CAPITAL Comment
BY CLYDE II. TAVENNER
from the Fourteenth District.

Grated with the highest regard for the
lives and safety of the miners, ana
the secretary of the interior is given
full authority to prescribe the mechan-
ical rules of mining. He also is en-
powered to prevent the waste of the
coat~ in the mining.
The bill embodies every feature
urged by conservationists for ten
years, and it contains no provisions
which are criticised by conservation
lists. Secretary of the Interior Lane,
who has long been an ardent conser-
vationist, on the day the conference
report on the bill was adopted by con-
gress issued a public statement con-
graduating the people of the United
States on having a congress in which
such an enlightened measure could
pass.
The position of the Pinchot conser-
vationists was stated by II. A. Stat
terry, secretary of the National Con-
servation association. He said:
THE bill adopted was substantially
the bill that passed the House. This
was the Ferris bill, and the Conserva-
ton association has not only endorsed
this bill, but in statements by Mr..
Pinchot has urged its passage. The
bill conforms to the principles advo-
Gated by the conservation association
for the last five years and introduced
first five years ago."
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of The
Associated Press. "A campaign to
raise British pensions and separation
allowances has been started by G. N.
Barnes, NJ. p, who proposes a mini
mum of one pound sterling a week for
the widow of every soldier and sailor
killed at the front, for the mother de-
pendent on any soldier and sailor
killed. for the wife of every soldier
also for every soldier and sailor per
manently MANNED by fighting.
Such an increase sounds small in
comparison with American pension
rates, but would mean a four-fold raise
for the English in most instances.
From s1.25 a week the widows pen
sion would be raised to So. Mothers
dependent for support on men who die
in active service are now unprovided
for. The wives of men at the front
at present get only s1.S5 a week while
the minimum weekly pension allowed
to disabled soldiers is So cents. Mr..
Barnes also proposes to double the
present allowance of % cents week
for each dependent child.
1t is pointed out that the nation has
to support these dependents in any
case, and to throw the main burden on
private charity does not relieve the
country of the cost. An adequate sep
aration allowance and pension would
also relieve the men who are offering
their lives for their country from the
| stigma of being objects of charity.
