COAL.

/ After all allowances have beeen made for all
| the known factors which contribute to the cost
Of coal, many people feel themselves forced to
ftfc conclusion that there is profiteering and
frank injustice to consumers In fuel at present
prices. Whatever the facts may be, the con-
viction is widespread that something very like
Ieatortion prevails at the mouth Of the mine and
all along the line If this be So it should be ex-
posed and checked. Coal at twelve dollars a
ton and upward--that is the demand in some
parts of the country-is a crime against the
people. The operators seek to clear their skirts
by the assertion that the average price of bit
luminous coal at the mine is about three dollars
and fifty cents and that spectators and COM
petitive bidding by consumers are responsible
Tor the exorbitant charges piled on top of first
cost and freight. Be that as it may, govern
ment is handling dynamite with recklessness il
it permits, or does not or cannot prevent the
continuance of these excessive prices. Nature
has been lavish to our land and the coal supply
in sight will more than suffice for a long period
Of phenomenal growth and industrial expan-
sion. It is appallingly easy in times like these
to put citizens out of conceit with their political
and there is no surer, speedier way
of doing this than to allow fuel to be placed be

For we are the same our fathers have seen

From the death shrinking fathers would shrink
To the life clinging they also would cling;
But it speeds from all like a bird on the wing.
They loved, but the story we cannot unfold;
They scorned. the heart of the naughty is cold;
They ground but work from their slumber will Gomez
They joyed but tongue of their gadness is dumb
They died!-ay, they died; things that now,
That walk the turf that lies their brow
And make their dwellings transient abode,
Mold the things that they their pilgnnage road
Yet! hope and dependency, pleasure and pain,

And the smile the the song and the dirge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.

From the blossom of health to the paleness of DEATH
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud;
oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

A LIVING LESSON.

Seventy-five years ago George ". Jones was
born in Montgomery county, Kentucky. He
may have known who his father was; probably
he did not. for at that time he was not entitled
TO a name Of his own, owing to the unfortunate
fact that he was born in slavery, In ignorance
and In the deepest of all degradation to which
man may be precpitated through no fault of his
own. When the emancipation proclamation
freed him some twenty years later George did
not turn bolsheyik, organize gang of fellow
radicals wave red flag and curse his neigh
Dors: he decided to go to work and look after
himself in country which told him that he was
given equal opportunity with any other free
man. One year from the time he was freed
found him homesteader in Jefferson county,
Kansas Recently he wrote a letter to each OF
his ten children and enclosed, with his kind re-
CARDS and few fathery lnaxims check for
thousand dollars. Does the meanest man en-
tering through the sea gates Of America today
lace such handicap as stared George W. Jones
In the face when he first knew what life was
supposed to mean to him? Does the American
born boy, starting in to carve out his destiny,
encounter at any turn such handicaps as this
poor negro overcame? The cheering thing about
the despatch of Jones' ten letters is not that his
children got thousand dollars each; it is that
every respondent worker may gain inspiration
from the fathers vigorous fight against tremen-
dous Odds

TAX ON EXPENDITURES.

Excess profits taxes, surtaxes, other expert
ments In taxation we are trying, have not brok
en- the circle of price boosting and wage boost
ing; they have not cured profiteering. But they
are sweating money out of all the people; the
government gets revenue and apparently those
who have most pay most; but analysis shows
that all these taxes are passed on to the con-
sumner and thus the people pay. Moreover, CAPT
tai for industries is being rapidly depleted by
its run into tax exempt securities We have got
Ito find reasonable and economic method of
taxation in the near future.
This makes particularly interesting Otto
Kahn S proposal that as one possible measure of
Irelef revision of our income taxation on the
basis of expenditures be considered. Mr.. Kahn
suggests that 'sthe emphasis of taxation be laid
rather on expenditures than on incomes and
that sharply marked distinction be made be-
tween such portion of a persons income as is
used constructively In savings, investments, or
enterprise, and such portion as is spent ON his
scale of living
Ii such a scheme is workable it is possible
that it would correct some basic evils that now
prevail. It would reach those who are holding
tax exempt securities and escaping the burden
of income taxation which those who have their
money in industrial enterprise must bear IT.
would set a premium on employment of money
to serve industrial production and expansion
It would encourage thrift. Mr. Kahn says it
probably would exempt expenditures of GER
tain minimum sum per annum and would be ap.
piled moderately in moderate expenditures and
would be severely progressive on large expendi-
tures.''
One thing it would be likely to accomplish;
this is stopping the trend toward paternalism
which comes from turning more and more of our
capital toward centralized government control
and diverting it from Individual enterprise.
Size of income is less a matter of public con
Germ than the use to which our incomes, large
and small, are put Taxes that cripple our pro-
ductive capacity and resources will not pay in |
the end they will defeat themselves by lessen
ing ability to pay them We want taxes dis |
tributed equally on the basis of ability to pay;
but we want reasonable freedom of capital to
work productivity.

UNITED AUTO STORES
LAUNCHES Project HERE
Event Celebrated With Banquet
at the Hotel du Pont; Ad-
dressed by the Mayor.

Having made Wilmington one of the
links in its chain of stores, the United Auto
Stores. Inc, last night celebrated the
the opening OF the local establishment at
the southwest corner of Tenth and Orange
streets, by giving a banquet ct the Hotel
du Pont. The purpose was to explain TO the
business men, who comprised the guests
what the company has done and what it
proposes to do The headquarters are at,
I4ll Walnut street. Philadelphia Allison
n KINNEY, a native of Wilmington, a
graduate OF the High School and cham
store man of eight years experience, is
one of the directors. Edward p. b. G. rrier,
the originator OF the company, is the presl-
dent
Addresses were made by Mayor Will
liam G. Taylor and Alfred ID. Warner,
president of the Chamber of Commerce
who welcomed the enterprise to Whining
ION, while Messrs. KINNEY, carrier and
other of officers of the company outlined
the business and plans.
The start was made by Mr.. Carrier
with one store IN Philadelphia, selling
automobile tires and accessories, which
FIVE years ago was doing business in a
modest way. At that time, Mr.. Carrier
said. he worked behind the counter part
of each day and the rest of the time was
not selling. he conceived the cnaln store
idea, with its advantage in wholesale buy
ing. concentrated administration and oppor-
tunity to take advantage of big deals.
The result was the incorporation Of the
limited auto stores, last September, with
81 100000 capital. Now there are branch
es in operation In Philadelphia. Whining
ton, Chester, Reading, Allentown, Bethle-
hem, York, Williamsport, Pottsville,
Scranton, Harrisburg Waynesboro,
Charnbersburg, Coatesville, Pottstown
and Lebanon, Pa, Atlantic City, \. j.,
and Elmira. n Y. II is expected TO estab-
lish 100 within the year and TO have large
warehouses at Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
Pa, and Syracuse, \. Y, and TO keep on
expanding after that. Each employee has
an interest, which applies especially to
each store ma anager, so as to get direct
local interest and atmosphere at each
place.
Mr.. KINNEY told of the success, pos
sibitities and advantages of the chain
store system, the keynote Of which is
rapid turnover.
An interesting musical program was
furnished by the original six orchestra,
one of the members of which, Warren ".
