Law.and Custom The wrong party is in the saddle; your favorite measure is lost; and your representatives in government seem to stand for everything that you abhor. But they don’t. You do not have to lie awake at night for fear that someone will pass laws to close the streeta, burn down the houses and enfores murder, theft and polygamy; and even tho you know that the supreme court was wrong in its last decision, life in the Itnd is «till endurabie. The great body of law remains as it always wus. You can walk the streets or hoe the garden in ‘your old accustomed ways, and you can still sit down to a meal without stopping to ask whether some new tyrant will"have you drawn and quartered for eating peas with the wrong implement. If they give you veal for dinner when you wanted beef, you know at least that you will not be served with Chinese birds’ nests or the “long pig” of the Cannibal Islands or the half<ligested dainties that Eskimos get from a reindeer’s stomach. The point of difference between you and your congrensmnan or you and your cook would seem small indeed to a visitor from Mars or Central Africa. The fact is that most thingy of life are se completely regulated by’ custom and solid public opinion that it never occurs to any one to change them. It i# not some vigilant policeman that keeps your’ nelghbor from going to his office in a bathrobe. He never dreamed of doing it. Even the silly fashion that makes wagnen wear high heevs is harder to break than the prohibition often feels gulitier than the lawbreaker. There are a few things that people think of changing, and about! these they can held high argument. But in most affairs of life custom’ reigns and there is not much appeal from its decrees ° - Some Riches ‘Tho world is beginnifig to wake up to the reckless waste practiced: for a half @ century and more in the production and use of its naturt resources Two-thirds of every ton of coal has gone up into the alr or into the dump. Enormous volumes of natural gas have been allowed to ‘escape to the mits of an earth atmosphere. : Hundreds of millions of barrels of petroleum havo flowed over the ground to utter uselessnens. And so all along the line. Everywhere you hear of steps being taken to correct the wastefulness. Thus, if conservation becomes the rule hereafter with new discoveries below the surface, there will be leas and leas need of fear that the world will go short of coal and gasoline in the not very distant future. Canada doesn't propose to be a squeezed-out orange like some sections of the United States. During the last five years coal fields and petroleum deposits have been discovered in Alberta, her Northwest province, and already she is passing laws against wasteful handling of these resources. One of Canada’s scientific investigators reports that “If the coal measures of Alberta can be carefully conserved and spientifically utilize and all the gas, oil and other by-products be recovered to the best advantage, the whole world can be supplied with fuel and oil, and for a thousand years, from Alberta fields alone.” Power The richest nation in the world in water-power resources is the United States, ‘ Next comes the Scandinavian countries, The only way the United States can figure out to develop its power resources is to lease them out to private capitalists who can make a profit on their operation But Sweden does it differently. sites, In 1919, the Swedish administration of power sft amounting to 13,897,649 crowns It expended 7,622,750 crowns, leaving a nice iittle net profit of over 6,000,000 crowns. Nearly every power plant now in operation shows a profit to the government, and most of the expenditures are on account of additions and new construction work on power sites that have not yet been eumpleted.
