Disclosing the fact that by-products from the 47,400,000 tons of coal which were processed into 83,400,000 tons of coke last year by the steel industry were worth $1838,000,000, Steel Facts breaks the figure down into an itemized statement. Out of the coal 525,000,000,000 cubic feet of gas was pro-| duced. It was valued at $85,400,000. About 36 per cent was used to heat the coke ovens while the remainder was used in open-hearth furnaces or marketed otherwise. Tar from the by-products was valued at $18,000,000 and crude light oils, such as benzol, toluol and naphtha totaled 127,- 700,000 gallons, worth $14,400,000. From these light oils come most of the dyes, solvents, per- fumes, explosives, insecticides and saccharin. The latter is not a food but it enters into diets. Tar derivatives include drugs, flavoring extracts, dyes and lubricating greases. These facts are interesting to North Dakota because they hint at the tremendous value which the world will one day place upon our lignite coal deposits. Its major use now is merely that of heating, but the day may not be far distant when both the roses and aspirin now latent in our fuel will be extracted before it finally is delivered to the consumer. Take the Gals Along : When the football team of John Reagan high school at Houston, Tex., recently invaded Mexico City to play the pig- skin squad of Mexico’s National Polytechnic Institute, the Texas city made a big affair out of it and some 250 persons made the trip. About 100 of these were girls, members of the high school Nothing Is Sure Except Death and Taxes—and that Taxes Will Be Raleed to Balance the National Budget if and When. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 5 — New and heavier taxes will be used to balance the federal budget when and if. This prediction is made privately by most of the few peraons who, if they do not possess clairvoyance, are at east in the best position to size up the near future and to be informed as to what will be done about it. Nothing is sure, it appears, except death and taxes which will cut into incomes of from $5000 to $20,000 8 year far more painfully than they are being tapped at the present time. Incomes down to $2500 are very likely to be affected. And it's practically certain that when the rates on these middie brackets are raised, all incomes over $20,000 will likewise be subjected to levies higher than those existing. BIG PILE OF “IF8” All this is contingent on Roosevelt- Morgenthau recommendation and act of congress, But the fellows who have earned the right to be called wise guys in Washington, say it’s inevitable dur- ing this congress, regardless of tradi- tional Capito) Hill reluctance to raise taxes in an election year. The naked truth is that it’s harder to get con- gress to hold down appropriations than it is to persuade it to pass a tax bill. Roosevelt has warned of higher taxes frequently, as an alternative to this or that. He has even been rather definite with assertions that federal Spending will be cut. But if you count them up, you'll find that his tax warn- ings have built up a large pile of “ifs,” some of which aren’t materializing. Experience has indicated that except in post-war periods government bud- gets tend to stay up, rather than go down, The corporate surplus and capital gains taxes are another story. The administration undoubtedly will sup- port exemptions from the former for small corporations while trying to fight off efforts of the “big fellows” to abolish the tax completely. It is not yet sold on abolition of the capital gains tax, GLAD FOR TROYANOVSKY Sighs of relief are heard on vir- ‘ALL IN ONE MAN’S HEAD’ tually every hand with the return of} A few days ago when the ‘precipi- Russian Ambassador Alexander An-/tous drop in securities had created 8 tonovich Troyanovsky from his na-|general jittery feeling, an astute and tive land, experienced observer, well versed in Troyanovsky probably is this capi- {economic as well as political affairs tal’s most popular ambessador, When [and by no means unfriendly. to the he was summoned back to Moscow last | president, was asked what he thought The Great Gane of POLITICS Copyright 1937, by The Baltimore Sus Roosevelt is really disturbed; that ne 1000 of old. ecutive, undistributed by conditions|living today that but I am not so sure about babies.

Nearly all of them the worst. and they feared that the ambassador feared the same. But it seems that Stalin only want- i hand—and what a reception they got in Mexico City. The natural gallantry of the dons came swiftly to the surface and the expedition turned {nto one of the best good will gestures in recent history. The girls, of course, upheld their end ad- tirably in pasting out the personal —and international — bouquets. Who won the game was unimportant. Before it even began both the home-town folks and the invaders agreed they didn’t much care, thst they had enjoyed a swell time and it was just a game, after all. All of which should be noted by international diplomats and war lords. If they are seeking to preserve peace, they should take the women along and let them do their share of the _ negotiating. If war has actually been started, why not put a band of beauties in the front line trenches and let them exercise their wiles on the enemy? If they got the same reception that the Texas girls received in Mexico the war would be over shortly after they entered the conflict. Earned Dollars Are Best Earned dollars are better than gift dollars. Everyone, everywhere, appreciates that fact. Some place emphasis on the moral value of work as compared with char- ity, a fact often mentioned in connection with the advocacy of federal work programs. Others stress the fact that the earned dollar does a better job of sustaining the economy of the region in which it is produced. Support for the latter idea comes from the announcement of the National Retail Hardware association that retail sales of hardware items in North Dakota were up four per cent in September and nine per cent in October as compared with the previous year. : - Most of this, probably, was in the eastern part of the state where a substantial crop was harvested, but the probability is that sales in the western districts were equal to those a year ago, The answer is found in the nature of hardware items. - They are used largely in building and producing operations. To EARN money in production it is necessary to SPEND money for all sorts of items. The government checks still coming into this area are both welcome and necessary, but everyone agrees that conditions will not only be sounder but better when this region again can stand on its own feet without looking to any agency for help. It was his way of saying that no one can tell anything about the-future because everything hinges upon what |Mr. Roosevelt does, and no etd about that—not even Mr./ Rq@dsevelt himself, who may have one thing in his _mind today and a quite different thing tomorrow. He himself has de- scribed his “strategy” by using the old quarterback simile, which permits him to shift his tactics—and even his direction—with each play. It is a system that works all right in run- ning @ football team, ‘ut leaves much to be desired as a national policy. te impressed upon him and that he drastic cuts such as he made in first six months of his first term, more taxes, are essential if greater than any that: has confront! the nation for a good many years is be averted.
