NO REDUCTION IN COAL PRICES

Persons who have been holding off, hoping
against hope that the price of coal would come
down and therefore have refused to have their
coal bins filed, now find the fall season about to
open with the price Of coal likely to be advanced
at any time. Whether or not such an advance
would be justified is not the question. The fact
IS, the coal barons have everything their own
way at present and while numerous investiga-
lions are going on, Just as they have been going
On for several years past, the people still have
to pay the price asked or go without.
The coming winter is not going to be the
easiest winter we have experienced, by any
means. Having such a mild winter last year,
chances are favorable for a more severe one this
year. Then, too. thousands of people are still
out Of work and many of them have about ex-
hausted their savings.
Coal is one of the essentials of living in this
climate and the man who has a bin to put it in
would do well to order at once and get in his
supply. If everyone waits until winter arrives
not only are prices going to be high, but there is
going to be a scarcity that will compel many to
go without or live on scant ~rations. Prospects
for a reduction in the price of coal at this time
of year are very bright.

TAXES ARE BOUND TO BE HIGH

1t is right that the public should demand
Of congress all possible effort to save in appro-
priations, especially appropriations for the army
and navy. Though much depends on the out
come of the disarmament conference, to estab-
lish the future military policy of the government,
there is a widespread feeling that congress could
safely go a good deal further than it has done
in pairing down the army and navy expenditures
without waiting for the end of the conference.
This is especially true of funds for new naval
construction.
In fairness to congress, however, and also for
their own future peace of mind, taxpayers should
not expect too much. By far the biggest part
Of current government expenses. amounting to
several billions a year. is practically fixed and
inevitable. 1t consists of war obligations that
have to be paid of funds for departmental ac-
tivities that have to be carried on. In such mat
tiers the chief requisite is efficiency of admins
tration. 1t is doubtful whether, barring wholly
irrational expenditures, congress can make a
saving of more than half a billion dollars a year.
That would be a good deal, but a small sum

OLD CROPS N NEW

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The little known

and that dependence upon foreign countries Tor
any kind Of foodstutfs may be minimized as Tar
as possible Exploration for plants and subse-
auent introduction of them into the united
States is almost continually going on.
The greatest amount of this work is for edlple
crop plants and trees, but at least one explofa-
lion was for furthering the development OF
chs trees, with a view to growing them
in some of Americas island possessions, in order
that the valuable oil, essential to the treatment
of leprosy, may be obtained from domestic

About sixteen miles from a
Diego is Tia Juana, in Lower Cali

BY the time you get within a thou
sand miles of San Diego, people be-
gin telling you about Tia Juana.
They tell you that you must not
fail to go there! or they tell you that
you must not go there on any &C
count. They tell you it is a place
of desperate wickedness.
They make you think that by the
time you are half a yard over the

| desperadoes and robbed and muir

men will WOO you as the sirens lured
Ulysses and that you will be power

They tell you about the stream of
intoxicants and about the bloodi-
ness CT the bull fights and the hor-
rcrs of the gambling dens.
