Chicago Tribune says: 1.-The most
sensational and important happen
ing Of recent months in the United
States is the price asked for coal at
the pit mouth by the coal mine own
eTs of the country. The
coal mine owners are taking advan-
tage of a situation which is full of
explosive possibilities. By raising
prices 100 per cent in perhaps the
most basic of all industries, they are
starting something which it may
take all the forces of the government
to control"
Accepting the truth of Hr. Hyde's
conclusion that the situation pre-
sages danger to the future welfare Of
the republic, it is pertinent to inquire,
why single out the owners of coal
mining land for his criticism and say
nothing about the owners of other
sorts of land?
The government inteTferes with
the owners of railroad land and does
not permit them to rob the public by
charging all the traffic will bear. It
regulates the price charged for their
services, so people engaged in the
railroad business cannot get the I'M
earned increment that comes to all
land by the increase Of population,
but the owners Of coal land and city
land and farming land and all other
kinds are permitted to go the limit
and get all they possibly can from
the many who own no land and who
make possible by their labor the ex-
istence of civilization and luxury for
the lew.
If the ownership of land in its pres
ent form, and the fact that govern
ments get the bulk of their revenue
from the taxation of labor and cap
itaI is just, we can make no COM
plant against any of the monopolies,
for they are all founded upon the
mOnODOlv of land in some form.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-03-14

taxes from labor and the wealth pro-
duced by labor; all the taxes upon
trade and commerce; all taxes and
impOsitiOns that fall upon persons or
processes Of producing wealth, and
take for public revenue the annual
value of the bare land.
Then will the resources of nature
be open to all the people upon equal
terms and holding land out of use
will become so improbable that OPP
pOrtunities for the employment of
labor and capital will be so plenty
that poverty will vanish from the
land. Prices will never rise so high
as to be oppressive and wages will
always be sufficient for the comfort
and sustenance Of the labOrer.
Labor will be the only way to get
wealth and the only poor will be the
lOafer who does not want wealth and
the sick and crippled and infants who
are unable to work. And the income
Of the people from these land values
will always be sufficient for public
utilities and cOnveniences which are
beyond individual exertiOn.
Give to the public the value it
creates and the value the individual
creates to him.-George v. Wells.

WHO WASTES QUA FoODsTUFFs

WHO WASTES OUR FOODSTUFFSt
Editor TINES.
Ny attention has been called many
times in the past few months TO the
conservation of foodstufs Now that
is a good idea. I have always con-
tended enough food goes TO waste in
this country 10 feed an army. and
am heartily in sympathy with the
movement But yesterday when l was
called to canvass my precinct and pre-
vail upon the housewives to can. dry
and preserve the fruit and vegetables
that are going to waste within their
reach my Indignation was aroused.
The idea Of woman letting anything
20 to waste when the common people
and il is from the laboring man 8
viewpoint that l am writing this) can
barely get hold Of enough food to feed
their families. how many housewives
after paving the exhorbitant price for
the actual essentials of life have any
money left to buy fruit TO can or pre-
serve. This is the first Year in my
life as a housewife I haven't canned
fruit. Vow l feel satisfied to get hold
Of enough for a pie, still they tell me
it is going 20 waste all over the coun-
try.
The house wife has always been con
sentative with foodstuns But there
is a gap between the producer and the
consumer. end 1 think the time has
come for the proper authorities to in
tervene. When we are paying two dol
lars a bushel for potatoes right now
and the crop OF pota toes has never
been known TO be what il is this year
the same thing is existing now that
has for some years When thousands
Of bushels or potatoes are left TO freeze
and rot on the track and apples are
bought in the spring in the orchard
and left to spoil and eggs are left
in storage until they rot. and fruit.
peaches especially. are dumped By the
boat-load irto Lake Michigan. when
our good food is maliciously destroyed
that some combine or individual might
flourish and our American children go
ing hungry. I think it is a crime. but
what can the common people do but
just conserve what little comes within
their reach and make their daily APP
peal.
Give us this DAY our daily bread
