THAT SPIRITED ROW OVER A BRIDGE

Tho sovereign commonwealth Of New Jersey and the equally sov- ereign commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania have been having a pretty row on their hands, and all because the worlds largest bridge Is under construction between Camden. N. J., and Philadelphia Pa. The two states agreed upon the bridge and the method of Financing it, but now that the bridge is about three quarters finished Pennsylvania wants it to be toIl-free, while New Jersey wants tolls charged to cross it. The governor of each state IS declaiming that the other is trying to bulldoze if,
 The disputation would not be serious were it not for the fact that the embattlcd politicians may not complete the bridge If they cannot agree upon the tolls. Only yester- day New Jersey decided not tto award any more contracts for com plction of the structure until its claims were met by Pennsylvania.
 So far as the public is concerned it would prefer a toll-free bridge Yet the bridge bonds have got te be paid for and in the long run the public will pay the bills, whether this is done through tolls inflicted upon those crossing it or through taxes.
 Pennsylvania evidently wants g toll-frce bridge because moro Key stone staters would cross it.
 New Jersey, by the way, today i' enmeshcd in more public works ol costly character than any othel state of its size and wealth. In ad' dition 10 the bridge undcr construc' ton at Camden it is party to the construction Of the ychicular tun' nol under the Hudson river at Jer' say City. The state, in addition tc sharing the costs of the tube. |: forced 10 buy expensive parcels o' realty to provide room for the Jer' soy approach, The state will alsc have to share the cost Of bridge across the Hudson from New York
 To be a politician in New Jersey requires the ability to tell the peo' pie where the money for these pub lie improvements Is coming from and proving to the people that they will greatly benefit thsrefrom. II was a hard job for a long time, a' many people in Jersey have held that the harder it vas to get out

THE FARM CYCLE AND PROSPERITY

Farming conditions throughout the country having been declared as promising" by the Department of Agriculture, there Is nothing to do but to expect the reigning pros perity in the hinterland to con- tinue. It appears that a lesser wheat yield means a higher price for the product: the price has been around thirty cents more than last year,
 The only fly in the ointment, 1t appears. is that the higher price may stimulate the production of larger crops Of wheat next year, with the possibility of a resulting depression in the price. The de- partment reluctantly reports that farmers who do not seem satisfied to let well enough alone intend 10 increase the acreage of winter wheat by 4,Ooo,0oO acres over last year.
 When prices arc high the farm CTS like to plant lots of wheat; then when they produce lots of wheat the prices sag; and the fol- lowing year they produce less wheat, and the prices go up. Oc- casionally the weather intorferes with the carefully calculated cycle, and then nobody can tell what will happen.

Istration.


 It Is pointed out that President Coolidge backs Palmer in the con- troyersy. It Is to be hoped that the President does so with his eyes wide open, There are great many people in the country. irrespective of political alignments, who do not think highly of Pamer's admins trative record while a member of the governments personnel.
 The federal shipping fleet has presented problem ever since the close of the war. The government expended si.0OO,O0O,OOO for con- struction and maintenance of mer- chant ships since its entrance Into the late war. which in late years have cost the government sS6,0Oo,- 900 a year in excess of earnings -- and only q part of the fleet has been operated. Up 10 recently, when Henry Ford bought 200 vessels for the paltry sum of $1.7O6.o0o, the government had 500 ships laid up; it still has 300 tied together and useless,
 The suggestion was made at the close of the war to protect" the American merchant marine by per. hitting a lower duty on goods brought to this country in Ameri- can bottoms than when brought here in foreign bottoms, but the plan was cried down as tending to permit a lowered tariff wall and to encourage imports, We still have the tariff wall and the ships, and also the political jugglery that is a concomitant of their operation, such as are operated.

The Scotch in Him

Along our street there is a great number of dogs, They romp and squeal in the street and on all the lawns. And they are such fun that people continually throw out bones for them to cat. Each of the dogs, when he is through with bone. puts it away somewhere where he can find it later. But we have all ways noticed that there is one dog who scarcely takes a nibble at his bone, and who goes about search ing for some unfreauented place where he hides the bones far from sight.
 asked Mrs. Fuller across the street:
 What kind of g dog do you think that is? He always saves his bones and buries them safely"

FEDERAL CONTROL OF COAL INDUSTRY

John Hays Hammond Is no friend of the coal operators; or the unions, either: he merely takes the side of the public in the anthracite controversy which has reached the bi-annual strike stage
 Hammond, chairman of the Fed eral Coal Commission, and close adviser of President Coolidge, wants the anthracite mines placed under the control of the Interstate Commerce commission. The recom- mendation was made in the Coal Commission report and President Coolidge approved 1t at the time and suggested that Congress take action along that line. Since that time the President has not made an additional recommendation to that end, but the question is be- lieved likely to come before Con- gross this winter.
 The Coal Commission in sub stance. recommended continuous fact-hnding, publicity and regula- ton of the coal industry, both in the bituminous and anthracite fields, through the powers of the federal government over interstate commerce. The coal industry, the commission recommended, should report to public authority. Limita- lion on the rights of owners of coal lands, operators, mine workers carriers and dealers was advocated As federal bureau in connection with the I. c, C. was recommended as the administrative agency to control the coal industry, and it would be it's duty to correct abuses collect information and act in emergencies as q federal fuel dis {. tributor. It also recommended the issuance of federal licenses to those who buy or ship coal in interstate commerce, and the levying of a : federal tax on royalties and differ ential profits. The l. c. C. would re-examine diffcrential railro freight rates to promote coal move. ment by water and discourage long hauls by rail Also the adoption oi the standard uniform ton. At pres. cnt inc long ton of 2,24O pounds ]. and the short ton of 2,00O pounds . are used in tho coal industry.
 A host of other details to contro he coal industry was recommend. ed by the Commission. But Con- gress. being busy with politics, pait no heed 10 thc recommendations.
 If the present strike reaches { point where the public interest i' again violently endangered it k likely that Congress may fee warmer under its collective colal end actually do something abou the Commissions recommendations If t does both sides will have los the strike and many will concrud, the public won II.
