Economic Problem in Connection With
the Smoke Nuisance

declared that the toll that Chicago's
smoke exacted from it's citizens was
equal in amount to all the taxes levied
by the municipality.
Out of the five hundred million tons
of coal used annually lin the United
States, less than seventy-five million
tons is actually turned into service and
power. The energy Of the remainder is
wasted in smoke, friction, and other
ways. Most of the waste comes from
imperfect power systems and might be
reduced greatly were all coal using
plants to measure up to the best engi-
neering practice. But the amount that
might be saved simply by proper COM
bustion methods In existing power
plants throughout the country, would
certainly amount to a hundred million
dollars.
These possibilities are illustrated by
the experience of a railroad which de-
cided to put its firemen to q test. 0ne
fireman was sent out with an engine
to draw a train from one city to an
other, the running time being an hour
and fifty-f1ve minutes. He used 5000
pounds Of coal to make the trip. and
had q hard time keeping up steam all
the way. Next day, with duplicate
train. and with weather conditions
ter fireman, made the trip with $500
pounds Of coal, and In the language Of
the roundhouse, had 1.-THE steam against

a trail Of steamy smoke; the fireman

he succeeded left one long streak of
black behind
On larger scale the experience Of
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and
Northern railway Is illuminative of
what railroads have accomplished by
adopting proper firing methods. Dur
ing one period of nine months 1t re-
duced the amount OF coal burned by
nearly 9 per cent as compared with the
same months OF the previous year. in
the face Of an increase of per cent,
in train mileage and Of some increase
in the weight of the average train.
The superintendent declared that
three-fourths of the increased efficiency
was due to better firing methods.
Factories have had similar expert
ences. One plant told its firemen 1t
would pay them four dollars a month
extra for every month they showed q
smokeless stack They found It was
just about as easy to have a smokeless
fire as to make black smoke. and the
result was that factory was able to
eliminate smoke without any cost for
installations. and the four dollar bonus
to the firemen was more than returned
by the saving Of coal.
But there are many big factories with
| small boilers and understood furnaces,
and they have to be pushed to the limit
to furnish enough heat and steam for
the days work. 1t IL with them that
neither the careful fireman nor the
smoke consumer avails TO remedy the
situation. and II Is these factories that
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1912-11-17

are responsible today for the continu-
ance of the smoke nuisance. They
must work under terrific strain all
day long, just as a wealsling has to
work in keeping up with the moderate
exertions Of the athlete.
But, after all. the ultimate solution
of the question does not depend upon
the improvements in present methods
Of firing SO much as upon entire
changes in the nation wide methods
Of converting the sunshine of bygone
ages into the power Of today. The
really smokeless town Will arrive
when our whole system of power con-
version Is changed. Perhaps the first
step in that direction will be the CEN
trail heat and power plant. The gov
eminent has found that 1t can heat q

including the capitol. the two con-
gressional office buildings. and the IL
brary Of congress, from one central
plant much more cheaply than 1t could
from a half dozen plants. The steam
is conveyed through asbestos lined
pipes and there is little loss from ra-
diation and condensation. The same
principle has worked elsewhere, and
some think the engineering practice OF
the future will 60 that way.
But more effective than this 10 the
producer gas engine. It can use the
lowest grade OF coal, even down al
most to mine refuse. and extract about
double the power from It that can be
extracted from anthracite through
steam engine practice. 1t 10 asserted
by those who have tried the producer
gas engine that It Is fully as reliable
and from 200 to 800 per cent more ef-
ficient than the steam engine. and
that the next generation win see II al

OF a pound of coal as the steam en-
CINE. 1t is estimated that the people
Of the United States spend one and
half billion dollars for heat. light and
power. Four-fifths of this is used
outside OF the homes. With producer
gas engines replacing steam engines
saving Of $4O0.00o.o00 a year would
be effected.
Sir William Ramsay's Theory.
There are still others who believe
that the eventual solution Of the
smoke problem lies In the suggestion
OF Sir william Ramsay that we will
! simply set coal on fire down into the
earth. pumping down the necessary
quantities OF air to control the COM
bustion. and thus get unlimited guam
titles OF producer gas at negligible
cost This would be used to generate
electricity for the adjacent cities.
Pittsburg, Chicago. st. Louis and in
Vulnerable other cities are situated
sufficiently near to low grade coal de-
posts to make this idea feasible from
q transmission standpoint. When we
consider that the man who owns q coal
mine usually gets ten cents ton
for his coal ,unmined. and that the
other two, three, four. five six, or
even seven dollars a ton represents the
costs and profits OF mining. transport
tation and selling. the advantages Of
the Ramsay idea will readily appear.
There il a remarkable unanimity Of
opinion among experts az to the cost
Of the smoke nuisance to the inhabi-
tants OF big cities. The estimated
damage from SCOT and smoke for the
country at large IL around half bill

inspector estimated the damage there
at 800 per family, and the Cleveland
smoke committee estimated the dam
age for that city at $12 per capita,
while DIR. Holdsworth placed Pitts
burg's loss at $40 per capita.
In nearly all the big manufacturing
cities where careful estimates of the
injury done by smoke and SCOT have
been made, the figures place the money
damages at a higher per capita than
the city taxes. The department OF

to inflict tremendous direct and i'm
mediate losses upon the people.
But foot by foot the fight against
the smoking chimney progresses, and
the major portion of the new installa-
ton OF furnaces that are being made
in important centers are anti-smoking.
and in many instances old installations
are being remodelled for the principal
purpose Of overcoming smoke. The
indications that the age of central

BY Frederic ]. Haskin.

Aside from the immense cost of
smoke to the owners OF the plants
which make tia cost represented in
needless coal bills-the national smoke
sill represents millions OF dollars of
economic waste to the public at large.
The blighting influence of a municipal
smoke pail on the health of COM
munity alone might justify its abate-
ment, for it has been shown at home
and abroad that smoky cities are cities
with high death rates from all bron-
chial and pulmonary diseases. In ad-
dition to this the effect on trees and
vegetation in general has been shown
to be harmful and costly. In the parks
OF st. Louis each year one tree out Of
every twenty-f five dies because Of the
smoke pail. It has been found that the
smoke gases Of busy cities frequently
injure vegetation within radius Of
fifty miles. But a more appreciable
smoke loss to the community 10 that
inflicted upon the merchant and by
him transferred to the ultimate con-
sumer."
one Chicago merchant estimated that
the smoke nuisance cost him 100000
a year in damaged goods, an expense
that one may be sure was included In
his price ticketA He further estimated
that State streets smoke tax amounted
to Se,0O0.00o q year. and that 1t played
no insignificant role when the price
makers were marking the price tickets

INITIATIVE AND REFER
ENDUf CONSTITUTIONAL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Practi-
cal affirmation that the principle of
the initiative and referendum, as en-
acted in Oregon, is constitutional,
came here today when the United
States supreme court refused to take
jurisdiction in test suits contesting
the validity of the laws.
The decision of the United States
supreme court, which was unanim-
Gus, affects many states where legis-
lation agitation is before the people.
Chief Justice White delivered the
opinion. He said;
"The issue is political and gov
ernmental and therefore is not with
in the reach OF the judicial power. 1t
follows that the case presented is
not within our jurisdiction and the
writ of error therefore must be, and
is. dismissed for want of jurisdic-
ton"
The decision of the court leaves
the Oregon laws in free and untram-
melled operation unless some con-
trary action to override them should
be taken by congress.
