that the ~demoralizing and degrading
effects u unemployment were arst
brought under my observation
says John Mitchell in the Circle, I
came IN contact with hundreds Of
young and middle aged men who,
like myself, had either from choice
or necessity left their homes to seek
tie more alluring fields Of the west
Most Of these travellers were without
funds and il can be readily UNDER
stood that II was difficult for SO
many to find temporary employment
that would enable them to provide
themselves with food. As a conse-
quencs many Of these men, either
through their inability 10 find work

the new 81 Dorado they were un-
willing TO be delayed BY the slow
process Of seeking some work to De
every time they found il necessary
to satisfy their hunger, adopted the
custom Of the professional tramp
and, instead Of asking for work,
asked for food or solicited money
from the residents Of the towns
through which they passed.
Here let it be recorded that in no
instance have | ever seen or known
8 man to ask for bread or for money
with which to buy bread that the
performance did not cause a marked
shock to his fncr feelings and a de-
tsrioratiOn in his character,
I have often felt that I owed 10
my stepmOther at least one great
dsbt Of gratitude in that she taught
me 10 work. This lesson, along with
the spirit Of independence inherited
from my father, saved me, no doubt,
from falling into the great error Of
aLdng for or accepting food instead
st asking for and insisting upon
work.

STORY or THE sAssoous.

The history Of the Sassoons is one
Of the most dramatic in the very
dramatic story Of the Hebrew race.
The original SassoOn Was a Bombay
merchant, but the family is de-
scended from a group known as ION
Shoshan, who at ons time held the
position Of nossi Of Toledo. The
name Shoshan, which signifies lily
in Hebrew, was gradually trans-
formed into Sassoon. signifying
"gladness." The family claim Ds-
Vidic descent, and Abraham Sassoon
who Hourished in the seventeenth
century, stated that lie was a direct
descendant Of Shephatiah, the dfth
son Of David. Not only are msIe
many references to the name in He
brew medieval literature, but mem
ton Of Il is made in the Talmud.

Not counting the numerous In

about 80 per cent. Of the 100 years
since 1889 in war. The United
States has had six foreign wars and
the greatest civil wal known to his

American pensions has been greater
than the amounts spent by some Of
the greatest nations on their armies

Busting The Trusts

Much has been made of the efforts of
Frank B. Kellogg, special counsel for
the Interstate commerce commission in
the prosecution of certain trusts. Among
other trusts he has been prosecuting is
the Standard Oil company. The joke
of it is that Moody's Manual lists Mr..
Kellogg as general counsel Duluth and
Iron Range Railroad company, and of
the Duluth, Missabe and Northern COM
pany." These roads belong to the steel
trust in VIII Oh Rockefeller and Rogers
were both directors In other words,
Kellogg was seeking to serve two
masters, with the result that the
Standard Oil lost nothing in any case he
prosecuted.
Another Case of the same kind is
brought out in the feud between two of
Taft's officials. Pinchot and Ballinger.
Pinchot shows that .Ballinger, while
nominally representing the government
in seeking to conserve coal lands in
Alaska and elsewhere, was attorney for
the Cunningham interests which were
seeking to appropriate 5000 acres of
public lands in Alaska.

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE

The bullion-taX problem continues
to agitate some of the big mining
companies of this State. The Florence
has compromised the suit brought
against it by the authorities by paying
the full taxes levied and Il heavy penalty
beside, but the Goldfield Consolidated
has since distinguished itself by execut-
ing one of those corporation juggles SO
often witnessed these days, and, to all
appearances, divorced its mine from
its mill and railroad. 1t appears that
the separation was unattended by any
hard feeling and the avowed purpose
of it's accomplishment was to tighten
the bullion taxes Of the company. The
bullion tax of Nevada is levied upon
the net proceeds of the ore, and by
making Il high charge for reduction,
the apparent profit from the ore can be
greatly reduced. And by organizing
the milling company separately from
the mining company and having its
milling company charge its mining
company reasonable profit for it's
work, the GOldfield Consolidated may
hope to get the best of the State on it's
bullion tax
The Reveille w Ould counsel the adj
visibility of letting we'll enough alone.
If there is Il way for the mining com
pany to beat the State, there is a way
for the State to beat the mining com
pdny. The GoldhelI Consolidated is
paying II bullion tax Of something like
three per cent on the net proceeds of
it's mine in Nevada, while in Mexico
the taxation rate on the mines ranges
from four to ten per cent of the gross
out put. 1t is in the power of the people
OF Nevada with whom the bullion tux
Is certainly popular measure, to meet
the palpable ruse of the Goldfeld Con-
Solidated with the simple expedient of a
Tax on the gross output.
This would not only defeat the ex-
pectations of the GoldfielI Consolidated
as to avoiding their just share of the
bullion tax, but would place an
nnerous burden on the 10 v-grade mines,
which are operated Oh the basis of
large tonnage and small profit per ton.
