OKLAHOMA LEADER
Work and Waste
By OSCAR AMKRINGER
Imagine a people, half of whom devote their time, labor,:
energy and ability to producing the good things of life, while
the other half is spending its time, labor, energy and ability
fighting over the things produced by the other half.
Imagine, further, that fighting over the products of labor
is much more lucrative than production itself and that conse-
quently more and more of the producers are going over to
the fighters.
Now, do some more imagining and imagine that the ever-
swelling host of fighters is finally absorbing so much of the
product of labor that there it not enough left to feed the pro-
ducers.
What kind of an arrangement would you call that, broth-
er? Crazy? Oh, no. Thit is business. Legal, legitimate, rec-
ognized business as conducted in every civilized (?) country
the world over.
•*•••••
There is a tidal drift of workers from productive occu-
pations into the more lucrative field of commercial combat.
Between 1870 and 1910 the persons engaged in commercial
activity increased 240 per cent, while those engaged in pro-
ducing food and clothing decreased 85 per cent. Those occu-
pations which are purely combative, such as salesmen, in-
creased 42G per cent.
As a direct result of the increase in the commercial fight-
ing army and the corresponding reduction in the number of
producers, the cost of doing business is steadily going up. For
this vast array of combatants must live and their living must
of necessity be deducted from the share of the producer.
We have too many business men, middle men and wasting
men, with the result that of every dolar spent by the con-
sumer today only 49.6 cents goes for the cost of producing
what he buys. The other 60.4 cents arc wasted in the com-
mercial combat.
«*•*•***•
To illustrate the social waste of this system of commer-
cial combat, or competition, let us examine the business struc-
ture of a city like Springfield.
Springfield has 60,000 population. There are 237 grocery
stores in Springfield—that is one grocery for every 210 inhab-
itants. Then there are 61 retail meat markets, 44 drug stores,
4 retail coal dealers, 50 coal mining companies and ONE POST
OFFICE. The last named does not belong in the field of com-
mercial combat and is only mentioned as a gentle reminder
tending to show that if one post ollice can deliver the mail
of our city, groceries, meats, bread, drugs and coal could be
delivered by a somewhat similar and efficient method.
*********
Here, then, is waste. The system is decidedly too top
heavy. There are too many grocery stores, druggists, meat
markets and—coal companies. The cost of competition, that
is, the cost of combat (the cost of fighting) is too high. And
especially is this true in the case of coal.
Why in the name of business sagacity, efficiency, horse
sense and whatnot should there be fifty coal companies in
Springfield—or, for that matter, in Illinois?
People do not buy coal because somebody wants to sell
it. They buy it because they must have it. Moreover, they
never buy more than they need and that irrespective of how
many coal companies' staffs and salesmen may hang around
this or any other city.
Coal is dug out of the ground by miners and not scraped
off skyscrapers by stenographers. All the clerical staffs and
sales forces on earth can rot sell an ounce more of coal than
is burned.
Then talk about "too many miners!"
***••*•*•
President Ludlow, of the American Institute of Mining
Engineers, recently made the statement that coal mines in-
creased from 5,700 in 1914 to 11,000 in 1921.
Why this over-development of mines when, as we are
told, coal mining is a losing proposition? And from where,
let us ask, did the money come from to establish nearly five
thousand new mines in seven years?
Did it come from the profits made my the operators in
those blessed war years? Do they represent some of those
two thousand per cent dividends of which Mr. McAdoo was
talking? Or were these holes sunk to sink those profits so
the government might not get its share of the excess profits
tax?
All these are questions we leave to the operators and
their newspaper lackeys to answer.
The fact is that there are too many mines, mining com-
panies, office staffs, salesmen, stores, banks, office buildings,
advertisers, middle men, duplication men and wasting men.
The cost of doing business is sapping the strength of our
nation.
In the field of production we are.becoming more and more
scientific and on the field of distribution more and more an-
archistic.
Fewer producers produce more than ever and an ever-
Increasing horde of business combatants waste more than ever.
Half of the wealth cheated by labor is wasted in com-
petitive business while the wasters shout their heads off yell-
ing "work cheaper, work more, produce more, so that we
auii' compete more, fight more, waste more"
But aren't there too many miners, too?
No, not so long as .here are people shivering in the icy
blast of winter for lack of coal. Not so long as farmers are
burning food for fuel.
There never will be too many miners any more than there
ever will be too many carpenters, tailors, farmers or fiddle
makers.
The desires of men for life, health, happiness, comfort,
security, art and luxury are unlimited. The time will never
come when men have more than they want. In proof thereof,
we offer tht horrible example of our own billionaires.
However, if the incredible should happen, if at some
far distant day men sh.uld produce more than they are ca-
pable of enjoying, then let us hope that by that time they
will have sense enough to lay off working and go fishing.
Moral: A flea bitten dog may scratch three shifts per
day without pay and yet be starving.

7. If you hear a criticism of a

8. If you know nothing about the

we have about a million dollars in
the treasury.

An Answer to Several Letters.
DO you remember when I told you Kt'out the time Mr. Seal traveled
and traveled to reach the Knd-of-the-Karth It took him twice ;i>-
ns long aa It would have taken any one else because, as he has
no f*et. he cannot walk, but has to shuffle and drag himself
along on his tail flappers.
I have had several letters from readers asking what the difference Is
between Seals, Walrus and Sea Lions.
To begin with, there are two kinds of Seals—the Hair Seal and the F'ir
Seal, and It Is this latter one that is so persistently hunted for Its beautiful,
valuable fur. The Hair Real differs from the Fur Seal, as far as skin
covering is concerned. In having no thick coating of fur under the long outer
hair.
Sea Lions, which are very large, are often wrongly called S~a Bears
The Sea Lion Ih n /inb-otary. while the Sea Brar Is ;i )u< '-tar> belonging
to a apeclflcally different group. In uplte of their formidable appearance
Sea Lions are timid creatures, easily led and as f-aslly driven even t v such
trivial means an threatening them with waving flags and spreal umbrellas.
They are hunted for their oil and other body products, and not for fur.
As for Walrus, though related to the grrnt Seal family they are very-
different, being bull-like in form and extremely clumsy. While young they
are clothed In faded brown fur. but. losing thin as they grow, the older ones
are almost naked Their greatest pride lies In a pair of enormous iv- ry
tusks, while, strange to say, the tusks of the female are much longer than
those of the mole They dig with these for clams and mollusks (though
they also eat seaweed), and these are used aa well for climbing over the Ice
covered rocks and as weapons of defense.
The whole Seal family is distantly related to the Hear As far as their
life habits are concerned. Seals, Sea Lions and Walrus live in very much
the same way. Perhaps you remember what Mr. Seal told Stella long, long
ago when he went to see her with the wish tucked away down In his old
Seal heart to be very brave Do you remember hln reason '
Well. I'll tell you. Mr. Seal then said to our little Wishing Falr> "We
old family Seals keep our wives (for we have more than one) on c-h.isen Ice
ground, and then a lot of craiy young boy Seals who v ant to p.ay and
fight and tussle, because they haven't sense enough to do anything else,
suddenly come along. They are so full of spirits that they i-hang*' all our
peace and quiet into a perfect riot and try to break up our families, and
w« old fellows feel a little out of it. 1 want to be awfully strong so as to
be able to protect ray family."
Although spending most of their time In the sea. once a year all the
bulls pick out guarded positions on land, and it is a matter of jealousy,
pride and much fighting foi each to try to induce the greatest number of
cows (as Mrs. Seal Is called) to share each special province. The young
bulls are called bachelors, and these, whose lovely fu - has as yet not become
battle scarred by
many seasons of
fierce fights, are the
ones most hunted for
their pelts.

leave them too thick In the rows un-

the thinning does no good. Trans-
planting Is most essential as the
check to the growth seems to thicken

three or four leaves have been made,
