EDITORIAL COMMENT.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Take all of our great national
Industries, and the best paying
of all is that of mining. We re-
fer particularly to gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc. The
common impression that mining
does not pay is unfounded. TAX
ing the figures compiled from the
United States census report of
1890, and an analysis of the re-
turns is interesting and instruc-
tive. The statistics are based on
the per capita returus from agri-
culture, forest industries, manu-
featuring and mining. Agri-
culture yields $2o7 to each per-
sou engaged; forest industries,
$425; manufacturing is $7o4,
while mining reaches the very
respectable sum of $IoIo per
capita. This is surprising
showing, to say the least, and
must be encouraging to every
one interested in developing the
mineral wealth of the state.
From the mayors veto, found
in another column, of the ordi-
nance recently passed by the
common council granting fran
\ chise for ten years and fixing the
price of arc lights at $6 per
month and incandescent at $1.4I
per month, it appears that an
other bid which was proposed at
the time the ordinance was pass
ed offered to furnish arc lights
for IS per month and incandes-
cent at $I35 per month. The
new bidders have put up bond
for $2, 500, approved by the
mayor, guaranteeing to enter
into contract within 80 days if
accepted by the council. These
are the good and substantial rea-
sons which the mayor gives for
vetoing the ordinance. The
mayor figures that 81, 500 will be
gained to the city by the new bid.
The mayors veto will give the
council ample opportunity to
take plenty of rejecting time.
The great difficulty with all i'm
portant matters before a city
council is too much haste and
generally loss to the city. In
many cities throughout the
United States franchises are sold
to the lowest bidder, not under
sealed bids, but by open bids as
an auctioneer cries off horse or
any other article at crier's sale.
The council might do we'll to
advertise and let the electric light
contract by open bids, every
man to bid as often as he desires.
Now is the time for the council
to do good service for the city.
Certainly no man will bid lower
than the light can be furnished
for at profit.
The defects in the tax law
passed by the last legislature
brings vividly to mind the re-
suits of tax agitation. The en-
tire state, every municipality,
county and school district are
wonderfully perplexed to know
what will be the result. While
the governor may realize that it
is his duty to call an extra ses-
sion OF the Legislature to cure
stupid b1unders in the tax law,
he also knows that the majority
OF persons elected to the legis1a-
ture are inexperienced people,
Such people are more likely to
be agitators than men of sound
experience. The two greatest
evils of the day are the tax agi-
tator and the tramp labor dele
gate who never works but with
his mouth and becomes labor
agitator. The average mex
perienced would-be statesman
easily imagines there is some
difficulty with taxation, valua-
tions and equalization of taxes.

rendered 10y the courts, and are OF inn
portance to the subscriber as well as

dress, they are held responsible.
D. The courts have decided that re-
fusing To take periodicals from the Of
