PEOPLE:
EXPER|ME NT|NG
WITH COAL WAX

STOCKHOLM, May 30.-Thc great
shortage Of fats-4n Germany and the
resulting necessity of using more Of
all edible fats for human consump-
ton have driven the empires scion
tific men to extensive experimental
ton with so-called mineral wax"
The result has been both a more
varied use Of this product and a
greatly improved method Of procnr-
ing it.
Mineral wax is a substance extract
ed from brown coal with the aid Of
benzinc, henzoI or other technical sol
vents Benzol is nov used exclusive
ly in Germany for this purpose Old
methods have been unable to extract
all the wax from the coal treat
ed but the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
for experimentation With coal is now
winning nearly the entire quantity in
the coal treated.
The main features of its improved
system consist in extracting the wax
under a high pressure. as much as
six atmosphcrcs, and at a high rate OF
temperature. y brown coal which had
produced only II per cent. OF wax
under the old system gives up - per
cent. under the new treatment.
Mineral wax was used in peace
times mainly for the fabrication OF
shOe-p0lish, photograph records and
the insulation of electric cables. Its
high percentage Of sebacic acid
about sixty per cent. of it's entire
cOntent-has been turned to account
in the making Of consistent fats. It
is also being used extensively in tie
paper industry as sizing, taking the
place OF COlOphOnium
! Experiments are now being conduct
ed to find a method Of refining the
wax and giving it Il lighter color.

sumed in South America, and by practi-
cal annexation of Finland and the Baltic
provinces of Russia, Germany now con-
trolls main pulp wood stand of Europe.
The German paper industry has been
maintained during war, and may be ex-
pected to reach after domination of the
worlds market. If American paper in
dustry is to have good share Of South
American market, water power must be
developed, especially in the vicinity Of the
Western pulp wood forests
Another reason is given by Secretary
of the Interior Lane, in an article pub
lished by the Review Of Reviews. John
D. Ryan, Of Montana, told him that he
intended to apply an unused plant of 150,-
600 horse power on the Missouri River to
reduction of manganese ore. When full
capacity is used, five 5000 ton ships can
be taken off run to Brazil and put into
war service across the Atlantic.
A third reason is to be found in re-
peated alarms about decrease in coal
consumption when the demand is con-
stantly increasing. Coal should be used
only for purposes to which hydrO-electric
power cannot be applied, in order that
there may be enough coal to generate the
power on ships, and, in shape Of coke, for
smelling, also to export to Italy and also
to France, where the supply is deficient.
The use Of water power enters into all
activities of war and commerce. It would
save coal, labor, transportation by rail
and ship to an enormous extent. It would
put us in strong position for CONNER
cial competition which is to follow, and
would 20 far to remove some of our most
serious economic difficulties. When the
bill is reported to the House no delay
should be suffered in making it law

REASONS FOR WATER POWER

New reasons for early development of
water power constantly accumulate. A
forceable one was given in the House
Committee by S. F. Weston, representing
the newspaper publishers. Not only is
the United States largely dependent on
Canada for wood pulp, while the Ameri-
can stand Of pulpwood is sufficient to
meet the country's needs for the next
century and much of it is adjacent to the
power sites, but control of South Ameri-
can paper market depends on cheap pro-
ductlon of paper by water power in this
country. Before the war Germany sup
piled half of the news print paper con-

WHY THE CAMOUFLAGE?

D.
Requests are being sent asking coop.
Grafton of the press in placing before the
public the platform and program for
constructive democracy as fathered by
the new national party, organized Octob-
er 3 to A, 1917. Enclosed with the letter
is the program and platform.
On reading it all through we find it the
old story camouflaged under a new name
National Party" sounds better than
Socialism"
When this party was organized it SEEM
ed to be closely affiliated with the wide
" advertised Non Partisan League.
Here was another case Of cam0uflage
for the name "Non-P Partisan" covered
the rankest socialistic program ever ex-
plotted in America On close study of the
new party program the only difference
one can see between it and the Non-Par-
tisan League is that the National Party
is better camouflaged in that its socialis-
tic propaganda is clothed in better lit
erar'y style.
Its program is more dangerous, how
ever, as it is much more far reaching. 1t
advocates everything the Non-P Partisan
League does but goes much farther in
favoring paternalism and bureaucratic
control Of individual liberty. It pirates
about freedom of speech and democratic
control Of all utilities and then turns
right around and advocates public own
ership and operation Of steam and cleo
trio railroads, shipping telegraphs and
telephones, coal and metal mines, water
power, natural gas and oil wells, light
and power plants, timber lands, terminal
warehouses and elevators, packing plants
and flour mills and all other public utili-
ties and basic industries which depend on
franchaises, or require large scale opera
ton. In other words it favors public
ownership Of anything bigger than a
peanut stand and if you happened to own
two peanut stands the public ought to
own the business. It favors single tax,
government insurance Of several differ
ent brands, continually shorter working
days, etc.
It would remove all incentive for indi-
vidual activity and make every citizen
and workman subject to the bureaucrat-
ic rule of an official aristocracy.
Shades Of George Washington, are the
American people ready to give up their
hirthright Of individual activity and be
satisfied to exist under a system Of pa
ternalism that would transform them in
to mere cogs in wheel Of officialisni
which would cause Germany's highly GEN.
tralized and autocratic form Of handling
the individual liberties of its people to
pale into insignificence.
We are indeed drifting far away from
the safe and sane principles Of American
democracy when an American college, as
is being done in this case, apparently al
lows itself to be used for the exploration
of these European ideas Of socialism and
paternalism.- Manufacturer

ASSESSMENT AND TAXATION

If there is any one principle of taxation
that should be rigidly adhered to it is the
old fundamental idea of uniform and
equal rates of assessment of all property.
Well meaning but mistaken academic
theorists are always trying to change this
rule on the plea that some special inter-
est or large industry should be singled
out for heavier taxation.
Most western states have voted down
propositions giving state tax commits
sions the right to classify property for
purposes of arbitrary valuations and ar
bitrary exemptions as being dangerous.
Several western states are now consid-
ering such propositions that are constant
ly being advanced by socialistic politi-
clans, one amendment proposed to the
constitution of Utah to increase assess
ment of mines.
The Utah plan proposes to add assess
ed valuation on the basis Of some multi
pie of the annual net proceeds Of the
mine, that state having voted down a
plan to add three times the annual pro-
ceeds to assessment.
In nearly all states mining properties
pay on land and improvements, on all
above ground and under the ground, the
center Of the earth and the sky being the
limit to the Imagination of the assessor
and lawmaker.
Taxation laws of some states show
seven forms Of state taxes, and five kinds
of federal taxes now paid by mines and
reduction plants, besides many kinds Of
fees and registration laws and reports.
Taxation abuses can only step with con-
fiscation and paralysis of industries and
new tax legislation should be suspended,
on war industries at least until the war
is over.
