2 IL per cent. per annum. Dividing
the twenty-five years into two parts, 1t
was found that the rate of increase was
8 per cent. in the former and 2 per cent.
in the latter part and it might fairly
| be assumed that during the next TWEEN
ty-five years the increase, notwlthstand-
| ing the growth of population, would not
| be more than 10 per cent. per ahnum
on the average, and probably less. Con-
sequently, in the year 1926 the output
should not exceed 100000, 900 tons. Look
ing at the coal fields of Great Britain
one could see counties the best Of whose
coal would be exhausted by that time
Very few mining royalties of any mag
nltude were unlet and the question
arose, Whence was this additional S0,-
100000 tons to be derived beyond what
We're now working? The answer of
those who had not studied the question
was to go deeper; but unfortunately,
when the mines reached the milestone
grit they had touched the bottom, and
very many collieries were in that posi-
ton now.
Some twenty-five years ago Great
Britain supplied so per cent. of the
worlds coal consumption, and now sup
piled so per cent, while twenty-five
years ago the United States of America
supplied Is per cent. of the worlds coal
consumption, and now supplied 30 per
cent. According to eminent experts in
Lanarkshire, whence the Scottish coal
supply was chiefly drawn, the exhaus-
ton of the upper seams would finish
their cheaply worked Goals; in Durham
and Northumberland there was very lit
tie inlet coal, and this remark applied
with even greater force to Lancashire.
In Yorkshire the best seams of coal
would be exhausted in fifty years, and
the coal fields which We're inlet would
probably cause such a subsistence in the
low lying lands that the damage to the
surface through flooding and consequent
permanent loss of land for agricultural
purposes would prevent them from bsing
worked In the Midland district all the
profitable mines would be exhausted be-
fore fifty years We're out. They had,
therefore, South Wales left as a stand |
by, and all the best coal there was al |
ready leased and yet, Notwithstanding |
all these facts, nearly 10 per cent of all
the coal got was left in the pits and lost
forever.
Such being the situation Mr.. LongdOn |
wants a duty of Sd. per ton on all coal
exported. Such tax would tend to
keep valuable fuel at home where Eng |
land would undoubtedly want it before
long, and it would bring in e1,000,00O |
per annum, which would give los. per
week to 1000 old or disabled miners. and |
thus provide for golfers the old-age pen
sions
