WILSON WILL GET THE OSTRICH
VOTE OF OREGON.

A correspondent of the New York
World, writing from Oregon, has this
paragraph on Wilson sentiment in the
Webfoot state:
Oregon will go for Wilson by TO-
600 votes. Wilson sentiment is in the
air in Oregon. There is no war SEN
timent in this state. In fact. oregon
lacked 500 men of filling up her full
quota for the national guard"
We are not willing to concede that
the above is a correct statement; on
the contrary, we are confident that the
electoral vote of Oregon will be cast
for Hughes. But the main point in
the above quotation is the statement
by inference that the failure of the
state of oregon to furnish its quota

WILSON DECLINED TO ENDORSE
EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

Woodrow Wilson, while president of
Princeton university was requested
by Professor Frank Parsons OF the
bureau of economic research, in Sep
tember 1905. to join with others in
signing this declaration:
Il. We favor the S-hour day.
"2. Believing that the S-hour day
means longer and richer life, fair
er diffusion of wealth and power, a
better citizenship and higher CIV
ilization through leisure for educa-
ton, recreation, civic and social life,
we welcome each step in the progress
of the S-hour movement and earnestly
hope for the success of the Typo
graphical unions in their efforts to
secure the S-hour day."
Woodrow Wilson refused to sign
either of the propositions, saying:
at seems to me that nothing of
this sort can be decided thus in the
abstract and that no valuable conclu-
sion can be arrived at except by a
real discussion of specific cases."
This Is what Woodrow Wilson then
really thought of the S-hour day
what he probably now thinks about
it, when permitted to think free from
the prospect of an election.
What will he think after March l.,
whether elected or defeated?

The Miner has repeatedly called pub

of the commissioners in defense OF

There can be no division of opinion
on the proposition to provide suitable

been Illegally awarded, will require

WoRkMEN's COMPENSATION ACT
VETOED BY GOVERNOR.

The republican majority in the last
legislature passed workmen's COM
pensation law which was killed by a
veto from Governor Alexander. So
important was the enactment of suca
a law regarded that Governor Haines
appointed a commission to hold hear
ings in various parts of the state at
which all persons interested were Civ

ideas on the proposed law and thus
be a guide to the commission in
framing it. Employers of labor in all
parts Of the state were heard, as were
also the representatives of labor or
CARNATIONS In addition to determin-
ing the sentiment of those most di-
reetly concerned in the law, the COM
mission thoroughly investigated the
laws in other states and secured tes-
timony in regard to the practical OPP
Grafton Of the laws. The result was
that the commission which was COM
posed of both democrats and repub-
licans, was in position to frame a law
that would meet the requirements n
the state of Idaho. And they did
frame such law and it was passed by
republican votes, but when it reach

LEGAL RESIDENCE AS A QUAIL
FIcATION FOR OFFICE,

Since the Day daily has regarded
the legal residence of the editor of
The Miner of sufficient Importance to
call public attention to it, the editor
of this paper will go into the subject
o step further in the hope that his
example may be emulated by others
who have found it desirable to change
their abode. Some two and a half
years ago the editor of The Miner
filed on a homestead in Twin Falls
county. At that time he was mem
Der of the Wallace school board, and
before going upon the land he resign
ed his position on the board for the
reason that his change of residence
disqualified him for the office He has
lot voted in this county since that
time and will not vote here until he
finds it desirable to reestablish legal
residence in Shoshone county. But as
the editor of this paper is not a can
G.date for office, his legal residence is
not matter of public interest and is
here referred to merely as a case
somewhat analogous to one that is
absorbing public attention.
Johnny Murphy" as he is affec-
tionately called by the editor of the
Day daily, is holding the office OF
county commissioner from the first
district and is the democratic candi-
date for reelection to that position
from the same district. The law OF
Idaho specifically requires that a
county commissioner must be a resi-
dent of the district he represents
Mr. Murphy is not resident of the
first district, and is therefore not
qualified to hold the position now, MOI
is he qualified candidate for reelec-
ton. Mr., Murphy is a resident Of
Wallace, which is in the third com.
missioner district Mr.. Murphy him
self has removed all doubt as to his
legal residence by stating under oatf
as a witness in the Rossl trial that
his residence is Wallace. He should
ty commissioners when he changed
If he is reelected his eligibility will
doubtless be tested in the courts.

of men for the national guard is proof
of the Wilson sentiment. Is it posi-
BILE that the patriotic spirit of Oregon
has dropped so low that 1t will per-
nit this Islander to pass unchalleng-
ed? Has the patriotic spirit of the
nation deteriorated to such an extent
that the candidate of a great party
rests his case upon the sentiment that
is opposed to enlisting in response to
the call for our countrys defense?
President Wilson may welcome sup
port from that quarter because he
needs the votes, but he will not be
able to point to it with pride. The
situation in Oregon as outlined by the
World is deprecated by Life, that
sprightly publication which with sin
gular inconsistency is supporting Mr..
Wilson for reelection after having
condemned his policy on every ques-
ton of Importance since he entered
the White House. Life says that ac-
cording to the showing made by the
World, Wilson is going to get the
ostrich vote" and describes that vote
as: 1.-The anti-war sentiment that
finds expression in failure to sup
port the national guard when that is
our only reserve force is the same
kind of sentiment that hides it's head
in the sand and says there is nc
storm"

MR.. scHWAB AND PROSPERITY.
(New York SUM

We print below certain utterances
of Charles M. Schwab in the course
of an article in System:
"The business world recognizes that
our trade today is the result solely Of
the impetus given by war orders. To
maintain any other position 1t is ne
cessary to resort to the most trans
parent sophistry.
"The real problem will not be faced
until the war contracts begin to ex-
pire and the momentum of our pros
perity to die out This period, rough
ly speaking, will be within six months
to year after the close of the war
By that time we should have new
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-10-26

The editor of the Day daily, who is
the democratic candidate for state
senator evidently does not take kind
ly to having attention called to his
brief residence in this county and to
his intimate utilization with the Day
interests. This is quite natural. But
having posed as the special champion
of the mining industry and the rights
of the workingman, the voters very
reasonably want to know how long he
has been among us, and who have
been his close associates, thus en-
abling them to form an estimate of his
equipment for the herculean task he
appears to be eager to tackle. He ex-
plains his candidacy by saying he
realizes some one must make the
fight for the protection of the unde-
veloped mineral resources of the
state" and that his election would
go long way toward giving labor a
workman's compensation law that
would meet the needs of the state
Having been resident of Shoshone
county for possibly year and half,
during which time he has been en-
gagged exclusively in editing the Day
daily and to repairing Day political
fences, the voters should have no diff
ficulty in forming correct estimate
of his fitness to represent them in the
upper house.

planned his veto by saying that the
expense of administering the law was
too great. This in brief is the reason
that Idaho has no workmen's com
penastion law; Governor Alexander
saws the state can not afford it.
Let us see how the law works over
in Montana The law that was killed
in Idaho by the veto of Governor
Alexander was passed by the legis-
lature of Montana without material
change and is now a law of the state.
The law creates state industrial ac-
cident board, and this board has just
issued its first annual report covering
the year ending June 30, 1916. Like
Idaho, in Montana the chief industry
concerned with the compensation law
is mining, and for that reason the law,
which is copied from the one killed
by Governor Alexander's veto, as tried
out in that state affords a perfect IL
Illustration of how it would have oper-
ated In Idaho If the democratic gov
ernor had not interposed his veto
The report shows that during the year
there were 1898 accidents, of which
1856 were fatal, and for which $685.
1898 was paid in compensation. Com
menting on the law. the report says
that both employers and employees are
pleased with its operation. And here
lis a fact to which the attention OF
Governor Alexander is particularly
called, for it completely answers the
reason he gave for vetoing the meas
ure. The legislature of Montana APP
propriated $4,000 to cover the ex-
pense of the board during the year
Lowered in the report, and of this sum
1.-The accident board showed a surplus
of $4,000 on hand at the close of the
year, after all expenses had been paid.
The expense would have undoubtedly
been less In Idaho Further COM
menting on the operation of the COM
pensation law in Montana, the board
says:
1.-THE wisdom, justice and economy
of the act has become so universally
recognized that argument in its favor
lis unnecessary. Accidents are incl
dental to industrial enterprises, and
because this is true, the industry Is
responsible to the injured workman
and should bear the cost.
1.-The first years experience under
the law has conclusively demonstrated
its efficiency 1t has afforded certain
and prompt pecuniary relief"
This is the identical law that the
republican majority in the Idaho leg
lislature passed, and is the same that
Governor Alexander killed because he
claimed that it would be too eXpen-
sive to the state. In the face of this
record democratic candidates for the
legislature in this county are appeal
ing for votes on the ground that they
will If elected enact fair and work
able" compensation law. The demo-
cratic party killed such a law two
years ago, and there is no evidence
that it would do otherwise if given
, the power now.
On the other hand a republican
r Legislature is on record as having

| similar to those that prevail in Ida

= ready to reenact law that will prove

heavy expense.

market to absorb the enormous pro-
duction that the war orders and their
consequent nation wide prosperity
has engendered. 1t is against this
that we must be prepared Other
wise, disaster.
IF Europe be permitted to so un-
dersell us in the home market she
will secure our gold and therefore be
able to finance her own reconstruc-
ton. If, on the contrary, we ade-
quately protect our home market we
shall be able not only to supply that
home market but also to sell to Eur
ope on credit.
IF the foreign merchants can sell
to us in exchange for our money our
gold supply will not last long, our
business will gradually decrease and
we shall find that we have carelessly
wasted the fortune which we now en-
| joy The easy course is not to take
any conserving steps but merely to
talk along about our prosperity, and
then suddenly and without proper
W lehS SOllc uIdSllC
mess overturning step when the panic
is upon u.s."
Here is sound sense. Mr.. Schwab
points out the ephemeral character of
our present foreign trade and the ne
cessity of securing a new market to
tide us over the economic crisis that
will follow the wars end. He puts
stress on the need of protecting our
home market from European under
selling. He pleads for the considera-
ton of success in business as de-
cent and self-respecting goal
What has the Wilson administra-
ton done to prepare us for the criti-
cal time ahead? 1t has persistently
declared that war orders were not re-
sponsible for our large current trade.
1t has enacted a tariff that will per-
misr foreign underselling; that in
deed caused more unemployment and
distress in Mr.. Wilson's first year
than many of us remember to have
seen before. The democratic party
has done not one single tangible thing
to find new market for our products
after the war and it has done moth
ing adequate to protect our gold sup
ply In fact. as has been pointed
out, the fantastic income tax so dis
eliminates against American securi-
ties that we shall soon not be able to
market them abroad at ALL That
means we shall have to ship gold in
stead.
The Wilsonians are elated with the
present and do nothing to safeguard
the future. We see that in Wilson's
handling of the railway crisis. He
did nothing until the country was
confronted with the threat to paralyze
traffic, Then he cravenly surrender
ed the liberty of the executive and
the rights of the people. So, in the
event after the war, he would watch
fully wait, prating Of humanity and
this or that sanction, until driven by
the storm ito take some drastic bust
ness overturning step when the panic
is on u.s."
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-10-26

President Wilson's request of the
American workingmen to reflect him
because of his opposition to protec-
tive tariff is similar to the request of
the tramp that handed the housewife
button and asked her to sew a pair
of trousers on it for him.

And name the things that he could
And soil the dresses that he wore

To be a wild and needless boy"
But on he went and sweeter grew
And then his mother, l recall
Wished she could keep him always

For that's the finest age OF all.
She thought the self-same thing at

And now that he is four, she signs
