' We are told that we are lacing a
coal shortage.
Hut the shortage of coal Is not a
reason for the increase of the price
of coaL T o increase the price of
coal would make it possible for
the rich to have coal, but it a»ould
make it impossible for the poor to
purchase it.
--w e*.
Thia country needa so many tons
of coal. The rich and the poor
alike need the coat The shortage
of coal ihould not cause the price
to be increased.
An incrcMetf
price will prevent a just distribu
tion of coal.
The only legal and just thing that
ran possibly be done ia to diatrib-
ute the amount of coal we have

rate that they would have been
charged for the coal had there been

Coal ia a necessity. And any
man who takes advantage of the
poor man's necessity or of the rich
man's necessity to extract from him
an excessive price for that neces
sity ia at heart a thief. Whatever
law there ia that can reach him
should be put into operation.
There ia a just profit that belongs
to every man for hia labor, hia tal
ent, his brain; but there has never
existed and there will never exist a
cond,ion which eutitlea any man
to excessive profit», to usury, or
extortionate demand, for service or
for goods.
The profiteer has exi,ted too long
molested and has etcaped the judg
ments of law. But now the people
arc giowing weary, rctleaa, and re
vengeful.
The time has come for the gov
ernment to arrest every man who
takes advantage of an emergency
to practise extortion.
This is certainly true of the hour
in which we are now living.

The government talked about
seizing the coal m - e i. The gov
ernment ought to seise not only the
mines, but everything else that tha
profiteer ia trying to use for the
purpose of extorting from the peo
ple gn unjust and unreasonable
profit.
The profiteer should not be al
lowed to do business.
Let the government say to all
profiteers: ‘'Every time you raise
the price unjustly, the government
will take from you the right and
the license to do business.
This is the only way by which
the suffering publo- can be quieted
and put at ease. This is the way by
which the government can restore
confidence in its sovereignty, in its
power, and ta its jueticc.
