BRITISH STATE SOCIALISM
COSTLY

The eaperience Of Great Britain in the
naturalization OF industries has oeeh
AVIAN moro costly than that or the
Irnt4ed States. Figures submitted % the
House Of Commons show that tho cost
of the British railroad administration
has been three hundred million dollars
4 year moro than the receipts, the bread
A,bsiay has cost another three hundred
million and the deficit from the govern
a,ent suDervision Of the coal mines 3S3
million dollars
: British taxpayers are beginning to
FAY bluntly that this sort Of thing must
uton. and one method they are taking 10
stop 1t Is by an arbitrary advance in
the price Of coal. Notice has been StE"n
By the government that coal will be ad-
taneed S1.25 ton above even the war
levels. British mine workers have been
persistent and arrogant in their demands
for shortening Of hours and advances IN
wages. and they have reacneo me point
that their industry has become burden
upon British manufacture as well as
upon .he entire consuming public. It Is
fashionable now in Great Britain, APP
perently, to agitatc for higher nominal
Sya 1es and then 10 complain loudly be-
cause money fails to buy as much as it
ancs did. Nominal wages, or course, do
not make prosperity. The only real
wealth is gained By the increase Of pro-
Fiction.

Shortly after leaving Now York en-
route for Eoston the railway tram
passes through solid rock. The repair
men on this section OF the railway con
,ceived the idea OF planting cii.nolnE
roses. Just now tho traveller for several
miles passes through rocks t"st"onco
with great masses Of pink blossoms
Last week n gentleman was so Impress

Iluxuriance OF these roses that nc &C.

for an experiment. He cut the bush OH
1T the roots then clipped tho roses from
the branches, weighed ths rosepush ana
boughs, and then weighed the PINK
blossoms, and found. TO his as'onlSh-
ment, that there were two POUNDS OF
roses to one pound OF houEhS. No such
glorious excess Of beauty has over pc
fore been witnessed by travellers. IN"
Jagged edges OF tho rocks are soft
ened BY Karlands of flowers. For INC
moment the traveller seems Ia be rldlhG
