The assertion of the White Pine News that the Direct Primary
law will place the cost of two expensive campaigns on candidates
for office and keep poor men from running, sounds to the Sun like
mere yelled opposition to the law. 1t does not have the true ring
of a sincere utterance, and is one that is not borne out by
experiences elsewhere.
In the State of Washington the Direct Primary put a corrupt
millionaire out Of the field as a candidate for reelection to the
United States Senate, giving his position to Congressman Of small
financial means, but with a wealth Of merit. In the same State the
railway candidates for Governor were swept from the arena and a
plodding lawyer from a country town in the wheat belt was
t~riumphantly elected.
There are other instances in many other States, and the law has
proven not a barrier against poor men, but the very avenue by
which they have replaced wealth and the corruption that goes hand
in hand with it. In time, with laws similar to that of Oregon in the
various States, the plutocracy of the United States Senate will be
retired and men without a dollar will once more be eligible to sit in
Americas highest legislative body.
Talking of dollars and cents, where is the difference between a
campaign prior to the holding of a convention and that before a
primary election? Oh, yes, there is a difference, and it is vast, but
it is in favor of the latter. 1t costs nothing like the amount to
carry on a canvass where the people are to nominate IS where it is
left to a lot of ward heelers who sit in conventions and vote as the
Indeed, with the direct primary system III good working order, the
candidate who flashes money in a campaign for nomination will be
retired and the one with ability and merit and honesty to recommend
him will win.
To be sure, some reader will say that such will not be the
case and attempt to prove it by saying that on election day under
present customs it is the man with the money who wins. Iu an
swer to that the Sun will merely point to the list OF candidates at
the last election in Nye County and ask the doubter to say for him
self whether or not the ones with the money defeated those without
it. As a matter Of fact, the last campaign was made practically
money by most of the successful candidates. There was
one exception, and in that there was ample merit to 60 with it.

Editors Cited For Contempt

Frank P. Laugan. Judge of:the First
Judicial District of Nevada, has issued

citations summoning Geo. Graham
Rice and Merrill A. league. editors of
the Mining Financial News of Reno to
appear before the court in Carson City,

pose. Because of this Justice Orr held
that the cause was removed from his
jurisdiction and dismissed the suit.
The statute provides o divorce possible
whenever a person ''resides or may be
found in this State" The justice said
he did not construe this to mean that
the Nevada courts were thrown open to
the world for divorce purposes. A,
present there are at least 80 men and
ONE in Reno who have applied for q
divorce and their cases are included

His friends and physicians warned

The strain of hurling the voice into a

greater than that of singing in grand

persisted in earning this comparatively
easy money and the tax upon his voice

FIGHTING FOR TARIFF ON LEAD
Mining Interests to Establish
Headquarters at Washington
to Protect Lead Duty

Denver. Colo, April 13-Five repre-
sentatives of the lead and zinc producers
of the United States will soon establish
headquarters at Washington for the
purpose of trying to convince Congress
that a moderate tariff duty ON all lead
and zinc importations is absolutely
necessary to prevent wide disaster to
these Industries. Since the American
mining congress began to agitate the
maintenance of these tariff duties some
three months ago. mining men have
come to realize the peril that threatens
their interests should the duties be
removed or reduced.
Pitted against the local producers are
the operators in Mexico, where vast
being extensively developed. The
Mexican operator gets his labor fol-
25 cents to rs cents per day, which in
quality con. oares remarkably we'll with
labor in the local mines, which
costs $500 to So 90 per day.
As the average labor cost Of producing
lead in the United States is 60 per cent
of the total cost of the products. the
tremendous advantage Of the Mexican
producer can be readily seen.
The Payne bill now provides for 0
duty of ~ cents per pound on lead in
ores, but 1t is known that there is a con
siderable sentiment in Congress in ia
vor Of reducing this to / cent per pound
Under a / cent tariff lead produceri
would lose more than $3. 900. 900 annu'
ally. while three.fourths Of them would
be completely at the mercy Of the for
eign producers. and would have to close
down their mines.
Ike campaign begun by the Mining
Congress will be vigorously supported
by the States of Colorado. Idaho, Utah
Nevada. Missouri, Wisconsin and Hi
nois, and the committee at Washington
will work for a duty Of IL cents pei
per pound on lead in ores and 21s cent
on lead in pigs. bars and bullion.
