That coal might be i;ept to provide Indiana alone for a innj to come. Perhaps a threat to nasii tuch a law would bring the coal Hfirons to their senses. They should learn that the people are supreme and :hat they can control what is their own. The state has a right superior to the individual's right over the soil ind the mines under the soil.
