The state Legislature which, iiiys

prison camps as an outgrowth Of
the famous Martin Tabert casess
would have to enact legislation
multiplying its former action. Forces

mines AND MINING" IN NEBRASKA.

In the good old days, when Squatter Governor
Pearman power in the land, the list of COM
mttees of the Nebraska legislature had
'mines and mining" 1t had its purpose too. While
Nebraska had no mines, nor prospect of any, the
legislature usually contained few lonesome but
ornamental democrats. These had to have
thing to do, so they were grouped the committee
on mines and mining.
Longer than half century ago bonus was Of

Many attempts have been made to the reward
Many shafts, tunnels, adits and wines, to min

Many drill has been sent deep into the earth, but
nothing like 26inch vein of coal has been located
Now from Rulo comes the news that seam "a
inches thick is being worked there. carload of
coal has been "gophered' out. Hope is high that
the long sought mine has been discovered IL will
be welcome addition to the states resources II it
holds out The prospect of turning Nebraska's
wheels with Nebraska fuel Is auring.
Yet the report of the committee on mines and
mining the house in 1909 still holds the greatest
encouragement. Tn that it was set forth that Ne
braska mines millions OF pounds of things to eat
each year. That its soil is the source of endless
wealth, and It's sunshine makes possible bounteous
yield each year. Gold and silver into the state
in exchange for the products of the soil "Mines
and mining" in Nebraska may be figure of Speech
but the soil brings every year of material
wealth than the gold from all the mines in the world
amounts to in year.

NO NEED TO RUB IT IN.

Editor Thorpe of "The Nations Business shows
how the wheat growers of the United States lost
500, 100000 last seasons crop by listening to
the call of politics Senator Shipstead of Minnesota
warned the farmers that the advance in selling price

votes Wall Street back of the movement to
boost prices. The obviously smart thing for the
farmer to do to hurry his wheat to market, and
then vote for La Toilette.
Whether the second part of the suggestion was
carried out does not matter. The first part was.
Wheat was rushed to market Election came La
Toilette was beaten, and the price of wheat kept
right going up.
AS farmer, Shpstead is corking good dentist

is not the point. Wheat farmers long ago found out
all about the loss they had to take because of
keting their grain too early. Nothing is gained by
rubbing it in them now. In fact, some of them
they almost raw.
However, hope the farmer will to re-
gard himself more of business and less of

CASH CAPTURED FROM THE sMokEsTAcK.

One of the challenges to modern thought is the
of fuel In no other phase of industry is the
waste apparent and appalling One of the big
items in transportation cost is fuel More than 80
per cent of the money spent for fuel by the railroads
goes up the smokestack of the locomotive, unused.
Yet the railroad managers have succeeded in re-
capturing of the dollars that have been escap-
ing after fashion Among the economies prac-
ticed of late has been the conservation of fuel En-
ginemen and others have been trained in special
methods of handling trains and engines at the least
possible expenditure of fuel. One most gratifying
result is that in 1924 the fuel used by the loeomo-
tives of the United States was less than in 1923 by
319,S16 tons. To handle that amount of coal would
require 7108 cars, string 81 miles in length These
would make 142 trains Of 80 cars each.
In addition to this saving, the management is
studying other methods for cutting down the fuel
cost, to get more power out of the fuel consumed
For example, the Missouri Pacific line is trying out
three-cylinder locomotive. 1t has one passenger
and one freight engine using three instead of two
cylinders and expects to effect several notable
ings through using the device. Tests will tell but
the heads of the company are sanguine of the out
come.
Less money spent for coal means more money
available for other needs. Folks along the rightof-
way not the only ones who grumble about the
The man who directs the operation of the road also
worries about the smoke, for he knows it stands for
money he needs for other uses.

BUILD NEBRASKA BETTER.

The cosed-door conferences of the committee
that is handling the gasoline tax at Lincoln is indie
ative of symptom of Nebraska's present trouble.
With general agreement to the need of the tax
many ways of applying it have been suggested. With
that factor out of the way, the problem still is COM
plicated by divergent views as to how the money is
to be distributed.
Nebraska has builded we'll in the past Its present
is secure Only for the future is it necessary to plan
And plans for the future must comprehend larger,
q more populous and buster Nebraska than now ex-
ists Not larger in area, but in the that the
present area will be more efficiently used. Two
blades of grass to grow where grows now. Many
more tons of produce be carried over the high
ways. More and easier communication between the
communities of the state. A greater commerce be-
cause of greater production.
Unless a change is made in certain practices, this
vision of the future for Nebraska not be realized
The parochial system of administration must be
modified. Road Districts for example, have their
special problems, which deserve consideration and
must have solution Yet the district must be made
subsidiary to the state whole. If Nebraska is
to have a general highway system, that will
serve every portion of the state and every citizen,
then a start will have to be made somewhere.
It is of small interest whether this start be made
at Dakota City or at Holdrege, at Nebraska City
Chadron so long as it is made, and in the end leads
to unified system of good roads Some points must
come first, and some last, but the roads must be
built on a general plan that eventually will const-
tute system to the whole state. Piecemeal
haphazard building, regard for local interests will
not bring about the result aimed at.
The legislature Is perplexed by clash between
subdivisions. This should be dsregarded Legisla-
tors should awaken to the fact that the state is big
ger than any section. Centralize the roadbuilding
work. Put it under the governor and the state engi
neer, where it belongs. Give consideration to the
wel-digested plan evolved by the Good Roads
ciation Instead of trying to harmonic the conflict
that now going on the legislature should take the
bull by the horns, and plan to build better Ne
braska.
