Establish Fuel Monopoly.

Whether there was anything like col
fusion between the State authorities and
the COZ porate interests is not regarded
now as so important as the fact that
the best coal lands there, by dint of
this dishonest classification, have been
lost 20 the. public domain and passed
over 20 control of private concerns that
have established one OF the most COM
plete fuel monOpolies in the country.
The committee hearings have been ex-
tremely interesting and informative
The committee members have been
brought 10 conclusion that the coal
problem Is one OF preventing monopoly
rather than OF preventing waste With
5000 years supply in sight nobody is
willing 10 get excited over the danger
of freezing 10 death. bur experience has
shown that under present methods and
conditions monopoly is possible and ire
quellly very oppressive 70 prevent
this in future IS the problem the com
mittee is considering.

Rivalry in Maps.

BetW cen the Hayes and the Pinchot
maps there has been considerable riv-
airy. Secretary Hitchcock. in listing
lands for withdrawal under the Presi-
dents order, took a liberal view. IN
any township in which a coal entry ever
had been made. whether il was worked
or whether II proved OF commercial
value. al public lands IN that township
were withdrawn. This Is the exPlana-
ton made by a member OF the House
Committee OF Public Lands. which has
been Try ing 10 get at the bottom and
the merits OF the controversy about the
coal lands.
The committee Is of opinion that the
secretary went altogether too far IN mis-
Withdrawals. Further, X takes the view
that there has been no such extent OF
coal land frauds as Is generally under
stood. III is declared that the State OF
Utah committed the gravest frauds
against The public domain that ever
have beer known.
IL Is charged that the State. in select
ing its lands FOR reservation. carefully
picked out immense areas OF coal lands.
CLASSIFIED them as agricultural lands
reserved them as such, secured title,
and then permitted the Utah Fuel Com
pany and other corporations 10 get them

There Is coal enough in the United

result IN all the coal being dug up
and wasted pretty soon, and chronic
fuel famine inflicted on the country.
The scientists doa't take so serious

that there is plenty of coal in the

Austria-Hungary.

The Zionists assert that their prospects
in Galicia would have been splendid but
for the illegalities which are always prac-
tised by the Poles. Last yea'', when the
elections took place in Brody the Jews
were locked up and not released before
the elections were over. They intend
forming Zionist or Jewish-National
Club in the future House of Parliament.
The Neue Freie Presse, however, states:
The much vaunted Jewish solidarity has
turned out to be legend, for those Jews
who either from conviction or on oppor
tunist grounds have allied themselves to
the Poles, are being bitterly attacked by
the Zionists. as though the restoration OF
the Jewish State, at the very least, de-
pended on their attitude. The Jews are
in majority in twelve town districts,
but owing to their internal dissensions
it is probable that they will only carry
seven seats. namely, Lemberg, Cracow,
Tarnopol Kolomea, Drohobycz, Iloczow
and Brody.

The Emigration League of Australia,
anti-Jewish in it's tendencies, passed the
following resolutions at meeting held
recently: "rhat this meeting is totally
opposed to and strongly protests against
the suggested introduction OF Russian
Jews into the Northern Territory. That
every scheme for immigration into Au-
stralia should contain provisions ensur-
ing that preference be given to British
white subjects in all respects and re-af-
firms the resolutions passed on the 1lth
January, 1907, that the policy OF this
League is to assist in settling on the
land the people already living in the
country and confning any subsidies, as
sisted passages, etc, intended to stimu-
late immigration to British-born white
citizens. That subject thereto it is
proper and desirable in view of the ur-
gent need for the development OF our
lands and the defense of our extensive
territory to welcome the immigration
into Australia of suitable agricultural set
tiers from the different European colln-
tries"
