and salt wells had net income of
$236,795,209;> during the same year,
corporations citing coal had net
income of s121,092,s3O those ex-
tracing copper had a net income of
$271,0S7,120. During the same year,
corporations extracting gold. silver
and other precious metals had a net
income of only s14,907.0S6.
Mine Owners Income.
The commissioner of internal rev.
enue also reports in 1916 the average
net income of 1854 mine owners and
operators was $45,140. Eleven mine
owners and operators had net in
come in 1916 of over $1,000, 900; 10
had net income of over $1,500,000;
and several a net income of over
S5,000,000. The total net income Of
corporations extra citing minerals was
in 1916 $79S,SS3,349.
These figures show clearly why
American financiers are so anxious to
be allowed to grab the peoples na-
tural resources. They show equally
clearly why congress should refuse to
turn over the peoples resources for
impoverishm of the many.
Passed by House.
The Esch water power bill has been
passed by the house. No hearings at
this session of congress were granted
on this bill to Alienate the country's
natural resources in water power foc
a, term of so years with rights of
! renewal. The chairmen of the SEN
ate and house committees on public
| lands have informed us that they do
! not propose to hold hearings on the
| bills to turn the peoples natural re-
sources in coal, phosphate. sodium.
oil, oil shale. and gas owned by the
United States over to would-be prof.
teers.
! The census bureau reports the aver
age value Of anthracite coal at the
| mines in 1909 was~$2.26, of bituminous
coal $1.05. These values have in
creased only slightly within the last
! few years, while the geological sur
vey reports that the public is paying
! four or five times the value of the
coal at the mines. The enactment of
| the pending bills, on which no hear
ings are to be allowed by the con-
gressmen in charge. who were e!c'' I
! to serve the public interest, will in
crease the cost of living to every
! American citizen.
Government Is Wasteful.
Could any governmental agency be
as wasteful and increase the hign
| cost of living as much as it has been
and will be increased by the turning
over of our natural resources for ex-
ploitation by our unAmerican phDfi-
teers? Some years ago the govern
! ment was obliged to appoint re-
| ceiver for certain oil wells and the
late E. J. Justice, of the attorney gen.
erals office. reported, HE (the re-
ceiver) has also operated every well
at reduced cost as compared with
the cost to the company that pre-
ceded him."
The pending legislation will increase
the price of afarm machinery, Of
transportation on railroads and Of
fares on city railways. 1t will add

by the pending bills, which have been
introduced by both Republicans and
Democrats.
The two most significant things
about private development of natur i
resources have been the frightfuls
wastefulness and the .enorm Gus profits
in spite of the wastefulness. The late
President Charles r. Van Hise of the
University of Wisconsin stated a few
years ago that the waste in mining
as in the past "amounted to from 150
to 100 per cent for anthra cite. and
to so per cent for bituminous coal of
the amount taken.
Up to 1903 nearly $50, 100000 tons
Of coal had been mined, and approxi-
mately 1000. 100000, tons of coal have
been "wasted in mining." as DR.. Van
Hise states, under the alleged effi-
cheney of private development. No
careful estimate has been made of the
waste Of the oil resources of the coun-
try although it has amounted to hum
dreds of millions of barrels. DR.. Van
Hise estimates that the waste of ma
tural gas, under the boasted eff
cheney of private development,
amounts to 100000, 100000 cubic fee,
year.
Due to Special Privilege. =.
Nearly every great fortune in the
United States is based upon private
ownership and development of some
natural resource of the country. In
five years after the dissolution of the
Standard Oil company, the companies
included in the Standard Oil combira-
ton, distributed in cash $4O7,4O1,626;
in stock at par value, $2O7,200,000;
and subscription rights at par to the
value of s40,900.O00; total of $780,
100000, while the total capitalization
of these companies on April Is, 1912,
was only $276,916,754.

that was one of our chief reasons fJr

are many members Of congress, who

proved themselves not fully loyal to

A Dozen Bills Introduced.
Nearly a dozen bills to despoil the
American people Of their natural re-
sources have been introduced in the
house and in the senate. The house
committee on public lando reported
within year that the estimated tom
mage of bituminous coal in public
ownership in accessible areas is 10,-
100000 tons; of semi -bituminous
coal, 10000, 100000 tons; and of lig-
mite coal, 50,0O0,O00,OO0 tons-a total
of 10000, 100000 tons.
This report estimates the value of
phosphate in its natural state in puc-
lie lands at 100000, 100000. The value
of the oil and Gas on the nearly 6O7,-
100000 acres of public land in the
United States is incalculable, and
there is energy enough in the water
power of the United States to keep
the business of the world running
for countless years.
Vast Wealth Left.
Our natural resources still in public
ownership are conservatively worth
close to 100000, 1000, 900, which IS
equal to the total commercial and
governmental indebtedness of the
world. Much Of these natural re-
sources will be practically given away
