SHOULD ENCOURAGE MINING.
(Salt Lake Mining Review

tSdlt Lake Mining ReV1eW)
In these times of national stress the
government should be exceedingly
careful that no obstacles be placed in
the way of successful mining opera
lions, such as allowing an increase In
freight rates on low grade ores, or the
establishment of quotations on any Of
the metals at figures where losses are
liable to be experienced; for, just now,
the production Of metals forming the
basis of money of ultimate redemption
should be encouraged as we'll as pro-
tected
1t is strange condition and yet it
is true that there are but compare
lively few who realize the fact that
the imperishable wealth Of the world
comes from the mines, and that in
mining and milling operations new
wealth is constantly being turned into
the avenues Of trade and commerce.
A gripping Of any branch of the
mining and smelling industry at the
present time Is menace to the well
fare of our country and will stay the
progress we are making in throttling
the efforts Of Germany to enslave the
world for, without an abundance of
the metals preparations for the carry
Ing on of the war must necessarily be
greatly handicapped.

A point the American people seem
to have overlooked in the petty per-
secution Of Leonard Wood Is that
while keeping him In the United
States he is denied even that promo
ton which Is his due because of his
wonderful constructivism and far
an example of which is
seen in the reserve officers training
camps originated by him. Before the
war broke out, and before the admin
istration gathered it's switches to
flagellate the man who was right,
Wood was the ranking officer of the
United States army--a major general.
Since the declaration of war he has re I
ceived no promotion whatever, but de-
motions in the character of his as
signments a-plenty. Several generals
have been made. more lieutenant gen.
erals, and large number of major
generals have been ordered abroad.

SMITH AND FRENCH ESCAPE
NON PARTISAN APPROVAL.

Congressman Addison r. Smith and
Burton l.. French are no doubt con-
graduating themselves that they es-
capped endorsement by the Non Parti :
san league, for 1t Is certain that such
endorsement would not help them
with the voters of the state, while
there Is possibility that such en- =
dorsement would prove detriment
to them. While Townley has been ac-
quilted of the charge of disloyalty by
the Minnesota court. he is far from
being exonerated by the people of the
country and the league so far as its
leadership is concerned Is regarded as
a disloyal, pro German organization.
That its membership in Idaho Is large
ly made up Of we'll meaning, but mis-
guided farmers seems to be well es-
tablished and it Is believed that Aese
will generally see the error of their
way before the primary and win give
the two congressman the vote of con-
fdence to which they are entitled
through long. faithful and efficient
service. The resolution reflecting up
on the ability and record Of Congress-
men Smith and French, adopted at
the meeting of the league in Boise
was deliberate SANDER upon two men
who have accomplished more in the
way of beneficial legislation in behalf
of the agricultural interests than any
other two men in the state. They have
consistently and heartily supported
the administration in all war meas
ures because they place loyalty to
country as the first essential in the
qualifications of representative in
congress- and the loyal people of Ida
no may be depended upon to resent
the aspersion contained in the resolu-
ton adopted by the bunch who are
held under the ban of disloyalty by
true Americans.

DEAD MEN, GET UP /!

Frank A. Vanderlip said recently:

That man stepped up onto the firing
bench and looked out and saw COM

soldiers. That man loved France in
his very soul. He could not bear to
see another foot of France taken
away. He turned to those men lying
In the trench and shouted: Dead mer.,
get up!' And stunned and wounded
as they were, enough of them got up
so that they manned the guns, drove
back the enemy, and held the trench
for France. And l feel that liberty

etter to republican publishers MI
lays makes an appeal that Is an In
piration to newspapermen. The ton
# his letter Is indicated in the fol
owing extract:
THE labor constitutes the coun-
try's greatest asset. In this crisis
now obtaining the labor Of the
country is its salvation.
'The republican party is the ma
tural friend Of labor. BY repub-
lican protective tariff policies it
has made the wages Of our labor
ers the highest in the world. To-
day and In the future the labor In
this country Is entitled to and
must receive fair representation in
all the councils Of the nation.
Labor in this country Is for the
war and is giving in full measure
to the nations cause. We are a
nation of wage earners. and the
welfare of these men must have
that consideration that guarantees
to them that to which In all fair
ness they are entitled We must
have just remedial legislation for
the betterment Of this great mass
OF our population at all times, not
only because 1t Is their due, but
also that by justice always we can
prevent insidious criminal influ-
ences from taking hold in the
ranks of real labor.
I'VE must have such industrial
peace now as will make certain
that every atom of brain, every
ounce Of Drawn, goes where need
ed most to help the common
cause. And that is not a charge
on labor only. We must have no
profiteering and more volunteer
ing in this country. The manu-
facturer who would take advan-
tage of his country's emergency to
profit unduly or force concessions
unduly from labor Is just as culp-
able as the laborer who would
take advantage of his employers
emergency and his country's ne
cessities to force unfair conces-
sions.
"And that lawless individual
that puts the spikes in the spruce
logs, and that lawless individual
that goes about the country think
ing only Of himself and seeking
whom he can destroy, that man is
a traitor to his country absolutely
and nothing else. and should be
treated as such. For traitor
there is only one effective medi-
cine-taken standing against the
wall. Let him have it,"

The Miner this week gives consider
able space to statement from WIN
Fl. Hays the young Indianian who
was recently elevated to the chair
manship of the republican national
committee. 1t is in effect a clarion
call to all republicans to rally to the
support of the principles of the party.
to the selection of men for office who
have given unfaltering support to the
government in war and who will with
equal loyalty and determination begin
now to solve the problems upon which
will depend the prosperity and secur-

of peace Mr.. Hays has already dem
onstrated that he possesses all the
elements of leadership required of the
head of the national republican Or
ganization and his grasp of public
questions ana pollcleS extends 10 every
element Of our population. To win the
war is the first and paramount pur-
pose Of republicans. says Mr.. Hays.
There must be no politics in the war,
hut he aptly states that that does not
mean that there must be no politics
during the war. The war has not OBJ
liberated differences of opinion on

proper that the people should contest
those differences while firmly united

Printing Liberty Bonds.

While approximately 100000 bonds
were printed for the first Liberty
loan and 100000 for the second,
21,10O,000 were required for the third.
This was so big task that greatly
increased facilities were needed by the
bureau OF printing and engraving. At
the outset Is huge presses running
night and day six days a week, were
used, says Popular Mechanics. Later
this number was increased to IS.
About 400 persons were employed for
several months in producing the bonds
for the third issue To speed up the
output a system was installed where
by six bonds were printed for each

four printings had been necessary for
what is called surface work, plant
was installed which did the work In
two printings. In the work done by

LABOR WELL PAID IN COEUR
D'ALENE MINES.

The announcement last week that
the mining companies of the Occur
G'Alene district had advanced the
wages of all employees at the rate OF
SO cents per day or shift is a further
indication of the friendly and consid-
crate attitude of the mine operators
toward their employees. According TO
the sliding scale adopted year and a
half ago, and subsequently amended,
the rate of pay would be $4.75 per day,
the same that has been paid for many
months and which has been above the
rate provided by the sliding scale,
which provides that when the aver
age price of lead for a month is $7.b0
per 100 pounds or more, the rate OF
nav for the succeeding month shall be
$4.75 This Is the first month since
last September that the average
lnOnlllly price VI ies'o ii"'
$3.50, but during that period there
has been no disposition among the
mining companies to reduce the wage
tn CORRESPOND to the terms of the
scale, OF course it will be argued by
those who are always ready to charge
the operators with desire to hold
the wages down to the lowest lever
that the high wages were maintained
as the only means Of retaining men,
who would otherwise go to the SNIP
yards or possibly to Butte where
higher wages prevailed. That many
OF the men would do this is probably
true hut to claim that this is the only
consideration that induced the mining
companies to retain the wage above
the scale Is unjust to them and I'M
true, In no district in the west have
employers shown a finer spirit toward
their employees than in the Occur
dAlene district, The voluntary adop-
ton of the sliding scale in the first
place was a recognition of the right of
employees to a share in the increased
profits and to meet the increased cost
of living, and this was afterwards en-
phasized by further change in the
scale to meet the unexpected higher
price of lead. This spirit of interest
i'm the welfare of their employees Is
now again displayed in the advance OF
SO cents per day without regard to the
provisions of the sliding scale.
The rate of pay for miners in TINS
district is now $5,25 per day, but the
increase of 80 cents per day applies
to all employees of the companies, in
Guiding mills smelters, office forces
and all others up to superintendent
1t is estimated that there are 1000 en-
ployes affected by the increase, which
means an increase in the monthly
disbursement of 100000 or for the
year 100000.

no end to the war through military
success. Peace must come. he says,
through diplomatic means. He speaks
of course, from the Hun viewpoint;
since it has become evident that ulti-
mate military success can not rest
with the central powers. Neverthe-
less, before diplomatic conversations

useful If the allies accumulate a few

Washington, February I.-Prompt pas- sage. with bipartisan support, of the administration measure to establish a war finance corporation and provide fed eral supervision over private security is- sues was planned today when the re- vised measure was reported to the Sen ate with unanimous indorsement of the finance committee. Chairman Simmons will call it up next Monday and thinks only few days consideration neces- sary for it's disposal. The House also is preparing to expedite action.
