the public is the fact that theI
coal miners struck.
There is no evidence that the
coal strike which was not strict
speaking, a strike, cost the trust
anything except the profit it
would have made had the men
not laid down their tools pending
a readjustment Of their con-
tracts. But with this weak.
excuse for a basis, the trust
has decreed that there shall be
no usual spring discount Of 30
cents per ton on coal this year.
Thus the consumer pays not
only the loss in profits suffered
by the trust during the strike
but he also pays for the slightly
increased cost of mining, due to
the small raise in pay granted
The miners.
Does anybody pay the miner
for the money he lost in wages
during the lay off? Well, not
that anybody knows of.

Washington Letter.
BY T%avenner.


The Democratic House of Rep
resentatiyes has given the Good
Roads Movement a flying start.
This fact is of momentous Inn
portance to the people Of this
nation. Ever since the Consti-
tuition was written there has
been talk of improving the pub
lie highways. 1t remained for
this, the first session of the
sixty second Congress, to ac-
tually do something toward
bringing about that end. 1t re-
CURED upward Of a score of
years to make a start toward
stamping out railroad rebating,
and the law prohibiting that
practice was passed in a month
after the start was made. Like
wise, the pure food law Jagged
for seventeen years until an
actual start was made. Within
a few weeks after the talking
was supplanted by action the
law became a reality.
The Democrats in Congress
have injected the first breath of
life into the agitation for better
roads. The House has actually
passed a bill, and as the matter
now stands it is up to the Re-
publican Senate and President
to carry the work along. If
they refuse, the people will
know exactly where to place the
responsibility. Now that the
Democrats have taken a definite
forward step the issue becomes
clear out.
In all the Democratic speeches
supporting the bill for road
improvement, which was intro
duced by Dorsey W. Shackleford
-
of Missouri, it was made plain
that it is proposed to spend
money that is now being wasted
in keeping up useless political
navy yards and to provide soft
berths for lame duck politicians.
At the present time there is II
existence numerous government
commissions, such as the
Canadian boundary commission
on which former Congressman
James A. Tawney Of Minnesota
depends for an annual stipend
of 81. 800 Of the peoples money
These commissions seldom meet
and their only usefulness is tC
take care of politicians who
fail of reelection. The Demo.
Gratis propose to abolish use.
less commissions and to spen(
the money thus wasted for thl
improvement Of public roads.
Improve the public road.
with money that is now belni
wasted" This is the battl'
cry Of the Democrats in Con
gress, and it is being taken u
by the farmers in all parts 0
the country.
