n fe charged over and above the
cost of prouc tion and delivery, fol-
cw,ng in this respect the Anti -Usury
Laws, which dete. mine and restrict
the rate of interest which money
lenders are allowed to charge as a
fair return.
In order TO insure that the coal is
mined economically and in accord
ance with the immutable laws of
nature, that is to say, from the mines
which will produce it at the lowest
cost, the productive capacity of the
mines themselves must be standard
ized, and this is one Of the first
steps which must be taken in order
to solve our present problem. In
other words, the coal industry must
be purged of the unproductive and
expensive mines which are now being
artificially protected; and insofar as
these mines represent an excess pro-
duction over the total consumption
they must be closed down until the
cheaper mines are exhausted. This,
as l have said, will necessitate in
vestigation of the mines from the
standpoint of their productive capa-
city and standardization which will
separate the usable mines from the
unusable mines, at least until the
usable mines are exhausted. Once
the mines are standardized, the price
Of labor fixed, based upon the cost OF
living, the efficiency Of the miners
insured by establishing proper living
conditions, and the proper legislation
enacted restricting the maximum
percentage of profit, we will have a
practical basis upon which the coal
business may be conducted with sat
isfaction to the operatives, a fair
profit to the operators, and with the
assurance that the consuming public
will be able to buy its coal at normal
prices.
My next and final article on this
subject will consist of summary of
the preceding articles and will in
clude definite statment of (1) the
fundamental conditions which it is
necessary for US to recognize; ant
(2) the steps that must be taken ir
order to reorganize the coal industr!

THE COUNTRY COUSIN

The College Commencement Play
this year is another of the Harrington
comedies and as might be guessed
from its title, 'The Country Cousin,
deals with small town life in the
middle west. Although replete with
humorous situations, the play has a
few moments of tense drama and an
underlying note of seriousness. The
cast is hard at work under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Katharyn Damson and
dress rehearsals will begin soon.
"The Country Cousin" was the out
standing success of the season when
produced at the Gaiety Theatre of
New York. 1t will be presented at
the College Auditorium on Tuesday
evening, June 9Th.

INCONTROvERTIBLE FACT

eff the government in time of war
can withdraw from three to four mil
lion men from normal productive in
dustry and employ them in the con-
sumption and destruction of wealth,
then the people still acting through
their government, can remobilize' as
many of these men as have not been
absorbed in private industry and any
who have since become unemployed
and place them at work either pro-
ducing the things which they them
selves consume or in creating public
works.
Poverty in the midst of the mex
haustible resources and with the un-
impaired labor and financial strength
of such a country as the United
States is not only a disgrace to the
nation, but an indictment of the in
telligence of it's people, and contrary
to the ethics of it's religion"

HOSE TEAMS MAKE GOOD RUNS

HOSE TEAMS MAKE GOOD RUNS
lGunnison Empire.
Sunday afternoon four hose teams
made prize run from the hose house
to La Veta Hotel for a prize dinner
offered by Chief Brewer to the win
ner. .Q.s& 81.
The first team made, the distance
and threw water in one minute and
forty seconds The, second, in one
thirty and one fifth; the third in one
thirty-two and one-fifth; and the last
in one thirty fiat. ef
The first team, ,captained by Geo.
sAspey, who by-the-way was absent
and whose place was filled by w. T.
Hartman, met with two delays, one
at the plug and also by the nozzle
men. But for this their time would
have been much better.
Lilbern Lashbrook's team made a
fine run and quick work at the plug
and the nozzle, but evidently the
driving was not quite SO fast as the

barely two seconds behind and it was
bard to say where the time was lost
as every motion seemed perfect. The
Gavette team ran and worked in al
most faultless manner. There was a
delay in the water coming of at least
two seconds though, and interested
observers believe they could reduce
their time by about that amount.
The course is six blocks, starting
from inside the hose house and with
two right angle turns, ending in front
Of the Empire office. All the runs
were good and give evidence that
Gunnison has good fire teams who
may be relied on to render real SER

their proficiency, as he has right to

"The telegraphers. who nupber

WATER RATES REDUCED; TINGLEY
Fathers "CUT" But HE did NOT
find OUT If IT WAS WARRANTED
Swope, Walton and Tingley Pass Resolution,
But Admit They Do Not Know Condition of
Water Department Funds; We'll and Hughes
Urge Consideration of Reports.

Commissioner Swope declared
that he knew about the affairs OF
the department, but when he at
tempted to explain them, failed to
do so and admitted that he had
made no investigation. He ex-
pressed his opinion, however, that
such q cut could he made.
Commissioner We'll then stated
that he favored as large a cut as
could be made and suggested that
careful investigation might re-
suit in finding that n larger cur
than the one proposed by Commits
sioner Tingley could be made with
safety to the department. He
stated that Former City Manager
A. 3. Hebenstreit had compiled
complete set of data covering such
a problem and suggested that the
resolution be tabled until next
week when the commission could
vote better upon it with the spe-
cific data covering the water de-
partment before it.
On the vote to table Commission
ers Hughes and We'll voted for the
motion, Commissioners Tingley
and Swope voting not to table II.
Chairman Walton east the decid-
ing vote and the resolution was
not tabled.
Upon a vote to adopt the resolu-
tion providing for the cuts in rates
Commissioner We'll and Hughes
voted against II, explaining their
votes by declaring they favored a
cut in rates, a larger one than
proposed in case the department
was in such condition that a cut
could be made.
Commissioners Tingley and
Swope voted for the resolution
Commissioner Swope explaining his
vote by declaring that he had made
a careful investigation into the
matter and that he believed such q
cut was possible at this time
Chairman Walton cast the deciding
vote, passing the resolution with
out comment.
