SENATOR ELKINS IN
DENUNCIATION OF
CALDER COAL BILL
BY CHARLES RRooKs SMITH.

Washington, d. c.. FEB. l.-One OF
the undoubted causes for the Toters
OF the country turning en- masse to the
Republican party last November was
that they were heartily sick and tired
OF the intrusion Of the government into
private business" declared Senator
Davis Elkins. of West Virginia,ln an in
terview given to the press today
He continued:
The government had tried its hand
along these lines with resulting disas-
trous failure. From virtual ownership
OF railroads running war-workers' hotels
in Washington, the result was tn same
--dislocation of business, stupendous
waste and economic chaos. The people
turned 10 the Republican party for re-
lief. expecting and demanding an end
Of socialistic and paternalistic adventure
on the part OF the federal government as
exemplifed in the sovereign states. They
wanted to get back TO 'narmalcy.
The Peoples Verdict.
1T Is hoped that the congress elected
last November will understand that
that is what should be read from the
verdict OF the voters. This expiring
congress apparently places no such In
depreciation upon the election returns,
There Is the evidence Of 1t in the pas
sage by the senate OF the socalied
packers bill. and OF the apparent en-
cited haste TO shove through the Calder
coal control bill. The packers bill Is
70 give live stock raiscrs better prices
wholesale and retail meat dealers lower
prices and higher profits. and the uiti-
mate consumer cheaper prices. All tnTce
OF these interests clamored for, :he la"
with cheaper prices. All three OF these
interests clamored for the law win
n faith as It was absurdly impracticaole.
No such CONFLICT as this can produce IN
outcome hoped for by its advocates.
Sees SoctaMstic Mania
The same applies to the coal industry
the bItuminous part OF which deem
myself thoroughly familiar with. AFTER
meat and coal, IL is evidently the plan
OF many to force the government ihto
the clothing. shoe and other lines Oh
business which private enterprise mas
developed to the nth degree OF efficiency
pccentralizing industry and CentraIizinS
government at Washington has become
q mania with many people. whose ul'i-
mate goal Is apparently government
ownership and control OF all private
business and enterprise. but lhtE "'o
not the great mass OF the American
neople by any manner of means. Inc
great mass Of the American people
spoke in no whispering and uncertain
tones their opposition 10 this form or
mania at the polls.
IT voted against the packers Dill ana
expect 10 vote against the Calder OH
and all legislative propositions OF that
variety. It is time We start on inc
work OF fulfilling Senator Harding )
promise to the country to return 10
normalcy' The country's hope for
realization Of that pledge rests win
congress which was elected on the
strength Of It. and 1t Is fortunate lha'
/, Is so soon TO como into power. Tor the
present congress has. i'll my opinion
