Coal and crime mix in a world of rising costs and mock punishments
The writer contrasts Northern moonshiners and Kentucky miners, then critiques coal profiteering. He cites Father Collin on the coal price gap, noting production costs in 1914 and 1920 with profits at mine surface. He laments brokers and high consumer prices, then mentions Belgian war fugitive punishments via mock executions as a grim aside.

What The Census Shows
The census indicates most Americans live in cities over 2,500 inhabitants, a signal of high living costs not aiding farmers. Farmers move to cities for better factory wages as rural land values rise past profitable limits. The farmer struggles to cover costs after interest, taxes, and transportation and monopoly charges.
Single Tax Theory Promotes Land Value Tax Remedy
The passage argues for taxing land values to render land held unused unprofitable and to abolish taxes on labor products. It contends these steps would lower land prices, reduce living and production costs, curb monopolies tied to natural resources and public highways, and force positive reform, criticizing legislators for ignoring this approach. It notes a pastor in Evanston Illinois opens a school for newlyweds amid rising divorce rates, implying broader social changes.
