WHY NOT THE TARIFF?
(American Economist)


From the official figures it is seen
that the money which the govern
ment expects to raise from April l,
1918, to June 80, 1919, inclusive,
amounts to a total Of s24,97S, 1856, 800.
The committee on ways and means
is wrestling with formidable list of
special and direct taxes that shall
furnish $S,OOO,OOO 900 The list in
cludes corporation taxes, excess pro-
fit taxes, income taxes. tobacco taxes,
amusement taxes, automobile and
truck taxes, gasoline taxes, and con-
sumption taxes on every article that
shall be produced and sold.
Then there still remain the war
savings stamps, the thrift stamps, the
Red Cross and Y M. c. A. contrlbu-
TONS etc.
Yet the committee on ways and
means does not include the taxes
most easily paid, least felt by our own
people, and mostly drawn from for
eigners who compete in the American
market.
Why not the tariff?

COATES TRUSTS TO FORGET
FuLNEsS OF THE PEOPLE.

ID. c. Coates, chairman of the ma
tional party, with headquarters in
Chicago, an aggregation of socialists
who found congenia company in the
socialist party until the war disclosed
1t made up chiefly of pacifists and
pro Germans and who have essayed
to form new party based upon the
essential tenets of the socialist par
ty, displays much indignation be-
cause the Miner in recent issue re-
ferred to his record as a labor and
Non Partisan league agitator during
a period not so long ago but that 1t is
still fresh in the memory of the peo-
pie of this section of Idaho In or
der that readers of the Miner may
fully appreciate the depth of his in
dignation an extract from letter
written from his headquarters in Chi
cago Is here given:
II want to take this opportun-
ity of thanking you for the usual
common BLACKBOARD you indulge
in toward me whenever you can
use my name to serve your own
selfish purpose. i have reference
to your article in your issue of
TWO weeks ago on the Non
Partisan League quoting Jerry
Bacon of Grand Forks, N. d., and

DEMOCRATIC sLUsH FUND.
standpoint Review


When the democrat state officials
evolved the scheme of a three per cent
assessment upon the democrat state
house employees they little dreamed
that the non partisan league was
coming along to swallow them up.
Now the candidates for denomination
on the democrat ticket want the DEM
ocrat slush fund for use in the pri-
maries, claiming that the non-parti-
san league has big pot to put in the
game to nominate their candidates on
the democrat state ticket and that 1t
is no more than fair that they should
have the sinews of war from the state
house assessment with which to fight
the non partisan league candidates.
No party ever before assessed state
house employees for campaign fund.
1t fell to the higher intelligence of
Alexander, Walters and Dougherty to
evolve a scheme by which they them
selves might escape a campaign as
sessment at the expense of the state
house stenographers. The scheme
was born in avarice and is having its
just reward. To the casual observer
it is as reprehensible to tax employees
for the expense of their chiefs cam
paigns as it is for Townley and his
bunch to victimize the farmer by as
sessing him SIG for the privilege of
voting for men of the caliber of H. F.
Samuels for governor. 1t seems to be
a case of pot against pot" with the
republicans enjoying the show.

COPPER KING RAISE
D|sCLOsEs MUCH ORE
MILL TEST OF ORE ON DUMP
GIVES GOOD RESULTS-MAY
BE TWO ORE SHOOTS.

A mill test of Copper King ore was
made at the Hunter mill last week,
and while the experiment was not
complete, it was nevertheless most
satisfactory in demonstrating the re-
coverable values in Copper King ore.
III. w. ingalls,, manager of the Copper
King, was in the city Monday and
gave the following assay results Of the
concentrates turned out in the test:
Silver, 16 ounces; lead 3S per cent;
copper, s. per cent; zinc, 2 per cent.
This represents a value at current
metal prices for silver and lead of
$3.50 per ton, or gross value OF
$3O72 per carload Of 40 tons. Mr.. In
gals estimates that such shipment
would yield net profit of $4,000. The
ore for this test run was taken at ran
dom from the dump, which Mr.. ingalls,
estimates contains fully 1000 tons Of
good mill feed.
Raising on Ore.
A raise is being made which is now
100 feet above the tunnel level and
will be continued indefinitely to ex-
plore the ore shoot. the plan being to
orosscut the vein at intervals Of 100
feet to determine its extent. At 100
feet the ore was ~ feet wide, and last
Sunday round of holes into the foot
wall 5k feet deep disclosed ore the
full depth. making the width of the
ore shoot II feet. How much wider
has not been determined, but on the
tunnel level Mr.. ingalls, states that 1t
is IS feet wide. Assuming that this
ore extends to the surface, there is
back of 1900 feet of stopping ground.
The character of the ore now being
explored is altogether different from
that on the surface. which leads to the
conclusion that 1t Is not the same ore
shoot. An air hoist and receiver have
recently been installed to facilitate the
work in the raise.

COMPARISONS WIN IN THE
SUPREME COURT.

In refusing to restrain the secretary
of state from certifying the names of
Non Partisan league candidates ON
the democratic primary ticket, the
supreme court took the position ex-
pected generally by persons who had
given thought to the question. In eff
feet the decision simply means that 1t
is not within the province of the court
to pass upon the political adherence
of any citizen. No doubt the court
realized, as does every one else who
has followed the case, that in filing as
democrats the candidates of the Nom
Partisan league have adopted sub
terfuge which can not be justified
from the standpoint of morality and
common decency, but which is never
theless beyond the power of the court
to prevent without trenching upon
the right of political action and opin-
ion. The decision does not in any
sense justify or condone the political
piracy conceived and practiced by the
Nom Partisan league. On the con-
trary, 1t means that there are certain
forms Of immortality and degeneracy,
though flagrantly In evidence, which
the courts under the present law can
not reach.

CALLAHAN HERE.
Attorney Of Chicago Spends Several
Days Visiting His Brother.

Days Visiting His Brother.
Donald A. Callahan, an attorney of
Chicago, left for his home this morn
ing, after spending a week visiting his
brother, James r. Callahan. Prior to
coming to Wallace he visited another
brother, John Callahan, formerly OF
this city, now of Deep Creek, Wash
who met him in Spokane. Mr.. Gala
han visited in Wallace about Is years
ago. While here he inspected the In
mine. of which his
brothers were the original owners and
In which James F. Callahan Is still the
largest individual stakeholder. Mr.,
Callahan has the distinction of being
the only republican in the Callahan
family. and he is not without hope
that Jim and John will yet see the err
ror Of their way and follow his exam
pie.

to finance the war. There are COM
paratively few people in this county
who have gone right down to bed
rock and are buying war savings
stamps to the limit OF their ability.
But that Is what the government ex-
poets them to do and that is what
they must do before they can say
they are giving the boys at the front
the support they must have to win
the war. Begin today to increase
your stamp purchases and continue
until the end Of the year.

RED CROSS ROOSTER.
Will Be Ratified for the Benefit Of the
Local Chapter.

This morning the express company
delivered handsome rooster, address
ed to the Red Cross, to Mrs. Harry
McAllister, who with the assistance
Of Mrs. 8. P. Fairweather, conveyed
the bird Of victory to the home OF
Mrs. Angus Sutherland pending ar
rangements to rattle him off for the
benefit Of the Red Cross. This rooster
has record of raising SIS for the Red
Cross at Plains, Mont, $125 at Thomp-
son, and $45 at Trout Creek. He comes
now to Wallace where he is expected
to go over the top SO far as all former
records are concerned. The winner
will of course turn him back to the
Red Cross to continue his career OF
usefulness. The date Of the rattle VIII
soon be announced.

YOUR own Introductory remarks
on his statements with reference
to my connection with the Nom
Partisan League. Both you and
Mr.. Bacon could have found out
(if you had desired to be fair)
that other than being for year
managing editor of the Non--
Partisan Leader, had nothing to
do with The league Then. too,
YOU are conscious Of your craven
lie, when you say that was
leader of the Industrial troubles In
the Occur d'Alenes. Being fair,
truthful and decent seems FAR
from your nature"
Instead of giving vent to his wrath
at what the Miner said. Coates should
be grateful to this paper for having
said so little In view of his career as
editor and publisher Of the organ OF
the Western Federation Of Miners In
this city, particularly during the trial
of w. d. Haywood for the murder OF
Ex-Governor Steunenberg. career
that Is abundantly substantiated by
the files of his paper. The Miner
merely said that Coates was formerly
a resident of this city and champion
of the iawless element during the Ia
Dor troubles, a radical socialist and
identified with the organization OF
the L. w W. Since Mr.. Coates has
attacked the -veracity Of the Miner In
this matter, we will endeavor In a
later issue to produce evidence that
even he will not have the temerity to
dispute.
As to his connection with the Nom
Partisan league, his departure from
Spokane to take up the league work
in North Dakota is well remembered,
and if our memory is not at fault, he
gave an interview in Spokane pa
per in which he outlined in consider
able detail the splendid opportunity
IL offered for the socialistic propa-
ganda. The recent reference to his
work there was taken from a pamph-
let, 'The Farmer and Townleyism,"
Hruf nd
Forks, N. D., who gives a complete
exposition of the Non Partisan league
In that state, and we have never yet
heard the truth of his statements
questioned.
This letter from Mr.. Coates serves
TO draw attention to the changes
| wrought by time. There he is, the
head of a pretentious national party
| with headquarters in Chicago. In
the same city, perhaps only a few
blocks away, is w. d. Haywood, head
of the Industrial Workers of the
| World, behind prison bars, convicted
of sedition and awaiting sentence. ca
back ten or twelve years ago and We
see these same two men in Chicago
Haywood having just escaped from
the shadow the gallows. They were
close friends and had gone to Chicago
for common purpose. namely, to or
ganize the Industrial Workers of the
World, and they did it, d. c. Coates
w. d. Haywood. Vincent ST. John ant
others of the same stamp. This Is the
same l. w. w. that has been on tria
for the past three months and which
has resulted in the conviction OF
Haywood and hundred others on 9
charge of sedition.
No wonder that Coates In his pres.
| ent position resents reference to hi.
record of other days.

STICK TO THE JOB WHILE The
WAR LASTS.

A few DAYS ago a British soldier,
who had just returned from the front,
addressed 2OOO employees of the Wa
shoe smelter at Anaconda. He was
not great speaker as commonly uh-
derstood, but he had been through
the flame of fire on the French 'front.'
and though disabled from further SER
vice In the field, he possessed won
derful power to impress his hearers
with the magnitude of the task that
confronts the allies, and particularly
the United States, and to stir the pa
triotism, of the people of this country
to make the supreme effort that viii
win the war. To accomplish
the governments plans to have A.
900 900 men in France by the last Of
next June, it is evident that the PEG
pie at home have task to perform
which. while not hazardous, Is never
theless as essential as that which
confronts the boys who will face the
Huns on the battle line. Particularly
does this apply to labor employed In
war Industries, and it was to these
that this British soldier especially APP
pealed. The man or woman at home
who fails to do his or her utmost 10
win the war is no less Stacker than
the man who attempts to evade SER
vice in the army. In order to impress;
the smelter employees with the I'M
portance of their work to the govern
ment, the speaker asked them to sub
scribe to this pledge:
$50 long as the war shall last,
I'll stick to my job. I'll do an
honest days work, six days a
week, overtime ii necessary. I'll
do anything else the president of
to do, so help me God"
without hesitation the 1000 EN-
ployes of the reduction works arose
as one man and with uplifted hand:
, took the pledge. That was magni-
ficent exhibition of the American
spirit of war, the invincible spirit tina
Ia gathering strength and momentum
Ia every state of the Union and which
will not stop until the Stars and
Stripes wave in triumph over the
kaiser's capital. Without thought OIL
desire for compensation, either in the
form of cash. territorial acquisition
or commercial advantages: actuateo
solely by determination to defend
our own rights at whatever cost and
desire to extend the blessings OF
, free government to the people of all
the earth. the American people hav,
entered the war to destroy the last
. menace to the peace of the world. In
spired by such a purpose, there Is nc
power ON earth that can long with
stand the unconquered and uncon-
Querable hosts of American freemen
backed by our unlimited resources In
men, material and money and with
every man resolved to stick to his
job as long as the war lasts.

SUCCESS.
Mill Will Start Running One Shift To.
day or Tomorrow.

1t was authoritatively announced
Yesterday that the Success mill will
start up today or tomorrow, running
one shift for the present, but with the
expectation Of having the mine in
condition to keep the mill going full
time at an early date The bins and
chutes are full Of ore and the plant
has been undergoing the tuning up
process the last day or two. Very
encouraging reports are received re-
garding the ore showing in the mine.
A large ore shoot has been opened on
the 400 and 1900 levels which has
been explored for distance Of nearly
100 feet, and in places is rs feet wide,
all good milling ore, the lead and zinc
being about equal. A drift is being
run to reach this shoot on the 1900.

BETTER PREPARED FOR PEACE.

When the United States congress declared war
against Germany we strikngy unprepared for war;
We had to build our war establishment almost from the
ground up And on the whole did pretty WE'LL as all
The world agreesforegners, oddly enough, agreeing to
it rather more readily than ourselves In period sur
prisngy Short considering what had to be DONE we put
ourselves sound and effective war basis that we put
Germany out Of the war business.
Now comes peace, and there rises chorus OF amen-
tation over our npreparedness for it. To this Richard
Spllane editor Of Commerce and Finance, sensiby re-
plies:
"America is vastly better prepared for peace than
it was for war"
This is fact that the pessimsts have overlooked.
During the war we have not only developed industries
phenomenay but have built up, as part Of our war
machine great national system OF business machinery
which can be applied and is now being applied to the
purposes OF peace 49, I
Never were American business brains 50 thoroughly
organized and working in such effective cooperation as
they are today Consider what the War Industries Board
acting in conjunction with strictly governmental agen-
cies has accomplished during the war; 1t can accomplish
Just as much now in shifting American industry, COM
merce and finance to peace basis with the active help
of the government.
"Those who are worrying about after-the-war
conditions says the expert quoted above hose who

Of men we have in the army and navy losing sleep over

He is very likely right in maintaining that the Amer
