Vote For the Road Bonds

On Tune goth there will be held in Esmerada county a special cleo
ton to vote o the proposition of issuing bonds in the sum 0 $4,000
the money to be expended on the roads of the county. The county
commissioners have announced that if the bonds carry the work of re-
pairing and rebuilding the county roads will be advertised and the con-
awarded to the lowest bidder. They are authority for the state
ment that the law will be carried out to the letter and the work will be
done in a thorough and businesslike manner. 1t is believed by the
commissioners that after $4,000 is expended on the roads OF the county,
it will only require a nominal sum yearly for their upkeep.
The matter of good roads is one of vital Importance to any COM
munity, and the Tribune believes that the taxpayers of Esmeraha
county will be practically a unit in favoring the project now IN hand.
The heavy rains of last spring did great damage to the roads of this
county and also worked havoc throughout the state OF Nevada. In
other sections of the state the repair of roads is now being given at
tention BY the authorities, and Esmeralda county should not lag be-
hind. B.,
There are several angles to consider in this matter of good county
roads. In the fry place there ire many more automobiles in use IN
this locality now than formerly, especially on the part of men connected
with the mining industry, and the stage lines are a great convenience TO
the travelling public. In order to secure efficiency there must be good
roads. Another consideration is the outlook for the future. While the
Lincoln Highway is officially supposed to go across the northern part
of the state, the route from Ely through Tonopah and Goldheld to
southern California is in high favor with transconhnental auto travellers
There is no doubt that next year there will be an unusual amount OF
automobile travel from the east to the coast m account OF ne Dan
Francisco and San Diego exposhions, and If the word goes out that the
road through Goldfeld is in 6rst-class condition there will be many
tourists to entertain. -"
In a recent issue the Denver News said: How many dollars is
Denver losing through its donit-care-a-darn attitude toward the present
condition of its roads? Many an automobile trip from Colorado Springs
to Denver. and the other way, has been abandoned in the last few weeks
simply because w e are not doing what w should do to keep the hlgh-
ways open" p.
The above is a sample Of the interest taken in the matter OF good
roads in other states. The Tribune believes the people of Goldheld and
vicinity will at once sense the importance of having the roads placed III
good condition and will vote the bonds by a big majority.

Dividends Paid by Mines

That the mining industry of this country is on a substantial basis
is shown bv the record of dividends. Here we have the evidence n
concrete form. During the five months of 1914, ended with May 81
American metal mines (nt including iron and MINOR metal nlnes) TO
the number of I4 paid dividends to shareholders in the total sum OF
S,5044z26. That these mines have been operated prohtaby is el-
denced by reports made to Mining and Engineering World, which show
that since incorporation they have enriched their shareholders to the eX-
tent of $50, 49,, 1o4 O a combined issued capital of $7S4,5o4,57o. This
is indeed a remarkable record, and when it is considered that there are
hundreds of companies operating mining properties at a profit but
which do not make public their reports, and which have paid millions in
dividends, it is convincing proof that mining IS now carried Oh IN
America is among its leading industries. Then, too, there are the dis
bursements of the securitiesholdng corporations, six of which have
paid out so far this year S1oSSs,67o, and since incorporation sI7o,
SooI26.
OF the 1O4 companies mentioned above twenty -four are copper
producers, all but. two operating properties in the United States. These
twenty four companies have paid dividends this year totalng $780,
25S. Since incorporation these companies have to their credit in divl-
dends paid not less than S4Io,443OSS on a combined issued captaiza-
ton of S24o5I60I5.
Seventy three of the above Io+ companies operate properties
cassed as gold sivcrlead-zinc producers and they paid dividends dur
ing the five months period of ~SI26o7,25I. To date these companies
have paid S2zI. 3Ioo32 on an issued capital of S227702SI5. Forty-nine
of these companies operated properties in the United States, nineteen
in Canada and five in Mexico. The foty-nine United States companies
contributed Sz,z54zI5, the nineteen Canadian companies S4.S24-
oo5. and the five Mexican companies $6IS44I. The forty-nine United
States companies have total dividend payments to their credit of SIo5t
64z, $50, the nineteen Canadian companies $55,240o35, and the five
Mexican, $2o42440I.
The metanurgical works. five in number, were able to divide among
shareholders so far this year S5,25o.222, Since incorporation these

Legislative halls of the nation. The real goat so to say, is the American
people and their Representatives at Washington.
Geographically, Colorado IS a large state. In the matter of popula
ton we are relatively small. How much does Colorado alone weigh II
the counsds of a nation of which she claims not more than one pei
cent of tn. citizenship? But Colorados social problem, which after al
affects but a very small part of the state, has been successfully saddled
upon the backs of the remaining 90 per cent OF the people. Its poll
tical manifestations are now more openly observed at Tarrytown, N. Y.
the seat of the typifed enemy of the so-caned proetariat-the estate o
the richest man. Colorados misfortune and want of preparation fol
the event have enabled a clique of socialsic unionists to put one over
on President Wilson and the people who elected him.
Events of the past month throughout the country bear out in many
instances the contention of the Record that Colorado is being used by
the enemies of law and order to "put one over" on the country as
whole. Witness the taking of women and children to the east by Ber
Lindsey, the demogogue, and the parading of them in Washington and
New York. Witness also the viuperaive outbursts of the l. w. w
aeitators. There can be little doubt that the enemies of law and order
forced a psychological time and then took advantage OF it. Among
these agitators is Vincent ST. John, who recently, in a public utterance
reiterated his belief that the destruction of property and human hfe-o1
the government itself-was justified to secure the end for which the
l. w. w. is aiming.

Colorado Used as a Pawn

Those excellent citizens of Denver and Colorado who are deeply
grieved over the Humiliation of their state should put on a broad smile
and tell the world that it is the United States as a whole, not their COM
monweath, which is reapng the fruits OF laborie politics in the Trim
idad coal fields. Defense of Colorado is unnecessary; indignant gather
sovereignty, ar Sc much waste of emotion in the wrong direction says
the Denver Mining Record.
1t is not always that officers of the law, newspapers and others
sense the real meaning of a movement that is started ostenSbly to over
come a local condition, but in reality is more general i'll its scope. 1t
seems to the Tribune, however, that the Denver Mining Record has hit
the nail on the head in sizing up the Colorado industrial situation. Dig
cling deeper into the coal strike trouble of the centennial state, the
Record says:
"As the light streams in upon the turbulent events of the last sN
weeks in Colorado, it becomes very apparent that the whole incident is a
'put-over' engineered elsewhere for its national effect in behalf of the
laborite cause. Colorado was probably chosen because OF her weakened
financial condition and because of a situation at the state-house which
whatever that elusive term may mean, but the ends of political socialism
and the purpose to array the classes of the country i'll bitter strife, one
against another, have been encouraged throughout the United States
nv the example of a threatened civil war in Colorado. The citizens OF
the centennial state have thoughtlessy permitted themselves to be made
the instruments of a sort of stageplay; men of the Upton Sinclair type
are laughing in their sleeves, not at Colorado alone, but at those SEN
timental editors of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other large
cities who have been taken in by the cry of social and industrial JUS
tice 70 the discontinue of the whole nation. 1t is not Colorado, but the
entire United States which has been made the butt OF this recent poll

COURT DECLARES
Judge Pueh Criticises Loan
Shark Agreement on Fin
ing N. L. Chew.

n. l.. Chew. manager of the n. L.
Chew Company, 704 18th street north
west recently convicted by jury in the
Police Court of violating the loan shark"
law, today was sentenced by Judge Pugh
to pay fine of 500.
The defense gave notice of taking the
case to the Court of Appeals on a writ
of error. and Mr.. Chew was released on

upper court.

Williams and Taggar conducted the

and Patterson, for the defense, however,
argued that Jail sentence ought not to
be imposed. They declared that some
time ago they, together with the de-
fendant had drawn up a stipulation with
the prosecuting attorneys. in which they
had furnished information as to how
MIR. Chew was conducting his business,
although the names of no borrowers were
furnished the prosecution. They held
that Mr.. Chew under the circumstances
and through their advice was not violat-
ing the law.
The prosecution argued that Mr..
Chew had openly continued to violate
the law" and declared to the court
that he had refused to furnish the
names of persons to whom he had
made loans. They said that Mr.. Chew
had made loans at an excessive rate of
interest and also that he has failed
to settle with any borrowers under the
provision of the law allowing the re-
payment of only three-fourths of the
principal when illegal interest has been
charged, and has not returned 'one dollar
of the interest so charged"
Refuses to Give Jail Sentence.
Judge Pugh. in summing up the
case, declared that he did not feel
that he ought to single out one indi-
vidual and send him to Jail, while the
prosecution had brought fifteen or
sixteen other loan men into court and
allowed them to depart with a fine.
