MINE PRODUCT REPORTS SAID TO BE UNFAIR Indiana Mineral Values in Census Reports Are Misleading. A recent article published in some of the daily newspapers of Indiana from a census report values the products from mines, quarries and welis in Indiana at $52,840,252 and is decldely unfair to this State because it represents only about half the value of such mineral products during a normal year, says Dr. W. N. Logan, geologist under the State conservation department. •*lt seems very unfortunate if this figure is to stand for a period of ten years as represeiting the annual value of tile mineral products of Indiana,” he says. 'Tnfortunate because this sum will he us and by a large number of publications such as trade journals/ statistical journals, encyclopedias, ect., and given much wider publicity than that given by the census report. T'nfortunate to a greater degree because the sum named Represents but half the value of our mineral products for a uorrnal year. The value of the coal produced in Indiana in 1020 alone was in excess of the aforementioned sum.” I>r. Los, an points out that in 1020 Indiana produced about 30,420,010 tons of coal. This coal had a value of at least $2 per ton at the mine, making the total value of Indiana coal for that year $60,840.000, which is considerably in execss of the sum given by the census report as representing the total valua of all products from mines, quarries and wells in Indiana. In 1920 Indiana produced 10,700,000 barrels of cement, having a of at least $19,795,000, which is nearly onethird of the census sum. The value of the limestovh produced in Indiana according to the census report is $4,019,901, which is not far from the normal value. The value of petroleum and natural gas is placed at $2,604,395 which Is also reasonably near the normal value. These five products have normally a totSR value of $87,840,196. ‘‘ln addition to the above mentioned products Indiana under normal coil” dltions produces annually sand and gravel to the value of $1,591,158; clay products to the value of $9,108,973: mineral waters to the value of $152,469; abrasive, mineral pigments, kaolin, marl, peat, etc., to the value of $30,000, and lime to the value of $495,283. These values make a total of mineral products worth $99,238,078 annually,” Dr. Logan says. ‘‘lndiana produces also concrete blocks .to the value of $172,999 and coke to the value of about $25,000,000, annually. Some of the raw materials of Indiana are used In these products and part of this value should be added to the above total value. Indiana also produces 2,418,408 tons of pig iron valued at $61,159,504. Raw materials used in the production of this pig iron are limestones used for flux. ‘‘lt seems quite evident that the figures quoted from fnls census report do not represent the value of the products won from mines, quarries and wells in Indiana under normal conditions. An average of these values for the past five years would not fall as low as the amount given In the census report,” Dr. Logan contends.

Bryan Avers Democrats Can Only Sing Praises of Harding Conference
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 9. —Democracy can have nothing but praise, for the actua steps toward world peace which werv taken by the disarmament conference at Washington, William Jennings Bryan de clared in a special article summing u; the conference for the United Press “Democrats ungrudgingly will commend what has been done,” he stated. The success of the conference makes sure the calling of other conferences, Bryan belie"es, and in time, the idea will develop into a permanent international tribunal. By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. (Copyright. 1922, by United Press.) The arms conference has passesd into history after a session that may be regarded as the beginning of an epoch. It did not do all the sanguine hoped for, but movements by large masses are never as rapid as the enthusiast wishes. The Idealist goes in advance of events end he must not Le disappointed If those who move more slowly retard the pace of the Army. EDI RATIONAL VALUE DECLARED GREAT. That which has been accomplished is substantial and the educational influence the conference will exert is even more important than Its accomplishments. The world takes a long step In advance when the leading naval powers scrap half of their battleship tonnage and agree to a naval holiday. Besides, they have excluded the submarine as a weapon against commerce and they have made poisonous gas Illegitimate In war. The conference makes possible a larger reduction In current taxation. Who can belittle such a measure of relief at a time like this? Scarcely of less Importance is the adjustment of many of the troublesome problems of the Far East. The Shantung qnestion could not be solved at Paris. It Is solved at Washington and China has had anew birth; her national hopes are about to be realized. Japan has won one of the greatest victories of the conference, viz., the confidence of
the world. She will not lose pecuniary by recognizing China’s rights, but it r al progress when any ambitious nation recognizes human rights, especially the rights so greatly emphasized iu recent. 5 ears, viz.: the right of self-determina-tion. tv ELL TO ALLAY EVEN IDLE FEARS. While the danger of war in the Pacific has been greatly exaggerated, still it is gratifying to have mr/iisures taken that will allay even groundless fears and furnish guarantees of peace. The failure of the conference to deal with the question of land armaments Is to be regretted, but It Is a sin of omls sion that can and will be corrected later. The Democrats will ungrudgingly

commend what has been done. They’will not seek to detract from or to minimize the work of the conference. Principle as well as policy will compel them to give credit to the Administration for what has been done. They have reason to be as happy as the Republicans because every step that the conference has taken has been along the Democratic" line of march. Things have been accomplished this year that were impossible one year ago and still more impossible two years ago, just as some things are left for the future which are now ripe for settlement.
