PARTY GOVERNMENT

Editor Day Book-The city council
has been spending a day and a night
in making budget. This relates to
the pocket of every citizen of Chi
cago. How many voters will pass
over the sporting page and consider
something Of real Importance.
The budget deals with $9O,OOO,O0O.
This is $45 for each man, woman and
child in Chicago. Where does the
money come from and for what Dur
pose is it to be used?
The council does not expect to get
$9O,OOO,0OO. But it expects to follow
the wastefuI and prof1igate policy of
all past administrations and get every
dollar that can be squeezed from the
people by taxes that come ultimately
from the labor and capital of the city.
Millions are stored up in the trac-
ton fund which came from a two
cent tax on street car users. Street
car users are mostly men, women and
children who work for wages that
barely sustain life. The bulk of the
fund come from the poor, who need
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-01-21


ing, poor shelter and from lack of OPP
portunity to earn decent living.
There are millions in the water
fund. The bulk of it comes from over
charging the mass of the people for
the water they use. These funds are
a constant temptation to the pOliti-
clans that we put in Office. They
look with longing eyes upon this
plumber and seek some legal way to
divert it from it's legitimate purpose
to swell the plumber fund that goes
to maintain our rotten system of gov
eminent by political parties.
Parties do not govern, but always
misgoVern. They do not seek to bene-
fit all the people, but simply to per-
petuate party existence and party
power. So to turn out one party and
put another in is to perpetuate rob-
berry under another name.
Party government should be abol-
ished, especially in municipal affairs.
Pointing with pride to the record Of
any party is accentuating our ignOr-
ance and calling attention to a
shameful history of bad administra-
ton of public affairs.
The voters who permit such condi-
lions should devote a little of their
time to getting a knowledge Of public
business. It is their business, and if
they set about it they can have it
done so that efficiency, economy and
honesty will replace the present
prof1igate and wastefUl system.
It is a good time for us to begin
thinking now. Here is this S90,0O0,-
900. Where does it come from? The
greater part of it comes from the
labor and capital that produces the
wealth of the city. Some of it comes
from monopoly. The tax-eaters are
ever seeking to tax the wealth-pro-
ducing forces more and lessen the
burden upon monopoly. They are

NINE IS A FREAK NUMBER

(From the Philadelphia Ledger)
 There are some curious facts and 'ancies connected with the numbers The number nine is, perhaps, the first as regards such experiments. When you once use it in multiplica-
 ion you can't get rid of it. It will urn up again, no matter what you 10 to put it down and out.
 For instance, twice 9 equals IS; add and l, and you have 9. Three dimes 9 equals 27; 2 and 7 make } again. Go on until you try II times 9-99. This seems to bring an exception. But add the digits- 3 and 9 makes IS; and again 1 and make 9. Go on to an indetermin- able extent and the thing continues. Take for example, 450 times 9 equals 4,050 and the digits added, make once more. Take 6,000 times 9 equals 54,000, and again you have and 4.

CREATED MENTALLY

When we have faith in the law of opulence to spend when necess- ary our lasc dollar with the same confidence and assurance as we would if we had thousands more, we have touched the law of divine SUD- ply. A stream of plenty will not flow toward the stingy, parsimoni- ous, coun ting thought; there must be corresponding current of gen. erosity, n-mindedness going out from us. One current creates the other. A little rivulet of stingy mindedness, weak, poverty current going out of ourselves, can never set up counter current toward us of abunance, generosity and plenty. In other words, our mental atti- tude determines the commencement which comes to us. Wealth is created mentally first; it is thought out before it becomes reality.
 No mind, no intellect is powerful or great enough to attract wealth while the mental attitude is turned from it facing in the other direct ion
 Our pinched, dwarfed, blighted lives come from our inability to tap the great source of supply.
 The Creator never intended that man should be pauper, drudge or slave. There is something larger and grander for him in the divine plan than perpetual slavery to the bread-winning problem.
 Y Stoutly deny the power of adver- sity or poverty to keep you down. Constantly assert your superiority to your environment. Believe that you are to dominate your surround ing, that you are the master and not the slave of circumstances. Every child should be taught to expect prosperity,to believe that the good things of the world were intended for him. Weekly Unity.

IRON-ORE DEPOSITS
 NEAR NOME

Considerable local interest has been shown in deposits of iron ore in an area that centers about 25 miles northwest of Nome, Alaska. Last year Henry M. Eakin, of the United States Biological Survey, Sur vey, made a hasty examination of some of the more important prop critics in this locality and his report has just been made public by the Survey in Bulletin 622-I.
 Five groups of claims are held in the iron-bearing district, but little development work has been done on them at the time of the examination, so that it is not pos sible to estimate the quantity of ore available.
 Those who are interested in the iron ores have proposed the con struction of a railroad from the vicinity of the properties to the coast along the Sinuk river valley. The route is apparently practicable and would give a down grade all the way to the coast, a distance of about IA miles.
 A copy of the report may be ob- tained free on application to the Di- rector of the Geological Survey Washington, D. c.

PLACER MINING IN SEWARD
 PENINSULA

A new element of progress has entered into the mining industry in Seward Peninsula in the develop ment of economies that render grav- els of lower grades available for exploitation, says Henry M. Eakin, Survey, in report on placer mining in Seward Peninsula, recently pub lished by the Survey as Bulletin 622-I. Among these economies may be mentioned the removal of hazard ndredging operations, by systematic prospecting, the reduc- tion of overhead costs by forma- tion of larger companies that oper- ate number of dredges under the same superintendency, reduction of fuel expenses by use of internal combustion engines burning crude oil, more efficient use of steam in thawing frozen ground, and a closer attention to economy in the com missary department.
 In 1914, forty dredges, with an average daily capacity of 42,000 cubic yards, were in operation on Seward Peninsula, and employment was given to 1,200 men for an aver age season of 100 days. The total production Of the placers has an es- timated value of $2,700,000.
