DOES IT PAY TO RAISE ,BOYS2

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent on
mis- parents for a livelihood until he
reaches the age Of 21 years costs
them four thusand dollars. On this
basis of calculation brood, for in
stance, of six boys would represent
an outlay of $4,000 by the time they
get away from the home rOOst. The
question arises does it pay to raise
boys and are there no other crops
that would be more profitable?-Ex
The question is not, does it pay to
raise boys?
The real question is 0oes it pay tO
spend $4,000 on raising and educating
of two bit boy?
Most fathers find out the relative
value of their little hostage to for
tune before they get SO deeply into
soak for him. Some never find out
The latter would get skinned any way
if the boy didn't get il.

IS
IN CONTROL

The Gollfield Consolidated Mines
company announces it has bought
paid for and is now in absolute con-
troll of its subsidiary companies,
known as the Laguna, Red Top,
Goidfield Mining Company, Jumbo
and Mohawk. In the future there
will be but one stock on the market
that of the parent company.
The amount involved in tle trans
action of the auXilliaries was $19,-
900, ZOO, and the action is expected
to be ratified August 20, at the
meetings of the minor companies
There is no doubt of the result, as
the directors are almost identical
with the most powerful interests
within the Consolidated.
Payment is divided in the follow
ing ratio: Mohawk, $4,000 900; Red
Top, $3,l96,S75; Jumbo, $2,625 900;
Laguna, $1,2O3,O00; Goldfield Mining
Company, $1,325,225.
This action Vas taken in compli-
ance with a resolution made at the
meeting in New York May 27, OF
which nothing was said at the time.
The directors of the subsidiary cam
panies Immediately declared a divi-
dend which was at once sent TO
the stockholders, and practically
wound up their careers, which was
further emphasized by the filing of
deeds and transfers of the various
properties.
In arriving at a basis of settlement
the change was made on the basis OF
$3.50 for Consolidated, two shares OF
Consolidated for one of Mohawk. one
share for two shares of Red Top, the
same for Jumbo, one share for five
of Laguna, and the same for Gold
field Mining company.

TARIFF BILL
REPORTED

President Taft has annunced that
he will sign the tariff bill, TO be
voted upon by both houses OF the
congress.
Payne, WHO introduced the bill in
the house says that the bill raises
the duty on Injuries and lowers it
ON necessities, based upon the am
Ount of production in The country
pro rata.
Aldrich, who handled the bill in the
senate, put increases on nearly ev-
cry schedule, jammed them through
the senate and sent the bill to the
conference committee despite tae
storm OF protest Inat extended even
! to the white house, where the Big
Jellytish was making Il loud putting
noise about being disposed TO carry
out his promises of last fall as the
nominal leader of his party.
,Aldrich kept right along with his
| little high powered bandsaw, saying
nOthing-for publication-and keep,
| ing mis- thumb on the vent hole.
The tariff bill as reported is re
/ vision" all right, Il revision upward.
"LuXuries" such as shoes, wn.ch o.
! course are not Il necessity are
raised. Another luxury" white
| printing paper is jumped from the
| house rate nearly double, under the
evident belief that newspapers are
q luxury probably they are-hois-
| of feminine attire is increased, flour
, is now IS Il barrel in his city AND
| crude food stuffs are increased, in
fact the whole bill is one big graft
on the common people to provide
l avenue for an expensive army, navy
| and federal government that could
be run for half the amount the re-
publican party requires it We're run
as business and not as huge graft.
In order to disarm criticism if pos
sibie, referendum on the income
This is such a palpable sop that /
! deceives nobody. The law will be
passed as certainty and as -
states have demanded a referendum
on an amendment to the federal con-
stitution providing for the election
OF /. 5. Senators by vote of the peo-
pie. it remains for only four more &C
get into line and this qu astion also
will come up, and will pe carried by
an overwhelming majority of states
An effort was made by democrats
headed by Senator .Iewl;lnds to in
sert a claus referring the opular Ell
ection OF senators to the people al
AIS time. also TO create a tariff com
mission that shall work all the time
and remove the quadrennal diStur-
Dances over tariff legislation. This
advice was rejected as too radical al
together.
1t is TO be hoped the congress vii
get down to business, pass or rejec
the bill at once without any re-ref
erence to the conference committee
The bill will have an effect on tn,

and the complexion OF congress il

NOW COMES KNIGHT OF THE
MOTLEY TO DESTROY US ALL


having ''one hand wash the other.
No more anything that our latter
day Don QuiXote and his faithful
squire may imagine, even TO the Wis
ions OF the cave of Montesinos, is
wrong.
But the crowning absurdity is this.
For this much give thanks.
up TO the present time there
has been no one 10 call halt
on the questionable methods EN-
ployed but the time has now
come for the people to act for
themselves, to get together for
their own good, and for the Vot-
ers of this state to be democrat
ic for the sake OF democratic
principles and traditions, and not
political chameieons Tor the sake
of the spoils.
Don QuiXote declares that the
faithful shall be rewarded no more.
He issues the edict that destroys the
influence of Merlin. whether that in
tuence is destroyed or not. There
is nothing To do but get togeth er
and console each other over the fact
that the illustrious knight has per
mitted us to escape with life, liberty
and in pursuit OF those occupations
he allows us TO continue.
The spoils of his conque ests he dis
dains. Alike for himself and his
conquered slaves he renounces them.
II some OF these "spoils" happen to
be bruised flesh and broken bones,
then there is to be no complaint.
Rather knightly fortitude aG i 81
lence.
So armed is he in the rishteou jness
OF his cause, in the need for refOrma-
ton, in the necessity for taking aw-
ay from lis tae duly conf tituted and
existing order OF things that any
windmill on the horizon may expect
an attack from his knight errancy
with lance in couch, RoZinante per-
forming prodigies OF speed and San
cho Panza ambling along behind car
rying the wallet-and the lint and
bandages.
Long life TO our modern Don QuiX-
ote IL is possible We might have

sibe we might have gone right
