are involved than are stated by the
Attorney General.
Of course there have been instances
when the Washington Government
has used the 'Ebig stick" in dealing
with coal mining conditions, but that
usually has been when a coal shortage
threatened the country. With sum-
mer coming on the public interest in
the well-nigh perpetual strikes is far
from acute; and the great public"
likely figures it out that the annual
row will be over before it comes
time to start the furnaces next fall.
Students of the situation that ex-
lists in the coal fields are always
greatly concerned by these ever-re-
curing strikes, and they point to
the stories related in the official re-
ports referred to above as conclusive
evidence that there is an un-American
condition governing living conditions
and employment in the coal mining
regions, which does not seem to i'm
prove with time. They insist that
the public interest in the situation is
so much greater than the interests
of coal mine owners and operatives
that it is high time that construc-
tive plan should be worked out by
Government and the States where the
coal mining industry might be C ar
ried on in way that compares with
the Responsibility and fairness thae
exists in the other great industries of
the country. +

agricultural credits. Mr., Meyers
has very clear idea of the situation,
due to the fact that he has held the
for Uncle Sam in the
loaning of money for agricultural
purposes. His recent trip was made
at the suggestion of President Hard
ing. "a great change has been
wrought in six MONTHS" he says. II

business men and bankers-men who
are in a position to know the trend
of conditions-and find new spirit
am ong them" Mr.. Meyer declares
that the agricultural industries are
rapidly getting on their feet" and
he assumes this to mean that sound
business basis in in the offering.
A TARIFF BLOC
Twenty-Five Senators from agricul-
tural States have formed a tariff
bloc. It is composed of much the
same group that made the farm
bloc famous. The new tariff bill
has been on the skids for more than
year, and there has been good
deal of apprehension that it would
not be passed at this session. Presi-
dent Harding has been urging it, and
Republican leaders have been fight
ing hard for peace" within their own
ranks in order that they might get
a bill through. But they have not
been successful, and now, the farm
ers group is definitely pressing for
an "all-American tariff law in every
respect, including the adoption of
some form of American valuation"
BONUS ADVOCATES HAVE HOPES
Friends of the soldiers bonus bill
appear to be optimistic, and they as
sert that they have polled the Senate
and find that large majority of the
members are in favor Of passing the
bill at this session. There has been
considerable talk about opposition
from the taxpayers of the country,
but this has not materialized in an
"urge' to Senators to oppose the bill.
Chambers of Commerce throughout
the country are being importuned by
the opposition to the bonus to get
busy. Naturally the Senate is con-
corning itself about proposals for the
levy of special tax or taxes to raise
revenue to pay the bonus. The
House left this important feature of
the problem for the Senate to work
on; and as in so many previous in
stances the Upper body is anxious to
produce completed legislation out of
the hodge-podge that has been sent
over to it. But so far the Senate is
in the same fix as was the House, be-
cause it has not been able to evolve
a plan for raising the money. The
Senate does not regard the sales
tax with any more favor than that
scheme obtained in the House. And
the House wouldn't touch it with a
ten foot pole The former service
men who are following the situation
declare that there are not more than
fifteen votes in the State against the
bonus measure, and they say that if
the bill comes to a vote they will
win.

SHALL WE HAVE A
SHIP SUBSIDY?

Len OF QQIeH yeSIs hSo INC SOuH-
try was up in arms because an at
tempt was being made to get ship
subsidy law through Congress. "The
spoilers" or "the robbers of our ma
tural resources" were regarded as
petty grafters in comparison with
those who proposed ship subsidy.
But listen to what Chairman Lasker
of the Shipping Board has to say
about this question now. the Re-
publican Central West has joined with
the Democratic South in distaste and
revulsion against substituting our
shipping" he admits, but ''times have
changed" making it imperative that
members of Congress of both parties
join in the support of the ship sub
sidy plan. From statements of the
Shipping Board it appears that of
the LAP steel ships which the Go
vennment owns only 421 are used to
keep trade routes open. The other
ship idle, and we are told that in the
Hudson and other rivers that there
are "acres and acres of them looking
more like derelicts than potential car
go carriers" The Government is
losing more than $50,OU0,O0O year
by trying to provide the country with
a merchant marine, and there isn't
any question that what we "are max
ing a mess of it," Mr.. Lasker seeks
to explain: "The purpose of Govern
ment operation, as defined by law,
was to build up trade routes in order
that the Government ships might thus
be sold with established goodwill to
private owners" But with the de-
felt running SO heavily, and with an
ever increasing volume of critisism
against Government operation, Mr..
Lasker has injured President Hard
ing's Administration to get behind
him in urging the speedy unloading
of our ship-holdings. In order that
this may be accomplished it is done
quickly, otherwise "the fleet shall be
operated by the Government until it
is worn out, and thus assure the elm
nation of the American flag from
world commerce"

CONDITION AND ACREAGE
LOWEST ON RECORD

A reduction Of $4,000 acres in
winter wheat sown this autumn, and
one Of the lowest conditions on record
are announced in the December report
of The Division of Crop and Live Stock
Estimates and the Nebraska Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Rye acreage is
also reduced. Fam labor wages aver
age about the same as the previous
year.
Il is Estimated that 3,319,00 acres
were yown this fall, or 500 of last
years planted acreage. According to
revised estimates, a total Of 4,149,000
acres were sown q year ago Of which
3,942, 900 acres were left for harvest.
The acreage sown last autumn as we'll
the acreage harvested this year are
the highest on record. The present
marked reduction in acreage was due
to the exceedingly dry, u~nfavorable
autumn. The present crop is $780,
600 acres below that planted a year
ago, and 235, 900 acres below the five
year average Of harvested acreage.
The condition Of winter wheat is
500 as compared to 80 percent .
year ago, and the ten year average Of
1870. Fields that were plowed early
enough to alb orb some of the July
and August rainfall are in fairly good
condition but the later blowing which
comprises the great bulk Of the crop
is very favorable. With few excep-
tons there was insufficient moisture
to start the Wheat on late plowed
fields until November in the eastern
half Of the state and the general rain
over the entire state did not come un-
til the middle Of November. A. a re-
suit the crop has made very little
growth and some of it isn't above the
ground yet. It is extremely difficult
to predict with any degree of certainty
the outcome Of the present crop
due to the exceptional condition.
The reduction in acreage of rye i!
also estimated at 500 and the condi
ton, 1000. AS in the case Of wheat
the dry unfavorable autumn is respon
sible for the marked comparison t.
the usual.
It is estimated that 24% Of til
apple crop will be shipped out of t.,
county of production. Practically Is
% of the apple crop has moved t
date, nearly all Of which was shippe,
from the commercial apple countie
in southeastern Nebraska.
Yields of straw were light this year
