THE TREASURY
INCOME SHORTAGE.

From the New York Herald.
Mr.. Gilbert, Under Secretary OF
the Treasury, says and says truly
that additional taxes at this time,
even to meet the Governments ex-
pected deficit. now estimated by him
at S672, 100000. would be nothing
less than a national calamity.
And yet after taxation there are
only three ways in which so stupen-
dous a shortage OF income can be
taken care of by the Government.
One is to cut expenditures; but when
the Government bills are so largely
made up of charges that cannot be

HENRY FoRD's COAL VIEWS

From the New York Herald.
Henry Ford, the automobile gen.
ius, may know a good deal about the
general aspects of the coal business
or he may not. His experience OF
shutting down his plants because OF
lack of fuel at a reasonable price
may have taught him how TO get
offers of coal or may have taught
coal producers the wisdom of offer
ing It to him. He burns many train
loads of coal and naturally would
take an interest in that feature OF
his manufacturing industry.
But when Mr.. Ford says. as quoted
in the news dispatches, that there is
vast surplus of mined and stored
coal in the country-"enough coal
above ground to run the country for
a long time"-he Is under a mis-
apprehension. Neither in the hands
of consumers nor in the hands Of
middlemen and producers is there
at present anywhere nearly enough
coal to go around. This is particu
larly true of hard coal, and this IS
not a question of opinion, It Is a
question of fact based on mine rec
ords. railroad shipping records and
Government statistics.
The coal that Mr.. Ford thinks was
hidden away by prohteerlng brokers
and other middlemen to force high
prices and "gouge the people" is not
where he thinks 1t is. for the simple
reason that it never has come out of
the ground.
Nevertheless. when Mr.. Ford ad-
vises the public Ito buy only enough
coal now to get along on, for they
win have an opportunity later to get
their winters supply much more
cheaply," he gives the consumers.
big and little, good counsel. That is
the very way to create the coal stocks
that do not now exist, although Mr..
Ford mistakenly thinks and mac
curately says they do exist.
II everybody will burn as little coal
as possible. especially anthracite, for
as long a time as possible the coun-
try can get through the winter with
out a fuel famine or without even a
tight pinch for fuel. But unless the
scant supply of to-day is carefully
husbanded everywhere for the next
several weeks, the vast coal surplus
which Mr.. Ford's Imagination pic
lures will be found to be woefully
lacking. and many persons will be
living in cold houses.

tate to demand they insisted upon
getting and they got. high wage in
creases based upon the heavy de-
mand for and the falling supply OF
labor.
The Government could and did
draft men to fight at the front on
the terms of the Government. The
Government did not draft men to
work in its shipyards, to I'll NUM-
ton plants, to build up and maintain
behind the fighting lines all the
things that were imperative to the
survival of the fighting lines and to
the safety of the country. The Gov
eminent bid in the open market for
its workers at rates that became in
many instances fabulous. So did
others who had to have labor at any
price.
And, OF course, the American
consumers had TO pay the economic
penalty of this bidding up of labor
costs of production. had to pay it
both in the high prices and in the
high taxes they had TO pay.
There is no occasion to take no.
tice here OF that part of the public
that criticized bitterly and still crit
icizes bitterly as "profiteers" those
workers that exacted the limit Of
pay, staying home in safety. while
the men who were in danger at the
front got only a nominal pay. There
is no need TO discuss here the rela-
tive merits of any kind OF boosted
value or price in time of war be-
cause OF limited supply. This isn't
the question now.
But It would not be to the inter
est OF workers in any field II when
good men were wanted for any work
and there were not enough of them
at hand to fill the demand the nat
ural laws did not and could not
work to increase the reward some
body was willing to give them for
their very much desired services.

NATIONWIDE STRIKE MENACE

From the st. Louis Times.
Localizing labor troubles promotes
Justice. while not disturbing every
Industry in the whole country. More
important than the quick settlement
of the present strike would be the
abandonment OF the nationwide
method.
Not the least of the bad features
Of the nationwide labor contest is
the natural effect that notoriety has
on spokesman OF various crafts. Men
arising 10 high position in a craft.
through labor politics. which is as
bad as any other kind in methods,
took personal pride in their new
prominence. They tried to save
their faces by getting something
they could call victory"
There is a growing suspicion as to
the results OF various referenda.
The taking of the vote is always
done by the labor machine in power.
1t is suspected that mere votes of
confidence are represented to the
outside world as specific demands
by the craftsmen. Some concessions,
made too quickly TO have been re-
ferred, support this suspicion.
The general public cannot afford
to have all its own interests ruined
by these nationwide strikes or
threats OF strikes. It is entirely too
expensive. Separate railways or
railway regions and separate mining
districts must find ways of settling
their own labor troubles.

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT

From the New York Times Annualist
What the public and the news
papers need to keep steadily in mind
is the fact that the shipments strike
Is a conspiracy to cause a nation
wide interference with Interstate
commerce; that such a conspiracy is
an offence not only against the Sher-
man Antitrust act and the Inter
state Commerce act; but that It is a
direct challenge to the right and
power Of the National Government
to protect the freedom and security
OF that commerce in the interest OF
the entire nation.
In substance. Mr.. Daugherty's ad-
dress to the court, in asking for the
temporary injunction, was right in
declaring that the present strike was
an attack on the sovereignty Of the
National Government, that It was
an attempt by labor union leaders to
override the Government, to the
harm Of the people as a whole. He
was right in declaring that the Gov
eminent must meet this challenge,
and that It could and would meet It

NO errors of manner in Mr..
Daugherty's speech. no earlier mud

attention from the main fact that
the President has at last done the
right and necessary thing. The
action at Chicago was necessary TO
the protection of the public right.
The public ought to fix Its eyes on
this fact. and stand by the Presi-
dent and his righteous defense Of
the people.

The second way is to borrow, and
this in itself calls for taxation both
to pay interest on the new debt and
to set up sinking fund reserves for
the ultimate extinguishment of the
debt.
The other way is to receive more
revenues through a general revival
of business, with corporations and
individuals correspondingly paying
more into the Treasury. not because
of new and more taxes but because
of new and more profits and in
comes paying their share under the
existing laws. Industry and business.
therefore, tend to pay less into the
Treasury under unreasonable taxes
than under reasonable taxes.
With a gap OF 1912. 100000 be-
tween outgo and income the Gov
eminent is in bad position-bad for
itself, bad for the country, bad for
everybody. But II the Government
can avoid more taxation at such a

quate revenues to pay its bills,

THE EMANCIPATED SALUTE.
From the New York Tribune.
The War Departments new regu-
latlon doing away with saluting in
public places while off duty will be
welcomed by nearly all former Of
ficers and doughboys who still main
tain an interest in the army's affairs
Few OF those who attended the
training camps or were drafted or
enlisted will forget the utter null
sance OF the old regulations requir-
ing saluting everywhere on all oc-
casions. Even those who were rigid
in their belief in the value of the
salute IN military intercourse felt
that Il was a mistake to make sa-
luting imperative when officers and
men were enjoying few hours
leave outside the limits of the. camp.
Visitors in the cities near the camps
on a Saturday or Sunday never fall
ed to be impressed with the absurd
spectacle OF a thousand doughboys
idllng up and down the main streets
in search OF recreation and forever
having to snap to attention and sa-
lutte officers who like themselves
were pleasure bent. Men and Of
hcers alike went through a stage of
followed by self-con-
and eliminating in bore
dom, and not a few either stayed
away from town or skunk around
back streets in order TO avoid inces-
SAINT saluting. 1t was only natural
that under the circumstances the
regulations were frequently disre-
garded and there grew up a school
boy attitude toward the whole prob
lem. To get away" with not sa-
luting was almost as great a sat
isfaction for many soldiers as It is
for many schoolboys to slip some
thing over" on the teacher. AS a
result the regulation tended to de-
feat its own purpose.
The salute has an important part !
In the military scheme. Within the |
or camp, or while on /
duty anywhere, its, use should be |
enforced. But there are no 1
valid reasons for insisting upon the |
same observance at other times and /
