AUTOMOBILE TAX INJUSTICE
Occur d'Alene Press)

There is general protest among au-
tomobie owners, especially in the
northern part of the state, over the
payment of the auto tax which is to
be expended in southern Idaho. This
unfortunate condition exists as re-
suit of the state road commission law
which requires the money to be ex-
pended in counties that bond for the
purpose of building roads. The tax
money is then available for the pay
ment of interest on the bonds. This
Is a weak and unjust part Of the law
and should be amended to give all
auto tax revenue to the county in
which it originates. There are other
bad features of the law which must
receive attention by the legislature
and the way for northern Idaho to
get justice is to organize good roads
associations and see that justice is
done. We seem to be footing the bills
in many ways while south Idaho
draws down most of the benefits.

SOURCES OF DEPRESSION.
portland Oregonian)

| The people are not interested in the
prosperity of the United States Steel
corporation simply as corporation,
but they are deeply interested in the
prosperity of the steel industry. That
industry contributes materially to the
general prosperity and has come to
be regarded as the business barometer.
AS the steel trust controls fully half
of the industry, the statement of its
earnings indicates the condition of the
whole.
In the first quarter Of 1914 the
trust showed net earnings of $17,994,-
SS1, as compared with $23,O36,349 in
the same quarter of 1913 and $34,426,-
sol in the same quarter of 1912. 1t
paid the usual dividends by drawing
s6,2S9,644 from its surplus, while in
the first quarter of 1918 1t added ST.
O02,3O4 and in the first quarter Of
1912 $7,369,60O to its surplus after
paying the same rate Of dividends.
This is not merely showing OF de-
preston in the steel trade; 1t is an
evidence of depression in business
generally. This depression Is largely
due to cessation Of improvement and
extension by the railroads, which are
the steel manufacturers best custom
ers, consuming in normal times IS to
40 per cent Of the country's steel out
put. Railroads have ceased to buy
because their net earnings have de-
creased to such an extent that they
can not borrow money. Thus de-
preston results in the steel trade and
in the labor market and spreads thence
through all lines Of industry and
trade.

tories. Our wits" have not met with
those abroad for the simple reason
that our men will not work for such
low wages as are paid abroad. The

the worst of all, and there is no pros

The government is $3O,000,000 be-
hind In its balance sheet for the fiscal
year to date. Appropriations are on
a higher scale than ever, while the
prosperity Of the country Is being as
sailed on every side. That conditions
are no worse is due to the fact thnt
our manufacturers have been doing
their best to meet conditions. They
have seen their profits cut down and
vanish, but they have kept on because
they did not wish to see their organi-
cation broken up. Many thousands Of
employees have been discharged. This
city has more Idle men than at any
time in a past generation.
1t was as plain as anything could
be six months ago that such would be
the results, but the academic legisla-
tors at Washington believed that by
law they could make three and three
make seven.

"OlGclNG THE GRAVE OF IDAHO
DEMOCRACY"

That was an Interesting session Of
the democratic state central commit
tee in Boise last week, SO much so
that The Miner has felt justified in
giving a liberal space to it's proceed
ings In this issue, seeing that the local
democratic organ is not disposed to
enlighten its readers on the subject.
The occasion Of the meeting was to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton Of the chairman, Ben r. Gray,
who aspred to be United States mar
shall, failing In which he quit the po-
litical game, thereby giving the Nu-
gent and Hawley factions a chance to
measure strength in electing his sue
cessor. The Hawley forces were rep
resented in the committee by ex-Sen-
ator Perky, Frank Martin and Harry
L. Day, a rather formidable trio on
paper. John F. Nugent was there in
person to look after his interests, sup
ported by r. H. Elder, member Of the
national committee for Idaho and dis
penser of public patronage
1t was evidently prearranged plan
Of the HawleV leaders for each Of
them to nominate a candidate for
chairman of the committee in oppos-
ton to John T. Pence, the Nugent cam
ddate, and at the opportune time
withdraw all but one in the interest
Of harmony and make harmony ap-
peal to Nugent to eliminate Pence. But
the plan failed inglorously, for Mr..
Nugent's only reply to the appeal was
Vote" Pence was elected two to one.
The bitterness that was manifested
between the two elements of the party
was we'll illustrated in the heated ex-
clamation made by Ravenel Macbeth,
who shook his finger in the face of
Mr.. Nugent and exclaimed: "You are
digging the grave of the Idaho democ-
racy!" But Nugent kept right along
digging, evidently having in mind the
grave of the Hawley faction rather
than that of his party.

federal patronage is quoted as saying
that the time is "inopportune' for
making the selection. Further, Mr.
Elder is credited with saying that
certain formalties must be observ-
ed" before a postmaster can be APP
pointed. OF course we know nothing
Of the inner workings of the demo-
cratic machine. but to the ordinary
/, observer 1t would appear that there
being a vacancy to fill, the only for
mality Is to get an expression from
the patrons of the postoffice as to who
they want to fill it, and then appoint
him. But "for ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain" the democracy
Of Idaho Is peculiar.

NO ELECTION FOR POSTMASTER

So the people of Wallace are not to
have an opportunity to rule in the
matter OF selecting a postmaster. Ac-
cording to announcement in the local
democratic organ, the county COM
mitteemen for the four Wallace pre-
cincts got together and rescinded their
former action by calling the election
of for the following reasons, accord =
ing to the Press Times:
such action was considered neces-
sary in Difference to the wishes of
Robert H. Elder national committee
man, who considered the holding of
an election for that purpose at this
time inopportune, and stated that GER
tain formalities must first be observed
before the position can be filled by ap-
pointment." AaIM
This is highly Illuminating ex-
PLANTATION. OF course the action was
necessary if the usual method of MAX
ing appointments is to be followed;
but are we not being repeatedly told
by those who speak for the democracy
that the election Of postmasters is
truly democratic and the nearest APP
proach to direct rule of the people
under our present system? Possibly
the recollection of the Boise election
for postmaster in which the Hawley
candidate was successful has caused
Mr.. Elder to fear a similar result in
this city If the matter goes to vote.
Again, why should the call for an
election be pronounced -inopportune?"
Here is vacancy, a republican acting
as postmaster and drawing the salary,
with several loyal democrats eager
Tor the job, and yet the dispenser Of

Six months of the Underwood tariff

prediction made by the protectionists,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Presi-
dent Wilson's idea that it would be a
good plan to put the wits of the A
merican manufacturer against the
world is shown to be a failure. In
the last six months the nation has
lost $25,000,000 in customs revenue.
1t is believed that the losses will be
heavier in the ensuing six months,
since the wooden schedule has been in
operation only three months, so that
experts of the treasury were very
nearly correct in their figures.
In the six months we have lost ia
exports and gained in imports. We

COOLING AND THE SENATE.

Ex-Governor f. r. Gooding formally
opened his campaign for the senate in
speech at Twin Falls last week.
which is reported to have been heard
by quite a large audience and appears
to have been favorably received. Mr.
Gooding is an aggressive campaigner
and whatever the outcome Of the four
cornered fight his opponents will bear
unmis taxable evidence Of his having
been in it. Ex-Governor Gooding has
a long record of private enterprise and
public service upon which to base his
appeal to the people Of Idaho. He
came to Idaho many years ago and
has been actively identified with the
development of the state. He served
as governor two terms, and it was
during his administration that the
heads of the Western Federation Of
Miners were brought to Idaho for
trial charged with the murder Of ex-
Governor Steunenberg, the basis of
the charge being the confession Of
Harry Orchard, now serving life
sentence in the pententiary. Much
of the evidence introduced in the trials
was closely connected with labor trou
bles in Shoshone county, a fact which
brought the governor in close con-
tact with many citizens OF this cOur
ty. The arrest and trial of those men
placed a heavy responsibility upon
the governor and it required no small
amount of nerve to meet the issues
involved in the famous trials. Gov
ernor Gooding proved himself equal
to the occasion. He expects to speak
in every county of the state and his
speech in Twin Falls was the begin
ning of his campaign.

FUTURE OF MINING IN THE
CoEuR D'ALENE DISTRICT.

Business depression throughout the
country due to adverse legislation OF
other causes foreign to the mining in
dustry, may from time to time retard
mining operations in the Occur
d'Alene district, but these Interrupt
tons must Of necessity be of short
duration. The district has grown too
great, it's mineral deposits are too
we'll established, and the demand for
its products too persistent to permit a
backward step in it's development. A
quarter of century of steady deyel-
opment and production, while adding
millions to the worlds wealth, has en-
larged the possibilities of the future
and revealed the diversity Of the min
eral resources Of the district If the
record of the past has placed this
among the great mining districts of
the world, what will the future record
be since copper and zinc have come
to be important and rapidly growing
factors in the mineral output?
The door of opportunity for profit
able mining investments in the Occur
d'Alene district is wide open, for
never in its history has there been
more mining properties in course OF
development than there are today
and which gave more promise of en-
riching their owners. The opportuni-
ties are not limited to one mineral
product for their are great deposits
OF lead, copper and zinc yet to be ex-
plored, and improved methods of min
ing and milling have given CONNER
cial value to ore which few years
ago could not be probably handled,
At the same time the unsatisfactory
prices Of the metals have temporarily
exerted a depressing influence upon
the value Of undeveloped mining pro
perty and mining securities, situa-
ton which should appeal to men hav-
ing capital large or small for invest
ment in mining. The accomplishment
of the present producers Is certain to
be duplicated by mines yet to be de-
veloped, and as this process goes on
the chances for large returns on COM
paratively small investments will be-
come more rare.

ENTHUSIASTIC PROGRESSIVE

of the meetings was attended by the
Globe editor, as stated last week, on

to what real progressivism is. They

sake their party and chSse a VIRGO

fit of the democratic party. If it
should become necessary under demo-
cratic times for them to go into the
show business, they will select their
own manager to guide the enterprise,
and 1t will certainly not be the demo-
cratic party.

FREE TRADE PlNcHEs THE POOR
Clos Angeles Times)

When we import goods from abroad,
instead of manufacturing them at
home, it Is evident we are diminishing
employment for our own people. Half
a dozen laborers at the wharf can
handle imported goods which in the
making have given occupation to hun
dreds of skilled workmen. And the
consumer pays the bill in the long run
is bound to do so. The money that
used to go into the many pockets Of
our working people now goes into the
few pockets Of commission merchants.
That is the one big difference. That
Is where the free trade shoe pinches
the poor. A country is more prosper
GUS as the workshop than as the ware

Twas fought by the mothers of men.
But deep in a walled-up womans
heart
OF woman that would not yield.
But bravely silently bore her part
Lo, there was the battlefield.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or
thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
No marshaling troops, no bivouac
song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh, these battles, they last so long,
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on In the endless wars,
Then SILENT unseen-goes down.
Q We with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise

Were fought in these silent ways.

With a splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came
The kingliest warrior born!
