vides that the carnotite lands
shall remain open to the prospec-
tor. He may file upon them sub
ject to two conditions. He must
develop his claim and he must
sell his ore to the Government
at a price to be fixed by the Sec
retary of the Interior. The Gov
ernment binds ITSELF to erect a
plant or plants to handle the ore
and agrees to announce in ad-
vance the price it will pay the
miner for his ore.
The critics of the Lane plan
made much of this latter provis-
ion. would ask these gentle
men, "who now fixes the price
for which the Colorado miner
must part with the product of
his labor? Is it the miner or
Or the Smelter Trust.
That question is easily an.
swere by anyone familiar with
conditions in the Western min
ing country. The Smelter Trust
has the miner by the throat in
every camp and his only hope of
relief lies in rigid regulation of
the smelters State or in Govern
ment ownership of the reductions
plants.
It is true that the trust has not
seen fit to reach out for the car
notite ores, but it would exper-
ience little or no diffiulty in doing
so. ,r
If were mining carnotite ore
l would rather take my chances
with Uucle Sam than with the
Smelter Trust or the Radium
Trust. The miner need not fear
that his interests will suffer. In
the first place. l believe he may
count on Secretary Lane giving
him a square deal, because the

dollars from the allotments of
the more populous states of the
East and North and distributed
it among the Western state.
The Committee finally agreed
that l might offer this amend
ment on the floor Of the House.
l did so and it carried by an al
most unanimous vote. Under it
Colurado's allowance is increased
about $4,000 a year, and all the
other Western states also benefit.
The sentiment for the bill was
so strong that this was the only
amendment of Importance which
mustered q majority. OF course,
we will not abandon the fight for
a grant of land for read purposes.
We may succeed in inserting
that feature in the Senate. l am
confident we can secure the coil
currence of the House.
So long as Uncle Sam insists en-
retaining title to half the aera of
the western Commonwealth he
should be willing to contribute
his share of the cost of construc-
ting roads.
LANES RADIUM BILL.
Some weeks ago l ventured
the opinion in one of these letters
that Colorado had nothing to fear
from Secretary Lanes suggestion
that the National government
should go into the business of ex-
tracing radium from carnotite
ores and selling it to American
hospitals. This view is fully sus-
tanned by the bill dealing with
tt i, subject introduced by Cong
ressman Foster OF Illinois and
which it is understood was pre-
pared by the Secretary.
1t is a measure to encourage
mining, MOTTO hamper it. 1t pro-
Cheyenne record., 1914-02-19

sole purpose of the Secretary is
to get the largest possible guam
tity of radium in the shortest
possible time, and he has sense
enough to know that a fair price
will stimulate production while
an unfair price will retard pro-
duction. In addition to this,
every Western State has two
Representatives in the U. S.
Senate and many representatives
in the House and every one of
these men would be ready and
willing to do battle for the West
ern p,ospeclor.
l am unalterahly opposed to
that brand of conservation which
locks up our natural resources
and prevents settlers making
! homes on the public domain.
That's the policy which made the
term "Pinchotism" odious in
western ears. l welcome the
policy of Lane which frees the
miner from the grip Of the COM
bine controlling the treatment
process and-assures him GER
tain market and a fair price for
his ore.
l would suggest that before
our commercial organization or
mining associations adopt any
more resolutions this subject
they procure copies of the Fos-
ter Bill and bestow on it the
study it deserves.

War Tax.

The war in Europe makes it
necessary to raise money for
the United States by a war tax.
President Wilson went before
Congress Friday and asked it to
raise 100 million dollars by war
tax. This is necessary because Of
the fact that there are no i'm
ports. The new tax is only to
meet the present emergency.

BOOST WITH THE BOOSTERS.

Boost and the world boosts with you
Knock and you on the shelf,
For the world gets sick
Of the man who'll kick,
And wishes he'd kicked himself.
Boost when the sun is shining,
Boost when it starts to rain
If you happen to fall
Don't lie there and bawl
But get up and boost again.
Boost when your town is lively,
Boost when it's dead as sin
No battle is won
By who'll run,
So stick to your team and win
Boost for our business campaign,
Boost for the thing that's fine
For the that's found
On the topmost round,
Is the booster every time!

NEW YORK EIGHT HOUR
RAILROAD LAW INVALID
L. s. Supreme Court Decides
Also That the Semi-MOnthly
Pay Act Is Legal

WASHINGTON, May 25--The Supreme
Court speaking through Justice McKenna

State law limiting the hours OF service
for employees operating railway trains
to eight. In another suit involving sec.
ton 10 OF the labor law of that State.
which requires seml-monthly payments OK
employees. the court in an opinion by
Justice McKenna held the statute TO be
valid exercise of the police power OF
the State.
The two suits To- test the statutes were
brought by the Erie railroad. The Su-
preme Court held In the case OF the hours
OF service law that IL had been super
seeded by the Federal law on the subject.
The Supreme Court to-day In reversing
the New York Court OF Appeals Incl
dentaly rejected III BE tLs,inct claims
put forward in support of the validity
OF the statute.
II was urged on the court that the
labor law was a valid exercise of the
states police power in rg~'IlHting "A cor
poration chartered by the i ie Of New
York. IL was also urged ~. the New
York statute limiting the hours in one
day to eight did not conflict with the
Federal law prescribing nine hours but
merely supplemented IT, This the court
rejected.
Finally the point was urged that this
case arose after the passage OF the Fed

The case involving section 10 OF the

from putting the law into effect.
