Another bill has been introduced
in the legislature having for its OBJ
ject the increase of the salaries of
superior judges throughout the
state. The bill referred to last week
proposing a jump from $500 to $4,000
in Amador and other counties, was
too big jump to make at once.
The new measure makes haste at a
slower gait. 1t contemplates an in
crease Of $500, making the salary
$4,000 per year for Amador. The
Ledger believes it voices the almost
universal sentiment of the people
here in saying that there is no de-
mand for any increase whatever.
The salary is liberal as it is. 1t is
now the choicest berth in the official
list, all things considered. We are
unalterably opposed to any applica-
tion of the terms of salary grab bust
ness to Amador county, even though
the proposed raise Cannot become

Senator Ralston and the Inspector Of
Mines Bill

In response to letter from secretary
Mcmillan of the Bodie miners union
asking Senator Ralston to support the
bill now before the legislature provid-
ing for the appointment of an inspector
of mines of California, the latter says
he cannot support the measure, and
must oppose it for the following reasons
First-A mine owner will naturally
keep his mine in safe condition, for in
case an accident happens he is liable to
pay dearly for it should the cause be
carelessness. Second - No man can
pass upon the proper method of tim.
bering by cursOry examination, as
the dip OF vein and its enclosing walls
are great factor in STOPPING. Third
The bill provides that the inspector
and his deputy shall examine and re.
port to the governor semi-annually the
condition of every operated mine in the
state. This the senator says cannot be
done in the time, and he further doubts
u OhN 1'oti '.iO 1lluCo COulQ US ON6u
visited twice Il year, let alone properly
inspected. Fourth-Owners of mines
seriously object to strangers knowing
all about their properties. Fifth-The
salary proposed is inadequate to COM
petent man. Sixth-ShOuld a venal
man be appointed inspector, he could
earn his salary fifty times from the
owner by acting in colusion, and there
fore the miner would probably be worse
off with an inspector of mines than
without. Seventh-It would create
another commission of which there. are
too many already. In conclusion Mr..
Ralston states he is with the miners or
any proposition that will tend to main.
tain their wages and hours of work,
but he cannot support the bill as it now
stands.

then is the justice in attempting to
widen the disparity. If our legis-
lators would direct their efforts
toward reducing the difference be-
tween California and her sister
states in this respect, they would be
far more deserving the thanks Of
their constituents generally.

INSTRUCTIVE CONTRASTS.
American Prosperity Compared With Hard
Times in European Countries.

Advices from abroad show a sad
state of affairs in the countries that
are the principal commercial COM
petitors of the United States. When
this country brought to a successful
conclusion its war with Spain there
was notable expansion of industrial
and commercial activity, such as
was witnessed in Germany after her
encounter with France in 1870, and
such as usually follows a victorious
military campaign. But in Great
Britain, Notwithstanding that the
result of her conflict in South Africa
was the vanq uishment of the Beers,
there is anything but food of pros
perity in trade. The number OF
persons unable to obtain work with
in the limits of the kingdom is con-
servatively computed at half a
million, and the report comes from
London that it has been found nec-
essary to place police guards at the
gates of the dock yards to prevent
violence among the crowds assem-
bling there to struggle for the chance
of earning DAVIS wages. The Lon
don city council is considering plans
for relieving the Widespread distress,
and newspapers have started sub
scriptions for the same purpose.
There are bad times in England
Germany is faring even worse.
What is the meaning of the socialist
uprising in that country, which has
grown so powerful that the leading
journalistic organ of the movement
is daily boarding the emperor?
Socialism in Germany, as was popu-
lism in the United States, is largely
a product of the desperation induced
by hard times. 1t is not long since
Germany resounded to the crash of
toppling banks. She has gone
through financial throes almost
equal to those which shook the
United States in 1898. She is now
in political and economic crisis not
far different from that which in this
country led to the nomination of
Bryan for the presidency in 1896.
During the recent political cam
paign in the United States demo-
cratic newspapers and orators blat-
antly asserted that American pros
perity was not the result of Ameri-
can fiscal policies, but thing of
itself. Business in this country was
prosperous, they said, because busi-
ness everywhere was prosperous.
The same oracles asserted while
Cleveland and democracy were en-
throned at Washington that the
panic and the depression which fol-
lowed the panic were caused not by
democratic folly, but by widespread
natural laws affecting business in
general, though at the very time
when Coxey's army and Kelly's
army of unemployed men were ram,
paging in Ohio and Iowa, factories
in Great Britain and Germany were
advertising for help.
The fact is that the Republican
legislation enacted under the ad.
ministration of President Mckinley
produced conditions which opened
avenues to employment for all the
men in the United States willing to
work. The fact is that the Ameri-
can protective tariff is doing the

Only Oxygen.


Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen-no
drugs, no alcohol in it. It is the dis
covery of Paul., the great German chem
list, who spent 20 years on it. His object
was to get such an excess of oxygen in
staple form into the blood that no germ
could live in any membrane or tissue.
Liquozone does that. We spend ID
days in making every bottle, but the re-
suit is liquid oxygen-a gernicide SO GER
tain that we publish on every bottle an
offer of $1,000 for germ that it cannot
kill.
Oxygen is tonic to 5ou-the most es-
sential element of life Its effects are ex-
hilarating, purifying, vitalizing. Nothing
else is SO good for you. But germs are
vegetables; and this excess of oxygen
the very life of an animals deadly to
vegetable matter.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1903-11-19

Medicine must fail in a germ trouble,
because medicine never kills germs. Any
germ-killing drug is poison to you, and
it cannot be taken internally.
Liquozone-1iquid oxygen-is the only
way that any man knows to kill germs in
the body without killing the tissues, too.
Its results in a germ trouble are abso-
lutely certain, for it always destroys the
cause of the trouble To prove this-if
you need tive will gladly pay for a
bottle and give it to you to try.
