will be slight increase in rail
road charges and slight increase IN
taxes, but not correspondingIy to
the Increase in other prices, for tie
reason that railroad charges are
in part for the purpose of paying
interest, which is fixed, and taxes
are largely for the purpose of pay
ing salaries, which are fixed and
are wrongfully high and would
not be increased. The individual
debt and the interest thereon be-
ing fixed would not increase with |
the increase of prices, nor should |
it, for taking the equities between
the creditor and debtor class it will
be found that the proposed raising
OF the general level of prices
should have been done many years
ago, in tact the general level of
prices should not have been per-
mitted to sink SO low. Had the
high range of prices that prevail
ed thirty-three years ago been
maintained, not on each article. but
Inc general range, very few of the
people who are now in debt would

Important Mining Decision.

The secretary of the interior has an.
nounced his decision in the case of the
Aspen Consolidated Mining Company
against Williams over a contest which
involves much valuable property at
Aspen. The effect of the decision is to
reverse the former decision of Secre-
tary Smith.
Williams filed a presumption of the
land and made his proof, but the As
pen Company protested against it, and
at a hearing before the local officers 1t
was decided that the land was agri-
cultural and subject to Williams en-
try.
Secretary Smith reversed this decis-
lon deciding that the land was miner
al and not subject to entry. Secretary
Bliss reversed this decision and holds
that he has jurisdiction to reopen the
case and decide it upon its merits. II
is possible that the mining company
may apply for an injunction to re-
strain the carrying out of the secre-
tary's decision.
