LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.


To the Editor or the ABe-Herald:
The terrible disaster in the mines which
have frequently happened in our district
bringing death and disaster has sad
dened the entire community. Evidently
there is something wrong in our present
system of inspection, though l must con-
TESS that l am entirely unfamiliar with
these matters. The all important matter
in which the community is now concerned
is the urgent necessity for funds to be
raised in order that those who are in
great distress by reason of the dire
calamity may receive help. The COVER
nor of the state has wisely issued
proclamation calling upon the people to
extend aid to these unfortunate neigh
bors of ours The commercial bodies are
doing their duty and the good people
here generally are extending aid to the
fullest extent of their ability, it is right
and proper that they should. ! am GER
tain that there Is not one living person
here but whose heart goes out in SYM
pathy to these distressed people. and
not one who would refuse to help with
their means, but, Mr.. Editor, how long
can this aid be expected fl ,m COM
munity which you must know has al
ready frequently responded? Are we able
to give to a stricken community as lib
orally as this occasion demands? What
about a remedy to meet such emer-
gencies? Are the mine owners as liberal
as our community? If so, then l shall
suggest what seems to be way by which
funds could be made and, available i'm
mediately, to meet the necessities and re-
lleve the stricken people from much dis
tress.- I suggest:
That the mine operators set aside say.
to begin with. 1 cent on every ton OF
coal mined for an emergency fund. and
that they create a commission, selected
| by themselves, to whom the reports of
| the numbers Of tons of coal mined month
| ly by each, and to whom the royalty,
| IL you may SO call 1t, may be paid.
About 100000 to 100000 of tons OF
coal are mined in this district each year
| believe, so that from this source from
$1,000 to $4,000 annually would be avail
able If the mine operators would favor
ably consider this plan they could add
/ cent or even cents to the selling price
per ton, and instead OF standing a loss
they would break even, or better, no one
would object to an ipcreace of 10 cents
per ton. The royalty can be reduced
whenever the operators find that the fund
50 created would be sufficient to meet ths
requirements, or the price reduced, al
| they may elect.
| This commission should be composed Of
| mining experts with authority to emplo,
! able talent to make frequent inspections
OF the mines in this district Independent
Of the inspections made by the state min,
inspectors 1t seems to me that this plar
would be of incalculable benefit to tn,
mine operatorA in many ways. The,
would be less liable for damage suits, oul
courts would not be burdened with thu
expense of trying 50 many damage cases
the miners would feel when they lef
L their homes for work in the mines thai
they had some assurance for help Il
their families In case Of disaster, ana tn,
