(Continued from page 8) of his state, visited the Scranton works recently, just as he visited the govern- ment operations at Williston. The governor arranged to have some of the briquets tested by experts at the University of North Dakota, who have been carrying on investigations of their own of the best methods of using lig- nite. Although most of the lignite coal deposits have passed into the hands of private profiteers, there are still some school lands held by the state containing lignite and it is possible that some means may be worked out for utilizing this for the benefit of the people of the en- tire state, instead of for the bene- fit of private capital. Rajlroads are counting on using more lignite coal in future than they have in the past. An interesting series of experiments has been made of the use of powdered coal. The results of these experiments were announced recently at the 1917 convention of the Interna- tional Railway Fuel association. PULVERIZATION ALSO MAY BE SOLUTION It was announced at this meeting, attended by heads of the largest rail- - roads of the United States, that lignite coal could be prepared for use in powdered form at a cost of $1.17 per ton, and that it would give, when used in this form, a fire in many respects better than that from lump anthra- cite, because more easily controlled; as soon as the blast of powdered coal is stopped, the fire will drop and go out without waste. The official report of this meeting gives out the following findings: “Pulverization is the only means of utilizing lignite which is found in great quantities in the western section of the country, and affords a means of ob- taining a cheap fuel with a high heat- ing value. At present coal is hauled long distances to sections where lig- nite is available and the long hauls would be eliminated if lignite were used. In some sections of the west the o0il supply is becoming exhausted and pulverized lignite will provide cheap fuel for these districts.” So it begins to look as if private capital had decided that it is time for the lignite fields of North Dakota to be developed, and that powdered lig- nite, according to railroad plans, may be shipped now to points which have | been using oil, the railroads collecting the freight, just as they did when they shipped the oil from these points to other points where there was lignite coal. But the pity of it is that private capital is going to reap the profits, while the common people, compelled to turn to lignite by the high cost of other fuels, will pay the cost. Car Shortage a Fake Masterson Writes Leader a Letter About Profits | of the Great Railroads of the Country Pennock, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: A few days ago a young man who in his childhood attended a Sunday school of which I was superintendent told me personally that this car shortage is simply manufactured by the railroads. It works about as follows: The railroad company runs a long train of freight cars into Minneapolis, made up practically of empties, puts the train on a siding and then a switch engine and switching crew are assign- ed to switch those care for three days from one track to another. This is done to show the public that the com- pany is busy moving its cars. Then these empty cars are lined up on another track, mixed with a few load. ed ones, a caboose is attached to one end, an engine to the other, and the train is run to a distant part of the yards and the same trick is played over. This young man is a switchman and therefore knows what he is talking about, and what is doing. Why do these railroad gentiemen impose on the public? Is it to make the public believe that a 15 per cent increase in freight rates is needed— so they can build more cars to haul empty over their roads? The senator from Georgia, Mr. Smith, on May 19 introduced the following valuable figures to prove that the main railroads of this country do not need the 15 per cent freight increase, while the small roads will be little benefited by it. The earnings of the American railroads from the organization of the Interstate Commerce commission down to the present time, June 30, 1887, to June 30, 1916, are here given.

I hope this will be the means of arousing the good tillers of the soil to the fact that it is time that we stand by and elect the right kind of men to congress. It is all up to you, Mr. Farmer.
