Great Wealth of Mines

Ten mines in Arizona paid $34, 000,-
600 in dividends during the past year.
Adding Utah, Montana, Nevada and
and Idaho dividends to those of Arizona
we have total of over 800, 000.0 in
dividends paid out of the mines of these
five western states in a single year.
These are some of the impressive
facts brought out by the report of the
Geological Survey to Secretary Lane
just made. Never BEFORE" said Mr..
Lane, ''has so large draft been made
on the natural resources of our country
as during this year, and never before
have the metals been extracted from
these ores with less waste or utilized to
better advantage in advancing the gen.
eral prosperity of the country. Even
as written in the plain figures of 1916
production the wonderful record of our
mines sets forth degree of national
industrial independence only hoped for
few years ago."

Another Milk Meeting.

Another meeting of the local branch
of the Milk Producers Protective Asso-
citation was held in Grange Hall, Tues
day afternoon, and was very largely
attended. The main topics of discussion
were the price of milk and the
thorough organization of producers and
on these subjects the meeting was
addressed by several milk producers
who live in the vicinity of Detroit,
who came here to advise and confer
with the producers of this vicinity.
At a meeting held in Detroit, within
the past week, which was attended
by L. r. Acheson, as representa-
tive of the local association, the
big buyers of that city, the Detroit
Creamery Company and Towar's Wayne
County Creamery were asked to pay
So. .S5 per hundred for milk marketable
in Detroit for a period of one year
This, we are informed, the companies
declined to do and the meeting adjourned
pending further negotiations. 1t is
understood that the local milk pro-
ducers belonging to the association
favor a rate of $2.35 per hundred for
the period mentioned, the rate to be
equitably adjusted between the various
months of the year according to slid
ing scale. The price given is for htilk
delivered in Detroit and would mean a
net rate of about $2!05 for Clio pro-
ducers.
At the meeting held in Detroit, yes
terday, after prolonged session be-
tween the producers and dealers, rate
of $2.l0 was agreed upon, for the year
round, the producers being limited to a
ten per cent increase over last year, at
the option of the dealers. 1t is consid-
cred that this rate will be adjusted to
a sliding scale as mentioned above.

Oil a Growing Necessity

Pouring oil on the troubled waters of
Europe is not likely to diminish the use
of that fluid after the war is over-for
oil is distinctly a peace product. Oil
burning ships are going to be more
numerous; good roads are multiplying
the demand for automobiles; the per-
fection of motor trucks and tractors
gives oil new place in agriculture and
industry; the factories now used for
war products will turn to peaceful out
puts and will have to be fabricated; coal
is becoming scarce and costly, and oil
as fuel for heat and the generation Of
power will be in demand. The future
Of oil may in truth be described as pro-
vided with creased ways.

Is Party Domination Ended ?

The independents in the next Con-
gress are nseditating an organization of
their own. with the object, as their
spokesman says, of securing changes in
the rules which will permit larger
freedom of action among the represel-
tatives. The size of the group is prob
lematical. 1t is doubtless large enough
te carry control TO one side or the other,
If all the Independents shifted en- bloc.
The chances are that the next congress
will more nearly approximate condi-
tions in most European parliament
than any we have ever had. In Europe,
there 10 scarcely chamber of deputies
where any one party can command a
majority The German Reichstag has
existed for years with the Socialists az
the largest single group in its member
ship, and the government has had to
depend upon a coalition to maintain its
measures; SO, too, in England, the
Asuuith ministry. and now the Lloyd
George cabinet, have had no majority
granted to it with the mandate of a
general election; while in France the
Center, the Left, the Right, and the
other groups of deputies have always
been the despair of foreigners and Of
prime ministers alike. Many European
publicists have looked for new condi-
ton in the United States, which has re-
mained steadfastly two-party coun-
try. It may be that day is past and
that we. too, shall have the block sys-
TEN in politics.
