Must Curb Hun.

The speaker declared the war with
Germany is TO remove the menace OF
the German military system for there
can be no enduring peace until further
criminal aggressions against other ma
tions by the German autocracy nave
been rendered impossible"
I'VE have seen the end of the old
world and the beginning of the new"
declared ex-Gov. Folk. This is par,
ticularly emphasized here in the United
States and in Washington. The old,
quiet. villagelike Washington has gone,
never to return. In its place has come
the busy and busting city, which has
become the capital of the world.
''Washingtonians are learning the
value of American citizenship as they
never knew that value before. They
have responded to the calls of the ma
ton with money and personal service.
They have been Americanized and de-
mocratized as to the obligations of
American citizenship; let them now be
Americanized and democratized as to
the privileges of American citizenship.
The residents of the District should
not be the only Americans in the re-
public denied the rights of American
citizenship.

Scope of Investigation.

Economic investigations during the
year have been made into the news
print paper. book print paper, Pc
troleum. beet sugar. flag, lumber, an
thracite coal and bituminous coal in
dustries. Results of the inquiries were
made public as completed, but the
commission takes occasion in the re-
port to point out that the passage of
time has confirmed the correctness of
its deductions from the coal investiga-
ton that the delay in the movement
of cars is what is limiting the output
of the mines.
Investigations of war materials at
ethe direction of the President have
been concerned chiefly with the prepa-
ration and marketing of meats, grain
foods and canned vegetables and fish,
the operation of produce exchanges
coal and coke. iron ore, iron and steel
products, petroleum products, lumber
for shipbuilding, cement. fire brick,
copper lead. zinc. nickel and other

wide Study Of Price Fixing.

Regarding the necessity for govern
mental price fixing, the report says:
"The experience of this government
in the question of fixing prices is one
that has been carefully followed by
the commission, which has furnished
extensive data for this purpose to the
fuel administration and to the war in
dustries board. The commission has
also had under consideration the ex-
perience of other countries in this mat
ter, and particularly England and her
colonies, France and other allies. 1t Is
convinced that price fixing by author
ity of law will have to be extended to
other products than food and fuel, and
that such authority is preferably ex-
ercised by temporary administr alive
body. In particular it is of the opin-
ion that such price-fixing power should
be established and exercised with re-
spect to the iron and steel industry, for
which a bill has already been intro
duced in the Senate Equally import
ant. in its opinion, with the fixing of
reasonable prices is the regulation of
the distribution of the raw materials
and intermediate products in the in
dustry affected and of the distribution
OF the final products to the consumer
In this connection also should be
considered the question whether bona
tide contracts made prior to the pass
age of price-fxing law should be al
lowed to be enforced. This commits
sion is of the opinion that the exact
somewhat in different industries. With
respect to the iron and steel industry
however. it believes that the greatest
public advantage would be attained by
not allowing such contracts to be full
nlled. at least. over long periods Of
time. In the case of coal, it is the
opinion of the commission that the
continued fulfIlment of long-term
bona fide contracts of sale made prior
to the enactment of the law would
initiate against the most successful
operation of price fixing by the gov
eminent"

1t is announced that sacking ore
for the first shipment from the
Badger group, the original discov-
cry in the Q silver district, eight
miles southeast of Lovelock, has
been commenced by M. Farretta.
More than enough ore for a car
shipment has been taken out, but
the first shipment is to be of pick
ed ore, the richest specimens being
sorted out for the purpose. Accord
ing to the reports coming in from
the property several claims in the
district promise to become paying
mines under proper development,
and the assessment work has been
concluded by a number of prospec-
tors who rushed in when the strike
vas first reported, more than a
month ago. Several of the claims
in the south end of the district.
which promised only small surface
dc posits with values which would
not pay unless a custom mill should
be located in the district, have
been abandoned during the week.

VI. G. v, Harrisburg, Pa - The
Jumbo Extension company owns a
group of claims in the northeastern
or Diamondfield section of the Gold
field district, adjoining the Daisy
group on the south. IN ~early-day
work some ore of good grade was
found near the surface on the Gold
Coin claim, but no appreciable
amount of development work has
ever been performed on this group,
although it is still believed to pos
sess good prospects. The discovery
made lately in the main property is
regarded as one of the most import
ant of recent years, as ii apparently
proves Engineer Turner's theory to
be correct-that the enrichment con-
tinues to great depth, far below the
surface of the shale. This discovery
will stimulate deep mining at other
points in the district and may have
a vital effect upon the future of
