hints CONTROL
Of COAL MINES
MEASURE PROVIDES SEIZURE By
PRESIDENT AND GOVERN
MENT MINE OPERATIONS
Proposed Law Fixes Method of
Reim5ursing Owners; Declared
Sep In Direction of
Ownership

Washington.-The president of the
United States could seize and operate
the coal mines in case of natiJna
emergency under provisions OF bill
introduced in the =. nate Thursday.
Senator Erookhart, business man
and farmer from Iowa, is author OF
The measure and he believes it may
prevent future strikes in the perturD-
ed coal industry and safeguard the
/ public from. a repetition Of existing
| conditions.
The bill also is the first thrust OF
those in congr, IS who believe govern
ment operation of tie mines is the
only feasible solution of present L.ifi-
culties.
Three features dominate the Brook
hart bill:
l. The national emergency could be
declared by the presid Mt at any time
he believes the supply Of coal is not
adequate to meet national mes DIS.
2 The coal operators would be
paid a just compensation for opera
ton OF the mines which could not eX-
&C. the net earnings for the seizure
period.
3. Earnings made by the govern
ment above that compensation would
go into a federal control fun0' in the
trc asury department and owners
would be restricted in making Gains
against the government
In case any dispute should arise be-
tween the government and the own
ers Of the amount t. be paid fer gov
eminent operation, the. matter would
be left to thu federal trade comm-s-
sion. If the commission estimate
should be disputed the operator would
be paid rs per cent of the amount fX-
eo' and would BE- authorized to bring
suit in the federal courts for the re-
of the sum he demands.
The bill is the result of careful
study by Brookhart, who believes it
ronclad. The president is authorized
to carry out all contracts made by the
operators prior to government SCI
zure; he can instruct the interstate |
commerce commi sion to issue embar-
roes he can fix the salaries Of lab
)rers who work the minTs under gov
,rnment control; he can turn the
n;nes at any time he deems apropri-
tie and he can individually settle all
financial and economical affairs con-
lected with the seizure and op ration.
Brookhart says he VIII press for
ction on the bill at this session OF
ongress.

Dear Miss RTooks:
| I have been very interested in read
ing your corner Just Between You and
Me-" and wish to ask you a few ques-
tions. I sure hope you viii answer
them for me, and thank you In advance.
Cd I have been visiting and have met
real nice young man and have gone
steady with him. He sure thinks a
lot of me and | do of him. ! fell in
love with him from the very first and
he did with me- The girl he went with
before 7 met him has been away. She
has Just returned again and is only
going to stay couple of weeks. Last
night he brought her home from the
dance. His hoy friend told me he loved
me more than he did her. Do you
think he does? During the whole time
we have gone together he has talked of
marriage. Night before last he told
me he would marry ms Do you think
we viii ever get married? I love him
enough to marry him. II he goes steady
with this other girl during her short
stay and after she Is gone he comes
hack to me. would you go with him?
NV folks are all the time telling me
they viii he glad when 7 get married
am ~ now. DO you think 1t would he
hest for me to get married and marry
the young man am referring to?
BLONDE. Utah.
Your questions are hard ones to put
TO anyone. for advising a girl to marry
or not to marry is rather a hard prop |
osition. when one is not acquainted with
any of the parties. AS to whether you
will marry him or not. of course rests
entirely with you. Are you sure you
know what love Is? WHY do your par
ents wish Won TO get ma rried? 1t would
seem much better to wait few wears
more. as you are quite Young to marry.
It would seem that II this young man
thought more of you than anyone else
land he surely should If he has asked
YOU to marry HIND he would not leave
Won entirely and snend his time with
this other girl. Now. dear. you will
lave to decide this question Yourself.
but 7 certainly would not advise you
N r~arrv anvone. just to get married.
You can marry anv time. but after YOU
ire onre married 1t Is for long time
,r should he.

quite attentive to me. bnt at other
times she is Indifferent Her parents
are very strict, and forbid her to re-

friend TOOTS OF UTAH
No. dear. unreservedly take the
stand that 1t Is not proper for young
girls of sixteen, (under or over a few
years) to go unchaperoned to anv pub
lie place of entertainment. While this
form Of etiquette is not generally OBJ
served In our western states II is new
ertheless a breach of good form to
neglect II. II parents were more care
full In this respect there would be less
cause for regret later on, am quite
sure. This is not precaution taken
because they question the boys and
girls ability or willingness to conduct
themselves properly. hut Is simply a
matter of good breeding. and indicates
thought and care on the part of the
parents. For illustration. have you not
noticed that the little children whose
parents seldom trouble themselves
about where they are. what they are
doing. who they are with. and who are
allowed to go about at all hours of the
day (and oftentimes night develop
rough ways and manners unloving and
unlovable dispositions, and are treated
by everyone carelessly and indinerentlv
because in the home, where the foun-
dalton and basis of training and CHAR

seems to be Indifference. and this rad
