i is serious and congress is consider
ing a tariff of two cents pound to
help protect American bean growers
against foreign competition. In the
house the other day Representative
Henry H. Osborne of California gave
the following facts, among others,
about bean production:
The European production prior to
the war was about 10O,0O0,000 bushels
annually. Asia produced between $780,
100000 and 200000,000 bushels per

produced much more. The real COM

annual estimates which have been
taken were more than million in ex-

THE COAL SITUATION

President Markham of the Illinois
Central has issued timely warning
to the public to lay in the seasons
supply of coal as early as possible
Production and consumption have fall
en- to low levels in recent months
due to high prices and mild winter
Coal prices will come down in the
future and both hard and soft coal
will during the next two years sell
much lower than at present. This will
follow the reduction Of freight rates
and wages. Freight rates will prob
ably not be lowered soon enough to
effect this seasons coal output. Wages
will be lowered and strikes and tie
up in production will probably follow.
That is why it is advisable to get
your coal in early.
A reduction in freight rates on coal
should be made at once in order to
lower the cost to the consumer. No
other one thing in our opinion con-
tributes more to !. the present high
cost OF living. The cost Of coal vi
tally effects the costs Of other COM
modities and of transportation, to say
nothing Of the effect upon the health
and comfort and upon the buying
power Of the public. 1t would be a
great public benefit If the Government
agencies functioned in such man
ner to give prompt relief but it prob
ably will not be brought about to
effect this years coal costs.

Secretary Melons suggestions on
tax revision strike popular cord.
He proposes modification of the in
come tax law and the repeal of the
so called luxury taxes and the tax on
soft drinks. He also favors cutting
down the expenditures of the govern

spending money at an appalling and
unnecessary rate and that the people
should not be taxed to keep 1t up.
His recommendations are sound and
just; the government can not expect
to spend money as in war times when

GERMANY GIVEN ULTIMATUM

The allied foreign ministers nave
delivered an ultimatum demanding
that Germany must give within u
days an unqualified answer-yes or
no-to the allied repaations demands,
or suffer the infliction OF military and
naval penalties already planned. II
is hoped that the haggling over de-
tails will soon be brought to an END.
The economic recovery of the whole
world depends in great measure up
on the speedy and favorable settle
ment OF the issue.
Germany must in the end agree
to pay the amount fixed in the first
instant. but there is difficulty promis-
ed in coming to an agreement as TO
the manner of payment. The issue OF
Preparations is essentially economic and
should not have been left in the hands
of British and French politicians for
settlement. 1t has given Germany a
chance to play to the liberal opinion
of the world against the extreme ex-
actions Of the French who Will be
satisfied with nothing short OF the
political and economic wreck OF Ger
many. 1t is mistake to assume that
Germany will have gone scot-free un-
less the demands of the allies are
accepted.
No other nation has even been SO
heavily penalized as Germany. She mas
already lost Alsace-Lorraine with It's
valuable mineral deposits; all OF her
colonies have been taken from her;
she has lost Danzig and large part
of west Prussia and also the northern
part Of Schleswig; the Saar valley
under the terms of the treaty was
taken from her for Is years; her mer-
chant marine has entirely disappear
ed from the seas as we'll as her navy,
and her army has been broken up.
The position of the United States
government has been made plain by
Secretary Hughes, which is that the
United States has no sympathy with
the extremists of either side and would
like to see an agreement reached as
soon as possible.

CYRENUs COLE FOR CONGRESS

The early resignation Of Congress
man Good of the Fifth district il
expected and Cyrenus Cole, editor
of the Cedar Rapids Republican, il
among the men mentioned for the
succession.
Mr.. Cole was a political reporter
and editorial writer for the Des
Moines Register before becoming
connected with the Republican over
twenty years ago and is one of the
best known and sablest newspaper
men in the state He devoted his
spare time for some years to the
preparation of a history of Iowa
which was recently published and
which reviewers have found very in
teresting. He served at republican
headquarters in Chicago in the last
presidential campaign.
On the score of party and public
service no man in the Fifth district
has claim to preferment which ex-
cells Mr.. Coles, but this is no indi-
cation whatever of how he would
fare in contest for the nominal
ton or the election. Party and
public honors as rule go to those
who have done the least to deserve
them. They are commonly be-
slowed for reasons apart from graft
tude for past services or considera-
ton of the public interest. The
man who is out in the open every
day for years expressing his opin-
ions on a great variety of public
matters is unlikely to create a fol-
lowing unless he breaches insurrec-
ton against party, property or class
or some accepted doctrine Of the
portion of society. Mr..
Cole has never given aid or COM
fort to the followers Of insurrec-
lions and isms. This should be
enough to beat him in a contest with
any fairly discreet politician bearing
the prestige that attaches to the
judicial ermine or to distinction
the members of a numerical
ly powerful class, race or fraternity.

Before Wilson was president the
great fortunes of the country were
hardly taxed at4all, but since the en-
actment of the income tax laws the
burdens of government have been
largely shifted from the shoulders Of
the consumers to the owners Of wealth.
But wealth is in the saddle again, and
proposes, by single tax, to again place
the burdens of government on the
shoulders of all consumers.

GREENLAND IS MOVING WEST
Danish Scientists Figure It Has Trav-
eIed s75 MiIez In 100000
Years.

penhagen.-Greenland is slowly
moving in westerly direction. Ac-
cOrding to observations made in 1907
by ]. P. Koch Of the Danish Mylius-
Erickson scientific expedition, Green
land was three minutes further west
than in 1870, when German expedi-
ton made astronomical observations.
In both instances the same northern
latitude was found. Therefore, Green
land moved west 1883 yards in 81
years.
The first observation of the longi-
tude of Greenland was made in 1923.
Comparing the findings in 1923 and
1870 one arrives at the conclusion
that Greenland wandered" ten yards
westerly every year. That tends to
show that Greenland and Norway,
now about S75 miles apart, once were
connected, the separation taking place
$4,000 or 100000 years ago.
