For Bureau of Mines

The miners are pushing the bill for
the creation of a bureau of mines,
which passed the house and is now
In the senate. There can be no OBJ
lection to it The bureau is not given
regulative powers, but is charged with
the duty of making scientific investi-
cation into all the phases of mining
including the causes of accidents and
methods of prevention. 1t is an eff
fort to have the general government
do for the mining industry what it
has for long time been doing for
the agricultural in the way of scientific
investigation. Legislation to render
the discoveries and recommendations
of the bureau OF value would have to
be done by the individual states

Let the Party Stand for Justice.

The sugar trust has confessed it's
completely in the huge weighing
frauds and returned $2,000,O00 of the
stolen money to the government. The
total amount of it's stealings has never
been authoritatively stated. The Sun
fixes it at $30000.00 This systema-
tiZed robbery went on for years, but
high official, no director of the
trust, has been indicted for conspiring
to defraud the government. Does any
intelligent man believe that thievery
on such a gigantic scale could exist
for the profit of the trust without the
facts being known to responsible of
ficials? A congressional committee
would not be hampered by the statute
OF limitations. 1t could follow the
trail of corruption back to its source
and expose the system from its begin
nings. 1t could make known the in
fiuences that have protected the sugar
trust in its criminal operations and
make public the history of it's rela-
tions with the government.
Such work. undertaken in the spirit
of the Hughes insurance investigation,
might produce equally important re-
suits in the way of purifying politics
and purging a corrupt commerce.

No Popular Demand for Economy.

The drop in government revenues
following the panic of 1907 induced
congress to go as far as it ever goes
in the direction of economy. 1t re.
quested the president and heads OF
departments to cut down estimates in
the future. They have done so for
the next fiscal year.
The president having indicated that
money can be saved here and there.
the house of representatives promptly
proceeds to appropriate for other pur-
poses the sums thus saved and little
more. 1t has passed a $43, 100000 riv-
ers and harbors bill The senate
committee which has it in hand is
disposed to add s5,000000 to the bill.
1t remains to be seen whether Sena-
tor Aldrich. who says the government
is spending too much. will stop this
raid on the treasury.
There are men in congress who, TAX.
ing their cue from railroads and other
concerns which need supervision, pro-
test in the name of economy against
the useful outlay such supervision
would entail But of real economists
who would stop Improbable expendi-
lures there are few and they have no
popular backing. Neither a billion
dollar congress nor a billion dollar
session provokes a popular remon-
STRANGE, and yet the people have to
pay the bills. In one way or another
the government collects from them
the money which congress distributes
with liberal hands.
The people complain of high prices
and inadequate incomes, without rea-
liZing how much the situation is ag-
gravated by the vast expenditures of
the national government. If it were
to take less from them they would
have more money to spend. If they
could be made to see that, congress
would suddenly become economical.
Public sentiment would demand 1t.
That sentiment Is lacking and hence
there will be no economy in appropri-
ations. Congress will appropriate all
the money in sight and some more

HAS NO ARGUMENT
COLD FACTS DIsPRoVE FIGURES
OF ANTI-FRoTECTloN
Characteristic of Democratic States
manship an Evidence of Why
the Country Fears to Trust
the Party.

There is an ancient belief that truth
and figures are closely related. 1t Is
characteristic of Democratic states
manship that 1t is unable to compre-
hend either. Congressman Rucker Of
Missouri has been burrowing through
the new tariff law loking for instru-
ments vi anathema. and he has be-
come entangled in the multitudinous
arithmetic of tariff schedules even as
fat shoat in the intricacies of a
barbed-wire fence. All tariff laws.
whether low or high. are necessarily
sprinkled with numbers, and the
ability to calculate that twice one is
two is essential to their understand
ing. Far be 1t from us to insinuate
that Mr.. Rucker is lacking in mathe-
matical perspicacity. but when he
arises in congress and declares that
the Republican party is unfairly dis
eliminating against the poor in the
matter of blankets we are compelled
to suspect that a deficiency exists.
The cheaper the blanket the higher
the rate of tariff" he cries. The rich
who buy high-priced blankets, pay
only II per cent, while the poor, who
buy the cheapest blankets or none.
are compelled to give 165 per cent. ad
valorem to appease the insatiate ap-
petite for greed. BY the use of the
taxing power of government the Re-
publican party has practically ex-
cluded blankets from the homes of
the poor and robbed millions of good
citizens of one of the comforts of
life" B-r-r and It's such cold
winter, too! 1t would be serious If it
were true 1t would be funny if 1t
were not for the serious fact that
many people, lacking the means of
accurate knowledge, will believe him
And now. what is the truth?
The blanket schedule of the present
tariff law provides for duty of %
cent per pound and 30 per cent ad
valorem on blankets valued at not
more than 40 cents per pound; of
33 cents per pound and 35 per cent
ad valorem on blankets valued at
more than 40 cents and not more than
30 cents per pound; of 33 cents per
pound and 40 per cent. ad valorem on
blankets valued at more than so cents
per pound. That, in brief, is the pro-
vision O. the only schedule in the law
applying to blankets, and it is practi-
cally Identical with the same schedule
of the Mckinley and Dlngley tariff
laws. 1t needs no profound knowl-
edge of arithmetic to see that Mr..
Fuckers statement is not only un-
true 5ut is at tie opposite pole from
truth. Instead OF the cheaper the
blanket the higher the rate of tariff"
as he Droclaims, the lowest duty is
levied on the cheapest blankets and
the duty rises with the value, as, of
course, it should. 1t Is said in Holy
Writ that you cannot make bricks

sary, especially when his bricks are
