BE HONEST

The BOISE Statesman has been
caught mapping, and, in the moment
of forgettulness, refers to the pesti-
lential shadow OF the copper trust.
In speaking of the work of the COM
bine our contemporary saws:
We have three great districts in Idaho.
the Seven Devils, Mackay and Blackb bird.
In addition TO these are several
localities that give promise of developing
into good copper regions. There is a
rich district in Utah. there is one in
Alaska. and, indeed, there are coppe
iodes throughout the entire mining re-
gion that would pay we'll if opened up
and worked. 1t is likely that the
Maskay district is beyond the reach of
the combine. Everything indicates that
the mues there are to be worked, but all
is uncertainty concerning the others.
The price of copper would undoub tedly
stay at fair figure if there were no him
ORANGES thrown in the way of the opening
of new districts. The demand for the
metal is increasing with great strides.
and the increased production would do
little more than keep abreast of it if
there were no such interference. But
this combination does not propose to take
the chances; it will control prices and
hold up prices in any event.
The public will hope that the plans
the copper magnates will fail.
1t would be pleasant if our friend
who wrote that would allow his
cognizance of existing evils to
flow into that sincerity of feel
ing that would cause him to op-
pose with his pen the policies that
breed these evils. What the Amalga-
mated Copper company is doing to
Idaho is only what scores of similar
monster combinations, under political
policies which make them possible,
are doing to most Of the other indus
tries. Silver mining in Idaho has
been destroyed by legislation which
the Statesman opposed, but now az
cepts AS tenent of its own class
ruled, syndicate-ruled and monopoly
ruled party. When the Statesman
gets onto that line honestly there is
wide field for its vision and It's
vigor.

BRITAIN'S AWFUL.LOAD.

Kruger's words as to the price
England would pay for the Transvaal
become more prophetic as time goes
on. and if humanity is not yet stag
gered, England at least reels under
the frightful load financially, if not
under the 100, 900 casualties sustain
ed. The Bankers Magazine of
London says:
The stupendous fall in government.
railroad and other securities since the
South African war commenced is almost
with out precedent.
In two years, the Bankers Magazine
says, the net decrease in the value of 1926
selected listed securities amounts to the
enormous total of e143, GAG, 000 Consols,
which the day before the Boer ultimatum
were quoted at 103 3-4 are now 81 1916,
whereas, in the same period, several of
the government stocks and American
railroads rose in value about SAT, 900, 900.
The decrease in Ia British and Indian
government funds amounted to e76, 1902. =
900. The common stock of 10 British
railroads lost in value in the war period
over 500, 900, 600, while the decline in
railroad debentures and preferences brings
the total loss to over el00, 100000.
The shrinkage in British bonds is
due to no other cause than the Boer
war and the real financial diff culties
are just being encountered. The
raising of further funds is becoming
problem and the foe is unconquer-
ed. Burk Cochran in his speech
before the Chicago Boer meeting
said
''This statement is not based on any
special information concerning the war
but on the conviction that it will be i'm
possible for the government to secure the
passage of many more~war appropria-
tons through the house of commons
The last budget was passed only after
immense difficulties. All sources of tax
alton have practically been exhausted
and the attempt to effect another large
loan would result in such fall in the
price of consols as would seriously jeopar-
die British Industries If, then, the
Boer forces can hold the field little
longer, the attempt to subdue the re-
publics must be abandoned for lack Of
means to pursue It,.
There are indications that the
Beers will hold out beyond England's
capacity to keep up the tremendous
expense of the war and far-seeing
persons intimate that Great Britain
is seeking some way to let go with
as little humiliation as possible. 1t
is not known exactly how many
Beers are still fighting, but there are
at least 10000 keeping England's
vast army busy. The Boer fighters
are trimmed down to the Spartans

but never to surrender, Their homes

That the Boer war is war of greed
8 proven in arecent London dispatch:

The Statist suggest that the largest
business centers throughout the country,
whose interests are injured by continu-
ance of the war in South Africa, should
raise and equip mounted volunteer corps
for the service and that the wealthy class
es should subscribe the necessary funds.
The propretors of the Statst offer to
start the subscription with 1000 guineas.
There is no suggestion of ending
the unjust war by withdrawing from
a wrong and mercenary position.
The only thing for "injured'' wealthy
interests to do is to rally to the sup
port of the money grabbing power that
is causing the war to be carried on.
This is the reason the administration

have been effaced from earth, their
brothers butchered, their mothers
killed, their sisters and sweethearts
outraged by British soldiers and their
children murdered IN the concentra-
ton camps. What is there for them
when they surrender? Nothing but
despair and lonely misery with all
those they loved lost forever. The
only thing to stimulate their lives is
to fight, if only for revenge-fght
until death, doing all the harm pos
sible to the cruel invader until the
welcome end relieves their broken
lives. And it is certain that when
there is only 1000, 500 or 100 left,
these will still be fighting unconquer-
ed. The Beers might even now
have England at her ropes end but
for the assistance given Great Britain
by this country. Where we should
be on the side of the republic, we
are not even remaining neutral, but
are furnishing the English army with
horses and munitions to aid a
monarchy to destroy it. The
American public is not doing this,
but the administration is. The last
cry of the Beers to America is eve
do not ask you to help us, let us
fight England alone. But we do
ask you to remain neutral. Keep
your horses, mules and arms at home
and do not assist our enemies. An
injunction was recently asked in a
Louisiana court against allowing war
supplies for the British to leave
southern ports The court said that
was matter in which the president
or congress only could act. Does

have said from the start the Beers will
win. Am more and more convinced OF
it. Bismark said South Africa will
be the grave of the British Empire,
not nation. She has lost over 100, 900
men killed, and died from wounds and
sickness. A billion OF dollars, her
prestige is gone. And the Beers have
now the largest army they ever had, over
40, 900. Their death loss is less than
1000. Britain's fingers being tight in
South African trap, Russia has had free
hand in China India and Persia. Russias
treaty with Persia alone will be more
damage to England than to have lost
South Africa"
