EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN PENNsYL
WANNA,

Beginning With October 6 and run
ming through the week, a great dem
onstration in behalf OF equal suffrage
in Pennsylvania is being planned to
take place In Philadelphia by the wo-
man suffrage society of the state. The
idea of the promoters is to carry the
cause to the people rather than to fol
low the old plan of inviting the peo-
pie to come to the cause. While sew
eral great gatherings are to be held
In the center of the city, meetings,
small or large as the case may be,
are to be arranged for quarters OF the
community into which the suffrage
propaganda has not yet penetrated.
This. It is anticipated, VIII be but the
beginning Of a campaign intended to
arouse popular interest In the move
ment through all parts of the state.
It appears to be recognized as fact
that while larger number Of women
than ever before are interested and
actively engaged In the work OF OBJ
tanning an extension Of the franchise
to their sex, the great body OF woman.

suit of the construction OF the big dam
across the Mississippi river here at

river below the dam, regardless Of the
fact that as much water flows through
the intakes of the power house and
over the. spillways of the dam as flows
into the Jake. above the dam every
twenty-four hours
The Gate City must remember that

THE TARIFF BILL AND SUGAR.

NOW IldL the laTlH Dill is ABOUT TO
become law Democratic senators are
beginning to suspect that the sugar
trust has put one over on them to
use slang phrase, but one that
as there was question about the re-
moval of the duty on sugar the cry
was kept up that the sugar tariff
helped the trust. Now that free
sugar is a certainty reports are begin
ming to crop out that 1t will be worth
from s25,ooo,000 to $50,O00,ooo year
to the refining interest by driving out
American grown sugar, the competi-
ton of which has kept prices down
and limited the profits of the trust
The fact is beginning to leak out
that the refiners themselves were be-
hind the claim that the trust proflted
| by the maintenance of sugar duties
while under the new tariff the trust
and its fellow reflners will get their
raw sugar cheaper and will get rid of
the home competition that has cut
largely into their profits In recent
years The ingenuity behind the idea
lof capitalizing its own discredit IN
order to get what 1t wanted is typical
iof the trust that devised the corset
spring addition to It's scales in order
to escape payment of its dues to the
government. In the final stages OF
debate in the senate, several Demo
cratic senators including Walsh OF
Montana and Newlands Of Nevada
declared that free sugar would be OF
benefit chiefly to the trust, but like
their colleagues they were bound by
the caucus edict in favor of free sugar
to vote for this provision.

Question Of Cheapest Coal.

Waterloo Courier: Anent the ques-
ton Of which Goals are cheaper for
house heating purposes-Iowa or lie
.linofs mines products-a Waterloo
dealer comes forward to dispute the
figures given recently In these col.
umns. The figures In dispute were TAX
en- from the report OF two experts
from the Ames college, and were &C
cepted at their face value without
knowing anything OF the manner in
which the conclusion was obtained.
The experts gave the credit to Iowa
coal as being the cheapest fuel for
house heating purposes. 1t was dis
CLOSED In the report that an efght-room
house had been used In the expert
ments, or rather that house Of that
dimensions had been the basis for de-
termining the cost of heat from differ
ent fuels.
1t Is pointed out, by the Waterloo
dealer, that freight charges being
equal, the experts hardly could have
arrived at the conclusion they did.
According to this dealer, Iowa coal
costs at the mine 1928 per ton, while
the freight on the Iowa product from
the mine to Waterloo, which is taken
as a comparative point, is s1.o1 IL
per tom This coal sells on the local
market for $3.50, leaving gross
profit to the dealer of s1.24 per ton.
but out Of this gross profit must come
the cost of delivery, never estimated
at less than 80 cents ton; depre-
citation 10 cents per ton, and an over
head charge of so cents ton, which
leaves to the dealer net profit OF
/ IA cents per ton. In the overhead
expense is included Office rent, cost
of storage bins, interest on capital
invested, upkeep of the business and
other incidentals, of which the coal
business has as many as any other
line Of merchandising
On the other hand Illinois Goals
cost at the mine s135 per ton, while
the freight from the northern cen
trail field is $3.50 per ton to Water
loo, making the Illinois coal cost the
dealer $2.85 per ton, ready for de-
1
for the Iowa coal. Iowa coal is hard
to mine, and proportionately expens-
live, for the reason that the veins
are thin and propping OF the roof is
also required In the southern Hi
nois fields practically all the mining
Is long WALL In which no propping
is required.
From the northern Illinois field
/ the freight to Waterloo is $1.01 pei
ton, while from the southern fields
the freight rate is respectively s1.9C
and 1920 per ton. 1t is stated that
repeated tests have demonstrated
4 that Illinois soft coal contains from
Is to 20 per cent more heat units
per ton than does Iowa coal and
therefore is worth fully 81 more 9
ton to the consumer. In the price
+ quotations given lump coal is taken
as the basis
The Courier's informant is also
authority for the statement that 10
wa dealers would be glad to handle
Iowa coal II they could secure 1t at g
price at the mines which would allow
them to sell 1t at the same price as
the Illinois coal, and at the same
time guarantee to their customer.
fequal satisfaction.
The conclusions is reached by the
A Waterloo dealer that the Iowa col
lege experts reached their figures O
heating cost, comparing different
Goals, at some point where Iowa Goa
was obtainable without freight
/ charges.
