SHOULD HONOR
LlNcoLN's BIRTHDAY.

win H. Hays, chairman of the re-
whose leadership the republicans re-
gained control Of both houses of
congress in the recent election, does
not propose to permit interest in par
ty affairs to lapse between this time
and the next campaign. He has al
ready appointed vice chairman for
the Pacific coast states with head
quarters at San Francisco, whose
duty it will be to keep in touch
through personal visits and cores
pondence with state and county or
CARNATIONS to the end that party
featy may be fostered, party issues
discussed and the local and national
organizations kept in working con-
dition, thus making them more eff
fective than would be the case If the
work of organizing were left to the
few months preceding the election.
Other vice chairmen will be appoint
ed to cover all sections of the coun-
try.
The plan has met with enthusiast
tic approval of republicans every
where, and spurred by the victory
just won the party will enter the
campaign two years hence confident
of even greater achievements. The
republicans of Shoshone county have
caught the spirit, and already plans
are being considered for the observ-
ance of Lincoln's birthday on Febru-
airy II In the form of banquet to
which all republicanst of the county
will be invited The republican VIC
tory in this county and state is GER
tainly one that should enthuse mem
bers of the party and urge them to
cooperate in every way to strengthen
the organization in anticipation of
other victories to be won. No more
fitting occasion could be selected than
Lincoln's birthday, the first republic
can president and the one whose spirit
has ever actuated the party in the
accomplishment of great purposes in
behalf of the people. The Miner hopes
the plan for banquet will be carried
out and believes that 1t will result in
much good. There is nothing like
getting together when engaged in a
common cause, and banquet will
promote good fellowship, better un-
Outstanding and help the party to
present united front in the great
campaign two years hence. Let us
have the banquet.

WAGES AND PRICES.
mining Congress Journal)

mining Congress JournaD
The wealth of the United States is
estimated at ESQ billion dollars; it's
annual production. so billion dollars.
Six per cent of its total is Is billion
dollars, which is 80 per cent of it's an
nual production. From these figures,
speaking approximately, it may be
assumed that 20 per cent of the cost
of our total annual production is the
cost of labor and 80 per cent is the
cost of the capital which includes the
natural resources as well as the ma
chinery of production. Should price
levels be reduced to so per cent of the
present levels 1t would mean that the
earning capacity of the United States
would be reduced from SO billion dol
lars annually to 80 billion dollars an
nually. IF the reduction of labor and
capital shall be uniform, it would
mean that capital would earn 36 per
cent or nine billions of the total earn
ing power of the nation, while labor's
wages would be reduced from IS bill
lions to II billions. If the so per cent
level is the basis to which business
must return in order to be normal,
and in order that we may find mar
ket for our surplus goods in foreign
markets, then labor must be brought
to see that that price level is altoge-
Their the hest for him as wall &c for
the employer. Best for the wage
Garner because it insures continuous
employment without reducing the
power of his earning.

TURN PEST TO PROFIT.
(Thrift iMagazine)

Fully 20O,0OO,OOO wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year
according to estimates made by the
biological survey of the United
States, department of agriculture
Many of them are jack rabbits, the
majority Of which have not been uti'-
lied in the past.
| fall the rabbits killed were con-
sumed, they would furnish between
100000 and 100000 tons Of valuable
food, and If proper measures were
taken to insure the collection of SKINS
these alone would have value Oh
$40 1000, 600
The biological survey has frequent
ly been called upon to help western
farmers in coping with the RABBIT
pest. In view of the probable eco
nomic value Of rabbit meat and FUR III
the coming few years, the energies Oh
the farmers and rarfchmen will be III
rected to the conservation of this I'M
portant resource.

Within a few years normal prices
under world peace will leave the
mines in no condition to pay the big
war taxes and legislators may kill
the goose that lays the golden egg.
The mining industry in most west
ern states is the greatest source of
prosperity, besides paying the bulk
of state taxes and federal war taxes
for some years to come.
One thing Is certain, unless a state
constitution provides for taxing spe-
cial classes of property, an occupa-
ton tax on mines alone will not
stand. 1t is dangerous class legisla-
ton.

the state for the nonpartisan leagne
and made sensational statements re-
gardlng the availability and cost OF
power. But Burns has not put in an
appearance, much to the disappoint-
ment of the commission and the pub
lie generally. The commission has
now issued a subpoena for him, with
assurance that all expenses will be
paid Ray McKaig another promin-
ent leader of the league, will be call
ed upon by the commission to verify
some of his power statements, and
probably Mr.. Samuels will also be
asked to enlighten the commission
on the subject of electric heat.
Meantime the commission has been
told by DR.. Merrill, professor of cleo
trical engineering in the University
of Utah, that If all the power obtain
able from the Snake river west of
American Falls could be utilized ex-
clusively for heating purposes, there
would not be enough to supply the
population of that district, without
regard to cost. This statement was
supported by detailed and authentic
figures. The cost of heating the av-
erage house of five rooms with cleo
tricity was given at 5000 to SAP per
year, depending upon climatic condi
tons, as against around $50 for COAL
while the cost of installation was
placed at between 5000 and 5000 for
each house.
The utilities commission is perform
ing useful public service in holding
this hearing. The people of the state
are being harangued and humbugged
by agents of the nonpartisan league,
and 1t Is time that the constituted au-
thorities take steps to protect the
people against the specious state
ments pretentieusly made to help the
farmer, but in reality for the purpose
of separating him from his money.

NINE TAXATION.
Manufacturer, Portland)

The last Utah legislature enacted a
3 per cent occupation tax affecting
mines only, and they now refuse to
pay nearly a million dollars state tax
for 1918 under that one sided law.
Several western states that have
been very prosperous owing to big
war metal productions of the mines
are planning legislative action look
ing to further taxation of mines.

The Coward.
(From Rhymes of a Red Cross Man,
by Robert W. Service)

Ave you seen Bills mug in the Noos today?
'Ess gyned the Victorian Cross, they say
Little Bill wot would grizzle and run away
If you 1t i'm a swipe on the Jawr
'E's slaughtered the kaiser's men in tons,
Els captured one of their quick ,ilre guns
And e admit practice In KILN ons
Afore e went off to the war
Little Pill wot nussed in is by-by clothes;
Little Bill wot told me is childish woes
'Ow often I've tidied is pore little nose
wiz the EN- of me pnnyfore
And now all the papers is praises ring,
And 'e's been and 'es shaken the and of the King
And sawr i'm today in the ward, pore thing,
Where they're patchn' i'm up once more
And e says: "Wot dye think of it, Lizer Amp
And says: well, can't make it out, old man.
You'd 'ook it as soon as scrap began,
When you bit of a kid.
And e whispers: Ere, on the quiet, Liz
They're maxim too much of the ole damn biz,
And the papers is printn me e ugly PM, ". ala
But I'm anged II know Wot dld
"oh, the captain comes and e says: Look ere.
They're far too quiet out there: it's queer,
THEY'RE up to somethin-ooll volunteer
To crawl in the dark and see?
Then / felt me cart like a ammer go,
And up jumps chap and e says: Right o.!
But chips in straight and l says: oh no!
Els a missis and kids-take me-.
And the next knew was sneakin out
And the oozy corpses was all about
And felt scared wanted to shout,
And seq: You coward! You 'ad no right
To take on the job of man this night,
Yet still | went creepin' till Corrid sightD
The trench of the 'Uns was near.
ut was all so dark it was all SO still;
Yet somethin' pushed me against me Will
'Ow wanted to turn! Yet craWled until

Then thinks /: I'll just go a little bit.
And see wot the doose can make of it,
And it seemed to come from the mouth OF a pit:
Christmas SEE ]. a mine!
Then 'eres the part wot can't explain:
! wanted to make for ome again,
But somethin' was blazin inside me brain,
So crawled to the trench instead;
Then l saw the bullet cad of a I'm,
And e stood by rapid-firer gun.
And lifted rock and 1t i'm one,
And e dropped like chunk of lead.
Then all the 'Uns that underground
Comes up with a rush and on with bound,
And | swings that giddy old Maxim round
And belts em solid and square.
You see was off me chump wiz fear:
If I'm sellin me life l. it's dear
And the trench was narrow and they was near,
So / peppered the brutes for fair
$50 'eld enr back and yelled wiz fright
And the boys attacked and we 'ad fight,
And we captured a section O. trench that night
Which we didn't expect to get;
And they found me there with me Maxim gun,
And I'd laid out score if I'd laid out one,
And I tainted away when the thing was done,
And | 'avent got over it yet"
So that's the 'istory Bill told me.
OF course it's all on the strict OF;
1t wouldn't do to get out, you see
