filed the miners with dread. 1t gave them
appalling proof of the dangers that beSct
them in their work 1t reopened the wounds
of old labor troubles and brought to head
long repressed agtatons for better pay ana

Aside from this specific trouble the
miners are said to have grown dIscon-
tented when they saw the price of copper
rise from Is cents a pound to over 30
cents. They demanded greater share OF
the profits. Concerning miners wages
"The Butte Miner" has this to say:
"When the recent friction in the lndust:l'l
situation arose the miners were getting

viouslv would have been considered somewhat

The Problem of Transit.
lantic FLYING

In a paper read before the Institution Of
Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland
l.. Desbeds explains some Of the adyan-
tages and difficulties of transatlantic fly
ing. With regard 10 the former, the carry
ing of the mails in a quarter Of the time at
present needed for the voyage between
America and Britain would, in the authors
opinion, be Of immense benefit, as he con-
siders that the correspondence Of coun-
try may be taken as a measure Of its COM
merce with other nations, and the acceler-
ated rate of exchange Of correspondence
would react upon commerce and shipping.
Coming TO the problem Of carrying mails
across the Atlantic. Mr.. DesbIeds considers
that existing knowledge Of aeroplane con-
struction and propellng machinery only
allows Of such flights by reducing the
strength of the machines employed TO far
below that of the aeroplanes now in use;
consequently those undertaking the pas
sage would run grave risks of coming 70
grief on the way. Some particulars OF an
aeroplane for flying the Atlantic are gwen
in the paper, the proposed machine having
a weight by itself Of about four TONS which
is doubled by, the addition OF fuel and
stores while crew Of ten men account for
another fifteen NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Some Angles of the Tax
Debate
There Must Be No Twilight
Zones and Dark Places

n n EXPERIENCE teaches me that
MI when you are levying taxes to
be just to the people and fair to
the government you must have TO twi-
light zone written within the walls of your
tax bill. There must be a definite and
well-defned line that cannot be overlooked
and cannot be evaded for if YOU do not do
so you leave the door open to favoritism
and often injustice in the administration
of the law. If the provisions of this bill
as presented by the committee are not
filled with twilight zones and dark places
that are not ascertainabe and not under
Standable, then | have never seen bill
reported to the Congress of the United
States that was in that category.-SenatOr

Notes in the Air
DEVICE to facilitate the writing
of notes IN the air has just been
patented by W. R. Turnbull, an

patented by W. Il. turnout, an
Englishman. 1t is described in "The Aero
plane" as follows:
at consists essentially OF a writing pad,
which is capable of being strapped on to the
forearm. In practice it is a writing pad
with an aluminium frame, the back OF. which
is curved to conform with the shape OF the
human arm. As can be seen in the illustra-
ton, il is attached by q couple OF elastic
straps. The whole device is very light and
takes room in the pocket when out OF use.
The points claimed for this writing pad
STe that IL is worn where IL forms no kind
Of obstruction TO any portion whatsoever, II
cannot be dropped, and the arm constitutes
firm support, which can be held in any posi-
ton most convenient 10 the writer, and IL
presents the outstanding advantage that
while in use the wheel or control stick of
machine can be operated with the left hand.
Naturally, tre use OF this attachment is
not confined 10 aircraft, and It presents great
possibilities for motoring, Havigating, sur
yeyng and, in fact, in all kinds Of outdoor
work. One recollects tragedy which hap
pened many years ego 20 a well known
aeronautical engineer, who, while engaged on
mining engineering in South America,
dropped an ordinary notebook, containing the
result OF nine months work, into the. river
By something approaching a miracle this
notebook was picked up miles down the
stream, but the incident was sufficient 20
make him appreciate the utility Of NJ. Turn

TSHE industrial strife that for the last
half-year has crippled the copper

TNHE industrial strife that 1or the '"S'
half-year has crippled the copper
mining camps in the West has
found its centre in Butte, where l2'ooo
men out of $4,000 are idle, with the result
that the governments supply of copper has
been seriously curtaied.
President Wilson has sent Chief Justice
Covington of the District of Columbia Su-
nreme Court through the regions where
the Industrial Workers of the World have
caused industrial troubles to investigate
causes and suggest remedies for the dis
content.
Other Federal mediators have tried to
match up the trouble, notably ". H..
Podoers. who advised the |. W. W. to JON
tho A F. of L. and go back to work. This
advice drew an attack on Rodgers and on
President Wilson. The strikers say they
want the government to own the mines
They assert if this is done copper can he
cold at Is cents a pound and IS day
coid 20 miners for a siX-hour day. Their
written demands at the time of striking
were; Abolition Of the ruStIing card
which they assert is a form of the black

Of the sliding scale Of wage payment and

Make War Profits Pay the Tax;
Stop Dealing Unfairly!

WHAT we seek is to touch war profits
w what our design is is to take the
largest percentage that may be taken of
profits that have been coined out of the
war. We are not concerned with normal
peace profits; we are not concerned with
normal industry in its ordinary and its
usual fux and flow. We would protect
normal profits; we would protect normal
business; we would protect normal produc
tivity and normal industry; but we would
take the largest percentage that we could
of war profits, the very largest that is
possible.
