PARAMOUNT THEATRE Output Valued At $2,768,000 By U. S. Department of Agriculture Mines of commercial size in North Dakota produced 1,00,157 net tons of coal in 1930, with a value of $2,768,- 000, according to statistics just com- piled by the bureau of mines of the United States department of com- merce. The average value per ton was $1.63. The production was less than the amount mined in 1929, when the total quantity was 1,862,130 tons valued at $3,157,000. The average value per ton was $1.70. ‘The figures gathered by the bureau of mines are exclusive of wagon mines producing less than 1,000 tons. ‘There were 156 active mines of commercial size operating in North Dakota in 1930, while in 1929 there were 143 and the year before 150. Three mines, producing from 200,000 to 500,000 tons, furnished 49.1 per cent of the tonnage. A total of 1,335,883 tons were loaded at the mines for shipment in 1930; 344,934 tons sold to local trade and used by employes, and 19,340 tons used at mines for power and heat. The statistics showed there were a total of 1,258 persons employed in’ mines last year, compared with 1,421 the previous year. Miners worked an average of 180 days during 1930, while the average in 1929 was 192 days. Each man produced a daily average of 7.5 tons last year, and 6.84 tons the previous year. There were 638 persons employed underground as miners, loaders and shot firers, 496 as surface workers, 74 in underground haulage and track work, and 50 employed on all other Jobs. ‘The tonnage produced by hand was 86,504; shot off the solid, 164,299; cut by machines 483,073; mined by strip- ping 917,512, and not specified 46,769. Mercer county mines produced the largest tonnage of any county, with 436,720 tons, while Ward county was next with 367,244. Burke and Bur- Jeigh were third and fourth with 266,732 and 195,380 tons, respectively. Statistics by counties in which commercial mines operated in 1930 are: Total Total Aver.

Meritorious and unmeritorious proj- ects alike are to be shelved. He has also asked the aid of public opinion in support of ‘drastic econ- Washington, Oct! Standing Friday before a group of | He Became Star as ‘Skippy’ newspapermen gathered for his reg- ular press conference, Hoover said: “In times whén the income of the people is reduced and when taxes or loans may stifle economic recovery, there is only one course of sound fis-| cal policy and that is to reduce the expenditures of the government to the last cent consonant with the obli- gations of the government.” Deficit Is Increasing Before him, the president has the statement of the treasury showing a Geficit for the first three months of the present fiscal year $502,106,600. This is approximately $485,000,000 more than it was for the same period of last year, when the 12-month de- ficiency amounted to nearly a billion dollars.

Two great difficulties, he held, balk his program of reduced expen- ditures. “We must meet interest payments on the statutory redemption of the public debt,” he said, “we must pay allowances and pensions to veterans and pensions to civil servants, etc. Thus over two billion of the federal budget is in fixed obligations.” The second difficulty he enume- rated as the necessity for the govern- ment making its contribution toward expanded employment while present) conditions exist. “Public opinion in support of dras- tic economies will need to reach into these directions. It must extend also to the discouragement of special in- terests desirous of securing expendi- tures for special projects.” Trouble Looms for Navy The navy's curtailed budget esti- mate, clipping millions from project- ed expenditures, probably is headed straight for rough weather. An enormous proportion of the savings suggested by Secretary Adams and his admirals comés in shore activities, employing many men, supplying trade to many com- munities. Members of congress nor- mally set up a great clamor any time that kind of cut is proposed around, their home towns. ‘When the naval budget cut off the navy yards at Boston and Charles- ton, South Carolina, it aimed at two expenditures long on the naval list for abandonment. They and others of the type had come to be known in’ naval circles, and to some extent outside, as political” yards. Besides the yards, radio stations and other depots listed for abandon- ment, the navy has slashed off nu- merous bands, much valued by cities which do not support their own.

His experts urged him also to sug- gest progressive reduction in arma- ments on the basis of budget costs rather than the idea of equality, the paper said, and with the stipulation that the Kellogg-Briand peace pact be amended to provide that in the event of war the United States would consult with other powers and agree to deprive the aggressor of all as- sistance.
