OF COAL
LEFT IN GROUND
CONSUMPTION INCREASING RAP
IDLY BUT No DANGER
OF FAMINE.

1t has been estimated that the
amount of coal which will be dug out
of the ground in the United States
during the present year will be great
er by far than the total excavation
Tor the Panama canal.
Experts of the United States geo
logical survey have timated that
originally there was enough coal in
this country to make a solid block 10
miles long, 10 miles wild and 10 miles
high. A block of this Size would
weigh more than 100000, 100000 tons
and up to the present time the coal
that has been removed amounts only
to something like 15,0Gt 100000 tons.
The coal mined duri. z 1914 win
amount to about 100000 90 tons, con-
The total excavation fo,' the Panama
canal from start to fin! h IL comput,
ed at some 262, 100000 cubic yards.
The comparison indica es in a strik-
ing way the extent Of the moal mining
industry in the United ates. The
output of coal is enorm > but it j.
reasing year ~ yea. - et' b.,
of coal so far taken out is only 49,
ton Of what remains, according to
the estimate of the biologists. The
people of this country, however, arc.
using mere coal every year, and with
the exhaustion of some of the Euro
pean coal fields already in sight the.
foreign demand for American coal
will increase enormously.
The history of coal mining in the
United States covers only a period
OF about a century. There was some
mining of anthracite in Pennsylvania.
as far back as 1890, but the records
OF the anthracite coal trade usually,
begin with the year 1920 The first
actual mining is believed to have
been in Virginia, though the records
of production in that state date from.
1922. The presence of coal in Ohio
was discovered as far back as 1853,
but the record of output begins in
1887. The history of coal mining in.
Kentucky begins in 1927. bdt in 1910
the production had reached only 49,
527 tons.

STATE BANKS MAY
ISSUE CURRENCY
SENATE AMENDMENT ENABLES
THEM TO JOIN FEDERAL
RESERVE SYSTEM

/ Bankers and business men general
ly were much interested n the tele-
graphic adyices from Washington
ye~~o-day announcing that the senate
had = pied the amendment offered
| by Sena,-, Hoke Smith admit, Ing
state banks TO the benefits oI the
Vreeland-Aldr.Cl currency law, by
which they will 1e enabled to issue
circulating notes on the same basis
as national banks.
According to reports from Washing
ton the amendment is agreeable to the
mouse, and it Is expected that many
state banks throughout the South will
be quick to take advantage of the
provisions Of the amendment
State. banks in order to issue cu..
rency must become members of the
National Currency association, and
in order to become members of that
association they must Join the FEEDER
al reserve system. AS the law now
stands state banks cannot isuue ex-
cept by paying a tax of ten per cent,
which is lT3hibitiye, and was so in
tended to be- State banks under the
amended law can issue currency only
on the basis of national banks. Their
collateral must be. as good and must
be approved by the currency associ-
alton.
The amendment will do much to re-
lieve the acute cotton situation as
notes secured by cotton will be ac-
cepted by the government as colla;er-
al. This relief also extends to naval
stores, it being announced last week
that warehouse receipts secured by
notes would be accepted as collater-
al, and should the needs of this com
munity warrant action there is little
doubt but that the state banks OF
Brunswick will apply for membership
in the reserve system, although no
official statement on t>r matter has
been given out.

A SQUARE DEAL

The National Farmers Union is
demanding square deal from con-
gress and state legislatures on the
marketing of farm products.
The federal and state governments
have been spending millions of dol
lars annually in urging the farmer
TO increase production, but little
attention has been given to the mar
keting side of the question.
1t is well known paradox that
the larger the crop the less the value
and a stimulant to production with
out corresponding aid in marketing,
loses much of itsworth to agriculture.
The nation is fast awakening to the
fact that marketing, and not produc.
ton, is the problem of the farmer.

SOCIAL CENTERS

The crying need of rural Arizona
is social centers where our young
people can be entertained, amused
and instructed under the direction
of cultured, clean and competent
leadership. where aesthetic sur.
roundings stir the love for the beau.
tiful; where art charges the atmos-
phere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our Young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive, as well as the business
of farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social
unit, properly equipped for nourish-
ing and building character, so that
the lives of our people can properly
function around it and become sup
piled with the necessary elements of
human thought and activity.

WOMEN IN POLITICS

Whether the various political OF.
ganizations like it or not, the votes
for women propaganda has become
force in national politics and must
henceforth be reckOped with. As
long as the women merely devoted
themselves to general agitation, the
movement could be, and was to a
large extent. ignored. But now
that thy are devoting their ener-
gies to the very definite purpose of
defeating senators and representa-
tiVes who have gone on record
against the suffrage cause, their ac-
tivities must be taken into account.
1t is probable that few of these
public servants will really be retired
because of their opposition to suf-
frage. But it is also probable that
few of those who have not thus far
incurred the active resentment of
the women will be likely to do so.
Therein lies the strength of the suf-
fragists' attack Congressman who
have not drawn fire will be careful
how they invite the attention of the
suffragist battery. Thus the cause
of votes for women has made dis
tinct advance Political battles are
won by centering attack upon the
individual. The suffragists have
fina ly recognized this strategic fact,
and the tardy recognition di<ap-
points those who had hoped the
movement would burn itself out in
generalities. The struggle for wo-
mans political rights in the United
States has ceased to be amusing.
Hereafter it must be dealt with
soberly and as an insistent problem.

NEW DEMOCRATIC PAPER

Jeffersonian, constructive, con-
servative weekly newspaper, to be
published in Phoenix, will make its
initial bow to the Arizona public on
October 29th--one week before the
election. 1t will endorse the can
didacy of all democratic nominees,
from precinct officers to United
States senator, congressman and
governor.
Young democrats from all sec
tions of the State are behind the
venture. Leslie Hardy, Assistant
Attorney General, is treasurer, and
Harry Boland, for several years sec
retary to the late William c. Greene,
of Cananea, is secretary of the new
company.
Jeffersonian will support the nomi-
nees of the democratic party from
top to bottom. The policies of
Woodrow Wilson and the admins
tration will be supported. Pictures
of Jefferson and Wilson will appear
in the heading of the paper. The
initial number will be given over
largely to the discussion of politics
and political questions. Pictures of
Mark Smith, Carl Hayden and Gov
ernor Hunt will appear on the front
page of the first issue.
Miss Edith M. Jacobs, assistant
county recorder, of Maricopa, will
have charge of a department de-
voted to the women candidates in
the State. Miss Jacobs has had
considerable experience in the politi-
cal game, and has gained valuable
information through having had
charge of the registration books for
the past several months.
The publishers say ten thousand
copies of the initial number will be
printed, and a sworn statement will
be printed to that effect in the first
issue for the benefit of candidates
and other advertisers.

Those lords of a gilded throne,
And the country S sons grasp the leam-

And call not their souls their own;

And the rifles will CLEAN, and the war

And the brave little soldier will shoot.
