THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The sweeping removals from the
faculty of the state university made
by the retiring board Of regents have
attracted much attention throughout
the state, and naturally enough the
linen removed and their partisans are
greatly aggrieved over the matter We
know nothing Of the specific causes in
individual cases which brought about
the radical action on the part of the
regents. But broadly speaking, It
seems to have been a case of men
drawing salaries from the state and
giving as little as possible in the way
Of services in return to the state. In
other words, to use a slang expression.

work Others had been in the uni
versity too long and had shown them
selves unable to adapt themselves to
the ever changing and exacting con-
ditions that must be met in a pro-
gressive educational institution I'm
der these circumstances the regents
would have been derelict in the per-
Torrance of their duties had they
failed to remedy the evil.
The state university should be
maintained at such high standard
of efficiency that it would be a pride
to every citizen of the state. 1t is am
ply endowed and the people of the
state have right to expect the men
selected to manage it to leave nothing
undone that will increase it's useful
ness and prestige. The course of in
struction should be so thorough that
no parent would feel 1t necessary to
send his son or daughter outside the
state for higher education.

RAILROAD UP PINE CREEK.

Railroads will go where there is
sufficient tonnage to insure profitable
operation For 20 odd years no one
| familiar with the district has doubted
that immense bodies Of ore existed on
Sunset. and If railroad had been ac-
cessibIe these ore bodies would long
ago have been developed. But there
was nothing to attract railroad but
the ore, and this would not attract so
long as II was unavailable for ship
ment The last two years have
changed the situation on Sunset Tun-
nels and shafts have changed pros
pective ore bodies into realities, and
half a dozen properties are now act
ually ready to ship as soon as the fa-
cilities are at hand. The result is that
the mine owners In that section have
the promise Of railroad the coming
summer.
1t seems now that the experience OF
Sunset is to be duplicated at Pine
creek. Like Sunset, for 20 wears the
mineral wealth of Pine creek has been
known in general way, but the pas
few years have actually demonstrated
the existence Of great and valuable
ore deposits, and several properties
are now in position to earn dividends
as soon as transportation is available
for the ore. While no definite state.
ment has been made by the railroad
officials, rumors seemingly we'll found

WHO MADE THE TARIFF BILL?

| To use word, not elegant. but ex-
pressive and fitting, the work of franz
ing the democratic tariff bill was ex-
tremely raw" The job has been
rushed through. hearings have been
denied practical men whose all de-
pended upon sensible handling of this
great question. President Wilson, a
novice in practical business and a
free trade theorist all his life, with the
immense patronage of this great gov
eminent In his hands and undistrib-
uted, has been absolute dictator in the
preparation of this important bill.
"Who made the tariff bill?" asks the
Seattle acknowledgements and then
II gives the following astounding facts
In connection with it;
THE report of the democratic COM
mittee on ways and means presenting
undertakes to remodel not only the
fiscal system of the government but
the entire industrial system of the
country. consists In great part of crit
icisms Of the policies under which
the United States has become the
greatest manufacturing nation of the
world. Indirectly it charges that Am
erican manufacturers have permitted
industry to stagnate, are unable to
meet honest competition. and have
failed to develop business along the
best and most economical lines.
1T may be of some interest to look
over the PERSONAL of this committee
and see how qualified the members
are to pass upon such questions as
these or to reconstruct the industrial
and fiscal systems of this great coun-
try along better lines.
"Of the IA democratic members of
the ways and means committee--the
only members of that committee per-
mitted even to learn of any of the de.

people MS expressed In the last cleo
ton or any other election. Woodrow
Wilson is minority president. The
vote he received was 100000 short of
a majority of the votes cast. The best,
therefore, that can be claimed for the
Underwood bill Is that 1t is in line
with the democratic campaign prom
ises. 1t does not even represent the
unanimous sentiment Of the demo-
Gratis, as shown by the opposition 1t
has already encountered from repre-
sentatives of democratic states.
The majority Of the people of the
United States voted last fall in favor
of maintaining the republican policy
Of protection. The differences which
divided the republican party did not
involve the principles Of tariff protec-
ton. Republicans and progressives
were dBFeeu OH tlldl question anu UOtIl
declared In their platforms in favor of
a protective tariff The combined re-
publican and progressive vote repre-
sented the overwhelming sentiment Of
the people in favor of protection to
American industries. That this vote
was divided and rendered ineffective
was due to the personal ambitions
and rivaries of individuals, and not
to any division of opinion upon any
essential principle of the republican
party. The Underwood bill has for
chilly brought home to both elements
of the republican party the folly Of
their course, and 1t will be the means
of bringing them together as the only
means of speedily undong the dsas-
trous work of the democratic minority

FAR REACHING EFFECT OF GOOD
ROADS.

The Importance of good roads has
taken firm hold on the people Of the
United States, and in all parts of the
country, north. south, east and west,
organized efforts, backed by state and
county governments and commercial
bodies, are being made to improve old
public highways and build new ones
There is nothing in the way of public
improvements that so directly benefits
all classes of citizens as the building
and maintenance of good roads. The
benefit is not limited to those who ac.
tually use the roads. II that wer,
true, officers In control of public funds
might well hesitate before appropriat
ing the money of the people to buil6
roads for the use of few The real
and lasting benefit lies in the inereas
ed value of taxable property, the cre-
alton of new property and the en-.
couragement of enterprises from the
operation of which all the people re.
ceive direct or Indirect benefit.
The active interest taken in the
proposed transcontinental highway
across this county by the county com
missioners, the board of trade and
private citizens can not he too highly
commended. Its construction, In adj
dition to bringing the advantage
enumerated above, would be the
means of bringing hundreds of people
into the Occur d'Alene district every
year who would probably never see
this great mining district without the
construction of such highway. Their |
coming means more than the mere |
transient money they would leave |
here though that would be no insig- |
nificant amount. They would see the |
opportunities for profitable investment |

as a rule they would be people who

Another benefit would be that the
building Of great trunk highway
would demonstrate the benefits of
good road building and give an i'm
petus to the construction Of other
roads to the isolated mines OF the dis
trict. We are aware that this class
Of road building has in the past met

MINING INDUSTRY AND THE
TARIFF.

The only serious menace to the min
Ing industry in the Occur d'Alene dis
trict Is the democratic tariff bin now
before congress The democratic
party declared in its platform upon
which President Wilson was nomn-
ated that the government has no con-
stitutional right to levy tariff for
protection, and promised, If success
ful at the polls, to proceed at once to
revise the tariff downward with the
ultimate aim of placing the country
on free trade basis. The democratic
party is entitled to credit for stating
Its position on the tariff in plain and
unequivocal language. and to further
credit, now that It has obtained con-
troll Of the government for proceed
Ing at once to make good its promise
to place the country on free trade
basis. There are men, and they con-
stitute the majority of the democratic
party. who honestly believe In free
trade, and with these we have no
quarrel. But there are large number
of democrats who do not believe in the
free trade doctrine Of their party, who
believe that its adoption would be
rninous to the Industries Of the coun-
try and destroy the prosperity of the
people, and yet who persist In using
their influence toward placing the
democratic party in power. These
men are either not sincere in their
convictions, or they do not credit the
party to which they claim allegiance
with honesty of purpose.
This class of democrats Is conspicu
ously represented in the Occur
dAlenes There is not lead or zinc
mine owner In this district who Is not
convinced that the adoption of the
democratic tariff policy will ruin the
lead and zinc mining industry If car
ried out to it's ultimate end, yet few
days before the last election a man
who represents the greatest aggregate
mining interests in the Occur d'Alenes
publicly urged the people of this dis
trict to support the democratic cam
didate for president and the democrat :
lie candidates for congress and the !
democratic candidates for the legis-
lature who would vote for democrat
ic senator from Idaho. assuring the |
people of the Occur d'Alencs, who de- |
pend absolutely upon the profitable /
operation of lead and zinc mines, that |
they need feel no apprehension as to
The effect of democratic success upon
the mining industry. That man Is
now In Washington trying to prevail
upon the democratic majority in con-
gress to let the present tariff on lead
and zinc In ore stand because the cut
by the Underwood bill would
be disastrous to the lead mining in
iustry. Either this man did not be-
|teve what he said before the election
pr he believed his party would disre-
gard it's solemn promise
In any event he contributed all he
could toward democratic success. and
ne will probably be confronted with
his own words when he appeals to
democrats in congress to favor the in 4
lustry In which he happens to be en-
gagged.
