MINING INDUSTRY OF IDAHO
DEMANDS A SQUARE DEAL.

The Idaho Mining association could
perform no better service in the IN
terest of the mining industry of the
state than to place the figures show
ing the appropriations made in behalf
of mining in comparison with those
made for all other purposes in the
hands of every voter In the state. The
association has published these figures
i'm connection with pamphlet re-
Gently issued containing the work
mems compensation law but the PAM
phlet will reach comparatively few
people.
We believe the people of Idaho are
as a whole fair and open minded, and
are therefore not disposed to sanction
unjust treatment to any industry of
the state. That the mining industry
has been and is being subjected to
such treatment must be evident to
anyone who examines the appropria-
ticns made by the last session of the
legislature The total amount APP
propriated for agricultural, live stock
and horticultural purposes was $751;
167, while mining received $29,145.64.
TO fully appreciate the significance. of
these figures 1t is necessary to con-
slider the value of the products of the
various Industries of Idaho in order to
arrive at the their relative import
ance. In 1916 the value of the min
eral production of the state was $49,
ducts of Idaho--agricultural, live
stock, horticultural and lumber
amounted to $l15,SOO,00O. The met
al product was approximately 80 per
cent of the total products of the state,
yet OF the total appropriations made
Dy the last session OF the legislature,
amounting to 6S7.6l1,53 the mining
industry received less than l per cent.
Passing the dividends received by Ida
no people from the mines, it is con-
servatively estimated that ont of the
total value of the mineral output |
fully $35.0OOO00 was expended for Ia
bar supplies freight and treatment
of ore, and of this vast sum probably |
$40, 000, 600 went direct to Idaho peo-
pie for labor, and TO Idaho producers
of hay, grain, vegetables, meat, lum-
Der, etc. Certainly an industry that
so largely to the prosper
ity of the entire state by providing
for Idaho citizens at good i
wages and directly assists every other /
by making a market for its
product is entitled to more liberal
treatment at the hands of those who
the state.

General Joffre and his associates un
hesitatingly state that American
troops on the fighting line in France
would have a tremendous effect, NOR
ally If not in numbers in bringing the
war to a successful close, and their
opinion should carry weight with the
government. Colonel Roosevelt, Is
prepared to lead an expedition of men
who have had military training and
actual service without interfering with
the plans Of the government 10 create
an army through CONSUMPTION. The
administration has offered no credit
able reason for refusing to permit the
colonel to proceed. Colonel Roosevelt
can not monopolize all the glory, and
President Wilson should not attempt
to do so for the benefit of himself and
his party.

1t Is understood that General Goe-
that's is unwilling to undertake the
job of Matching out flock of wooden
jitney merchantmen as the shipping
board desires. He has concluded that
such ships would soon be shaken to
pieces by the vibration of their en-
gines and that the only thing to use
is steel as structural material. There
is no doubt that standardized steel
parts for ships can be prepared almost
as quickly as wooden parts can and
II is certain that such ships would be
far more serviceable. The shipping
board, made up as it is of men who
know nothing about shipping, was
doubtless dreaming of the good old
days of the clipper ship-just as many
members of congress have been
dreaming about the good old days of
the volunteer army.

BoRAH cHNNGEs ATTITUDE TO.
WARD WAR WITH GERMANY.

Senator Borah is attracting much
public attention these days, his latest
move being to tender his services to
Colonel Roosevelt in the event that he
leads a division to the battle line in
France In view of the recent utter
ances of the senator with reference to
the attitude of this government to-
ward Germany. his proposal to fol-
low the colonel into the trenches is
far more remarkable than mis- an
nouncement that he will retire upon
the expiration of his term in the SEN
ate. A few days before congress de-
clared that state of war existed be-
tween this country and Germany, and
when it was known that such a de-
claration would be made Senator
Borah made this announcement:
1T is my purpose to support the
sary for the maintenance of it's honor
and the protection of the lives of it's
citizens. But If the program includes
anything like loaning the credit OF
this government or opening the public
treasury TO any European nation, or
sending our soldiers to the trenches of
the allies, or forming alliances with
European powers, l shall not support
that part of the program"
This utterance of the senator was
very disappointing 10 the people OF
Idaho, as was pointed out by this pa
per at the time. They were more dis
appointed when the senator recorded
his vote against the CONSUMPTION bin,
and 1t is probable that these two in
cidents have tended to make the peo-
pie of the state more reconciled to
the announcement by the senator
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election when his present term ex-
pires.
In rendering his services to Colonel
Roosevelt, Senator Borah reverses his
position completely toward the con-
duct Of the United States in the war
with Germany Instead of opposing
he sending of our soldiers to the
trenches of the allies" he is now will-
ng to become one of tho first to car /
y the war to France. This radical II

question with which the country has
lad to deal since the civil war is in I;
Iced gratifying Having accomplish
ID 1t successfully, we need not be sur
'rised If the senator rescnds his re- :
lunciation OF another term in the sem 4
tie, which will be equally gratifying. <
