It's a good thing the founders
of this nation had the CUTS to get
into politics and issue the Decl-
aration of independence and
give US the American Constitu-

giant bureaucracy or that they
would get severed at the umbili-
cal cord from a snap job.
Personally, | have written
many thousands of words, at a
loss of some good friends and
with negligible appreciation at
remuneration which wouldn't
pay car mileage, in saying what
| have said about stripping
operations for coal. We who see
this way, are not against strip
mine operating, but we know a
better job of reclaiming can be
done for some operators have
demonstrated that fact. We need
some teeth in present Reclama-
ton legislation which expert
ence has demonstrated to be
necessary. For instance, is Mr..
Blackburn aware of the fact
that, under present statutes, the
coal stripper is not compelled
to do anything to restore land
which is said to be toxic-or to
do anything towards leveling
down the hideous high wall?
Morgan and Noble counties
are underlain with Meigs Creek
or No. 8 vein of coal The Meigs
vein is found between an upper
and lower strata of limestone.
Spoil banks with this limestone
origin, are not so toxic and can
be easily sweetened and sown
down to the clovers. If properly
graded, mined-over areas can be
preserved for some future use.

20 per cent of the land will be

stripped and, assuming an addi-
tlonal 20 per cent is covered with
spoil banks, there will still be
90 per cent of the original soil.
What happens when the drag
line is moved into a mining
area? Roads are closed, lands
and buildings are sold and re-
moved, whole areas are de-
populated Of inhabitants, many
of whom express a hope they
may move to a section which
will never again threaten them
with the vast Wreckage of strip
mine ruins. Would Mr.. Black
burn live ON any farm which
has been 40 per cent wrecked in
Brookfield township? Does he
believe that anyone for the next
hundred years, will ever build
in the Godforsaken ruins of
toxic spoil banks and stagnant
ponds of sulphur water, left by
the drag line-that is unless
good job of reclaiming is done
after the coal is removed. And
why should not the land be
leveled down by the same huge
machines which disembowel the
earth in uncovering the coal?
"He speaks of the coal COM
panies paying 500 per acre for
much land whose surface is
worthless. Even so, for their
purpose, this is a song. That $l00
is a so cents dollar. Now, let US
see what they get for that Sl00
per acre. Over here, our Meigs
Creek vein is four feet in thick
ness. That means roughly a yield
of 5000 tons of coal per acre.
If one-fifth of the acre is pro-
ductive, that would be 1900 tons
for which the farmer and land
owner would be paid on royal
ty basis 8 and 1s cents per acre.
Compare that with the Accents
a ton royalty which deep coal
miners receive for their welfare
fund alone.
"As a friend of the land and
one sickened and saddened at
the reckless and hideous destruc-
ton of thousands of acres of our
most fertile limestone hills in
Southeastern Ohio, much of it
potentially valuable as grazing
farm lands, we ask you in Noble
county to join us in demanding
that the coal companies (not all
of them, for some of them lean
over backwards in doing a good
job and more than the law re-
quires), live up to the law. We
ask you to demand of your state
representative that he stand by
and fight for more teeth is re-
clamation laws, some of whose
weak places we have noted
above. We ask you to demand of
the governor, who is elected
this fall, how he stands on de-
manding strict enforcement of
the laws of reclamation-for any
laws, no matter how commend
able it may be, is worthless
without enforcement. We ask
you to stand behind Floyd Zaler,
chief enforcement officer Of the
Reclamation Department and to
insist that he bring the Coal
Shippers" up to the law. Zaler
has a hard job and has been the
Target of much unfair criticism,
most of which is wholly unjusti-
fled

have also been slightly
amused at the alibi in which
federal job holders in the soils
service explain their neglect to
say anything critical of strip
mining but apparently seek to
divert attention through the
red herring method Of talking
about soils erosion, farm ponds,
etc They mustn't get into poll
tics. Dear, no. Regulation of
strip mining is a state job, etc,
over which the federal govern
ment has no jurisdiction. Ger
tainly, to say the least, an ano~
malouS situation. The govern
ment spends billions of dollars
to build dams and reclaim arid
wastes through irrigation. 1t
spends additional billions to pay
the farmers for lime and fertiliz-
er, and in building up worn-out
soils. But nothing must be said
about turning the good earth
topsy-turvy and replacing the
top soil which required hundreds
of years to make, with a mass of
toxic Sub-soil much of which
can never be reclaimed. They
