MINING NOTES

Andy ]. Stinson, State Mine In
spector, recently visited Jar
bridge, the big gold camp in
Northern Elko County. He found
the mines in excellent condition
with preparations made for big
winters campaign of develop
ments.
A considerable flow of wate1
has been encountered on the zoe
level of the Blue Bull, where the
east crosscut, out 28O feet, is
thought to be near a series O.
east-dipping veins that outcrop
on the surface, and in which it i.
hoped ore will be found. New
pumps are being installed to han
die the water.
The Cracker Jack at Goldfeld
is retimbering the shaft from the
21O to the 320 foot level. Tho
work will require about 30 days
to complete and the company
then will prospect the two veins
that have been developed with
such success on the 12O level.
DR.. Elftman, who is heavily
interested in Hornsilver, has gone
to Los Angeles and Eastern cities
to consult with business associat-
es. He has bond on the Silver
King mine which he plans to take
up, consolidating the property
with the Hornsilver. The plans
for financing the company en-
brace funds for the construction
of 100 ton mill.

my INITIATIVE aDlllly, leadership,
and cooperation OF the individual
members. 1t is for the purpose
of preparing members to do and
produce something on their own
responsibility. The best features,
perhaps of as much or more i'm
portance than anything else, is
the TACT that such clubs develop
a greater love of the farm, dom
este animals, growing crops,
and country life and thus tends
to keep the country boys and girls
on the farm. Boys and girls
frequently become dissatisfied
with the so-called drudgery
of farm life thinking they
would be able to do much bette
in the city. Club work takes
the idea of drudgery from farm
work, changes the way OF look
ing at things and enables tn
members to find pleasure, proht
and recreation in all their labors
A great incentive for doing thei
best may be promoted by watch
ing the response of plants and ami
mails to their care and attention
Better opportunities are offered
for social intercourse and recrea
ton. and all are better enabled
to see that nothing is so whole
some and enjoyable as the fresl
country air and SCENERY.
The future Of our country large
~ depends upon Our boys am
girls of today. The earlier in lif'
one can start to prepare for lif
work, the better the chance
becoming a more efficient man
woman in that work, hence tn
greater the success one will at
tain. Club work offers the OPP
portunity for an early start il

OUR IMPERFECT INCOME TAX

erie (Pa-) Dispatch
Under the present income tax sys-
,em, which congress proposes to
continue, the tax applies 10 less than
one-half of one per cent OF the peo-
pie. The number of persons pay
ing the tax lasy year and the year
before was about $4,000 The num-
Der of persons cannot be more than
100000 this year. Thus much of the
economic value of this tax fails. be-
cause nearly all still pay the cost of
federal government by the old
roundabout ways. And about 40
families out of 90 miss the citizen
ship benefit they would gain by di-
rect participation in government
housekeeping.
Congress, obliged TO raise S267.-
100000 additional income on ac-
count of the preparedness program
and the Mexican emergency. aims to
provide 100000, 600 of it by increas-
ing the income tax. The plans have
the serious defect of raising this ad-
ditional amount by raising the rates
on incomes. already taxed. instead of
making the tax apply to a larger
number of citizens.
The present exemption is main
tanned. That leaves $4,000 annual
income free from the tax in the case
of married persons, and $4,000 free
in the case of single persons. Thus
an enormous number of citizens and
an enormous amount of wealth es-
capes. There is much harm in ne
'glecting 10 put moderate tax on
incomes Of moderate size.
1t would not impose a grievous
burden on anyone if the minimum
exemption were reduced. say to
$4,000 instead of $4,000. At the one
per cent rate that would make those
now on the edge of exemption pay
$40 year. The average tax on
those brought within the scope of
such a provision would be IS a year.
A family with $4,000 a year could
afford that, and would doubtless get
50 worth Of benefit from it. II
might be still better if the bars were
lowered to take in incomes as low
as $500, or even less. provided the
rates Of assessment were so low that
the tax would De little more than
normal Nearly all European ma
tons tax incomes of less than 81 900
In another respect the present law
goes only half way. II makes a diff
ferential exemption of $1,000 for
married persons, as against single,
but makes no exemption for chill
dren. II IS absurd that. in taxing in
comes, a man with six children
should be assessed as heavily as
man with none. There should be an
exemption for every child.
