Coal Law Needs Amending.

The present coal land law has one
serious defect, which should be reme-
died if leasing law is not enacted.
The restriction of area that may le-
gally be acquired to a maximum of 100
acres for an individual and $40 acres for
an association is not in accord with
good mining practice. The fixed charges
OF the cost of modern coal mine. pro-
vided with the eF to-date equipment nee
essary to conserve life and property and
to assure maximum recovery, are too
high to be assessed against the output
of so small tract, especially il the coal
seam is of only moderate thickness. A
law designed to promote the practical
utilization of coal deposits, whether the
system contemplates sale or lease. must
provide for the holding of large enough
unit to permit the opening and equip
ment of modern mine and to warrant
its economical operation. Without such
provision for commercial operation too
great an advantage is given to the land
grant railroads and large coal companies
already in possession of considerable
areas Of high-erade ceal.--(Ffom 32d An
