SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING.

| When announcement was made 9
few weeks ago that the mining com
ranies would reduce wages of all EN-
ployes, the Miner called attention to
the high living costs and suggested
that a systematic investigation should
be made throughout the district to
determine whether or not excessive
charges were being made for neces-
sary living commodities. While there
is no doubt that the mining compan-
les were forced to reduce wages ow-
ing to the low prices and weak mar
ket for the metals, it was pointed out
that employees should have the bene-
fit Of lower prices in living expenses
II 1t was found that they were the vic
tins Of profiteering. A similar situa-
ton was presented In the mining dis
tricts Of Utah when the mining COM
panies reduced wages. 1t was assum-
ed there, as it was here, that local
dealers were making only reason
able profit and that the high prices
were due to conditions beyond local
control. But it appears that investi-
CATION did not bear out this assump-
lion. with the result that the mining
operators have announced that unless
here Is a substantial cut in living
prices the mines will close
Town. The situation is described in
he following from the Salt Lake Tri-
oune:

reduction of about 20 per cent in

made II possible for our boys to win
the splendid victory over Germany
and that also furnishes quick means
of exit from that country.
The cost of maintaining the mobil-
ization camps and Of handling bag
gage and equipment must also be add
ed, so that when it Is said that the
Forthcoming Victory loan is to be
used to a large extent to bring the
boys back home, it is absolutely cor

ed to loan their government money
for such purpose, no true-hearted
citizen can refuse nor will he refuse.
! 1t must be borne in mind, too, that
it is necessary for the government to
have funds with which to defray bills
already contracted. 1t cost a lot Of
money to whip the Huns and it was
worth all it cost and great deal
more.
If these expenses represented an
ordinary commercial liability. the
American people would pay it, be-
cause they are honest, but it repre-
sents great deal more. 1t repre-
sents the cost of freeing the world of
the greatest menace to which it has
ever been subjected, Of making the
homes and the institutions Of Amer
lea safe from the invasion by a most
barbarous and uncivilized foe. If
Germany had won, it's first demand
would have been Canada from Eng

metal mine operators of Utah to
merchants In the mining camps.
The statement Is based on find
ings Of committee recently ap-
pointed by the operators to inquire
into the cost of supplies and liy-

ing communities.
TT is pointed out in the circular
that while the price of copper
since the armistice has declined
from 20 cents pound to Is cents,
and that Of lead from 1906 hun

Fine words butter no parsnips." If
they would President Wilson could
make success of at least one of his
undertakings. Fine words could not
save the Mexican fasco Fine words
could not prevent the disaster
wrought by the free trade law during
the few months before the war stop
ped its operation. Fine words could
not make up for the surrender of our
rights to the Panama canal. Fine
words could not lessen the taxes due
t. extravagant administration. Fine
words could not carry letters when
the mail service was demoralized.
Fine words could not keep us out Of
war when the Huns were deliberately
numbering our citizens. Fine words
will not remove the dangers Of Euro
pean entanglements. Yet there are
many people who prefer fine words
rather than butter on their parsnips.

SUPPORT THE ENTIRE REPUBLl.
CAN CITY TICKET.

Unless there is an eleventh hour
ticket filed, the republican ticket as q
whole will have no opposition in the
coming city election. This Is at once
IL confession of weakness on the part
of the opposition and a high testi-
monial to the character and fitness OF
the candidates selected by the repub
Leans. 1t IL evident that in nomin-
ating the ticket the republicans were
GOV erned soiely by desire to choose
l1rn who were especially qualified for
the respective positions and as far as
possible those having experience IN
administering the affairs of the city.
Hugh Tooie, the candidate Tor mayor,
served the city in thai capacity in
1923, giving the city one of the most
progressive administrations it has
ever had. Public improvements which
have contributed toward making Wal
lace the most attractive city OF its
class in the northwest had their in
ception during his administration and
during his long service as a member
of the city council, and since his re-
tirement from public office he has
been identified with all movements
for the Improvement of the city and
the advancement of its business in
terests, OF the eight republican can
didates for the city council. two, w.
w. Smith and II. r. Catchings, are
now holding the position and their
service certainly recommends them
for reelection. Three. Emil Phster,
Carroll Beamer and l.. C. Reeves. have
been members Of former councils and
the excellent records they made
strongly recommends them for cleo
ton at this time. The other republi-
can candidates, r. T. Strachen, l.. c.
Eaton and Steven Eddins are we'll |
known public-spirited citizens and
their candidates. appeal strongly to
the voters of the city.
The republican candidate for city
clerk, l.. l.. Leighty. has a record of
service which is the best evidence of
his qualifications for the position. UP
to this time Mr.. Leighty is the only
candidate on the republican ticket
who has opposition, two independent
having tossed their hats in
the ring. One of these, ID. H. belong,
was an unsuccessful candidate for the
republican nomination in the caucus
that nominated Mr.. Leighty, and the
TACT that he has entered the race un-
Ter these circumstances should be
sufficient to discourage support among
hose who stand for square deal In
POLITICAL contests. In this connection
| Is recalled that two years ago Mr..
belong defeated Mr.. Leighty in the
aucus for the nomination and that
ir. Leighty accepted the result and
Imported the ticket nominated. Out
ide of other considerations, which
re sufficient to justify his election,
fr Leighty is entitled to support as
matter of fair play.

PREPARATION FOR WAR OUR
ONLY SAFEGUARD.

Representative julius Kahn, OF
California, who is scheduled to be the
chairman of the committee on M IL
tary affairs when congress assemblies,
Is in Europe for the purpose Of max
ing personal observations that will as
sist him in solving the military prob
lens with which congress will have
to deal and which will probably be
worked out largely through his COM
mittee. Mr.. Kahn was in Coblenz the
other day, and it Is evident from the
statements he made to a correspond
ent that he has not found that COM
radship" Of nations which has beea so
fl equently and feelingly described by
the president in picturing the reign of
peace through the benign influence Of
the league Of nations. In fact Mr..
Kahn seems to have discovered un
mistakable evidences of the warlike
spirit which only awaits an opportun-
ity to assert itself again, and he is far

will be curbed even by league of nj.

he said in part
u am over here particularly to
formulate ideas about our future
army. Because dangers are Turk
ing ahead l am more than ever
convinced of thes wisdom Of uni

agrees with me. Give us stand

train every youth, perhaps six
months, and that will put us
where we can protect ourselves
which we may have to do for we
will not emerge from the Paris
conference beloved of all the
world. We might as we'll face
that fact and be in a position to
make those who do not love us at
least respect us.
More and more am coming to
the conviction that we had better
stay on our side Of the ocean. The
president and his conferees in
Paris can not make self moral
laws and expect the world to
abide by them.
American mothers will give
their boys to protect the rights of
their nation; American mothers
will not give their boys to come
to Europe or some other part Of
the world to make some one else
behave.

of nations will work out, nor does

Immediately upon arrival at Camp

OF French officers. At this time the
regiment was transferred from the
41st division. The training and firing
