The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-10-17

Secretary Lane, in his letter to Senator Walsh, chairman of the
senate committee on mines and mining, recommends that the bill be
not passed for the following reasons:
The expenditure required by law to hold unpatented mining
claims is relatively small Therefore, legislation of this nature is not
warranted and has never been favored except to relieve from the pos
sible consequences of some abnormal business or physical condition,
which might affect the ability of mining claimants to perform the labor
or make the required expenditure. am not advised that any such
condition now exists, and, except in connection with the passage of the
act of December I, 1913, excusng mining claimants in the Seward
Peninsula, Alaska, from compliance with the annual labor law for the
year 1911, there have been few or no requests " petitions received in
this department within the past two vars seeking such relief as is here
proposed"
From present indications, if the mining men of the west really
want assessment work suspended for this and possibly next year, their
only hope is in convincing their own senator's and representatives of the
necessity for such legislation, and by petition and personal letters to the
department of the interior and the committees on mines and mining of
the senate and house, proving their contention that the desire for such
legislation is general, and will prove of more benefit than seems to be
realized in Washington at this time.

No Likelihood of Exemption

There is practically no likelihood that this session of congress will
pass a bill eliminating assessment work N mining claims for the pres
ent wear. Correspondence between the secretary of the chamber OF
mines and oil of Los Angeles and western congressman leads to this
belief. In fact, there was some doubt III the minds of the directors OF
the chamber Is to the ACCESSIBILITY of advocating the passage of such
legislation; but it was their desire to give all the assistance they could
to the legitimate claimant, who was holding his claim solely for de-
veopment and not for purely speculative purposes, and in passing their
resolutions urging congress to suspend the mining laws requiring an
nual labor for this year, they were acting because of the present hnan-
cial stringency in the west and also because of the comparative stag,
nation in the mining industry during the past few years. The chamber
i, Just in receipt o. the following letter from Congressman Carl Hay
den of Arizona, which reviews the situation concerning the bills now
before congress:
4 am in receipt OF your letter of September 18th, and beg to say
for this year will be passed at this session Of congress. Some time ago
ment is necessary On legislation OF this kind. Secretary Lane tele-
directing them to report as to the necessity for this legislation. The
pears that the passage of a bill waving assessment work this year
would do about as much harm IS it would do good. "A great many
miners have been thrown out Of employment on account Of the
OF them could make a living doing assessment work for mining claims
should not be closed to them. enclose herewith an adverse report
made by the secretary OF the interior on the bill by Senator Smoot to
relieve claimants from the performance of annual labor.
Il have talked this matter over with a number OF western con-
eressmen, and while they all express sympathy for the claim owners
who have been financially crippled IS Il result of the wal in Europe,
vet the concensus of opinion is that a bill to exempt assessment work
on mines can not be passed at this time. shall be glad to notify you
promptly if there is any change in the situation"

GoldfeLd Is Libeled

There is an old saying that you have ITO go away from home to get
the news about your own community. This seems to be borne out by
a doublecolumn article in a Carson City paper telling of a mass meet
ing under the auspices of the parents and teachers association held at
the high school there. Among other things in the article we note the
following:
Miss CrHler read a paper on What Women Clubs Are Doing
For Betterment. and read letters telling of the DEPIORABLE CON-
DITIONS in Goldfeld which the womens clubs had taken hold of and
controlled by the appointment of a lady probation officer to police the
district
We do not know where Miss Criser got her information but we
DO know that conditions are not "deplorabe" in Goldfeld; that there
S no lady probation officer here and that none is needed. Libelng a
community is as bad as libelng an individual. Once the libel is started
it is hard to catch up with. If she was correctly quoted Miss Crlsler
grossly ibeled Goldfeld if she was not correctly quoted the paper in
which the misstatement appeared is guilty of the libel. AT any rate the
Tribune is taking the first opportunity TIC brand the statement as false
and hbeous.
Goldheld doesn't have to take off its hat to any community in the
state of Nevada in the matter of law observance. 1t is a town of high
class schools, peoped with law-abdng men and women o a greater ex-
tent than is usual under the same conditions, and the young people OF
the camp are not in danger of being grabbed by the devil, as indicated
|by the mythical letters Miss CrIer is supposed to have received from
here. If the time should ever come (Which we doubt when local con-
ditnns demand it. Goldfed will sound its own alarum. With condl-
tons IS they are at present in this camp the people of Goldheld en-
phaically resent outside interference which takes the form of hbeing a
law abiding community.

prayer with Senator Pttnan of Nevada, to see if we cannot save him
from the awful influence which the east casts over a man when he goes
to Washington. The Nevada senator is disposed to admit in his public
speeches that he does not approve of the land-leasing policy which
Franklin K. Lane and others are trying to put over" on the west, but
he nevertheless permits and condones the use of the entering wedge OF
government landordism in the case of Alaska. In his speech in the
senate of Sept. 22 he expressed regret that Senator Shafroth of Colo
RADIO (may his tribe increase) should decline to yield one inch to the
bureaucratic conspirators who are striving by honied words and evasive
pretexts to set a precedent for the future. Senator Shafroth is right,
as was his mighty predecessor in the senate, Henry M. Teller. When
the coa-leasng precedent is once a fat accombH in Alaska, all hell will
not be able to keep the same curse out OF the coal regions of Colorado
and out of the gold and silver districts of Senator Pttmans w state.
Mining men of Nevada, if you do not wish to be called upon in the
near future to lease your mines and prospects from a bureaucratic
tyrant in Washington. write letters to your junior senator and tell him
he is treading on dangerous ground.

DIGEST of Revenue LaU

Director William Harris of the bureau of the census, depart
ment of commerce, announces that a bulletin containing a digest of the
laws relating to the revenue systems of the state and local governments
has been completed and is now ready for distribution. The bulletin
describes in detail the different sources OF revenue i'll each state, includ-
ing general property taxes, poll taxes, the inheritance tax. corporation
taxes, the income tax and business taxes, licenses and fees, and in the
case of the general property taxes enumerates the classes of property
subject to such methods of assessment, equalization and collection, and
the statutory limitations of the rates Of such levies.
The laws relating to taxation. Is shown by the present bulletin
have undergone great changes since 1902, which was the date of the
last report on this subject issued by the bureau of the census. Among
the changes to be noted has been the creation of numerous tax commits
sions in the various states, having wide discretionary powers over the
administration of the work of local officials connected with taxation,
and full power over the assessment of the property of corporations do
ing business in two Or more counties Of the same state.

MOVEMENT
THEN

Twenty-Five years ago today
representatives of twenty-one
nations met in Washington to
lay down uniform rules for
ocean travel and traffic. 1t
was the first international
maritime conference. 1t was
worldwide, some of its men,
bers coming from such dis
tant countries as Siam, China
and Hawaii. The purpose was
voiced by Secretary of State
Blaine, who said: "The
spoken languages of the world
will continue to be many, but
necessity commands that the
unspoken languages of the sea
shall be one." In those days
the Languages of the seas"
were indeed many. Some OF
the rules were heritages OF
centuries back and in conflict
with the rules of other nations.
One of the first steps toward
making ocean travel safe was
taken by the American COM
mander, Maury, who mapped
the currents of the sea. Even
before the civil war he advo-
Gated that transatlantic ships
would follow certain lanes to
avoid icebergs and dangerous
fogs. The assembly adopted
these suggestions, and during
the eleven weeks which the
sessions covered many minor
points, such as fog signals,
limits of local draughts, the
seaworthiness of vessels, fixed
responsibility for wrecks, sys-
TENS of bouys and peacons, as
well as tests for sight and
color blindness, were made
standard throughout the
world.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-10-17

roday the 100000 and
more ocean travellers who cross
the Atlantic ocean every year
not to mention the countless
millions who travel seas In
other parts of the world, are
safeguarded by not only the
uniform rules whose founda-
lions were laid a quarter OF q
century ago, but many new
ones. Some are to overcome
new elements of danger
brought about by new discov-
cries in propulsion, and others
to regulate the use of new dis
coveries and inventions serv-
iceable in saving life at sea-.
Under this head comes wire
less telegraphy and submarine
bells. These rules apply to
all kinds of vessels, even to
the more than 100000 motor
boats that are estimated to be
afloat today in American Wa
tiers. Since the adoption OF
rules for ocean traffic the ratio
of wrecks was greatly decreas-
ed, although the number OF
vessels has increased, and in
some parts of the world the
seas have become so crowded
by constantly passing vessels
that they are almost congest-
ed. The largest percentage
Of wrecks occurs among the
vessels dependent upon sails
and tickle winds. The total
number of vessels of all kinds
wrecked along the United
States coast during 1913 was
$50, in which $1,721,212 in
value of ships was lost and SIS
persons persisted.

Denver Mining Record: United States Senator Key Ptnan of
Nevada is a old resident OF a mining state and a prominent citizen of
the greatest silver camp in the west. He is a mining man himself, like
his predecessor, the late Senator Nixon. His sympathies are with the
miner, as we'll as his personal interests. The people whom he repre-
serts at Washington are very largely dependent upon the wealth of the
mineral lands.
For these reasons it is hard for a western mining man to under
stand why Senator Pntman can Justify the introduction of the leasing
into the administration of the national domain. Those who are
of the west fully realize the necessity of development and the final de-
pendence of development upon a generous land policy. Everyone knows
that the chief incentive to the settlement of a new country is the oppor-
tunity which it holds out to the independent spirit to insure his own
fortune. The frontier calls for the pioneer, and the pioneer is a
definite type of man. The eastern economists and hypocrnical con-
servationsts, who pirate of the necessity o. cutting off opportunities to
speculate in the opportunities of the west, are merely spewing their
venom upon the pioneer and the builder. The psychology of the so
called conservation movement and its Incidental land-easmg policy is
$50 clear that we are bound to wonder at any western man who fails to
perceive it. 1t represents the tyranny of industrial and financial power
directed against the spirit of personal independence which still remains,
thank God. in the hearts of American citizens.
For this reason we feel disposed to get down on our knees in

Palace hotel which is largely owned by Senator Francis G. Newlands.
