Operator Says Walkout Would Cut Output 50 Per Cent.

New York, Feb. IA coal strike at the termination of the existing con- tract between operators and miners on March 31 would have no imme- diate effect on the nation. according to Thomas H. Watkins. president Of the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Cor poration and regarded as one of the best informed operators in the bi- luminous coal industry.
 Asked today how the production of the country would be affected .n the event of a strike, he answered.:
 Tn some districts not at all. In the non-union districts a substantial increase in production would follow a strike in the union field and the production of the country as whole would be cut from 40 to 50 per cent.
 There would be no immediate ef- feet. as the. stocks in hands of con- sumers cover at least 90 days supply

soft coal miners expires on March 31 have not yet been formulated. but presumably will ask for rate of wages that will allow the meeting of competitor from the non-union oper- ations" Watkins continued.
 ssCannot Safely Ignore"
 'sThe union operator is controlled by general economic and competitive conditions and cannot safely ignore the laws of supply and demand, either in the labor or commodity markets
 The non-union mines of the coun- try are producing an increasingly large percentage of the total coal out put, according to Watkins.
 For instance, in Pennsylvania for the year 1921 the production of the union mines fell to about 43 per cent of the total production, while in 1920 it was 54 per cent of the total" he said.
 The variations between the union miners wage scale and that of the non-union miners run from 30 to 50 cordig to Watkins.

Restless. irritable, nervous, excit- able and exacting is the charge against her by those nearest and dearest. How little they realize the struggle the overworked wife and mother is making to keep about and perform the hundred and one duties that devolve upon heri Every hour her headaches. backaches and pains drag her down until she can stand it no longer. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound has restored more women in this condition to health and happiness than any other medicine. The grateful letters we are continual ly publishing in this paper from wo- men who have found health by its use prove it.-Adv.

attention to the fact that there has

C. S. Webster, treasurer of the Bar

1t seems that the slight tendency
to revolt at certain tendencies of the
medical profession, and especially to
the workings of the state board of
health in Vermont, has taken root in
the profession itself which resulted in
a warm discussion at a recent meet
ing of physicians, one faction deplor-
ing the tendency toward paternalism
while the other faction upheld the
idea. This paternal tendency of the
government, and especially that
branch of the government which has
to do with the medical profession,
seems to have reached the breaking
point, and one Of the spots where mat
tiers have gone too far is the social
ed maternity bill in Washington.
There is bound to be reaction from
such sort of legislation.

ry out certain plans which were made
many years ago-that of laying out
a complete system of state highways
looks to us under present business
conditions as unusually absurd.
When the original layout, or So
called comprehensive system, of state
highways in Massachusetts was con-
ceived, the cost of building these
highways was approximately $4,000
per mile, and had the cost of con-
struction remained at approximately
that figure, the present registration
fees of automobiles would doubtless
have brought in enough money to
carry out that plan. But conditions
have changed and the business men
of today are not making so much
money as they were 10 or IL years
ago, while at the same time the cost
of construction has increased by ap-
proximately 800 per CENT, so that in
stead of adhering to a plan which no
longer is feasible, we would expect
the Commissioner of Public Works to
devise some other plan rather than
to maintain that he is duty bound to
carry out plan which conditions
have made impracticable.
Let US spend the money we are
now paying to keep up our present
highway system. Let well enough
alone, and stop building new roads,
for the present at least, at $4,000
per mile.

adequate equipment, more cheerful
decoration are, together, almost as
essential as high-grade teachers in
building up school is a recognized
fact at the present time. A teacher
of fine mentality is, of course, the
great asset of a school but even Civ
en- teacher of such stamp school
does not9reach its highest possibili-
ties unless the instruction from that
teacher is given in schoolhouse that
is comfortably and attractively ar
ranged. That is why more stress is
being laid today on the physical sur
roundings of school buildings, inside
and out.
But it is impossible to lay too much
stress on those features, as one would
judge by perusal Of an article in the
most recent number of the Ladies
Home Journal, in which the writer
condemns Vermont's rural schools
and declares that they are second on
ly to Kentucky's in bad features. In
order to prove his contention, the
writer of the article picks out town
in county sparsely populated and
having the serious problems that
come to any town having restricted
population. The writer of the arti-
Gle found that in one school stove
was in use which was in use there
nearly sixty years ago and that the
schoolhouse was not sufficiently heat
ed, and that in connection with
another school there was an clubhouse
which had not been given attention
for four years; furthermore that
there was lack of the inspiration
which comes from flowers, in the
schoolroom. 1t is no doubt true that
those conditions were as represented;
but those conditions in a sparsely
evidence that Vermont's rural school
system is going to the dogs and that
the children are being treated inhun-
anely.> The trend of public opinion in
Vermont for the last two decades has
been toward improved conditions in
the public schools, and if some scat
tered sections are tagging behind the
movement for betterment it is not
proof that the entire system of ru-
raj schools is to be condemned, lock,
stock and barrel, so to speak.
The evidence furnished by the lit
tie changes in the Burke Hollow
school, as above noted, goes to show
that there is a spirit of progress in
the back schools of the state; and
those evidences should be weighed in
forming an opinion whether the en-
tire rural school system is going
downhill. Wholesale condemnation
is to be resented because it is not
based on thorough knowledge of con-
ditions over the whole state.

Income tax returns are quite IN
fashion now, and there will be more
returns than ever filed because any
one having a gross income of $4,000
or over, whether his profits are
enough to require tax or not, must
make a return before March Is, for
the year 1921. Many farmers and
many small business men who have
not heretofore been required to make
returns are now found among those
who must struggle with the intrica-
cies of an income tax return blank

Some of the newspapers of the state
are crying for a bill of particulars
where state expenses can be cut. Just
as starter here are few shots
abolish the. county school superin-
tendents and the county road COM
missioners. Neither have sworn the
taxpayers that their services are
worth what they are getting. Dis
continue putting the session laws out
in pamphlet form in the newspapers
and stop furnishing the members of
the legislature with free copies of the
taxpayers. Then take Secretary of
State Blacks automobile and sell it.
The cost of gas, oil and chauffeur is
more for year than this car is
worth. On these items this paper
does not believe the state is getting
