UNJUST LAWS AIMED
AT MINING INDUSTRY

salt Lake Mining Review. Every
man OF wealth has his enemies, as
ma every successful man in any line
OF business. No matter how squaie
he has been, nor how honestly he
has made his money or attained his
success. he has many detractors
men and women whom he has never
even seen. much less wronged. And
all OF them will do him an injury
when the opportunity is presented
if il can be done with safety TO them
selves. The reason can be summed
up in one word-jealousy 1t is the
jealousy and the dislike OF the un-
successful for the successful.
Mining is an industry the very ma
tuIe of which causes jealousy among
certain kinds of people. You have
met the knockers. and so have We
hundreds Of them. One direct result
OF this is the detrimental legislation
which always crops up when a per
iod OF prosperity, such as the pres
,nt time. is enjoyed by mining. Peo-
pie forget the long years of strug-
Cling against odds which most com
panies must go through, and the
thousands of dollars expended with
out an iota OF assistance from state
or nation. before the humble pros
pect becomes mine; and just as
soon as il begins to pay, they are
ready to help pass freak laws by
which its owners will be depri ad oi
the lust reward of their persistence
and sacrifices.
Any such legislation finds thou
sands of unthinking partisans The
only way to combat il is for the min
tng interests TO stand together and
vote as a unit against any such laws
and to work strenuously against their
enactment. If the railroads. maehin-
cry houses and other interests in tn
west. the prosperity of which IS a.
rectly due TO mining, will stand D..
the industry and see that their en-
ployes do the same, any such leg
slation viii be defeated. and the
areat industries of the state will re-
main prosperous and continue then
advance.
DO not trust your mining friends
Ia beat such legislation. They can
ro, do II alone. Work against il
and vote against it yourself
