J. P. Morgan---John L. Lewis
_J. P. Morgan, the internationa! banker, and John L.
Lewis, the stormy C. I. O. leader, would seem, at first glance;
to be as far apart as the poles—a sharp study in contrasts.
ut last week. on the same day, both men issued statements which reveal philosophies strikingly similar.
Said Banker Morgan, in commenting on the furore about
devious tricks to evade the income tax: ‘Anybody is justified
_in doing anything so long as the law does not say it is wrong
It’s no pleasure to pay taxes, and you don’t pay more than
you have to.”
Said C. I. O. Leader Lewis, testifying on the new wage
and hour bill: “‘] favor the establishment of minimum wages
by legislation. but I oppose going farther than that. For exfanple. I wouldn't want the government to go into the mining
industry, find that pay is higher than a fair wage and order a
rdeuction. That would destroy all our efforts at collective
bargaining.”
In effect, both men said: “Get all you can get;
little as you can get away with!”
The contrast is not between Mr. Morgan and Mr. Lewgive ac
is, but between their common philosophy and the principle:

SACRAMENTO, June 14—California’s state government has_ saved

been $148,900 a year during the four
year period, or a total in excess of
$590,000.
The fact that many of the pogitions from which employees were retired were not filled immediately,
or were abolishel, accounted for
more than half of the savings. Other economies were effected by filling
the vacant position at the minimum
salary fo the class, which in most
cases was lower than the salary re. § and ALWAYS in SEASON

I wonder at this world of ours—
Each time and tide and season,
We've reached the age of reason;
But some thing seems to answer,
For still with airs bombastic,
We play the same peculiar tricks
Which heaven deems fantastic.
I wonder however, at the ease and grace with which
truly great men and women employ the common touch.

I wonder why General Pershing was vexed when a reporter jested about that befeathered sombrero.
Please, general dear, be kind to reporters; they are just
people working at their jobs; behind them are the busy editors whose commands must be obeyed, they represent the
_ public—your public which you affront when you affront
them.
We, the eels may be overly curious and a bit too familiar, but for many years we have paid you sincere tributes of
love, admiration and respect; these are not trifles to be scowled upon; unleash your sense of humor, unlimber your gift of
repartee, give us a story and give it with a smile.
It’s easy enough to-be pleasant,
When feathers are waving on high, :
But the man worth while is the man who can smile

“Family ties’? are strong at the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad. The romance of railroading shas built up an organization of employees, many of whom have been receiving pay checks-for many years.
‘Loyalty to the Narrow Gauge and the enjoyment of ‘a good place to
