It will occupy a new place because it will readjust itself, but It has not done so yet and the con sequence of this condition is, in my opinion, coal mine labor is due for some very hard sledding in the next decade, notwithstanding the honeyed words of the politicians. • • • Now, to turn to the part that gov ernment plays in bringing about present conditions Blame j have attempted Demagoguee to show how greed on the part of both capital and labor was responsible in a measure for building up what amounts to ill-will among jnany - recent national po litical parties en gaged in a good deal of palaver about the coal in dustry. As usual, the politicians were patting toe miners on the back, telling them what wonderful assets to the nation they are, and carrying their demagoguery further by crit icism of the mine owners every now and then because it was popular with labor to attack employers. Altogeth er, it was a rather sorry spectacle and, I think, did not do credit to either side to any extent. But in this report, I want to stress a very much less obvious phase of the problem than was made coal consumers. But the industry it- apparent in any of the electioneer- self is not wholly responsible. In- ing. With all of the verbiage cast deed, I rather hold the opinion that aside, with all of the political hood- government is as much responsible winking forgotten, there is a very for conditions as the industry itself, deep and difficult problem in the and when I say government, I must coal industry. I think it can be sum- limit my reference to political dem- marized in one question: What is agogues. They always have been the future of coal, the coal industry, shortsighted and they are still short- and the thousands of men who know sighted. They have been and they no other source of livelihood than are now willing to sacrifice great that which they eke out in the masses of men and money for per- bowels of the earth? sonal political gain of an entirely This question, if proper analysis transitory character. | is made, encompasses more than I have said before in these coW the usual factors that operate in umns that the country is being sadly economics.

It takes more skill end more ability, it is being done every day. S PEAKING on the question,of trial marriages, a well known writer said, "There should be no need for trial when two people know their own abilities and have measured themselves accurately. Two people who understand them selves will never, I believe, have any difficulty living happily to gether after marriage.” That is a new slant on the ques tion of success in marriage, sup plements a woman writer of na tional fame. Not "Know thy hus- band” — or "wife,” but—‘‘kno thyself!” And, come to think of it, isn’t most of the discontent and dissat isfaction in marriage traceable to ideas of ourselves—that may be misconceptions^ no less than our illusions about toe other person? How many women’s dissatisfac tion with their husband has as its source the thought of all they gave up to marry him, all they "might hve had” if they had married a certain other man? How many women’s discontent with the role of wife and mother springs from the thought of how much more fascinating pastimes they might have had if they had followed that career? How many girl's impossible ex pectations of a fulltime lover and Prince Charming originates in an exaggerated notion of their own devastating beauty and charm?

The present question is whether our nation Is going to con tinue to expand public ownership in such a way as to nun an industry that is as much a part of our basic economic structure as any other unit of our natural Ufa. I think some times it goes beyond that for the reason that, unless people awaken to the fact that they are being hood winked to a considerable extent by pubUc ownership propaganda, it is likely to spread and public owner ship will become a frankenstein, a parasite on our body public. When I referred to the destruction of a great industry, I had in mind the thought that the consequences will run in two directions. Yet, para- doxicaUy as it may seem, they constitute a cycle. It works out like this: As the demand for coal de clines, it is quite natural that pro duction costs go up. When production costs go up, they eventually reach the point where a further diminu tion occurs in demand. When that decline in demand occurs, there is only one answer: Labor is thrown out of work because you cannot produce and have those products piled high in storage. It takes money to keep labor and machinery occu pied. The coal itself, after being removed from the mines, represents money and it is subject as well to deterioration. So, the ultimate to be expected on this side of the pic ture is an industry dying of dry rot. On toe other side of the problem is an equally important factor at work. It takes an immense amount of cap ital, massed in corporate form, to maintain a going concern whether that concern be coal mining, rail roading or any other of our great industries. These industries operate largely on funds obtained through the sale of stocks and bonds of the corporation. But it has always been true, and human nature shows no signs of changing, that capital is not attracted to, it does not seek investment in, a declining industry. There you have a possibility at least of insufficient funds to carry through for the coal mining industry until it itself to the new place taxpayers throughout the country will be peymg a bill and paying II id ever again, that causes me omplain It la not ao murk that Tennessee Valley Authority will never be economically operated or become aell sustaining that brings this outburst. It ts the fact that when a government, national, elate or local, leads the way ta this direc tion, II wields an tnffuence upon a certain percentage of our popula- Li*-o Since p-f*-**^ ownership advo cate*. ta many matanrea. plain ao- cialuen. where m control of them agencies such as TV A, II Is per fectly natural that they prment ta the taxpayers only the meet rosy aide of the story. They do not dte- cleee to the taxpayers the adverse, the costly aide, of the aitusthm. Na turally then, hundreds of thousands of people believe that government can do this sort of thing better than prtvata aniarpcias They b^ come convinced that private tnit>a~ live has been turned into a spigot H.rough which individual pc* kcl- books are drained. They do not real ize that their pocket books are being j drained much more heavily through public ownership by means of the taxes they take from you and ma and everyone else. That la the sad story, made srorae by the tact that through nearly four years the Wash- j ington government has been encour aging people to believe public own ership propaganda and distrust and destroy private investment. • • • Recent Treasury figures show that the Resettlement Administration has paid approximato- Expensive \j $27,750,000 of Dream its total appropri ation of $134,518,- 000 for administrative expenses. That is, the organization which is the pride and joy of Professor Rex- ford Guy Tugwell has paid that amount of money to job holders in trying to carry out the professor’s impossible dream. While the sum shown as used for administrative expenses by Profes sor Tugwell is small, compared to the billions, of total waste in the Roosevelt administration, the prop er way to consider this circum stance is on a percentage basis. If you take your pencil you can cal culate that about 20 per cent or one- fifth of all the funds appropriated to Professor Tugwell for resettlement, has been used in management of his plan. It may be a fraction under 20 per cent, but it is so close that even the fastidious Mr. Tugwell would not quarrel about the dif ference. One-fifth of an appropriation that is designed theoretically at least to serve for relief purposes is entirely too much. It is not as great per haps as has happened with one 09 two other relief appropriations, but it has always been claimed that the Tugwell scheme was planned to re establish those who have been re settled on a permanent basis. That is to say, it was planned that the bulk of the money should be used in providing those people with a fresh start in life, but I cannot see where they are getting the full meas ure of help intended if a lot of job holders sit around in Washington offices or in offices in various states using up one-fifth of the total lay- oat of cash. measure themselves, stop fooling themselves, many might discover that the other man they might have married is a self-nurtured illusion; that the career of their dreams is not a soft snap and a joy forever; but a grueling, ex hausting job which might have worn them out if they had quali fied for it, which they probably would have been unable to do; that they themselves are neither devastating beauties nor always charming, but women who are cult to live with. They might dis cover and admit to themselyes that they are greatly in debt to their husbands for many things that make life easier and better and more worthwhile—that they would not get along so well with out them. Then they might think more of doing their part of trying to make those husbands happy. And that effort on the part of one must in evitably go a long way toward a mutually happy and successful marriage. 6 Bell Syndicate.—WNU Serrice.
