To the Editor of the EVeniag Public Ledger:
Sir-You conclude your leading editorial
in saturdays issue with the following peril
nent statement: THE question now is wheth-
er there can be organized in the State Legis-
lature a commission qualified to do something
that stumped the committee of United States
Senators-to give the public a simple and
lucid explanation of the situation as it actu-
ally exists In the coal industry. The people
themselves will do the rest" While I ad-
lnire the spirit with which you approach
the question, I cannot agree with you in
hoping that a commission OF the State Legis-
lature (qualif1ed or unqualifed) will arrive
AT any better results than the commission
of United States SenatoTs-if we continue
10 recognize, by law and custom. the private
ownership of the natural resources of the
state.
IL the coal companies have a just and
moral right OF ownership IN the lands from
which the coal must be produced, then they
have the right to mine little or no coal and
to fix whatever price upon 1t they At. A
legislative committee could recommend and
a state adntpistration could enforce lire

mark in this new dancing fad. Another act
which is being rehearsed by the dancing
chorus is my Garden Beautiful"
The cast of this years production has not
yet been entirely selected but several skits
one of them political. are being developed

A Burning Question

To the Editor Of the EUenin0 Pu1itG LEDGER
Sir-After the facts of the case are pre-
scented in practical manner and the argu-
ments concluded. ! will ask for the verdict
I think it will be proven that the prevailing
high prices of domestic coal is the result of
careful manipulation OF conditions by the
large and wealthy operators, who unControl!"
ed by law and not interested in the suffering
of the masses during the severe winter
weather, except to profit thereby, privately
fix the prices after destroying competition
by tricks of trade. such keeping cars
from Independent miners, shutting OFT pro
duction thus restricting the. output to less
than the demand, and putting the blame upon
the labor element.
Family size pea coal should be put III our
homes at a price not over five $50 dollars
and the larger sizes of domestic coal at
not over six $50 dollars per ton, cleaned
picked clear of slate. This will allow the
operators, miners and railroads an honest,
fair business profit and every cent of proht
they are entitled to.
The high priced experts and fancy figuring
college accountants cannot sharpen up their
pencils sharp enough to disprove the fol-
lowing facts:
About twenty-five years ago the writer
bought excellent family pea coal for Sl.lO
by the carload and the larger sizes Tor 81
to $2.2O per Ton of 224O pounds from various
was $1.40 per ton on pea coal and pl.7O on
larger sizes This coal was retailed to the
housekeeper at $3.50 per ton for pea coal
and the larger sizes at $4.75 to $5.25 clean
and clear of slate.
The improved rapid method of delivery OF
coal at the present time to the consumer
eaualzes the cost with the old cost under
less favorable appliances and wages, and L
doubt If all the elements carefully con-
sidered and calculated that enter into the
problem of delivering that it will be found
that it costs more cent than Vit did
wears ago Furthermore, the railroads are
handling fifty-ton cars, where formerly they
delivered four to twenty-ton cars. so the
railroad charges remain same as years ago,
and lastly the economic mining methods with
mechanical slate picking make up for higher
wages paid the miners.
Surely God in His great wisdom did not
hide this necessity of life In the earth for
the profit of the few, to work a great hard
ship on the toling masses, and the same
argument applies to the oil. No man ever
created a ton of coal a gallon of oil.
Democracy government by the people, the
people elect and pay the salaries of their
representatives, who in turn misrepresent
them New taxes are laid to create positions
feed on smaller ones. These in turn live on
lesser Npnes and the smallest worm the work
ing man, carries the load, and If by thrift he
saves for sickness old age, the income
tax confronts him.
