To Vote on Hospital

The people who we're circulat.
ing the petitions for the free,
holders to sign asking the com
missioners to have the proposition
of a county hospital voted on at
the general election, secured the
legal number of signers and pre-
sentrd them to the County Com
missioners when they met the
first of the week. This means
that at the general election the
people will have a chance TO vote
on making a county hospital in
Seward county at Liberal.
At a cost not to exceed ten
thousand dollars and to be paid
| for by levy of not exceed two
mills on the dollar for any one
year for all purposes. The bal
lots which will be used for voting
will be separate from the regular
bollots on which the candidate
names will appear and will be
stated about as follows: For .
$3.50 mill tax for a public ho-
pital and for maintance of the
same. Yes No ---
Of course it is understood that
low the question comes up that
very voter wheathr he be free
lolder or not will VOTE ON THE
MEASURE. 1t will readily be
cen that good many who do

any holdings here will vote a
raise of taxes for the man or
moman who has little or much
property. The required number
OF votes to carry the proposition
is a majority of the the votes cast.
Had the county commissioners
not been in favor of submitting
the question the law makes it
imperative that they do so if the
thirty per cent of the free holders
signed the petition, So no one
can blame the commissioners for
submitting the question. Per
haps there is no set of men better
qualified to pass on the financial
needs Of the county and they are
IN a better position than any one
to consult about cost of operstion
and probable cost of buildings,
etc.
That hospital is badly needed
here is not denied. The question
is: are the tax payers ready for
the thingl DO they receive the
greatest good from their money
which will be invested? Who is
backing the movements Are
they tax payers and people who
really would bear their portion OF
burden if the hospital were
erected. Fsom a humane stand
point is not the man who pays the
tax to be considered7 A hospital
would be fine and splendid thing

bat would it pay And if it did
not pay who would hold the sack :
viii the rules and regulations
which may be imposed cut out
the very people who would need
assistance and let in the very ones
who could bear the harden of
hospital expenses These ar e
pertinent questions and they are
things that every voter should
think about an d think about
seriously.
The argument that a lot of
little hospitals would be started if
this proposition does not carry is
not sound. What does it matter
if the small hospitals are started Z
Would not each man who started
his have to see that expenses we're
met and if he wanted to close, the
hospital he could do so. If he
found tbst it did not pay. 1T
would not be so with a county
hospital. If it were found to be
a loosing proposition and as a
rule hospitals are not paying then
the cost would always be accru-
ing on the county.
Think the matter over voter.
Consider wheather you who have
no properv have a right to say
man shall pay taxes for this OIL
not.

SALT LAKE PLANS
FOR FEDERAL AID
TO HELP SILVER
MEET AT COMMERCIAL CLUB
AND DISCUSS SITUATION OF
SILVER PRODUCERS.

y Tentative plans were discussed by
the Commercial club mining commit.
tee yesterday to ask the federal gov,
eminent to assist the western pro.
ducers of silver in practically the
same manner in which it assists the
farmers, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
The meeting was held during a
luncheon at the Commercial club The
following members of the committee
were present: w. A. Wilson, chair
man; Colonel M. M Kaighn, Duncan
MacVichie, F. v. Bobfish, Morris p.
Kirk, B.. N. C. Stott, Leo Branden-
berger, A. l.. Jacobs and George G..
Cowing.
The question of the present war
destroying the metals market, and
the situation of the producers of sill
yer with practically no market for
their product, was discussed The
proposition of the smelters to ad-
vance 25 cents for silver and pay the
remainder when the metals market
was established also came up for dis
cussion. The suggestion was made
that the Commercial club, through its
mining committee, attempt to get the
smelters and the producers to agree
on some basis that would enable both
sides to continue operations until the
metals market had righted itself.
During the discussion it was
brought out that the producers felt
that rs cents advanced for silver
until the metals market righted itself
would force many of the smaller pro
ducers to close down. Some of the
committee were of the opinion that
a better price could be advanced. At
this point Chairman Wilson suggest
ed that the federal government be
asked to aid the shippers in sim
liar manner in which it aids the
farmers.a Although no method was
outlined, 1t was suggested that the
government loan money or buy the
silver bullion.
The following subcommittee was
then appointed to wait upon the
smelters and bankers and to meet
today at noon at the Commercial
club: w. A. Wilson, Colonel M. M.
Kaighn. 3. N. G. Stott, Leo Branden-
berger and w. c. Alexander. Duncan
Macvichie, Morris P. Kirk and F. ".
Bodfish were appointed to assist the
subcommittee in its work.
The Utah congressional members
will be asked by kilograms to take
up the matter with the federal gov
eminent, and kilograms will also be
sent to other silver producing states

advising them of the action taken
and requesting them also to take the
matter up with the government.
Producers of silver bullion in Utah,
in view of the fact that all avenues
of sale are closed to them, are petit
tioning government officials to re-
move restrictions on government as
say offices which prevent them from
accepting gold bullion except when
the gold content is ten times more
valuable than the silver in the bull
lion. The local government assay
office is allowed to purchase gold
bullion only when the gold content is
ten times more valuable than the
silver in the bullion. This restruc-
tion is made by the government to
avoid paying express rates on silver
bullion, 1t is said. All bars sold to
the government assay office must
have at least 200 parts of gold and
silver and the gold value must be
ten times that Of the silver value.
The remainder may be base metal.
The Utah producers of silver bull
lion and precipitates claim that the
government is using more silver than
1t gets from the assay offices and
that it is buying this silver in the
open market. Since there is no
longer any open market the govern
ment has offered 81 cents for the
silver in the gold bars brought to the
assay Offices.
The producers have also telegraph
ed the mint officials at Denver rela-
tive to the purchase of silver bullion.
but as yet have received no reply.
The action of the producers came as
a direct result Of number Of them
receiving kilograms from eastern
shelters notifying the shippers that
the smelters would refuse all silver
bullion and precipitates and that they
would hold shipments that might be
in transit and that they might re-
ceive subject to the shippers orders.

COPPERPRODUCERs
ISSUE STATEMENT
ABOUT INDUSTRY
WHAT THE FOREIGN iMsRoeLIo
is DOING FOR COPPER
MINING.

The following statement was made
on Tuesday of this week by c. F.
Kelley, viceJpresident of the Ana,
conda Copper Mining company in
Montana, on the general situation:
"Curtailment has been made abso-
lutely necessary by reason of the
general conditions which prevail. For
nearly year the domestic copper
trade has been very bad, due to gen
eral business depression existing in
this country. The copper producers
have been kept going by the Euro
pean trade, which has been fairly
good, the greater part of the copper
which has been sold having been ex-
ported. During this time large cop
per stocks have accumulated, and the
producers have on hand very large
amount of copper, for which there is
no market in sight. The crisis which
has developed In European affairs has
resulted In practical suspension OF
international trade relations, rates of
exchange have been destroyed, and
1t Is impossible to carry on a foreign
business Under present conditions
1t is impossible to make shipments
to Europe, and it is likewise impos-
sible to receive payments for copper
which Is now being delivered. AS a
result our operations cannot be con-
tinued on a normal scale. The Great
Falls smelter, reduction works and
refinery will suspend operations at
once A curtailment In tonnage here
equivalent to the shipments to Great
Falls must be made. Tonight the
following mines will suspend opera
tons: Mountain Con-, High Ore,
Pennsylvania, Poulin. Badger State,
Tropic and Ella. Shipments will be
continued to Anaconda, and 1t is
hoped that no further curtailment
will be necessary.
81 wish to make 1t very clear that
the present curtailment has no refer
ence to any local conditions, as we
all hoped until the precipitation of
the present foreign crisis that opera
tons here would not be interrupted. !"
