The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1909-01-22

We are pleased TO note that Sen
ator Borah is doing some excellent
work in Congress in exposing the
methods of some of the special
agents of the Interior Department,
and in fighting the proposed meas
ure for increasing the salaries of
the president and other officials.
If we had more senators and rep
resentatives in the legislative halls
in Washington and the various
states, who would exercise little
practical business sense and econ
omy when deficits from all sources
are confronting them, there would
be better showing made toward
reform, and our officials would soon
be able to make both ends meet.
Great writer's on economic ques-
tions never fail to censure the
laborer, farmer or business man
for living beyond his income or
for mortgaging his property, even
if it is done to increase his earning
capacity, yet they uphold the idea
Of the present governmental man
agement of increasing salaries,
mortgaging our country by issuing
bonds etc, right in the face of the
fact that our national income is at
present several million dollars a
month short of the expenditures
and all for the express purpose of
making grand stand play" be-
fore the other nations of the world.
If this is kept up a few more years
the United States will be compelled
to take advantage of the bank
rupt law, or Uncle Sam will have
to put all his property in his wife's
name.

The Judge and the Laird.
(La Follette's weekly.)

The long, listless tariff hearings
Of the House committee on ways
and means, grew lively just before
the holidays, when the iron and
steel schedules were reached. Judge
Gary, president of the United Steel
Corporation, appeared and testified.
He was followed by Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie, who also knows some
thing about iron and steel. For
years Mr.. Carnegie has contended
that the natural advantages of the
iron and steel industry in this
country are so great that protec-
tive tariff is unnecessary TO the
welfare of that industry. Judge
Gary admitted this as to most OF
it's products, and he would not say
that any of them needed protection,
except, possibly, tin plate.
The Judge added materially to
the mass of figures on iron and steel
in which the committee is involved,
not to say bewildered. But the
COMMITTEES has a powerful thirst for
figures and especially, it would
seem, those which reflect darkness
