Transportation Problem.

For million men, then 5000 railway trains!
This is assuming all modified at once as
they were in France and Germany.
And what are 1900 trains? Six Of them would be
a mile long II all 5000 were one long train 1t
would reach from New York to Buffalo and sixty
miles more-five hundred miles. Or from New York
TO washington and back Six such trains in
would reach from New York to California!

A Defense of AmbuIance Chaser..

Defense of Ambulance Chasers.
OMAHA, Sept 22-To the Editor OF
The Bee; At the meeting of the Ne
hraska state Federation OF Labor, | lis
tened to the plea OF John Towle, presi-
dent of the Nebraska Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, for the so-called wol kmen's
compensation law, to be voted on at the
November election. Mr. Towle's principal
argument for the law seemed to be that
It would save the laborlng man from what
he calls the Notwithstanding lawyers. "
l have never heard an injured employe,
who had recovered damages through the
aid of lawyer, find any fault with his
attorney, So far as have been able to
observe, 1t is the negligent employer and
his attorney who call the injured mans
attorney bad names
An "ambulance-chasing lawyer" as
understand Mr.. Towle, is any attorney
who represents an injured employe in
recovering damages from his employer.
The average attorney WIN recover for the
injured employe from ts.4 10 fifteen times
as much as provided by the so-called
compensation law And the injured
mans attorney will give his client from
50 to 70 per cent OF the amount recovered.
Under the compensation law, the in
Jured man may possibly get one-tenth OF
what he Is fairly entitled TO- and he may
get one-tenth OF what he would probably
get at the present time by bringing suit
while. under this so-called compensation
law, the negligent employer keeps the
other nine-tsnths OF what he ought to
give to the injured employe.
am stin in favor OF the attorney who

procuring fair verdicts. and am not for
the so-called compensation law

Preferential voting Next.

OMAHA, Sept. 23.--To the Editor Of The
Bee: Senator Dodge struck the keynote
when no said the direct primary law
should be amended, where needed, by its
friends and not by its foes. 1t took too
many years to upset the old gang-con-
trolled convention system, with its un-
democratic action, ever to return to 1t
after its discard.
People having taken another step in the
direction Of democracy will never sur
render It This suggestion is for those
who now are planning to cripple the
direct primary system.
Twenty years ago, while quite boy,
aspired to the legislature of Kentucky.
At that time 1 had never even heard OF
such a thing as direct primary but
that was one OF the planks of my short
platform. The politicians gaped in
wonder that such an absurd proposition
should be made. They said to me-
Whoever heard OF the people nominat-
ing their own candidates?" / answered
them, Whoever heard Of the western
hemisphere before Columbus sailed the
unknown main7'
There IRE those, you know, who cannot
comprehend an institution that has not
existed before. They seem to think every
thing always was Just as we see II today.
One of the changes that must come in
direct voting l believe must be in the
direction of economy. II It were possible
to hold one election only. instead of a
primary and an election It would save a
great deal OF time and money both to
the candidate and to the people. To ac-
complish this | would suggest the adop-
ton OF some form OF preferential voting
By this process only one election would
be necessary to complete the task OF
choosing public officers. Corrupt prac-
tees would be impossible, and it would
also be impossible for a minority candi-
date to be elected, since a majority would
be required In each case That is, who
ever succeeded in the contest would be
either the first, scond or third choice of
all the voters.
This plan would prove economical all
around, far more satisfactory to the
people as whole. and further in the
direction of applying the principles OF
true democracy L. ], QUINBY.

Our Way and Canada's.

During the year 1913 there entered the United States 38l.495 alien men who had been either farmers or farm laborers in the old world, according to writer m tbe Country Gentleman. Only 3 per cent of tbese men went to work on farm here. The rest crowded our already overcrowded cities. Tney did not go on farms where labor is greatly needed and where wages. on the whole, average up as good as in dustry, because the possibilities in agriculture have been crowded out of their vision. The government does not take the initiative in telling the immigrant about the opportunities on land. The aliens advisers in the in- dustrial centers. the foreign bankers, labor agents, saloon keepers, on the other hand, distinctly encourage the allen to stay in the cities where he is source of revenue to them. Different from the attitude of the United States toward the aliens is that of Canada. Canada selects it's immigrants. The Canadian government has agents abroad for that purpose. It requires the alien to go to a given destination. He is even escorted to his new domicie. The initiative which the Canadiar gov ernment takes in placing the imrni- grant on land, instead of allowing him to herd in the cities, adds materially to the wealth of the dominion. n.-Chi- cago Tribune.

smelter and the construction Ot a plant of 10000 to l2,OO0 tons day to treat ores running as low as O5 per cent from the Utah copper mine.
 "It has been asserted that about 100, ,OOOS a day has been lost for years by the four smelters operating in Utah. This is declared to consist of arsenic, sulphur, sulphuric acid, various metals in the volatile state, and many other by-products which could be utilized
 ''In the hearing of various smelter smoke suits it has been declared that it was impossible to break up the fumes so that a saving could be made, but each year has seen an advance ;n metallurgy until it looks as though within the next few years there will be found method of condensation of volatile matter.
 up to the present the smelters in the state have not produced sulphurlc acid because there was no market here for it. The only one offered, up to the time when it was decided to leach low grade ores, was for the treatment of phosphate rock for use as fertilizer. This promises to become large in- dustry in itself and will consume a large quantity of acid.
 ''It is probable that the American smelter company will use tower and running water for securing the acid. This is one of the methods which has been used in other places with con- siderable success. It is declared that the process of saving the acid is pure ly d mechanical one.
 "The only plant in Utah at present saving anything as by.prod ct from the smelter fumes is the United States plant at Midvale, where 1900, ,000 pounds of arsenic are beieg made each year.
 ''The Utah Copper company intends to spend within the next year some. thing like 2,OOO,0OOS in the construc- tion of a teaching plant. This will be placed in the vicinity of the present mills. It is declared that there are now something like 40,000,0O0 tons of capping at Bingham which can be utilized for treatment by the teaching process. This is carbonate ore which the management has been watching for years with the hope of some day using it. Much of the ore will carry as high as 0...5 per cent copper ore.
 "Whether the immense tailinys dump, in which something over 2S.- GOO, ,0O0 tons are impounded, will be available is still an open question. These tailings carry an average of a little less than nine pounds of copper to the ton.-Globe Silver Belt.
