RESIDENTS of this city twenty years 'ao by e paragraph to 'another column on this page, of the dismay (caused in the community by the inlimaliod that coal might be advanced to 18 a ton! A haa passed under the j good deal of water bridge, and a good deal of fuel has passed up in since that i smoke, during the double-decad- e 'bombshell was threatened. Today the consumer pays 810 a ton for coal, and tries to look !anl about it Certainly he baa not made nearly as much fuss over the most recent price additions by which the commodity haa .been .advanced to its present round figure, as be felt like making twenty years ago when its price was only a little more than half as much. In this connection, a note received in this .morning's mail is reveianL A correspondent writes: "Everything goes down but eoL Can't Tbs Newt induce the coal robbers to let up on ,tbe people? They mark the prices up every i time a new mine is opened. . .The Newt would be only too bappy If, its 'influence were sufficient to induce a reduction .from present prices it would less no lima in making that influence felt. For it is frank to say that it shares iU - correspondent's view about Uie local prices being allogethf too high, .considering the illimitable supply .practically at our doors, and the eompamiva ease with which it Is mined. Tet the producers eaa and do show a plausible array of figures account-lo- g for every item in the total which determines the price to the local retailers; srhlle 'the latter in turn can show by equally aatia- -i factory figures fiat every cent of additional (cost to the consumer between the price at whkh the retailer buys and tha price at which he delivers, is fully Justified. Those who believe that "figures don't lie are in despair twben brought face to face with such an array. On Ibe other hand, such incidents tend te .increase tha number of extremists on the other side who rudely sneer at figure as being easily the cunningest liars In the world. I NEW DEPARTMENT PROPOSED. FURTHER multiplicity of federal bureaus, I I .V when it entails the addition of a member to the Prmideal's cabinet, i a matter that must be given earnest consideration before decision is made t put ft Into effect It is obvious that the leas complex and overlapping the various divisions and organizations of the government raa be kept the better win be the result obtained from them. Naturally as time goe on sod new phases are added to Ibe long list of human activities stew organlz-tion- s reusLbe added to take care of them. It ia not the number of bureaus, however, that la of moat importance; it i the 'meesore of efficiency with which they do their work and the ay In which they fit ia and with one another. A great deal of coa-dui-oa as well as waste of money and effort baa been due to duplication of work, uncertainty of Jurisdiction, petty Jealousy and other unfortunate features of bureaus and diva ions not well placed. la a hlH being prepared by NrnAlor Tea-y- on of Iowa for tatrodortion at the forthcoming sestWm of Congrees, It it proposed to c retie a department of aortal welfare, to "safeguard and promote the social welfare cl l?ie people of lh United Plate."

ROOFS WANTED - - SUBSCRIPTION 1920 2G Unless o i FRIDAY NOVEMBER THE governors of the. various states will have several important matters to discuss at to be held at their twelfth Harrisburg, Pa, early in the month, but there will hardly be,any more important than the annual-conferenc- e housing shortage now so acute all over the United States. Thq fact that state legislatures are shortly, to meet wilt have a special bearing on the consideration of this question by the executives, as their action is pretty certain to be reflected in messages to the state legislatures, whereby influence will be exerted in behalf of housing laws that may be enacted this winter and spring. Reports Continue to tell of the marked inconvenience, if not privation, and even actual suffering due to this shortage, and the consequent overcrowding of tenements, where the human herding is not only hideously unhygienic, but is attended with incalculably injurious effects on morals. As illustrating the widespread demand for housing facilities all over the country. It may be noted that a Texas chamber of commerce report shows a shortage of 12,885 houses in 51 cities and towns; in Louisiana, the building industry is organizing to further, immediate erection of houses, and a state 'housing commission is called for with powers to condemn and expropriate property, and to establish residential, commercial and manufacturing zones; Massachusetts has given to municipalities authority to limit buildings according to their use and construction to specified districts; in Illinois, though there is much building of gariges, there is little doing ta dwelling suitable for families with moderate means, and Chicago landlords bars taken advantage of conditions to advance rentals 200 per cent; even In the west, Utah, Idaho, the Dakotas, and other commonwealths, complaints are made of a house famine; Sioux Falla, 8. D. has lost this year t .500 inhabitants who oould find no place to live; In Minneapolis the shortage Is estimated at 8,000 houses, la EL Paul, 4.300; In Duluth, 1.000; and tho shortage extends over the Pscifio slope. What makes the situation more menacing la tb tremendous rush of emigrants to the United States. With whiter at hand,' how shall thee new corners be cared for, under conditions already terribly congested? .The problem is one whose solution require something more than academic discussion.
