OAKLAND

Oakland, March "A great deal
of farm work is now being done,
which indicates that the farmers are
so badly discouraged after making
such a failure to get what his cotton
was worth last fall, but are trying
the harder to make a success out of
his toiling efforts to try again
Although | do not believe the energy
will be put forth in making this cot
ton crop as was exercised in making
last years crop. There certainly is
not any inducements being offered
the farmers that would encourage
him to plant an ordinary crop Of cot
ton again this year. This, think
is so much for the better, because if
there is no trap set he will certainly
not be caught in snare blindfoldeo.
In the Hon. l.. l.. Wagnons article
of the last weeks Times was some
excellent points which was defined in
not a brief sketch, but was arranged
so as to disclose to the public the
true facts concerning the S200,OO
bond issue, as he views it, also ~
revealed the fact that nothing but
very sensible man was author of
it., and | do admire the way in which
he so emphatically shows where he
stands on the subject, but it is not
hard to see that most of the points
in which he discusses have been
ironed very smoothly and all the
bright sides shining. Not that am
critic in this instance whatever.
nor am / trying to point out any
defective part or parts of his article,
which probably will have escaped tn
Scrunity Of the public, had | not men
toned it, but not so, | am merely
seeking information, not trying to
show my ignorance. Ever since |
can remember there has been no de
crease in taxes, no, they do not di-
minish one cent, instead, it is a grad
ual increase every year. This is no

sum to support him and his family,
and appropriations for this and for
that and new officers to be added

extra mills to dispose of them. And
now, in the face of all this we are
told that by adding 100000 in
debtedness to what the county al
ready owes, will not raise taxes any,
if this is true, fail to catch the
point.
If the value of land will be in
creased by the construction of these
good roads, then what is to hinder
the taxes from being raised also, for
it is a sure fact that man pays
taxes on his land just according to

IT'S UP TO YOU, MIR. VOTER!


Tho question of the good roads
bond issue is squarely up to the voters
of Union county. On April 6, 1915,
just about six weeks from now, the
question will be decided at the bal
lot box. | am sincerely, honestly
and selfishly in favor of the bond
issue. There are many others
equally as honest and just as selfish
as am |, who are opposed to the
issue. Let's be honest about it; is
it not more or less question of
self-nterest? With most of us, at
any rate, it is. | lust naturally
want good roads because | believe
it will help my business more than
it will hurt my pocket, and it
will afford me a comfortable jour
ney instead of an uncomfortable one
Does any man blame me for this?
What is more sensible than to ego
after" what you think will help you?
That's my ticket. If thing is
morally right (and no one has said
the bond issue was morally wrong)
why may not one seek to possess
what he desires?
Now, human nature is very human
Don't you find it so, brother? And
are we not all very much alike? l
believe so. Let us get down to bras;
tacks. Let's take things as they are.
Will this bond issue hurt the poor
man? | am going to put myself
in the shoes of the poor man
(Strange to say the shoes fit very
well, too.) Let's say | am very
very poor man, right down at the
bottom. (Truth is, I am mighty nigh
right there.) Well. Rice, very poor
man, what objection to the bond is
sue? Why, none; am selfish
enough to be willing to let the prop
erty owners build the roads. I am
glad to have them build them. |

CORDOVA COPPER EARNS MILLIONS
 \ MONTH

While the earnings of the Kenne- colt Copper Co. for the four months ended Sept. 90 amounted to $3,500,000, the actual profits for this period will probably be increased to S4,000.O0O, due to the fact that the earnings Of S3.5OO.OOO include the unsold copper which was inventoried at 15 cents. This copper will be sold to a higher figure, since the copper market Is now IS cents, or better.
 Kennecott's mine production for the four months ended on Sept. 90 was 31 900, 900 pounds or at the rate Of more than 90,O00,OOO pounds year The production in September was approximately S,OOO.O0O pounds.
 The Alaska Steamship Company has bought two steamers, which will be used to carry the Kennecott ore to the smelter on the Puget Sound.
 Kennecott's ore is being shipped to the Tacoma plant of the American Smelting & Refining Co.,, and to Gar field, Utah, for treatment, the Taco ma plant being unable to handle the entire output of the mine. The ore that is smelted at Garfield is sent to Perth Amboy for refning.-Wall Street.
