The following editorial from
the Globe Record hits hard
those denizens of the COM
munity who are so lacking in
public spirit as to give Moth
in return for the financial
gains they make.
The man who makes money in COM
munity has a duty to perform to that
community. 1t may be that he has made
his money by his superior business ability
and that he would have done as well any
where. This does not alter the case. IF
his gifts are great his responsibility is
equally as great No man was placed on
earth for the sole purpose of making
money, and the man who has this for his
ideal had better never have been born. 1t
is not an act of charity, but the perform
ance of simple duty for the man who
has made money to pass a little OF it on
for the benefit of the community. even
though he never expects to see dollar of
his contribution come back.
These are the sentiments of Connecti-
cut newspaper. but they express the SEN
timents of fair-minded people everywhere.
The man who gets his living from COM
munity owes that community both loyalty
and service. and any man or woman who
makes good living in town and gives
nothing to the welfare of the town. is a
leech. varying in malignity according to
the amount he makes off the people"
Nor is it rare thing to find these
leeches-men who never contribute to
public causes, men who are chemically
too busy to take time from their own
affairs to help in a public undertaking,
men who are never on hand to assist in a
good movement until it is time to reap the
benefits.
And as we said before, it would be a
god-send if communities were given power
to get rid of such parasites. They take all
they can get. slowing it away for their own
selfish purposes. and give nothing in return
except the accidental benefits that may re-
suit to the community from their pros
perity.

THE MINING OUTLOOK

Benson stands IN the CEN
ter of a richly mineralized dis
trict. copper, gold and silver
ores being found throughout
the several ranges Of noun
tains that guard the valley,
as well as the ores of lungs
ten in various forms and per-
haps other valuable if lesser
known minerals. The drop
in prices has caused a cessa-
ton of output of the last
named mineral, but those who
are best informed believe that
there will be a readjustment
and Standardization of prices
and a resumption of mining
of the ores in the not distant
future.
In the meantime there is no
slump in the value of gold.
silver and copper or lead.
Many good prospects, upon
some of which considerable
money has been spent in de-
velopment work, carrying the
ores of these metals, often
two or three in combination,
are to be found within a ra-
dius of fifty or sixty miles OF
Benson. The nearest pros
poets are less than half this
distance, with some proven
mines in the same territory
which it is reasonable to be-
lieve, with capital and skillful
management, would join the
ranks of the big producers.
This is all exclusive of course
of the big revenue-producing
mines OF the established COM
panies.
But it is in the mineral dis
tricts lying up and down the
San Pedro that Benson must
place it's hopes and base its
future as a mining center. To
accomplish this an influx OF
outside capital will be abso-
lutely necessary. Many who
have what would be conSld-
cred good prospects in any
camp in the world have spent
their all and must enlist out
side aid for further develop
ment. 1t is believed that the
next year or two will see a
great change for the better in
this respect in the surround
ing mining districts.

AERO CLUB TO TRAIN
OFFICER OF MILITIA
FOR ACTIVE SERVICE
VIII Require 1000 Years at
Present Rate to Equip
Efficient Aero Corps

Governor Withycombe has been noti-
fled by the Aero Club of America that
the Curtiss Aeroplane Company has of.
fered to train an officer of the militia
of each of the 4s states gratis.
As Commander-in.C Chief of Oregon IS
military forces he has been asked to
select an OrOegnian take advantage
I of this offer
The governor has conferred with Ad.
iutant General Geo. A. White, request
ing the general to take steps towards
the selection of an officer or private
whose training will be most valuable to
the Militia in this connection. The
training will take place at the Curtiss
school at San Diego, California. The
Aero Club states that such a course as
will be given the Oregon representa-
tive is worth $500.
Through the generosity of Emerson
McMillin, Of New York, the Aero Club
is adding 10 per cent to the $40O,
which will be contributed towards the
travelling expenses Of the aeronautic
student.
The Aero Club letter is in part as
follows:
"This contribution of the Curtiss
Company to the National Aeroplane
Fund will add 4S trained militia Of
ficers to our aerial forces as well as en-
able the militia Of most of the states
to take the first step toward organizing
an aviation section.
Conditions being as critical as
President Wilson states them, this
country needs Immediately five thous-
and trained ayiators Had this coun-
try reserve of five thousand trained
aviators, it would be in the happy
position Of the porcupine, which spends
its days in peaceful pursuits, harming
no one but is ever ready to defend it.
self.
"The aeronautical equipment of the
Army and Navy consists of less than
twenty aeroplanes in commission, and
dozen ordered which are needed to
replace some Of the aeroplanes in com
mission. The plans being considered
by the present congress aim to only
provide less than 200 aeroplanes to the
Army and Navy combined. No pro-
vision whatever is made to provide
aeronautieal equipment to the Militia.
"But it is being realized that if the
Army has only about 10 aeroplanes in
commission at the end of seven years, !
when il should have 1000; and the /
navy has only about 10 aeroplanes in
commission at the end Of five years,
when it should have 1000; at this rate
it would take the best part of 1000 |
years to supply the Army IS and Navy's
aeronautical needs, The Army, Navy !
and Militia need $25,000,000 for aero
nautics, Less than that will leave this
country behind the third and fourth
class powers, who now have many times
more aeroplanes than this country has.
"lt is generally appreciated that so
long as the Army and Navy are so
short of men, the militia forms the
backbone of our defenses. There is
also being appreciated the fact that
the efficiency of the militia can only
extend as far as the means provided
for equipment and training will reach.
