FOUND BROTHER
AFTER SEPARATION
OF FORTY YEARS

SEATTLE, Jan. 11-A dramatic
meeting between a brother and sis
ter, separated for more than 40
years, took place in Sheriff Lou
Smiths Office yesterday afternoon.
David N. Beaton, an old soldier,
who had several times been con-
fined in insane asylums because of
the effect of an old wound at the
base of his brain, last week walked
into the sheriff's Office and asked
to be sent to Stellacoom, as he
feared he was again losing his
mind.
The story was published and
was read by a woman in Seattle
who believed the man to be her
brother. She hurried to the sher-
ifs Office and asked to see Bea-
ton, whom she Immediately identi-
fed as her brother whom she had
not seen for more than 40 years.
She asked that her brother be
cared for at the county hospital for
a few days, until she could consult
with her husband about taking him
home. She did not give her name.

BY Henry George, Jr.

Why should the public stand hat
in hand humbly waiting to learn
whether there is to be war or peace
between the mine workers and the
hard coal trust?
Ask the trust that question, and
1t will by word or manner practic-
ally say that the public has nothing
whatever to do with the matter.
The trusts attitude is that the
mining regions are in the hands of
the trust; that the trust will make
what terms it pleases with its men,
and that it will offer the product of
their work to the public at what
ever terms may accord with trust
desires.
IL the trust used the language of
the saucy boy it would be to tell the
public to "shut up and mind it's own
business"
AND THAT SAME ADVICE
WOULD REALLY BE OF THE
BEST. THE REAL TROUBLE
WITH THE SITUATION is THAT
THE PUBLIC NEGLECTS IT'S
BUSINESS-WHAT REALLY is
IT'S BUSINESS.
And what Is the business of the
public? Not to tell the trust what
wages it shall pay or how many
hours shall constitute days work
for such employees. Both of these
questions and all questions like
them are matters for employer and
employe to agree upon. If the en-
ploye does not wish to sell his la
Dor at the terms offered, he sfthli
be free to reject the offer and re-
frain from working.
Likewise, If the coal which Is pro
duced from the ground belongs to
the trust there Is no warrant In
ethics for the public to break in and
say at what price the trust shall
sell its coal.
Well, then, II the public Is barred
by justice from having any voice
in fixing wages or coal prices where
does 1t come in? Has it no rights
1t certainly has rights and most
potent ones, as witness one of them

He will fight where he can get the

put of Hard Coal as Well as Solve
the Labor Problem.

, in question is hard coal, lord of the
anthracite lands of eastern Penn
sylvania, subject to various public
conditions, one Of which is the pay
ment of whatever taxes may be
levied upon such lands. There is
nothing peculiar about that tax
alton condition. 1t is a general law
of the land.
But behold what occurs in Penn
sylvania!
The trust is so powerful that it
can evade, or practically evade, the
law. 1t elects the tax commission
ers, uses it's influence for tax dis
ordinations and makes the home
owner and farmer pay the bulk of
taxes.
The law says that the tax shall
be laid against the market value,
and everybody knows that the mar
ket value of the coal bearing lands
is very high. Every rod of it is
laid out and borings till just how
much coal underlies every foot.
Now let the general public of the
whole country call upon the people
of Pennsylvania to apply the tax
alton law now standing on Penn
sylvania's statute books and behold
the result!
Immense quantities of rich coal
bearing land which the trust has
bought up or leased with the de-
liberate purpose Of shutting up from
use, so as to limit the output of
coal, will have to bear a heavy tax,
just as If it were being used.

trusts in holding on to and keeping

idle such land in face OF the heavy
tax that it would have to bear. Nor
by hanging on to land and paying
the tax could the trust hope to re-
compense itself for the increased
tax burden by increasing the price
of coal proportionately. 1t is now
getting the most it can profitably
under present conditions exact. To
ask more would be to diminish the
demand by driving some of the
present users to other fuels or to
do with less fuel of any kind.
