DECLARES MINE
OPERATORS PAD
COAL ACCOUNTS
Governor Goodrich ia
Threat Of Exposure If
Board u De6ed.

Cannelton. Ind, Oct 13.-"Many
operating accounts Of coal COM
panies are padded for the purpose
OF avoiding the federal income tax"
said Governor James P. Goodrich
Of Indianapolis in an address ct Q
good xoads meeting near here to-
day, in discussing orders Of the
special coal and food commission,
which recently fixed coal prices in
Indiana. He declared that II the
mine operators Of Indiana continue
their refusal to furnish coal upon
the order Of the commission, "all
the facts in the possession Of the
commission will be given to the
public"
Discussing the assertion Of Phil
H. Penna, secretary-treasurer of
the Indiana Bituminous Coal Oper-
ators' association. that the mine
owners had no intention of com
plying with the orders of the com-
mission, the governor said that TIN
men In Indiana, who before the war
were content with salaries of $5,-
900 to $4,000, were now drawing
$4,000 and $4,000 for managing
mines.
II don't think Penna or anyone
else connected with the operators
association wants The inside facta
laid before the people OF the state. d
. said Governor Goodrich, who Is q
coal mine operator.
! People Treated Unfairly.
| After discussing the origin of the
special coal and food commission,
Governor Goodrich said in part:
"The action Of the operators in
defying the orders Of the commits
sion and the prices they are seek
ing to charge for coal in Indiana
have settled beyond question the
fact that neither the coal opera.
tors nor any other group of men
can safely be trusted to deal fArly
with the public when the fixing ol
prices is left entirely in their hands
as is the price Of coal at the pres
ent time.
"The commission has fixed price
that ia liberal and under which any
mine that has q right to operate
can make a fair profit.
The truth of the matter is thai
many operating accounts of the Goa.
companies are padded for the pur
tpose Of avoiding the federaf -t6
come tax. Men in Indiana tina
prior to the war were content Il
serve at q salary Of from $4,000 Il
$4,000 a year, are, in some in
stances, drawing $4,000 to $4,000
q year to manage mines in thi'
state. l don't think Penna or any
lone else connected with the opera
tors association wants the insid'
facts laid before the people Of tn
state. II the operators, as Penn'
indicates. want to pursue tn
same public-be-damned policy tina
drought the liquor business to 1t
7 end and has driven the public +
drastic regulatory measures in tn
control of other business to pro
tect the people from extOrtion. tn
responsibilit. lies with them"

SOUTH FACING
I. COTTON CRISIS


Washington, Oct. 13.-(By United
Press The south is facing loss
Of more than $500, 100000 On its
cotton crop, according to ]. J..
Brown, agricultural commissioner
of Georgia. Brown is attending a
general conference of farmers from
all parts Of the country held un-
der the auspices Of the national
board of farm organizations.
Wheat growers OF the west and
central west are face to face with
q similar probable loss due to the
fall in the price Of wheat. accord
ing to John Tromble Of Beloit,
Kan, another sdelegate to the con-
ference.
All agricultural interests fear
they will be forced into extensive
losses through falling prices OF
farm products generally. President
Charles S. Barrett Of the confer
ence said today.
The conference opened yester-
day. Today . special committee
was to present q program OF re-
lief to Secretaries Meredith and
Houston and probably to federal
reserve board members.
Wheat sold at an average price
Of $z.l4 per bushel Oct !, accord
ing to the agricultural department
reports.
Cotton is now selling at q
cents q pound. ~
1T costs 3S.1 cents per pound
to produce It," said Commissioner
Brown. We're going to lose $50
on every bale We sell at q cents /.
The crop this year will run more
than 100000 bales. Very little
of It Is sold.
Bankruptcy Losns.
IF southern planters must sell
their cotton at q cents there will
be many bankrupts in the south
The action Of night riders who
threaten to burn gins and crops oi
farmers who sell for q cents doef
not represent the true sentiment
of the south. Planters are law.
abiding citizens. They'll do the
best they can under the circum.
stances. But We hope the circum'
stances will soon. be more favor
able"
ITO produce wheat costs $2.77.'
said Tromble. "A price Of $2.14
therefore represents . loss Of 6:
cents Der bushel.
This Is not in accordance viii
the Law OF supply and demand
There Is . world wheat shortage
England IL going to need to i'm
port 450.000, 900 bushels. Most o
it must come from the .Unitet
States and Canada. But-th twt
countries together will have onl,
SO. .eOo. 900 bushels for export
There is no justification for fall

Levinsky- Carpenter, Man-o'-War-
Sir Barton and bolshevfk arguments
amicably concluded. nothing now
seems in the way Of proper con-
centration Of public attention upon

Three weeks from today the re-
suit will be known. Both the big
parties are set for an intensive

majority OF fifty or more in the
house OF representatives, they are
by no means 80 assured Of control
Of the senate.
The Democratic managers, who
have hitherto admittedly had little
hope Of landing the national ticket,
are positively predicting Cox's cleo
ton. largely as q result OF what
they term Harding's "vacillating'
course with regard to the League Of
Nations" They alDo profess to be

Of the presidential result includes
in the Democratic column West Vir-
ginia, Indiana and Ohio, and IA un-
named western states.
Much Speculation.
There has been much speculation
as to the reasons for the abandon
ing of Harding's proposed trip to
New York City, Connecticut and
New Jersey. The Republican man
ayers insist it is simply because
such a visit is not necessary to Re
publican success in those states
Democrats profess to see in It q
