Editorial Opinion
BONUS MEANS TAX ALTON.

From the n. Y. Journal of Commerce
Controversy about the soldiers
bonus seems to be almost immortal.
1t might have been expected that
when once the plan had been accept
ed by the Administration discussion
would have been laid to rest, the leg
islative leaders being contented with
the victory they had won.
Instead OF this, the old struggle Is
still raging around the question
whether Congress shall or shall not
make provision for paying the bonus.
Many legislators want to provide
the bonus by pretending to settle 1t
out of the interest on foreign debts
an imaginary source OF revenue.
They are not willing to take the
needful step OF providing new taxes
for the payment of the obligation.
Yet President Harding insists upon
such taxes, and seems, by implica-
tion, to threaten a veto IL they are
not included in the bill.
In some ways the policy advocated
by the President is the most effective
way Of opposing the bonus-laying
the responsibility for new taxes ex-
actly where it belongs. A vote for
the bonus must and should be
simultaneously vote for further
taxation. Congressman will natur-
ally hesitate somewhat as to how
they vote when such an alternative
is offered. The proposal is states
manlike and fair. II bonus hunters
have the votes to take money from
The Treasury, they must also use
their votes to put It back again.

 Washington. July 2a.-The United States will require at least a year to get back to normal conditions after the coal rike is settled. There will be. of necessity, some coal on hand from the moment the men get back into the mines. But the vari- ous governmental officials and agen- cies who deal with the national fuel problem very frankly state that tha effect of the strike will be felt Boiled down about what they believe will happen amounts to this:
 Things won't go back to their normal state-what they were before the strike-for year." said Francis R. Wadleigh, chief of the coal div1s ion of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic commerce, and member of the Presidents committee Tn charge of the distribution of coal. q don't mean that we could not get coal before that time. We couid and would get all the coal produced. of course. But production will not equal the demand for consumption and furnish a margin to build up stocks in less than year. in m. judgment.
 .sThere would be almost immedi- ate relief from the situation once the mining of coal were resumed. but the relief would be partial. Complete relief cannot be expected for months.
 The anthracite situation would be the last to experience complete re- lief and return to normal conditions. A shortage of anthracite this winter Is inevitable. Soft coal and oil will be substituted of necessity to help out.

 out to consumers for many months to come"
 Shortage of Anthracite
 Seventeen weeks of the coal strike have reeul+~d in shortage of not less than 30,000,0 900 tons of anthra- cite, according to figures of the United States geological survey. As the annual production of anthracite averages about 90,000,000 tons, the shortage to date is about one-third As time passes without a settlement, the shortage increases at the rate of about 1,S00,000 tor week
 The surveys report shows that more than three-fourths of all tue anthracite coal mined is used by householders. Production of anthra- cite Is confined to a small district n Pennsylvania, and because of phys ical and other difficulties it is found almost impossible to increa-e the ca- pacity ol -Iput to more than an occasional weekly production of 2,e60, 900 tons. The mines in normal times work almost to capacity ard all the coal is consumed.
 The bituminous situation is more hopesul. The rate of consumption of bituminous coal is about 5000, ,000 tons a week. Of this the non-unio' mines have been supplying an ave- age of about 100000 tons since the strike started, the remaining 4,000, 900 tons having been taken out of he grea stock pile. at present almost exhausted. of about .0.000,00r tens built up in April In anticipation Of the strike.
 When the union bituminous mines resume operations they can mIne coal 10 maximum weekly capacity of 13,25o,0 00e tons. That figure, con templates full car supply and all fields producing at top speed. l. has been reached only twice in the past five years. As the car supply is somewhat less than the capacity re- quirements of the mines, an output of 100000 tons weekly of bituminr ous coal. maintained during the ban ner producing months of the fall. would be regarded as excellent
 To meet industrial requirements. as the Presidents committee estimates them, the bltuminous mines must produce S.000.000 tons weekly plus about 15.000,o00 tons for the north west, which must move during the open season for navigation on the Great Lakes, plus sufficient to stock up industries and the railroads with at least 3o,000000 tons between now and cold weather.
 mus with top average of about ll,ooo,00O tons week, the bitumin- ous mines will face demand when they resume work which will be far beyond their powers .to satisfy ia.- mediately. Officials expect that coal consumers of all classes will flood the industry with orders. the total demand amounting to perhaps c0p.- 00V,o00 tons the day the miners 70 pack to work, In the scramble to get t'is coal. the government expects to direct distributon of soft coal almost certainly for six months. and probably for longer period.

while in others there was nothing
better than the plebeian sucker, but
in the pursuit OF all kinds OF fish
there was recreation which made the
prospect OF spring seeding more en-
joyable.
The methods employed in taking
these fish were crude but effective.
Angleworms instead OF flies were
used for trout, but it was the practice
to take the sucker either by snaring
or by using a three tined spear. The
snares were made from horsehair--
the long strands from the tail OF a
white or gray horse made the best
and the loop was passed over the
heads OF the phIegmatic fish as they
lay in the deeper pools OF the creeks
and rivers.

Explaining Earthquakes.

A distinguished English scientist,
DR.. JEANS of Cambridge University,
on whom the Royal Astronomical So
ciety's gold medal was recently con-
ferred, is of the opinion that before
reaching it's present spheroidal form
the earth had various shapes, some
of them verging on the grotesque. He
thinks, for instance. that at one time
our planet resembled an enormous
pear; that it was abdominally bulb
GUS, with a prodigiously long and
elastic neck. In those days, matter
of some millions or billions Of years
ago, the earth was molten mass re-
volving then as now on an axis. AT
the equator the pull of the sun lifted
an enormous tidal wave of the melted
matter. which became the constantly
stretching neck Of the earth pear, a
stretching which was only prelimi-
nary to ultimate severance OF the
mass from the mother body.
The severance came. A molten
mass was torn from the earth's flank
and sent flying 100000 miles into
space. There, or thereabouts, it was
checked in it's flight by the carth's
power of attraction and became the
entity in the suns large family Of
satellites known as the moon. Pro-
fessor PICKERING, the American as
tronomer, is of the opinion that the
scar left may be traced in the basin
OF the Pacific Ocean.
All of which is more or less ancient
astronomical history, this theory Of
the moons origin having been cnun-
ciated many years ago By Professor
GEORGE DARWIN, son of the pro-
FOUNDER of the theory Of evolution.
What brings DR.. JEANs's pear neck
theory into the zone of immediate
interest is the fact that another emil
nent scientist, Professor SoILAs,
traces geological connection be-
tween the tearing away OF the moon
from the earth and the earthquake
shocks whicn are freQuent In pre-
cisely those Pacific Ocean regions
where Professor PICKERING placed the
hole left by the moons violent sep.
aration from the earth.
Professor SoLLAs believes that the
earth is still getting rid Of ex-
crescences in a process of smoothing
itself down TO more balanced regu.
larity of surface. In other words,
earthquakes are in the nature of heal
ing processes following the major
surgical operation OF pulling the
carth's pear neck out by the roots and
making OF it that globular mass OF
volcanic Stag which lights up 50
beautifully as our own bright regent
OF the heavens.

Jofre Here Again.

1t is going on eight years since
General JoFFRE achieved worldwide
fame at the Marine. 1t is five years
since he came to the United States
as the head Of the French High Com
mission to confer with the American
Government on the conduct of the
war. 1t was in April that he ar
rived here before-just five years
ago to-day. Then he saw a people
busy with preparation for war. To-
day he will see a normal New York
which has put the war a good way
behind it and is engaged on the
business of peace.
1t must be treat to an old war
rior like Marshal JoFFRE, who is
threescore and ten, to travel in peace
full places. He saw nearly fifty years
Of war and its rumblings. He de-
Tended Paris in 1870, served France
in his middle life in her Eastern pos
sessions and was 62 when he stopped
VoN KLUcK. Soldiers wait till Fame
chooses to see them. GRANT, whom
JoFrRE is here to honor, was immortal
at 43.
New York will be glad to see tho
ruddy, kind faced Marshal now and
as often as he cares to visit us.
