Swatting the Wildcatter.

1t is doubtful whether the plan out
lined by the organization of the mining
interests of this state to do away with
validating results to any great benefit
in placing the industry on a more sub
stantial basis. The whole thing rests
on opinion. In every mining district
there is to be a representative whose
duty it will be to examine and report on
the worth of all mining properties in
the district which are being worked by
stock companies.
There are two sound arguments
against this plan. The first is that in
every district a man cannot be found
who is capable of judging the merit of
mining properties. The other argu-
ment is that no matter how capable the
man appointed to Judge, he cannot ''see
into the ground any farther than any
body else, and property that he would
turn down today might be made mine
tomorrow, or a property that gives
every assurance of becoming a mine
might prove a rank failure if not placed
in the proper hands.
The easy graft of the wlldcattet is
not in raising the money, bat it lies in
the manner in which the money is
spent. If all the money collected by
stock companies for mining operations
were spent in legitimate work on the
ground the country would have more
mines and a great many more people
would be reaping dividends from their
investments. IT takes 700 much money
in some companies 10 pay the officers.
The Boise organization might be able
to accomplish something ia the way Of
legislation. For instance full yearly

think Ilo is using crude methods in its
affair. For instance, it mailed its
letters so often and in such quantities
on the trains that the postofiice depart
meht in Washington ordered the mail
boxes locked while the trains are pass
ing through 10.
There is nothing like doing thing
right when it has to be done. Why
don't Ito get lot of private mailing
sacks, get somebody to buy postage
stamps at another town and peddle
them in Ilo and then get somebody to
mail them in Timbuktu? That way the
horrid Vollmer mark would not get on
their letters. OF course, that way
would class Ito among the rustic and
dry rot places at Washington, but it
would convince the department that
when il comes to the exhilarating and
thrilling pastime of fighting U. S.
postofiice. the little town of 10, Idaho,
can do the thing in the latest fashion.

Sherman's "Muck-raker. ,

Vice President Sherman reads tbs
riot act to class of good citizens OF
this grand and glorious country, and il
seems to please the vice president tc
call the good people he has under his
fire. 'muck-rsker. Now, 'muck-raker'
may mean almost anything in the hands
of the crafty politician. If politician
is out of Office and wants to get in, all
who oppose him are 'nuck-rakers;'
or if politician is in office and ought
to be kicked out, all citizens who are so
evilly disposed are ''muck-rakers -
All the good citizens of this country
who thought that they had endured a
high protective tariff long enough in
fostering the infant industries and

a party pledge that the tariff would be
lowered, Mr.. Sherman found to be

into hand-me-down legislation before
they vote, and the press is a muck

to say about what should be done for
the country at Washington.
Mr.. Sherman convicts himself. Out

SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1910.

The special committee, with Senator
 Hodge as it's chairman. which was ap- Epointed to investigate the high cost of diving, has made a lengthy report (which. in substance. accredits in fcreased prices to natural causes fhigher land values and wages. in- icreased population. decreased produc- ftion of articles of food, etc.-and gives ithe tariff clean bill of exemption From responsibility. This is as was expected The committee was evident lay organized for two purposes. viz. to iacquit the dominant party of blame, sand to exculpate the tariff. Some swhat singularly, the report gives com iparatively slight attention to increased
 production of gold. though it has been fcited by a number of economists as lthe principal. if not the only, cause of the high cost of living. This reason
 was given much prominence until the fact dawned that it was really the iQuantitative principle which was so lenergetically denounced when silver 'remonetization was proposed.
 i, The committees report is evidently 'designed for use as Republican cam fpaign document in the coming Con- fgressional elections. and possesses only fthe usual law value attaching to such 'deliverances.

| composition of bodies by color compar- ison, has never been successfully eIn- ployed in connection with the spark at the gap of plug in an ignition system of an automobile. The best spark is the one which dissipates the largest amount of energy in the gas. and the measurement of the energy cannot be accomplished by the simple method of gazing at the spark and deciding that it is good because it is yellow, or bet [ ter because it is blue.
 An automobile home OH wheels has been constructed by Howard Robert son, of Philadelphia, in which he will tour the west this summer with his wife and chauffeur. The interior las been arranged for sleeping by di- the day the chauffeur's bed is strapped to the roof of the car. The resting place of the owner becomes daven- port in the daytime. The windows are protected by screens and curtains. Cooking will be done on a portable stove that can be set up on the road side or used inside. if the weather is not fair. An ice chest and a full equipment of culinary appliances will make the tourists independent of ho- tels and restaurants.
 A very clever idea in the way of stopping speeding of automobiles in Michigan has been evolved by the Sec retary of State, who has sent out blanks to all townships and cities, with request for the names, addresses and other details of all persons who, with iH the past year have been arrested for speed violations. It is the inten- tion to compile this into a State black list, and have a copy on file in every city and township. so that as soon as person is arrested for speeding, it will be possible to ascertain if he has ever been arrested for the same of fense. and the details of the previous case. By keeping this record and list Up to date. it is thought that justices will be able to inflict the proper fines, considering the previous record of the offender, and in this way reduce the amount of speeding.
 The wholesale lowering of records witnessed recently at Los Angeles and Indianapolis has caused considerable confusion in the minds of many racing enthusiasts and the question as to which is the faSter-board or brick surface and which track actually holds the class records. is not clear to many interested motorists. A comparison of the records made at these two motor dromes shows, that taking every class geles one-mile board track proved faster at all distances save one mile and less. The reason a faster mark for one mile could be made on the In- dianapolis Speedway than on the wooden course is because Indianapolis has a two-and-a-half mile circuit, with mile straightaway stretches recurring no turns in this distance, while the Los Angeles track is a perfect circle one mile in circumference, thus re- quiring constant turns

"The announcement that the State Epoiice propose to secure the enforce Ement of the automobile law will" says the Hartford Courant, "come with as En1uch satisfaction to the respectable tan the State. 1t should not be forgot
 ten that every decent automobile own- CT suffers from the disrepute that the reckless and lawless bring down upon
 the new and delightful invention. ''
 The Courant adds:
 It has been the misfortune of the automobile law hitherto that it has
 been chiefly used as a means of secur-
 tng fees and fines through the process [ of traps and watchers, who have drop :. ped upon persons having no thought Of
 violating the law. but accidentally or dn time of complete safety running l a bit faster than the specifications. A reckless or drunken chauffeur on Main ketreet, going ten miles an hour, is a treal peril. but a careful driver going sforty miles an hour on an open coun- ffry road, with no other vehicle In Ieight, is no peril at all to anybody but himself, and mighty little to himself, If he has a good machine. But there kls no denying that there is today a Egreat and reprehensible disregard of tthe law. The regulations as to lights Fare ignored alike by automobilists and by bicyclists. The automobilists neg ,lect the essential rear light. and the abicyclists go without any lights at all ,dt is no uncommon thing for an auto mobile at night to come upon a bicycle which is running unlighted on the wrong side of the road, and yet it is
 safe betting that. in case of a collision,
 1t would be heralded as another au- ftomobile accident. Machines from out
 side of the State rush across Connec- i, ficut without any thought of placing
 the number in the front of the auto
 mobile: they are all liable to fine for
 such negligence. It is time to enforce
 full remembrance of and respect for
 the law.

Tn an address before the Illinois Bar Association. Friday. Attorney General Wickersham argued in favor of Fed eral regulation and control of all rail- way stocks and bonds. Declaring that the reckless issue of such securities is as demoralizing as lotteries. he con- tended that Federal control was an es- sentiaI part of the governments su- pervision of interstate commerce and presented numerous quotations from Supreme Court decisions to support his arguments. He said:
 Economists and courts alike have condemned the reckless issue of stock end bonds by railroad companies with out adequate considera tion. which has come to be generally regarded as an evil certainly as demoralizing in it's effect upon the public as the carriage of lottery tickets from one State to another. The twenty years period of railroad receiverships and foreclosures the reports of which fill many volumes of reports of decisions of the Federal courts. testifies eloquently to the prac- tical effect of such unwarranted is- sues of securities upon the ability of railroad companies to properly perform their functions as inStrumentalitieS of interstate commerce.: while the utter ance of stock for inadequate or ficti- tious consideration has furnished the opportunity for the most irresponsible and speculative control of these high ways of commerce. and has resulted in the injury which always follows a con- trol of property by those who have no real investment in it.
 Such control all experience demon strates, will not be generally exercised in the interest of the road and to in- sure such safe conservative manage ment as necessary to meet the require ment of the public by the proper dis charge of the obligations imposed upon the carrier by law. On the contrary it Is almost inevitable that such con- trol he employed for purely speculative purposes and to secure immediate profit to those in temporary control. It is this public aspect which lends force to the conviction that "watered" and bogus stock" is one of the great est abuses connected with the man. agement of corporations and it is this effect upon the fitness of the carriers to perform their duties under national Legislation that requires and justifies Federal supervision and control of the subject.
 The Attorney General argued that legislation to secure such control was plainly within the constitutional power extent of the obligations which a car rier might incur had a direct effect up- on the determination of the reasonable ress of transportation rates. and that the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission would be greatly facili- tsted, if, before stocks and bonds were 1ssued, the consideration therefor were
