CAUSE COAL FAMINE.

The nation faces q coal famine be-
cause the railroads are unable or un-
willing to serve the people. The SIT
uation is admittedly serious, and the
next few weeks may be potent with
most disastrous possibilities.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has again interposed it's authority and
issued priority orders that are expected
to secure relief for the northwest. It
is said that one of the causes of de-
pleted coal stocks is the refusal of
railroads to respect the commission 8
priority orders. Coal is given long
haul preference, and because in some
instances railway management is closely
interlocked with coal production first
and greater claim is given to the re-.
quirements Of spectators who are gam
bling in Europe's dire necessities.
The fuel controller of: New York
states that the metropolis faces the
unpleasant possibility of $25- coal this
year because needed supplies are being
diverted to Europe, where famine prices
are offered. We are victims Of peculiar
and abnormal conditions that exist in
devastated countries. The people who
own and produce the coal are not to be
permitted to use it because spectators
can make larger profits by disposing Of
it elsewhere.
Meanwhile, widespread manipulation
Of coal by grafters and pro6teers is
disclosed by indictments recently Sc
cured by the department Of justice
against New York public utility con-
Germ. A federal grand jury states that
coal operators and railway officials are
grating so unconsciously that many Of
those who prefer to do business hon
estly are being forced into receiver
ships.
One dealer who refused to pay graft
was unable to secure coal supplies. An
other dealer who was not restrained by
any dnicky considerations made a clear
profit of $s,ooo,ooo in three months.
For every dollar that is paid to rail
road officials and coal operators from
two to three dollars is added to the
price of fuel. The people are paying a
heavy bill, and they are not getting
fuel-in adequate quantities. They are
caught on both horns Of very serious
dilemma about which department Of jus.
tice officials do much talking without
giving much concern to those guilty of
reprehensible practices.
The president is urged to, name a
fuel controller to handle the situation.
1t is pointed out that the public is
absolutely at the mercy Of pfofteers
and gamblers and that unless immedi.
ate action is taken great suffering and
privation will be sure to follow.

price Of their products has fallen al

it will no doubt interest thousands of
working men and women who are
threatened with wage reductions in
order that dividends to !t.Big Business"

AMENDMENT NO. /.


Of the proposed amendments to be
voted on at the general election next
Tuesday, except the Good Roads
Amendment, which will be No. 1 on
the pink ballot. We have reserved dis
cussion on this amendment till the
last.
There is nothing the people generally
should be more interested in than good
roads. They are the great need Of
the time. With the modern means Of
travel they mean so much in keeping
down the cost Of the things we need
most.
Good roads mean that the farmer
can haul his produce to the nearest city
market at the minimum Of transporta-
tion cost. When the farmer comes to
town with the things he has to sell it
brings him just that much closer to
the consumer. It cuts out needless
middlemen. Some middlemen are nee
essary in the great organization Of dis
tribution, but our antequated system
Of marketing encourages many unnec-
essary middlemen to barter in the ne
cessities Of life. They are the kind
that profteer most on such, and farm
ers, merchants and consumers would be
much better off if they were out Of
the way.
Good roads will do more than any
thing we can imagine to eliminate the
Objectionable sort of middlemen. In
states that have good roads farmers
think nothing of hauling their produce
by auto trucks to cities 100 miles or
more removed from their farms. Du~
luth is at the mercy of unnecessary
middlemen because of the difficulty ex-
perienced in collecting and asserting
produce for local consumption and
neighboring distribution. Good roads
will solve the problem here at-home.
Mr.. Babcock Of the state highway
commission has studied out an excel
lent plan for road building in Mime
sofa. It is proposed to levy tax on
every automobile in the state, and the
money derived therefrom is to be used
exclusively for state road building.
These roads will not cost the tax pay.
ers as such single dollar. The
auto owners, the people who use the
roads the most, will pay for it all.
Then, too, the federal government will
help. It already has appropriated
money to assist the states that show q
disposition to help themselves. Min
nesota will share in this appropriation
if Amendment No. l is adopted.
There is no argument against the
amendment. It will receive big at.
frmative vote, but it needs an unus.
ually big vote to be passed. No amend
ment to the constitution Of Minnesota
can be adopted unless it shall receive
a majority Of all votes cast at the
election. That means that more than
80 per cent of the people who vote for
president must vote "yes'' on Amend
ment No. or it will fail Of passage.
Every person who does not vote on
the amendment really and in effect
casts vote against it.
AS all Of the proposed amendments
there are four to be voted on-are
for the public good, the safe thing to
do is to vote for them first before you
forget about it. The amendments will
be found on the pink ballot. Vote
