New Zealand i not confronted with a
fuel famine. The government! it in the
coal business and makes a success of it
tram two standpoints. Tne government
makes a profit and her citizens secure
cheap fuel. If the United States owned
.$6.50 , the railroads and th coal field in the
x fin country condition in the United State
would b equally at good a in New Zea
land, It lookt very much a tho we will
be compelled to follow similar policy.

The citizen of Union thould be glad that
their county i so ably represented on such
an important committee, inasmuch a any
bill which truly com before th legislature
with reference to th creation of new
counties will necessarily pat thru thi

that th citizen ar asking, why should
they not rejoice instead of lament th fact
that two members of. th Union county

Th bill before the legislature changing
the time of holding our state election from
June to November is based upon true
economy and should not meet with opposi

one election would be the result. There
are only seven states in the Union that
hold their elections in any other month ex
