LANES RADIUM BILL

SOfne Weeks hko NcfieutVu MI oP''iis'''
in one of these letters that Colorado had
nothing to fear from Secretary Lanes
suggestion that the National Govern
ment go into the business of extracting
radum from carnotite ores and selling
it to the hospitals. This view is fully
sustained by the bill dealing with the
subject introduced by Congressman
Foster of Illinois and which it is under
stood was prepared by the Secretary.
1t is a measure encourage mining not
hamper it. 1t provides that the carno-
tite lands shall remain open to the pros
pector. He may file upon it just as he
does now. subject to two conditions-he
must develope his claim and he must
sell his ores to the government at
price to be fixed by the Secretary of the
Interior. The Government binds itself
to erect plant or plants to handle the
ores and agrees to announce in advance
the price it will pay the miner for his
ore.
The critics of the Lane plan made
much of this latter provision, but ! ask
these gentlemen ''who now fixes the
price for which the Colorado miner
must part with the product of his labor,
the miner or the Smelter Trust?"
That question is easily answered by
anyone familiar with conditions in the
Western mining country. The Smelter
Trust has the miner by the throat in
every mining camp and his only hope
lies in rigid regulation of the smelters
of the state or in government ownership
of the reduction plants.
If | were mining for carnotite ore |
would rather take my chances with
Uncle Sam than with the Smelter Trust
or the Radium Trust The miner need
not fear that his interests Will suffer.
In the first place believe he may count
on Secretary Lane giving him a square
deal. because the sole purpose of Lane
is to get the largest possible quantity
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 the
production. In addition to this every
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 western prospector.
am unalterbly opposed to that brand
of conservation which locks up cur nat
ural resources and prevents settler.
from making homes on the public do
main. That's the policy that made the
term sPinchotism" odious to western

A Glimpse More Reassurinp.

Overwhelmed as we OF the United States
have been with the awful picture Of misery and
distress abroad as the result OF the war, 1t is
gratifying to learn from dispatches that there
are places in the war zone where the lot of non
combatants is almost normal; where business
Is proceeding and good spirits prevail. 1t is also
gratifying TO know. as the Great Eastern Rail-
way Magazine OF London discloses, of the aid
given by large corporations TO their soldier enl-
ployes and their families This railway posted
a "Notice to Staff" at the outset Of the war;
beginning thus:
II has been decided that the wives and families

On their return-those who survive the war
the employees will be reinstated In their old
positions or others as near equivalent as possi-
Bile. No doubt similar policies are being pur-
sued by other large concerns in England and
in the other countries at war, by which the mis-
cries entailed will be mitigated as much as possi-
BILE. In Germany. which is said TO be feeling
the effect OF the war at home less than any
country old age pensions are universal, so that
dependent war victims may be certain OF at
least substantial measure OF care and relief.
This OF course, will figure vitally in meeting
subsequent issues.

when the subject was before the legislature. 1t

the one course conducive to real and lasting
progress was to give up the downtown campus
in favor Of the agricultural college location
This is concedng that the university is to stay

Had the legislature taken It upon itself to
decide, consolidation would have been decreed.
But instead, under pressure Of interested real
estate spectators eager to sell land adjoining
the present campus at fancy prices, the brow
beaten lawmakers levied the necessary tax to
pay the cost and left It to be decided by popular
vote whether the money should be spent to build
up and develop one greater and consolidated
