UNJUST CRITICISM.

In the past few weeks there has
been a great deal of unjust criti-
cism heaped upon the Ignite coal
operators of this state. Any fair
minded person, at all familiar with
the conditions, and who is with
out personal grievance, will admit
this. However, anti-coal trust
talk, just at this time-a time
when it has been impossible to
supply the demand for coal-has
proved very popular. And with
out any merited reason-an action
that seems akin to that of killing
the goose that laid the golden
egg-many of the state papers
have been making all sorts of
charges against the owners of coal
mines and advocating legislation
that, if enacted, would practically
put every operator in North Da-
kota out of business. For ex-
ample, ore paper in the Valley,
said a few days ago that a law
should be enacted which would
compel the owner of a coal mine
to ship coal to any individual ask
ing it. This would mean that the
Consolidated Coal Co. would, if
SO requested, be compelled to
ship coal to any dead beat in Man.
dan or any other place in the state.
The facts are that Stark county
has a half dozen properties, just
as good as the one owned by the
Consolidated Coal Co. at Lehigh,
four miles east of Dickinson, and
repeated efforts have been made
to get capitalists to develop some
of these properties. Other coun-
ties of the state also have good
coal beds which are waiting de-
velopment, and what is needed
now is the encouragement of CAPT.
tai in this direction. The state is
growing rapidly, new settlers and
new industries are on every hand
and the local consumption of Goa.
is already beyond all expectation
With more mines opened up, the
people will be able to get quicke,
service, and even if the price i.
the same, there will be more gen,
eral satisfaction.
The charge has been repeatedly
made that the coal operators wer.
charging exhorbitant prices, blu
the PRESS fails to see how this ap
plies to the Consolidated Coal Co
The price of coal on board tn,
cars at Lehigh is S1.25 per tor
which, while an advance of 25
over the price charged a year ago
does not seem to be out of pro
portion with the price bein,
charged for other commodities.
The Press is glad to see som
of the leading papers of the stat
giving this coal question som
consideration, and the followin
extracts will certainly appeal t
OUT readers as being reasonabl
and fair to the question under dis
cussion:

SUCH papers as the Mandan

reports which these papers have

COTTON Is

Yesterday cotton went UP like a kite.
The United States Department of Agri-
culture has several methods Of estimat-
ing the size Of the crop. One is to secure
an accurate statement of the number of
bales of cotton ginned- The figures were
given to the public yesterday. They show
ed that up to date $3.50, GEO bales Of cot
ton have been ginned this year. Up to the
same date last year 1925, O0O bales had
been ginned. The falling off Of over two
million bales startled the cotton world and
sent the price soaring upwards.
Mr.. Buston and all the other prophets
and experts, who have been talking about
a crop Of eleven and three quarter of
million bales, were talking through their
hats.

rWELVE-cEAT COTTON.
twelve cent cotton in sight?

Is twelve cent cotton in sight?
Why not? Last summer cotton went UP
to something like fourteen cents That
price brought out of hiding every bale
OF cotton that had been held for better
prices for a dozen years or more. The
price was so high and cotton so scarce
that English cotton mills were closed.
When the first bale came upon the mar
ket in September it was confronted with
a cotton famine. It, therefore, brought
a good price az the start. Mills began
to reopen and the demand for cotton
was large. Those who had an interest
in bearing down the price, kept saying
that the crop was very large and tina
the price would slump when the Novem-
Der deliveries poured into the market.
BY such talk they did push the price
down to a point below ten cents in Octo-
Der. But the cotton farmers, knowing
that the crop was short. deemed to help
the spectators press down the price by
rushing the cotton to market. Therefore
they helped to restore the Price until
yesterday 1t went up to ten and three
quarter cents. If the farmers are wise
they will not glut the market at thu
increased price. The bears are banking
upon cotton farmers rushing all their c 1t
ton to market upon the present rise. Such
a course would warrant or provoke q
slump in the price.
1t IS freely predicted now that cotton
will go t. ten cents by the early spring.
It is certain that the mills, IN this oun
try and IN England, are short of cotton
They have practically none on hand. The
crop is sure to be short. Under such
coalitions, everything points to high
cotton. It may go above twelve cents. The
best way for farmers to send up the
price is to sell their cotton gradualll-.
thus preventing any glut in the market.
By slow deliveries they will put the
mills bidding for cotton instead Of hav-
ing to find places to store the excess
not needed for present consumption. If the
farmers from Texas to Virginia are wise
they Will probably get twelve cents for a
considerable portion of this years cot
ton crop. Some people indeed. predict
that the price will so to fifteen cents.
ii there Is no panic.
