DOLLAR SILVER
A CERTAINTY

Dollar silver for at least a year is
certainty. Senator Key Pittman is
to be congratulated by all those that
have the welfare of the west at
heart. The silver bill that he intro
duced passed the house yesterday at
4 o'clock as announced by the Bon.
ANA and in all probability it will be
signed TO day by the president be
fore the Bonanza is issued. The pass
age of the bill means much to Nevada
and to all other silver producing
states. 1t marks but one OF the on
ward steps in the mining industry
and in the mining of silver especially.
II will stabilize and free silver from
market manipulations for many
months to come. 1t will also take
from London brokers the power they
have had in the past of arbitrarily
fixing the price OF silver. 1t will es.
tablish a precedent in the United
States for the regulation of the price
of the white metal in this country
that 1t is hoped will never be aban-
doned. II will give n greater use to
silver for money purposes. It will
likewise Justify a greater develop
ment OF present mines that are pro-
ducing the white metal, will cause
the reopening of many old mines that
were abandoned when silver was de-
monetized and will also give greater
impetus to the prospecting for new
mines.
Senator Pittman did not tackle an
easy job when he introduced the bill.
At each step it was an uphill fight.
II required that he get the approval
of the secretary of the treasury. II
required also the approval of the di-
rector of the mint. There was also
the war export board to convince and
after all these had been convinced
that the bill was for the best inter
ests of the country there were those
chronic obstructlonists that are al
ways found criticising any measure
Negotiations were carried on for
weeks at Washington and Senator
Pittman was Loyalty supported by
many Of the western senators. Some,
however, that should have given the
bill their hearty support, were luke
warm in their attitudes. The con-
vincing of Oscar Straus, representing
the war export board; and who is an
eastern banker required not oratory
but facts and figures of a very real
nature. The incontrovertible facts
and statistics furnished, however, in
the end convinced Mr.. Straus that 81
per ounce was not too much to pay
for silver. There is every reason to
