Programme Carried Out

|rHE Ballinger committee has reported to congress, and, as was X
pected, the committee found that Balinger was a gentleman
i and a scholar and good judge of the various kinds OF conser-
walton and had picked the right kind. According to the report there
was moi a sGntlla of evidence against him. Not a fact was proven,
and all the facts put together exhibit Mr.. Ballinger as not being any
thing but a competent, honorable gentleman, honestly and faithfully
performing the duties of his high office with an eye single to public
interest"
This report must have pleased President Taft, OF course, and
Speaker Cannon, who appointed the committee for just such a white
congress, to whom the report was made, has not passed on the com
mttees findings. That body now has two reports before 1T. One,
the report of the minority, made up of Democrats and one lnsurgent
Republican, was finished some time ago and given to the public. That
report roasted Ballnger to a fare you-wel' and demanded that Bal
linger be removed from the public service.
1t seems anamolous that two reports should be made by an lnves-
.hgating committee SC wholly at variance with one another 1t can
not be explained upon partisan political grounds, for one Republican
is found with the Democrats in a minority report. The only explana-
tion-assuming that the committee was made up OF honorable and
high-minded public servants, is that they viewed Ballinger and his
conservation policies from entirely different standpoints. One ee-
ment of the committee believed Ballmgers views on conservation
were right, and therefore Baninger as a public servant and carrying
into effect those policies, was right himself. The other element be-
lieved his policies wrong and that Ballinger, therefore, himself was
wrong. If the question involved was a moral question involving alb
stract right and wrong and right and wrong doing, the committee
would probably not have been so far apart. But it was a question of
governmental policy-an academic question, almost, involving some
politics, as the endorsement of presidents appointee.
Congress will settle the government conservation policy short
ly, it is hoped, as it will also settle this controversy over Ballnger
The present short session will doubtless dispose of the reports of the
investigating committee, as Speaker Cannon will not let it go over to
the next congress, which will be Democratic. There will be a wordy
and acrimonious discussion Of the reports, and probably the Demo
Gratis, joined by some of the insurgents, will try to substitute the mi
nority report for the majority; but after all is said and done, Speaker
Cannon will bring the question to vote and crack his whip and the
majority report white-washing Balinger will go through, and Taft
and his administration be vindicated-the program from the begin
ming.

MANHATTAN STILL THE
CAMP OF NEW STRIKES

According to the Manhattan Post,
East Manhattan still remains the Gen.
ter of attraction. The marvellous piec-
es of specimen gold float that were
brought in by Omer Maris is still the
talk of the town. Every new arrival
in town, on stepping out of the auto,
asks the same question, "Where can
see some of the rock they found at
East Manhattanf"
They are directed to several of the
places where the specimens are on ex-
hibition, and when they get a look at
the rock one could almost knock their
eyes off with a stick.
The float was found on the King Da-
vid, a new location adjoining the Buff
falo property, on three different days,
and all three of the pieces show about
the same amount of gold. The Buffalo
property lies east and west, and is three
claims long by two wide IN the center,
making four claims in all. Lining
them on the west is the Otero group
and ON the south is the Mineral HILL
group. while the Oreana lies on the
north. High up on the side of Sails
bury peak, and running due east, there
commences a draw that, having Us
head in the center of the st. Paul
group, winds its way across the south
east corner of the Otero. In then turns
easterly, and passing out of the end OF
the Otero group it ~traverses the entire
length of the northern claim o fthe
Mineral Hill group; there it crosses
the end line of the south central clam
of the Buffalo group, traversing the en-
tire length of that and the eastern
claim. and debouches into the man
gulch just below East Manhattan. Tue
float was found very close to the mouth
of this draw. From the mouth of tn
draw to the head on Salisbury Peap II
about a mile and a quarter.
The great number of people who have
been attracted by the find has help9G

Express Rates a Robbery

~ OLDFIELD joins heartily in the suggestion of the Saturday
Evening Post that the railroads themselves take over the ex-
- press business of the country and relieve the public of the ex-
tortion Of the privately owned express companies. This would not only
insure a saving in express charges to the business of the country, but
would make money for the railroads. There is no community in the
country that suffers SO much from the extortion of express companies
as Goldfeld. 1t is outrageous; it il a crime against business; 1T is
highway robbery.
The express companies are paying 200 per cent profit. There is
not another business In the country that can be considered legitimate
that is making such profits These profits come out of the people on
the one hand and the railroads on the other. If the railroads handled
their own express they could make a better profit and at the same
time give the people the same service at a lower rate.
To secure a lowering of express rates would be an excellent work
for the newly formed Business Mems Promotion Club, and we CON-
mend the subject to their attention.

Scully's Kimberly property is likely
to be financed in the east, according to
the Reno Gazette. The property is I'M
derstood to be a good one, but Scully
has had hard luck financially, under
taking entirely too much for his means.
The Reno Gazette of Monday says:
Two of the best known mine invest
ors and promoters of Philadelphia Wis

Good Christmas Promised

r>HIS is likely to be the best Christmas for Goldfed that the camp
has seen for several years. There is more money in camp than
for a long time, and it is more generally distributed among the
people. Everyone will have a little pocket money for presents, and
altogether merchants are expecting to do IN unusually large business
this season.
This is due to two facts: The payroll throughout the district is
larger than for some time, and gambling has been suppressed.
The latter cause has contributed to better business conditions in
Godfeld as much as the former. Heretofore, no matter how great
the payroll, the gambling establishments of the camp got a large pro-
portion and fourished and prospered at the expense of their patrons
and the regular business houses. Thousands Of dollars monthly went
over the gambling tables, only to be shipped out of camp by the gam
bling houses and diverted from the natural channels of trade and the
improvement of the community. This money now stays in camp; it
is spent among the merchants and goes to pay off bills They report
that collections were never o good as now and that cash sales ares
larger than ever before. One house that deals largely in hardware
and household supplies says that it's cash business is now just twice
what it was four months ago. A clothing merchant says that last
pay day he did the largest days business of any in the history of his
firm New places of different kinds r. starting up, and all because
there is now enough money to go around"
The curse of Goldfeld continues to be the mailorder business.
This shopping by mail - if carried on to any considerable extent,
will paralize any community. Goldhdd enjoys the unenviable repu-
tatnn of doing a larger mailorder business than any other town in
the country of its size. Easily a hundred thousand dollars annually
goes to outside merchants that ought to be spent at home, to the
building up of local business concerns and the general prosperity of
the community. Mail shopping should be stopped. A local senti-
ment against outside buying should be encouraged and everyone be
made ashamed of catalogue shopping.
To be sure, local merchants have not been able to carry the va
riety and sell at the prices of outside concerns. They have not car
rid the stock simply because the local buyer does not make the de-
mand necessary; and as to the matter of prices, Goldfeld has hereto
fore been compelled to get a higher price than other communities be-
cause of the excessive freights. Afr the first of the year, however,
freight rates will be much lower and people should get the benefit.
1t does not always follow, however, that lower retail prices follow the
lowering OF freight rates. Heretofore there have from time to time
