Esch of Wisconsin then called at

these low freight rates, the Govern
ment-owned railways Of Prussia
have paid large profits.
Cooper closed his remarks by say
ing that "there r many more inn

sidered before it is possible to make
q wise decision on the great question
of Government ownership. That
question is not before us and / am
not discussing it nor advocating Gov

Social Insurance May Come.
It looks now as though the House
would pass the London resolution
calling for a study and report by a
special commission, as to the need
for a national system of social insur-
ance. Old age pensions, sickness in
a and unemployment insurance
are the chief items in the program
which may be reported upon within
a year. If the report is favorable,
it is likely that the present Soldiers
and Sailors Insurance Act will be
amended and revised to cover the
nation, in so far as old age and in
validity insurance is concerned. .
The Conference for Democratic
Financing of the War, which met in
Washington last week, brought out a
great many views of the future Of
America in it's world-relations, but it
was agreed upon one point-that the
wealth must be conscripted along with
men. William English Walling, who
has been a leader in the Alliance for
Labor and Democracy, made a strong
demand for high taxation of incomes
between $4,000 and $1,000,000 a year
as England has done. He showed
that the man with $4,000 a year
pays only 6 per cent of it in income
tax, and the man with 100000 a year
is per cent, while the multi-million-
aire whose income is 81, O0O 900 has to
give up AZ per cent. The British tax
on the man of 100000 income is more
than twice as great as the American
tax. The income of 100000 a year
or more actually amount to only one
twelfth of the incomes that are sub
ject to tax. There are only FOG per-
sons in the class above $4,000 a
year. This hundred thousand have
come off easily in the rates set by
Congress-, and the Government is
thereby deprived of the chance to
raise $4,000, 0O0, 1000 a year in income
taxes,

Conserving Fuel.

While North Dakota is not directly
affected by the fuel famine in the
east it has been indirectly hit through
the congestion in traffic and the sus-
pension Of certain lines of manufac-
turing. 1t has been difficult, howev-
er, for North Dakota, with it's coal
bins and fuel yards filled, to appre-
ciate the situation existing in less
favored portions of the country, or to
appreciate the necessity for fuel saw
ing at home as well as east Of the
Mississippi.
That such necessity does exist ev-
erywhere Director FL. S. Garfeld's
order, and it's ready, if sometimes un-
willing, acceptance Of eastern indus
tries indicates. The closing of fac
tories and stores and shops and theat-
res, the heatless Mondays and other
| radical innovations enforced by DR..
| Garfield, all have been essential, Cap
tain I. P. Baker, Federal Fuel Admin
istrator for North Dakota, declares,
to Americas success in the great con-
fict in which it has engaged.
With the railroads everywhere con-
gested with freight; with ships bunk
ers in eastern ports barren of coal,
non-essential industries, which had no
immediate market for their products
and which could not have shipped had
there been a market, insisted upon de-
manding their normal fuel supply and
upon operating at full capacity. Eth
er they did not understand. the SER
iousness Of 1the situation, or, under
standing, they persisted in their
course for unpatriotic reasons which
may be Investigated at q later date,
states the federal fuel administration.
The opposition which they succeeded
in creating was short lived. DR.. Gar
fields order went into effect at the
very minute specified, and with very
are exceptions it has been strictly
obeyed. Some necessary modifica-
tions have been made and the east is
fast adjusting itself to the new sit
uation.
The order for the limitation Of cleo
trio signs and all outdoor lighting,
made effective for two nights in the
week, il strictly observed throughout

tween 10000 and 100000 tons 81

COAL MINES ARE
NOW BEING OPENED
North Dakota Periodically Responds
to Pleas for Greater Production.

North Dakota is periodically res
ponding to the United States Fuel
ADMINISTRATORS plea for a greater
production of coal by opening dozens
of new coal mines. Some of these
are now producing; others will be in
position to begin digging coal next
summer. Although North Dakota
Ignite mines are now producing more
coal than they can sell, there is every
indication that consumption Of this
native fuel will be doubled or trebled
next winter, and that any stock-piles
which may be accumulated during the
warm months will be needed.
The United States Fuel Administra-
tion, announces Capt. I. P. Baker,
Federal Fuel Administrator for North
Dakota, is anxious that during the
coming months the maximum produc-
ton Of coal mines be realized; that
the capicity Of the mines be increas-
ed in every practicable way, and that
the normal development Of mining
properties be maintained and conti4-
ued.
"The Fuel Administration" con-
tinued Capt. Baker, recognizes the
fact that development cost is greater
as the present time than prior to the
beginning Of the war, and in r%eclassi-
flying mines under the Presidents
prices it will take into consideration
this present abnormal cost, persons
contemplating the development OF
mining properties should bear in
mind the fact that it is not the in
tention of the Fuel Administration to
grant special prices for coal pro-
duced in new mines-prices in excess
of the government prices-merely be-
cause these operations r new. New
developments should be on such a
basis that coal produced therefrom
may be sold in normal times, at a
profit, and sold at present at the
governments price, or less"
1t is the opinion of Capt. Baker
that the ultimate big consumption of
Ignite, in an industrial way, will be
in a powdered form fed to the fur
naces with a blower system. He sug-
gests that producers need not fear a
loss through the Stacking of Ignite
in their coal piles, as an ever-increas-
ing market for the coal in the form
of slack may be anticipated.

Literary society will meet at the

prepared and we all hope that those
who are assigned parts will appear
on the program. Another thing, we
cordially invite everyone, both old
and young to attend these meetings.
Come my friends and see for your
selves what the young folks r do
ing. We hope that one and all will
take this opportunity to investigate
the true form Of things and not take
someone else's record. Seeing is be-
lieving and listening to other people
is hurting both the talker and the n
talked to.
Pete Christensen has enlisted to
fight the fight to make democracy
safe for the world. Mr.. Christianson
is not a citizen Of the United States
but at the same time he believes in

to be congratulated on the stand
which he has taken. America sure
