Corn and Coal

Some thirty years ago farmers Of Nebraska and Kansas were burning corn for fuel instead of coal The statement made in joint meeting of the house and senate committee agriculture Thursday. that the farmers of that section threatening to corn for fuel again.
 Thirty years ago this use of did not to be so great a waste. There was no market for corn, that is, worthwhile market; there corn everywhere so that there were special local de- mands feeding, such would attract from remote distances The western states of the belt were in a unfavorabe condition by of their meager transportation facilities Fuel scarce there for the same reason and it seemed good business to burn corn fifteen bushel, rather than coal higher price.
 The farmers of that region not merely threatening to burn corn but they actu- ally doing according the dispatches the last two weeks Coal in that part of the country is selling at s15 Corn is better fuel and, ton ton, gives out heat than coal It is easier and less expensive handle, thus possessing superiority in all respects coal It is there fore good business to burn instead of coal just it generation ago.
 But to the rest of the country, the situation is quite different what it then. There is not much, enough corn in the country. In many parts of the country it is badly needed feeding hogs and cattle of which there not enough. This corn used for fuel might be con verted into thousands of tons of meat rather than into temporary heat with by-product of ashes.
 If the people who need for feeding could get it, they could afford pay price for it that would make it object for the grower buy coal. The trouble though to lie in de- fective transportation system which prevents the free flow of commodities the places of origin along natural channels the places where they the most needed.
 In casting about for plans of relief for the farmer, the business of transportation might be dealt with to the advantage of only the farmer but to that feeder and the ultimate consumer in different parts of the country.

 If Mir. Colby did not this the further marks of the Plain Dealer accurate and applic able:
 What the British government says in reply to the Colby may be tempered by British hope that America will yet assume it's rightful place among the allies. No other consideration would be likely to prevent a firm denial of the American contention. And in this, Great Britain would be act ing in full accord with the opinion among Americans themselves that this nation, that the demands of national politics having been satisfied will shortly ratfy the peace and enter the league"

LAUGH AND GROW FAT

Once a physician was called In T hurry to see nursing baby that had violent convulsions. Tn the course of his visit he learned that a washer woman in the house had got too wild and threatened the cook with a knife and that that had frightened the babys mother.
 He took a sample of the mother s milk for analysis. and found that its different constituents were all out of proportion-too little of this and too much of that
 The mothers fear had deranged her bodily functions enough to change the milk; the -proportioned milk had caused the baby's indigestion; and the indigestion had caused the convulsions.
 What kind Of health would that baby have had if the mother had been kept on edge continually by perpetual fam | fly quarrels. or if the child itself a little later had had its stomach turned by endless scolding and fault finding?

cred by a good many citizens to be for the best that this town should be in corporated. This week while a peti- tion was being prepared as the law directs, I was surprised to learn that we'll meaning and informed men enter tained such queer and, to me, unrea- sonable views, namely: They hold it to be incumbent that this town should be incorporated by a special act of the legislature. Their reasons are ex- tensive, and to my mind, no reasons at all. We have a law on our statute books for the incorporation of villages which if its directions are followed and this town is incorporated under that act. will be binding and legal and will have all the force as a special act for that purpose were passed. My ad- vice is, incorporate at once. The taxes a village government would inn pose upon the citizens would be but a nominal sum which will be equally borne by the property owners of this town.

PnoenlX, Dec. l, l5ZV- Editor Arizona Republican:
 I was interested in the account of the refusal by Charles Garland, the young Massachusetts man to accept a legacy of one million dollars, but your editorial on the subject in your issue of this date is much more inter- esting to me.
 Eet me say that if every one re- fused to accept wealth he had not earned, and this money would, by legal process. revert to the state, there could be no more equitable distribu- tion, for it would benefit the whole people, who as states and municipali- ties are eternally burdened with debt from which the people do not even hope to free themselves.
 The collection of the income tax is only one method of confiscation. It is way of forcing. what MT. Garland is doing voluntarily, and whose action you seem to think win do less good than it would had he accepted the legacy and distributed it among suf- fering people. The very fact that he would receive this wealth without earning it, would imply that some one must have earned it without getting it
 The course he has taken will dc much to set people to thinking. It in- spired your editorial and likely hund- reds of others.
 Very truly yours, FRANK T. BAUHOF,

coMMoN SENSE

Roger W. Babson has said something for business men to think about.
 Business men should note the ao- ceptance of sound truth on the part of employers. namely, that the con surning power of the public depends upon decent wage levels and steady employment drastic and general wage cut in all industries would mean a distinct loss in sales. This should not be lost sight of by merchants in their present reluctance to reduce mark-ups."
 It is sound advice. When all is said and done, the foreign trade of the United States. enormous as it is when stated in dollars, is a drop in the bucket to the domestic market. It re- mains true that American merchants must find their real market for goods in the United States This will become increasingly evident as economic read justment proceeds and Europe becomes able to liquidate the one sided balance of trade that has existed since the be- ginning of the great World war. The home market must be the prin- cipal dependence of business. And what is this home market? IA l is the vast body of workingmen anN women-hand and brain workers whose daily toll produces the com modities which the population needs in l its daily life. Roughly speaking, it may be said that 90 per cent of the population belong to workers families. Ten per cent, perhaps. live by owner l ship.
 It follows, of course, since everybody must have a house to live in, some kind of clothing to wear, and must eat three meals day, that the 90 per cent
 who work with hand and brain (count ing their families) must of necessity be the great body of consumers in any
 nation. If these people are steadily employed at good wages. as Babson points. out. they can continue to con
 sume at maximum and business will
 be good If, however. drastic wage cuts and layoffs are resorted to by business men, rather than sell at a
 reasonable price. the consumers. with income curtailed or stopped. cannot
 continue to buy back the products they
 have produced for the owners of in-
 dustry. That means bad" business. No nation can long remain prosper ous unless the vast body of it's work Iers are profitably employed.

Mir. Colby or America?

In apparent criticism of our secretary of state the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a staunch supporter of the administration in all it's details says: "The American people will find it difficult to follow the logic of Secretary Colby his the British government in reference to the supposed rights and privileges belonging to the United States under the treaty of peace"
 What tho Plain Dealer aims at is not to find fault with the secretary but to castgae those who have not consented to MT. Wilson's League of Ma tions That is apparent in the following statement: How this country comes to possess either rights privileges under compacts we have refused to ratify remains to be explained" Again says the Plain Dealer, America insists on a fair division of priv- leges without being willing to share any of the re- sponsibnity of peace" Further, If the United States wishes to enjoy the rights claimed by MT. Colby it's first should be ratify the Yer sailles treaty and enter the League of Nations"
 The applicability of the Plain Dealers remarks depends upon what Mr. Colby meant in his note by American rights and privileges If he meant the rights and privileges involved the control cer- tain of the weaker nations such the peace treaty conferred upon it's participants, the Plain Dealer is right We have no such rights and privileges. We have plainly dsavowed them. And if Mir Colby in the British note meant to assert them he has read the recent presidential election to purpose The United States have no part in the Plain ealer-Colby controversy. Let the Plain Dealer level it's criticism the secretary alone The United states holds itself no more responsible for such an assertion of rights and privileges by Mr. Colby than it did for Mr. Wilson's part in inc preparation of the treaty
 Hut we do mot understand Mr. Coiby's meaning Go loo am assertion of any political rights and priyi-
 I"ecs but claim of rights and privileges our cit

The Helping Hand

In its most recent statement on business ditions tho National City Bank of New York gives the greater part it's vouminous space to the case of the farmer presumably it is better under stood that he is the foundation on which the economic structure rests. Though the prices of his products have fallen is reminded that they have not yet touched the bottom of former years. It is less than twenty-five years says the statement, since wheat sold in Chicago under 60 cents and sold in Iowa at 15 cents a bushel There alarm and agitation then by the people who thought that unless something was at Washington everything would go to ruin. The real danger such time that something would be done that would interfere with the workings of the natural economic law and pre- vent the setting of things right
 That was dark period for the farmer for there was one condition then with which he has not been faced in recent years and which he will never have to face again: Business was then closely welded together as it has since become. Each was for itself The farmer stood alone. His fate an individual one which concerned nobody but him self The banks took little notice him in his need in that hour he had ceased to be asset in the community. If he to be saved it would have to be by his unaided effort. And yet, the farmer pulled through.
 Now his situation is a different Not only is the class to which he belongs better organized but other classes have clearer idea his relation
  and they are reaching out helping hands. That has been made evident in the generous bank loans which been extended in nearly all communities to the limits of the banks ability.
 Now. too. the wisest financiers and the abes statesmen trying to find what they can for the farmer in his present predicament without disastrous interference with the general order of things, and that a way will be found is not to be doubted
 But in those dark days of a quarter of century ago the farmer emerged from his vicssudes without such adventious aid is reaching today, for says the statement
 The farmer who went with his business
 usual diversifying his crops and getting the
 largest yield he knew how to- has always found
 that the markets back to him and the
 average gave fair reward for his abors. On
 the other hand the man who changes his policies
 with view to influencing world markets is likely
 to find when prices right that he has little
 sell. The steady going man-o e-job, who
 depends the law of averages, comes out ahead.
 The laws of averages" is sometimes enormously confounded with the law chances" that neither of them be controlled by human foresight. But they quite different The law of averages ope- rates the advantage of those try help them selves it's operation may be expedited by proper, not radical unstuded legislation governmental assistance and that is what is being considered.
