We wi sh, also, to express our ap ­preciation to Dr. Bessenyey for his excellent bit of work from the Sociology cla ss. It is truly unusual for any class to attain to the popu­larity which has come to the Socio­logy a.nd Political Science classes of this year, and such interest is worthy of more than passing notice.

Another bit of congratulations but when it does happen the student goes out to John Mehren, winner of grumbles to himself just as though the Stephen N. Moore Prize for Ora- the professor were at fault.

All thi s means that the product­ivity of human labor has increased imm ensely. The same nurl1ber of workers can produce vastly more than in former times; thE::y should ha ve more of the things that are pr oduced, that is more money for theh work enabling them to s~cul'e a grea t.er quantity, in value, of the things produced; there should be an equita ble divis ion of the g a ins re­sul t in g from economies and impre ve­ments as between labor and capital. The bare fa ct that a busine .. de­pression is upon us, th~lt becaus~ of unemployment laborers are offer ing themselves at a diminished wage, is no justification for a reduction. Were wag es as high as they ought to bave been at the time to the level 0i which it is proposed to reduce those now current ?
