DEMOCRACY AND DULL TIMES.

The attempt of the democratic ad-
ministration to make 1t appear that
the European war is the cause Of the
business depression that envelopes the
entire country has failed, and the
levying of war tax" without a
war Is now exposed to the people as
a subterfuge to cover up deficit due
to the failure of the democratic tar
iff law. Who ever heard of war tax
without war, and who ever heard OF
a democratic tariff without a deficit?
The deficit was rapidly accommodating
long before there was any indication
of war, due to the failure Of the I'm
derwood tariff law to provide neces-
sary revenue, and some emergency
measure would have had to be taken
even If there had been no war. The
war was a godsend to the democratic
party in giving 1t an excuse for the
failure of the Underwood bill, but they
will not be able to convince the peo-
pie that the war was the real reason.
| And the democrats will hear from
the people on November 3. A party
that has shown itself incapable Of
framing a revenue measure that will
meet the requirements Of the govern
ment, and which tries to cover up and
conceal its failure and incompetency
by placing a direct tax upon the peo-
pie and calling it "war tax" at a
time of profound peace, can not ex-
pect a vote of confidence. This So
called war tax" will cost the demo-
cratic party the control of congress.

MINING IN IDAHO.

Shoshone county Is mining coun-
ty. 1t was bowling wilderness until
the discovery of gold attracted a pop
ulation, and gold mining and prospect
ing for gold lead to the discovery of
the lead-silver mines, and these have
been followed by the discovery and
development of great deposits of zinc
and copper. Practically the entire
county is now a great mineral bearing
area, and the large population is sus-
tanned by the operation of the mines.
There are some farming lands along
the streams which are wonderfully
productive but their cultivation Is
made possible and profitable only by
provide a market for the products Of
the soil.
Mining is the greatest single indus
try OF the state. attracts larger cap
ital to the state than any other In
dustry. and disburses more money In
the form Of wages and in the purchase
Of supplies and the products OF the
farm. In view Of these facts It would
seem that mining would have nothing
to fear in the way Of adverse legisla-
tion; that an industry that contrib
utes 50 much to the material pros
perity Of large number Of the peo-
pie would always b viewed with a
friendly attitude ana nothing would

COUNTY SAFELY REPUBLICAN,.

From all parts Of the county comu
the same reports of strong republican
sentiment which presages a complete
republican victory on November 3. The
situation Is not difficult to understand.
In the first place the county is norm
ally republican and the failure Of the
democratic national administration
causes every one to stick to his party
closer than at other times. But the
main factor in the situation 10 the fact
that business is dull all over the
country, factories are idle, mines are
closed down or are running on rcduc-
ed time and there is no prospect of q
change from these conditions under
the present administration. In fact
the administration tells the people
that there is no real depression, that
the alleged dull times is psychology
ical delusion, and that mere mental
effort will shift the man hunting
job into steady and profitable employ
ment and start the hum and hustle
of business throughout the land. But
the common everyday mortals who
still constitute the majority find 1t i'm
possible to scale the ethereal intellect
ual heights from which the president
looks down upon them, and in their
blind and unimaginative stupidity
continue to clamor for the return OF
the regular pay envelope and the full
dinner pail. And as Shoshone county
is largely made up Of this class Of
people-plain, practical and industri-
GUS people who ask nothing but a
chance to share in the prosperity to
which all citizens are entitled-it is
not surprising that they are simply
waiting for the day when they will
have an opportunity to vote a change
beginning with the republican county
ticket and going right up the line. In
times of financial and industrial dis
tress the people turn with confidence
to the republican party, the party OF
progress and prosperity.

DAY ON DUTIES OF CITIZENS.

This from the Day democratic or
gan Of Tuesday morning:
mo one but those blinded by hys-
terra or spite will seriously deny the
right Of any citizen to use his influ-
ence with his fellow citizen for the
election of his party candidates. and
the enactment into law Of the political
principles in which he believes"
No one will take issue with that
statement so long as the citizen uses
his Influence in a way that respects
the political opinions OF those he
would influence. But to have shift
bosses shove marked sample ballots
into the hands Of his employees, as
was done in the Day controlled mines,
Is not the kind Of influence good citi-
gems will use, nor does the success of
such methods lead to the administra-
ton Of the laws in the interest Of the
people. This talk Of the duties Of
citizens to participate in political az
fairs Is puerile at this time and is re-
sorted to in order to divert attention
from the charge which still stands un-
denied, namely, that at the Day-con-
trolled mines and mills all employees
were given marked ballots for the
primary election, and that since the
primary known republican employees
and others who were not voters In
Idaho have been discharged to make
room for democratic voters. This ev
identity is the kind Of participation in
his countrys political life" to which
the Day organ refers as applying "es-
pecially to those who are so fortunate
as to occupy prominent places in the
community" 1t is hardly to be ex-
pected. however, that the less FORUM
ate and therefore less prominent citi-
zens, who are still imbued with the
Anticipated notion that they are en-
dowed with certain inalienable rights,
will accept the Day view, although
circumstances will compel many Of
them to remain silent while register
ing their protest in the secrecy of the
ballot.

be done to hinder or hamper It. But
such Is not the case. There seems to
be a fixed hostility in the agricultural
sections of the state against the min
err which regularly manifests itself In
every session of the legislature In the
form of proposed laws which II en-
acted would seriously cripple the min
ing Industry and stop the investment
of capital in mining enterprises. This
attitude Is all the more surprising
when 1t is rememberee chat the peO-
pie Of the mining counties cheerfully
support all reasonable measures cal
culated for the advancement Of all
agricultural pursuits. The hostility
to mining can be accounted for In no
other way than that the agricultural
lists hear only of the dividends ana
know little of the enormous expendl,
lures before dividends are received
and the many more enormous expen-
ditures from which dividends are
never received. They also fail to take
into consideration the uncertainty in
separable to mining operations, and
also the great benefit derived by thuu-
sands of people who never share In
the dividends and who receive the
benefit whether the mines pay or not.
| Under these circumstances it be-
hooves the people Of Shoshone coun-
| ty to send representatives to the leg
islature who are thoroughly familiar
with the mining industry and who
have the ability and legislative ex-
perience to defend 1t against attacks
that will surely be made. The repub-
I lican legislative candidates for both
the upper and lower house are men
of that character and should receive
the support Of all those who desire
their votes to be counted In support
of the industry upon which the pop
ulation Of this county depends.

GOVERNOR HAINEs.

There has never been a chief exec
utive of the state of Idaho who had
more earnest and sincere backing by
his party for reelection than that
which is being given Governor Haines.
The reason for this Is that he deserves
1t. His administration has been just
what he said 1t would be-busness-
like and economical in all depart
ments, and free from the spectacular
and grandstand plays. Governor
Haines has worked hard and long IN
his efforts to solve the high tax ques-
ton and he has in a great measure
accomplished the task. He has acs
tually made a substantial reduction in
the state levy, and he has pointed out
in an exhaustive and most instructive
report where the remedy lies for fur
ther and larger reductions. Most Of
the high tax trouble is found in the
counties and school districts where
the burden has been imposed by the
people themselves, and It is therefore
up to them to tighten the burden. The
governor has shown his desire and
determination to do his part.
Governor Haines is said to be the
hardest working executive the state
has ever had. He puts in long hours
and during the regular business hours
he is busy in the executive Office or
meetings Of numerous state
boards Of which he is member

Hon but with quiet earnest de-

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

| In view Of the unprecedented record
of extravaganza made by the demo-
cratic congress which Is just about to
adjourn. and the similarly unprece-
denied record Of economy made by the
republican state administration In
Idaho the frantic appeal Of Moses
Alexander for votes based upon his
promise to save $1,0O0,O00 to the state
in the annual running expenses of the
government forms about the most
amusing spectacle that has been in
troduced into the campaign. The fall
ure of the Underwood tariff to provide
sufficient revenue was rapidly Great.
ing a deficit in the national treasury
and this was greatly accelerated by
enormous appropriations largely Of
the pork barrel variety. The result Is
that according to the presidents own
statement there will be deficit of
s105.000,000 during the present fiscal
year, and to make this up the people
are required to pay direct tax to the
government, sn-called "war tax" but
with no war. The people of the Unit
ed States have never objected to pay
ing a war tax when state of war has
rendered 1t necessary, and they never
will. but they will certainly show their
disapproval Of having to pay tax
under the guise Of war which is In
reality a measure to supply def
cheney caused by democratic incom-
potency and extravaganza.
Contrast this record with Mr. Alex
ander's prolific promises and 1t Is not
likely that the people will take him
seriously, particularly when they car
ry the contrast little further and
see the splendid record of economy
and efficiency made by the Haines ad-

district to Spokane for goods that
could be bought from local business
men upon equally favorable terms.
and It Is also true that some business
men, who above all others should
practice the home industry doctrine,
send out for goods that can be sup
piled in the local market. The Miner
has long preached against this prac-
tice, but 1t must admit without max
ing noticeable Roadway In checking 1t,
and 1t does not intend to preach an
other sermon on the subject now. All
that Is intended now Is to call atten-
tion to the protest that goes up in
Spokane when some outside concern
gets business that should go to local
business men. A few weeks ago the
commissioners Of Spokane county ac-
cepted the bid Of an eastern concern
to supply the county certain record
books because the bid was less than
those submitted by local printers and
binders. Whereupon the Allied Print
ing Trades council adopted the follow
ing resolution for the information Of
the commissioners and the public:
"Over IS per cent Of the members Of
this organization own their own homes
and are therefore taxpayers. and our
employees pay into the county treas
ury an average OF 1920 to $500 a
month as taxes.
THE reported saving to the tax
payers is about $500. No notice is
taken OF. the hardship It works on the
members Of this body. who are vitality
interested in the subject as taxpayers,
and the bid was let over the protest
Of prominent business and professional
men who pay over 20 per cent Of the
taxes Of the city of Spokane"
This protest was right, and the SEN
timent applies with equal force to the
Occur d'Alene towns as 1t does to
Spokane. Just remember this Incl
dent when the next Spokane catalogue
or salesman solicits your business.

The people of Idaho recognize the
value of the experience gained by Sem
|ator Brady during the two years he
has been member Of the senate. and
1t Is not likely that they will vote a
new man into the position. The ar
gument that Governor Hawley is In
harmony with the national adminis-
tration loses Its force in view Of the
almost certain election Of a republic
can president and congress two years
hence.

1t is quite common for great ,corpor-
atoms to be criticised for failure to
show an interest in the welfare of the
local communities in which they op-
crate, and In many cases this criticism
Is justified. But 1t remained for our
neighboring city Of Kellogg to be in
tested by rare specimen, as yet un-
classified. who devotes his energies
exclusively to condemning great
corporation for doing the very thing
that other corporations are criticised
and condemned for not doing.

According to reports from Murray,
John +. Murphy, who wants to be re-

Murray district. has been making a

1t may be true that the democratic
administration Is not responsible for
dull times. but It can not be denied
that dull times always follow demo-
cratic administration. Therefore If
the democratic party is freed from re.

charge OF being a hoodoo. In either
case the result is the same and the
people Will take advantage OF the first
opportunity to vote change.

AN UNFAIR RULING.

The members of the Minnesota
High School Board, to whom is
entrusted the distribution of state
funds to high schools that comply
with certain conditions, have
placed themselves on record as
opposed to giving any state aid
to schools where the teachers
wear a religious garb. They have
declared that they will abide by
and enforce this decision unless
otherwise directed by the Supreme
Court or the Legislature of the
State.
AS a matter of fact, there is
no legal justification for their
action as there is no law on the
statute books of the State of Min
nesota which prohibits teachers
in the public schools from wear
ing religious garb, or infringes
in the least on their right to
clothe themselves in any way they
please during the school hours.
The ruling made by the State
High School Board is nothing
more than private interpreta-
ton of what the members consider
the spirit of the constitution.
In the opinion of every intelli-
gent man, who is as solicitous for
the rights of his fellowmen as he
is for his own, this ruling of the
High School Board will appear as
an utterly unfair attempt to read
into the Constitution of the State
an Interpretation which is as un-
warranted as it is unjust to a
large number of citizens. It is a
palpable discrimination against a
class of teachers who have as
much right to teach in the public
schools as any other class of citi-
zens, provided they are otherwise
qualified, and who are just as
much entitled to wear distinc-
tive garb as any other teacher is
to wear a peculiar style of waist
or one of the hideous creations
Of modern fashion that passes for
