extant in our civilization.
"When you interfere with the or-
dinary course of nature, you cannot
tell to what disastrous resulta it
may lead, therefore vaccination posi-
tively interfering with this course of
nature, is a shock to the entire sys-
tem, specifically affecting the gland-
uular system," Long said.
Ix>ng stated that goiter among fe-
males, was directly due in the ma-
jority of cases, to the effects of vac-
cination and that the injection of
vaccine forms a feeding ground for
veneral disease and that cancer and
tuberculosis were never known until
after the introduction of vaccine.
"Pennsylvania Suffers."
"The American Medical Associa-
tion at their recent meeting at At-
lantic City congratulated themselves
on the extension of compulsory vac-
cination while in another depart-
ment of the assembly they are de-
ploring the increase of defective eye-
sight among the young people, the
j cause of which has been traced to
I vaccine," Long said.
! He stated that in Pennsylvania,
j where they have had in operation a
! drastic coinpujsory vaccination law.
I most of the children of 9 or 10 years
of age have enlarged thyroid glands.
"Chiropractic treatment can over-
come the effects of vaccine by pro-
ducing in the relation of tissues a
free radiation of nerve stimulus that
may be directed to the seat of the
toxin accumulation in which normal
depuration ensues, thus relieving
the organism of the poison," he de-
clared.
He stated that he considered it a
breach of personal freedom to force
the injection of poison into the hu-
man system
