TIIE GUFFY coal bill passed in
= the closing days of the late con-
gress attempts to establish an MIRA
for the coal industry. A Is percent
tax is levied on all coal mined. 90
percent of this will be refunded to
mine owners obeying the provisions
of the law in regard to wages, hours
and working conditions and by gu
aranteeing collective bargaining.
The purpose of the law is to relieve
the condition of the miners, many
of whom receive but few months
work year and are unable to earn
living for themselves and FAM
lilies. The tax will of course raise
the price of coal. The possibility
that the increased price of coal as
q result of tax may cause users to
turn to oil or gas or other means of
heating, looms as one of the most
formidable obstacles to the success
of the plan, desirable as its pur-
pose may be.

What We Think
(By Frank Dixon)

I don't believe that people as a
rule, appreciate the blessings they
have. For instance don't think the
fellow who can eat wieners roasted
at night is at all properly apprecia-
tive of the superb digestive appara-
tus with which nature endowed
him. ~
I remember seeing at one time
statue of a girl which was label
ed health" She was beautiful
girl, the picture of Astounding
health.
If I were called upon to select an
emblem to typify health I would
select a stomach, a good healthy
stomach that had been tested for
vitality with cargo of roasted VIE
ners eaten at night I would know
that if it would pass this test there
would be nothing it could not
handle.
am not one of those who believe
that the earnings of the individual
would be limited to $4,000 or any
amount year. am not so sure the
county would be any better off If
this were done than it is under the
present arrangement with the sky
the limit.
I do not believe it is so much q
question of how much a man earns
as it is what he does with it after
he earns it.
A man might be limited to $4,000
and be less value to society than if
he earned a million and put it to
wise use.
A friend of mine was in business
in the town in which I live. He was
in line in which competition was
pretty stiff and he needed all the
business he could bet to keep things
going.
He paid his employees well, bet
ter than the income of the business
justified. The employees while they

WHAT WOULD INITIATION
Mean To YOU?
RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman, Sentinels of the
Republic

Are you fast on your financial
feet?
Did you make a fortune out of
the War?
Did you clean up during the
early Twenties by buying houses
cheap and selling them at a big
profit to families desperately in
need of homes?
Did you jump into the stock
market before the boom, then,
after cashing in, help the depres-
sion along by selling short back
in 80 and 81?
If so, Inf1ation's fine thing for
YOU. It offers the perfect break
for every INSCRIPTIONS Spectator
shrewd enough to make money
out of other peoples troubles.
BUT
If you carried a gun instead Of
a margin account in the hectic
years of IT and '18 -.
If you supported a family in
stead of a racing stable during
the postwar boom -.
IF you have tried to protect
that family with life insurance or
a savings account, or with the
fruits of honest toll at your job,
your farm or your business-then
Imitation is going to hurt.
The history of every nation
that has tried this financial leger-
demain shows that it penalties
the man who works and the man
who saves. In each instance the
costs of food and clothing and
shelter have mounted higher and
more swiftly than wages - and
the purchasing value Of savings
has shrunk.
. You've heard a lot about Infla-
ton during the past two years.
You're going to hear a lot more
about it, too. Unbalanced budgets,
reckless expenditures by govern
ment officials, mounting taxes
all, If continued, will make a real
imitation inevitable. Many believe
it is already in progress. -
The Smart Money Boys will
cheer it's coming. But the men
and the women who work and
earn and save will want to halt
it. How can they achieve their
purpose?
Well, one way is to turn to the
theorists who want to experiment
with your money and ask: what
would Initiation do to MET"
Another is to tell the politicians
that they must stop the orgy OF
waste whose inevitable end IS q
shattered credit and it's hopeless
stop-gap, Imitation.
The decision, as always, rests
with the people - if they will
exercise the power which the
founders of America won fol
them and the Constitution pre-.
serves.

brought into the institution because
of good will created by their OUT
side contacts.
After battling the game until he
became tired of it my friend one day
sold the business. The new owner
after few weeks let all the old help
go and secured new ones in their
places and the old help has had
little employment since.
The point I desire to make is that
the mistake the help made was in
thinking that their job ended with
the eight hours shown on the time
tickets. They had another duty,
that of creating good will and Gus
toners for the business, outside of
working hours. ~&=... @...- 49,.
Some of them have not been en-
ployed since and the sale took place
two years ago. have often wonder
ed whether 1t has ever dawned upon
them that they only rendered half
service and that perhaps had the
other half been given they would
still have their jobs.

IF I were working for man. I
would work for hirn--I would be for
him-I would talk up his business
and boost it to the skies-or I
would quit. I would guard his bust
ness as zea1ously as though it were
my own-because in way it would
be my own. would give my loyal
support always and I would not
split hairs on what the definition Of
full loyalty meant.

DEOPLE see that the number of
= families on relief remains at
nearly peak figures. They are begin
ming to count the coSt-10R billion
dollars spent on recovery and relief
in two ears-and are wondering
whether the money has been use
fully spent. They are disturbed over
the prospects of spending four bill
lion more in a year on hastily i'm
provised projects. They are con-
sidering how the bill is to be met,
what new taxes will be required, and
how the spending is to be stopped.
They have been disconnected by the
extent of the confessed failures
among the vast projects undertaken.
They have observed that the admin
istration has frequently marched up
the hill and then marched down
again onspicuousIy in the case of
the MIRA and the gold policy. So
they have begun to consider serious

temperament too quick on the trig-
ger; whether his judgment is de-

1T IS generally agreed that recov-

sources. The government is furn-

fine way until normal times return
and industry takes up the full load.
The situation may be likened to a

administers his medicine, but it is
nature, the patients constitution,
that finally restores him to health.
The doctor keeps things going until
