ment to embark ON the policy Of
selling the coal lands still owned
by Uncle Sam1
This query 10 prompted by the

ern coal land.
This bill provides that the land
must bring not less than $Io an
acre if it is more than fifteen miles
from a railroad and Sac an acre if
it is within fifteen miles of a rail-
road. These are ridiculous prices.
II the land is sufficiently close to a

The stare OF Colorado owns vast
acres of :. land. Not an acre
has been sold for ten years. No
public official would dare suggest
that our state board of Land Com
missioners dump the states coal
land OH the market If that is a
good policy for the state, why
isn't it good policy for the nation3
There is no shortage of coal in
such western states as Colorado.
If the privately-owned mines were
operated at any where near their
capacity they could more than
supply the territory dependent
upon them. What we need in
Colorado is not more privately
owned coal mines. but Legislation
which will protect the people from
monopoly and which if necessary,
will put the state and municipal.
ties into the coal business.
Instead Of selling the state and
national coal lands, arrangements
should be made by which the most
desirable of those areas should be
developed for the benefit of all the
people.
know of railroad company in
Colorado which has leased hum
dreds of acres of coal land through
an auxiliary company. This land
is close to transportation and is
easy of development but the men
who control it do not do a tap of

say to the coal companies in the
vicinity supply our road with
coal at a reasonable price or we
will begin operations" The
threat is sufficient. No coal COM
bine dares attempt to hold up that

STATE AND NATION
WILL JOIN HANDS
SECURING JOBS
FULL COOPERATION IS
NOW ASSURED.
Federal Government Will Have Rep
resentatives in Colorado Employ
ment Bureaus; All Will
Work in Harmony.

After holding several conferences
with Brown Mcdonald, representing
the federal employment bureau at
Washington, Secretary of State
James R. holland and Deputy Labor
Commissioner W. L. Morrissey have
arranged for the cooperation of the
state and the federal government in
the conduct of the Colorado state free
employment bureau.
Due to a misunderstanding the fed
eral governments proposal did not
meet with favor with the state Off
cials when it was first taken up last
week. 1t was understood by the Colo
rado executives that the federal gov
ernment intended to absorb the state
bureaus. These have been built up
at great expense and under the direc-
ton of Commissioner Morrissey are
now highly efficient departments. 1t
developed at a final conference on
Wednesday evening of this week that
the federal government is entirely
willing that the Colorado state bu-
reaus retain their identity and that
they be conducted along the same eff
cient lines and by the same appointees
as are now employed. The govern
ment Will have representatives in each
Office and will work in perfect har-
mony with the bureaus, paying a pro-
portionate cost of the expense and all
of the advertising expense. Secretary
holland and Commissioner Morrissey
were heartily in favor Of this coop
erative plan from the beginning. their
only objection being that it was
neither fair nor just that the govern
ment should wipe out Of existence an
institution they had built up TO be Of
such value to the state
This cooperation between the gov
ernment and the state authorities
means that these bureaus in Denver,
Pueblo and Colorado Springs and the
other points where new agencies are
to be established will be operated BY
the state with the aid Of the federal
government and that the business will
be enlarged to include every class Of
employment from the day laborer on
up to the highest position. Consid-
cradle money is to be spent by the
government in advertising and il is
thought that within a very short time
these various combination agencies
will just about revolutonize the en-
ployment agency business in Colorado
No fee whatever is TO be charged for
service. One feature curing the com.
| ing few months will be obtaining mer
for farm work. The present state EN-
ployment bureaus will not be changed
for the present, but it is thought that
within a short time larger quarters
will have to be found.

NATIONAL LABOR
BOARD SELECTION

equal production and because the
men were organized they drove out
the men. This American bargain
means equal pay for equal time
and it also requires that women shall
be employed only at tasks that are
within their strength. 1t protects the
physical well-being of the women, and
safeguards the men against discrim-
ination.
1t is only reasonable to assume that
this program will be carried out with
out too strenuous protest on the part
of employers. They have agreed to
accept the findings of the joint board.
That board has reported, President
Wilson will certainly approve their
report. And with this event a new
turn in history of American industrial
development is taken. The trade
union movement will not have to spend
all of its energies upon the struggle,
here and there, for the eight-hour day
or a slight increase in wages for this
or that craft. 1t will have time, while
the joint board created by the gov
ernment is attending to these things,
to use its vast machinery also for
getting under way program of fun
perhaps, as those announced by the
British labor party, and including the
naturalization of railroads, steamship
lines. mines and the land itself.
The single takers see a chance for
their program to get the united sup
port of the wage workers of the
United States. The non-partisan
farmers, organizing rapidly thruout
the West, see chance for farmers
and wage workers TO bring about the
elimination of most of the profiteering
middlemen.
Watch the South for the next great
industrial emancipation. Lumber and
steel and other basic industries in that
section are based on cheap wage
rate. There are signs of deep dis
content, and unless more wages are
soon granted there will be develop
ments toward unionism.

DRY RESULTS in
NATIONS CAPITAL.

ing. There were in that time 1864
fewer arrests for drunkenness under
the Sheppard law than before it went
into effect, 2,i06 having been made
during the ''wet" November. Decem-
ber and January and only 742 during
the dry period.
But the most significant effect of
the new condition appears in the COM
parison regarding arrests for offenses
other than intoNication. Cases of dis
orderly conduct fell from 500 to 3ST
in this period, reduction of 552 ::
cases of assault fell from 423 to 205,
or 2lS less; housebreaking cases were
reduced by S5, from l56 to IL; cruelty
to animals caused las arrests before
the dry" law went into effect and
only n afterwards, a reduction of II /;
cases of carrying weapons fell from
a. TO 80. or S less. The total reduc-
ton of arrests under these five head
ings is impressive-from l .60S in the
three months a year ago to 719 under
prohibition, or SSi less. Combining
all cases, intoNication and otfenses
often attributable to it, the result is
a convincing showing of betterment
1900 arrests under the wet" con-
ditions and l,+6l under the dry" law,
or a reduction of 2,5+S.
Considering that each arrest means
work for the police, work for the
court and usually work for the custo-
dians of those sentenced to imprison-
ment, and that each arrest also means
loss of employment, loss of wages and
suffering for families, the net gain
to the district economically is tire
mendous. Life and property are un-
doubtedly safer under the present
conditions than before. If traffic in
intoxicants from Baltimore were cut
off this showing, on all counts, would
without question be much better. AS
it is, Washington is distinctly the
gamer thru the enforcement of the
Sheppard law.-Washington Star.

TEXAS SLAYING BARLEYCoRN

The Texas legislature in special ses-

looms within ten miles of any military
encampment. The measure went into
effect April l, and will close about
1900 saloons, including all places in
FL Paso, Fort Worth, San Antonio,
Houston and Galveston. Beaumont
will be the largest remaining wet city.
Texas has seventh of all the army
encampments, eight in number. The
state is peculiarly adapted to military
training in many ways, but the saloon
cities have caused great trouble. which
the action of the legislature will cor
rect.
In addition to passing this ten-mile
zone law. the Texas legislature rati-
fed the federal amendment to the con-
stitution and the house passed state
wide prohibition law by 1913 to 21. The
senate will undoubtedly take similar
action.
