this year will probably be
greater. If purchasers are to
pay an advance of $50 per ton,
1t means that the Steel will cost
the buyers and users in excess
OF what the same quantity
would have cost on the figures
Of 1914, say, S2,40O,O0O,OO0.
Who are the benefciaries
of this enormous advance in
the price of steel? The an
swer is largely the same as in
the matter of coal-the profits
are going principally into the
pockets of the Steel makers,
the United States Steel Cor
poration and the other big cor
porations; it is not being dis
tributed among the people,
but The People, this Govern
ment, and the Allies, are being
made to pay the bill"
In this connection, it is we'll
to remember that Mr.. Will
liams is not an irresponsible
fanatic, raving against the ex-
listing order of things. He is a
great business man, banker
and railroad president. He
knows whereof he speaks.
The Monte Vista journal., 1917-07-07

~ SSiiiiiS lllt LlDpT-
ty Bonds at 25c on the dollar,
IN buying steel at four times
the price which prevailed in
1913; or we are selling bonds
at the equivalent of 33c on the
dollar, when we invest their
proceeds in coal or wheat at
three times the price we paid
in 1914.
"This simply means of
course, that three billion dol
dars Of Liberty Bonds at 1917
prices will buy only one billion
dollars worth, or less, of sup
plies at 1914 prices.
Wage Farmers Get Little
Let us now see to whom
the Government and the Allies
are paying the extra four or
five billion dollars, which rep
resent the advance which has
taken place in two and one
half years in coal and portion
of our steel products.
Il have given some thought
and study to this question, and
| am quite convinced that these
additional billions of dollars
are not going to the wage
earners of the country but that
they are going principally into
the pockets of the coal, iron
and steel operators, corpora
tlons and trusts, and to specul-
lators and middlemen who are
all waxing fat beyond their
fondest hopes or their widest
dreams.
Il have some knowledge of
the Coal situation. Some years
ago, as the chief executive of a
certain large enterprise, | was
accustomed to purchasing a
million or so tons a year at
prices ranging from roc to a
dollar ton; and there has
been some advance in wages,
but this advance in wages pro-
badly does not average more
than some where between ten
and thirty cents per ton, vary
ing in different localities.
"The price of coal at the
mines has been jumped from
75c or a dollar ton to 81, SIS,
$6, and ST per ton. In other
words for every one dollar of
increase in cost due to an ad-
vance in wages, there have
been about twenty dollars add
ed for other causes-principal-
ly the operators greed and
profit.
"The production of coal in
this country last year was
about 600 million tons, and
this years production will be
probably greater. Therefore,
if we assume an average ad-
vance in the price Of coal of 81
per ton at the mines, the in
crease in our coal bill would be
So, 400, 100000.
Advance in Steel
"In 1913, steel billets were
quoted at $40 a ton. This
country made last year ap-
proximately 40 million tons.
The Steel Trust and other steel
concerns, working in perfect
harmony, are now demanding
$50 to 500 a ton for steel bill
lets at Pittsburg.
"The principal steel makers
own vast deposits of practical
ly all of the ingredients re-
uuired for the production of
steel. Therefore, in order to
produce a ton Of steel, the only
extra cost to them is the wage
increase. A few dollars ton
would cover this increase in
wages paid to their men; but
for the same steel that they
were glad to sell at $40 or $40
per ton in 1913 and 1914, they
are asking an advance of-not
few dollars a ton to cover
any increase in wages, but an
| increase of $50 or $40 a ton
more than 400 per cent IN
gross cost.

|p1BLIC SENTIMENT WILL SECURE FOOD
CONTROL LEGISLATION BY NATL CONGRESS
By EDWARD HEATING
,conyressman from the Third Colo
rado District.

Washington, D. C.-Public
ntiment sometimes becomes
seNolt Sc notent and we'll organized
~ 81 R his country that it sweeps
III nmav all barriers. That has
hosn h@"' the case with the Lever
tHo,o,d.control H,, bill. The special
interests which planned first to
dafeat it and then to emascu-
& ,"ta if have been driven to
cover. r They dared not face an
aroused citizenry.
At this writing the bill has
NOT come back to the House
from the Senate, but in all pro-
liability it will be strengthened
instead of weakened in that
hodv, As it passed the house
i dealt with food, feed and
fuel. The senate will add
Steel, oil, copper and many
other items, including farming
implements and fertilizer.
Most important Of all, instead
of postponing action until Sep
|tember 1st, when the food pi-
rates would have entrenched
themselves behind contracts,
1.-The measure will probably be
signed by the president early
lin July.
While the bill was being
considered in the House the
Prohibitionists won a smashing
victory and, if we can hold our
advantage, we will probably
have "dry" nation, at least
for the period of the war. The
liquor fight was waged under
THE most adverse conditions.
Zone "dry" amendment after
another was ruled out on
points of order, amid the
cheers of the "wets." Finally
Barkley Of Kentucky framed
an amendment which could
not be questioned and we sue
ceeded in securing a real test
Of strength. That was all we
desired, for we knew we had
the votes if we could only get
by the barricade of technical
ities.
Billions for a Few
The need of giving the gov
eminent the power to fix the
prices of steel and coal is
shown in a remarkable letter
which John Shelton Williams,

recently wrote to a gentleman

SOME HINTS IN SEASON
BY e. VAN

Give your garden crops just the fer.
tilizer they prefer. Remember that
plants furnish us with edible leaves or
stalks, flourish If given nitrogen when
the fruit, root kernel or bulb, Is the
edible part lose with ashes, potash or
phosphoric acid.
Keep an eye on the he died when the
sun shines brightly. Too much heat
will make the plants weak and splndly.
Get the brush for the peas and poles
for the beans when it is too wet to
work in the garden.
If you have no hotbed, sow seeds
in shallow boxes placed in the south
window. Provide drainage, and water
them when the soil feels dry to the
touch.
DO not pillow too earl, In the spring.
Wait until the grouad Is dry. Follow
with the harrow until tho soil is finely
pulvcriZed.
Plant your wlnd-brenk in May
q hcmlock hedge Is the thing.
Let the rows run north and s!rth
this gives the most sun exposure.

FLORAL WORK IN SEASON
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Divide and set peOny roots now. Fall
planting Is best for them.
Mixing compost rough for flower
pots means without Sitting 1t.
Hurry your order for bulbs and
plants. Have your borders and pots
ready for them when they come.
Roman hyacinths are best for late
potting, us they come into bloom much
earlier than the Dutch varieties. Each
bulb throws UP several flowcr.spikes.
Are your ncighbors' plants finer and
better than yours? II 50, there Is II
reason for 1t, and you should seek to
find out what it is and profit by the
knowledge.
Fall Is the best time to take up, di.
vide and reset old plants Of herbace-
Gus perennials, or to plant most new
ones. They should become wcll-estab-
lished before freezing weather as to
root growth.
More herbaceous p~erennials are
heavy feeders, and n thorough enrich
ment of the lower soil Is of great inn
p%ortancc. Top dressing every fall
should be well attended to, and this
should be forked into the soil in the
spring, after the freezing Is done.
Winter protection Is valuable for all
plants, no matter how hardy they may
be. The object Of this Is not to keep
the plant roots warm, but to prevent
the sun, especially in the spring, from
warming and thawlng the stalks and
ground, thus exposing the plant cells
to alternate thawlng and freezing,
which Is very hurtful to them.
Lay in Il supply of potting soil now,
50 II the need arises for soil when the
ground Is covered with snow or frozen,
1t can be met. Equal parts Of good
garden soil, old, well-rotted manure
lcaf mold Cor wood SOLD and sand
should be stirred well together, Siftcd
through II coarse sieve and stored UNI
der shelter in boxes or barrels.
DO not let the plants intended for
/ the window garden stay out toe long.
Even II slight chill will hurt the ten.
der ones, and do the hardy ones no
good. DO nnt pinch out the buds after
the first of November.
pa not transfer the plants Mt once
from the border 10 the sitting room.
From the open air to the vcranda or II
bench ON the sunny side Of the house
from there to "A shed or cool vol as
the frost approaches, then Ia some
room where a near llr" shall Danish the
actual cold; then place them in your
windows and they will not realize the
chang" so greatly.
Crotous dn not need II specially rich
mold, one If garden soil and one of
thoroughly rottcd manure. Heat aud
moist air are essential. Full sunshine
Is liked, except in hot weather.
