PRACTICAL PLAN IS PROPOSED.

The Copper Era gladly endorses the following sensi ble editorial from the Florence Blade:
 There be unfortunate disposition the the legislature handicap mhrng in this state perhaps of unreasonable prejudice against corporations Mining s because of natural condi- tions necessarily remain, for generations to follows therefore, that the material welfare of the be best promoted and conserved by giving to mining all legitimate possible Any legs laon tending to handicap the deveopn of the state greatest resources is i'll advised
 The mining industry must be made of course, to bear proportion the burdens of government because participates equally with all other industries in the benefits conferred and protection vouchsafed by ment. But this be reached through i'll advised and drastic legislation that is destructive instead constructive. The only in to psh this desired end without killing the goose that lays the golden is through an equitable income tax to De enforled by commission In fact believe that taxation, be equal and just must be based upon in The value of form of property, for market is based upon the net earning capacity the It is and always has been conended by every fairmnded citizen that form of property it's portion of taxation the support of governdent. But that just proportion" cannot be ascertaned by giving property arbitrary value

PROTECTION CANDIDATES WEAK
lDouglas international.

No man may be a formidable can didate for president this year and un- dertake the protective tariff policies that has brought the republican party to it's knees. Col. Roosevelt has been trying hard to straddle his issue for sometime and is still to some extent a-straddle the fence. In a speech the other day he said that he was in favor of protection, but undertook to duil the point of this remark by saying that he wanted protection that would help the working man of the country
 A month ago he was willing to go no further than to declare that he was in favor of a square deaP' tariff.
 There is no possibility for the working man getting any benefit from a pro- teotive tariff now any more than he has received a benefit of this kind of tariff in the past. While the pro- tective tariff has, under the fostering care of the republican party, made Emillionaires trust combinations galore no one can point to where there has been any benefit to the laboring man, or where such benefit may be expect- ed from such a policy in the future.

BROTHER PERK|NG
IS CAUTIOUS
(By Senator James A. Reed, of
MissourD.

Chicago, Sept. 30. - notice that
Brother Perkins is eriticizing Cover
nor Wilson for not expressing his posi-
tion on the tariff and trust problems.
1t is hardly to be expected that any
thing that Governor Wilson says
should meet with the appreciation OF
the man who organized the Harvester
Trust, and who has been engaged in
various enterprises which have fat
tened upon the tariff
If Brother Perkins viii examine a
little more carefully however he will
find that Governor Wilson has been
sufficiently specific on the trust ques.
tion.
Mr.. Perkins is engaged in the or
ganization and management of mo.
nopolies. This is what the democratic
party says regarding his business:
"A private monopoly is indefensible
and intolerable. We, therefore, favor
vigorous enforcement of the Grim
inal, as well as the civil, law against
trust and trust officers, and demand
the enactment of such additional leg
islation as may be necessary to make
it impossible for a private monopoly
TO exist in the United States"
Governor Wilson has repeatedly
squarely endorsed this declaration in
our platform, and has stated;
Until monopoly is abolished, until
it is destroyed, the government is not
free. And until the government is
free, it cannot serve you or any man. .
This ought to be sufficiently plain
to enlighten Brother Perkins. OF
couse it does not satisfy him, because
if Wilson is elected, the policy will be
carried out and then Brother Perkins,
and men of his ill, will be engaged in
defending themselves in the civil and
criminal courts of the United States.
They will be too busy to be either
nominating or electing presidents.
Right here want to stick pin.
i have just stated why Governor Will
sons utterances do not satisfy Per-
lSins. Let me tell You out Of Perkins
own mouth why Roosevelt's declara-
tion pleases him.
Mr.. Perkins stated, on August 9TH,
1912, in the Chicago Evening Post
"The Roosevelt trust proposition,
in opposition to that of Senator La
Toilette, is that the big corporation
is the natural development of indus

WOULD ABOLISH
THREE SCHOOL
Ewers White Asserts Attendance Does
Not Justify Their Maintenance
BY the State.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 30.--Ewers
White, one of the republican members
OF the state board of agriculture, has
started movement to do away with
some of the state schools which have
not had enough attendance thus far to
justify their continuance.
According to his figures there are
three state schools with a total attend
ance of seventy-seven pupils, for which
$4,000 was expended last year, in
Guiding the school of mines at Wilbur
ton, with thirty-eight students enroll
ed, thirty of them from LeF'lore coun-
ty, and a faculty drawing $12,400 in
salaries and the agricultural school at
Warner, with twenty pupils, maintain
ed at total cost of $4,000, or $500
per pupil, he says.
He has also prepared figures to
show that a total of $775,000 is paid
out for state school from which less
than $1,000 children, or less than /
per cent of the total number in the
state, receive any benefit. while the
SOL 900 children who never see state
school get only $332,0OO from the state
1t is asserted that the average cost
of schools over the state is SIC per
pupil, while for the state school it is
5000 per pupil. At MeLoud, Mr. Whites
home, there is consolidated school
with an attendance exceeded by only
four of the state schools, where the
cost per pupil, he says, is only $14.90
If the legislature fails to work out
reforms along the line of reducing the
number of state institutions, Oliver H.
Akin, member of the third legislature
from Cleveland county, said today that
the initiative and referendum would
again be resorted to. Those behind the
first movement are waiting, he says
ito see what the legislature will do
Should the league again take up the
question, it will De handled along dir
ferent lines, and probably deal with
the institutions from another view
point

BOXING CONTEST
THURSDAY NIGHT

The next event on the pugilistic
calender " scheduled for Thursday
night when "Whirlwind' BrIdgeman
meets BILLY" Marrs in 10 round con-
test. This match has been brewing
for several months. 1t was scheduled
to take place last spring but was car
ried over the summer because terms
could not be agreed upon.
Brldgeman started as a preliminary
boxer and waded through this class
in whirlwind fashion, from his style he
received his name.
One Round" Bishop lasted but
round and half; Young" Shaw last
ed four; Young Jack johnson, 'the
hackman's hope" went to dreamIand
in the sixth round of scheduled 10
round bout. George Hyatt scored six
knockdowns in the first round but the
"Whirlwind" came back smiling and
forced George to quit in the fifth.
Mars claims that he will dispose OF
"Whirlwind" in short order but then
as Bridgeman says, so did the others
and see where they landed" Mars
will be at a disadvantage because this
will be his first appearance In the ring.
However he is taking no chances but
is training faithfully and should at
least give "Whirlwind' q run for his
money.
