edly be interested in the fact that we
have recently received letter from
the Secretary OF Agriculture stating
that the road project in Smith Valley,
which is the one from the Hudson
Aurora road to Smiths Corners, a
distance OF "a miles, has been approv-
ed by the Federal Government. This
road is OF local importance in that it
extends the Wilson Canyon project
so as to meet the road at Smith Post

REGARDS PRESENT TIME AS

The leading editorial OF a recent
issue OF the Boston News Bureau
IS devoted to discussion of what
that publication considers a copper
crisis On account Of present con-
ditions 1t will bear reprinting. II
follows:
A study OF the figures of copper
production and exports emphasizes
the imperative need of curtailment
in output now that the terrific
war demand has suddenly subsidized

again gets its bearings, normal ave-
nues of consumption restored and ac-
celerated and the new era OF peace is

This may not prove such dire
calamity, if, as seems obvious, it as
sists TO sDlve the labor problem.
Mine wages are now being paid on
the basis of 20-cent copper in defer
ence to appeals from Washington,
but the producing companies cannot
be expected to pursue the suicidal
policy eof excessive over-production
in the face OF a sudden cutoff in de-
mand and a sharp drop in quotations.

forced with consequent necessity OF

CLOSING THE COPPER MINES

Copper mining companies are re-
ceiving notice from selling agents
that they can draw against copper
only on the basis OF Is cents per
pound
This means that only about II cents
will be advanced against copper ship
ments
With many companies having costs
beyond Is cents per pound, such no.
t;ce must lead to restricted mining
operations and some probably may
be forced to close down.
The copper companies are faced
with very serious problems. Settle
ments for the metal allocated Wash
ington are dragging several months
behind
The Washington demand is that
wages shall not be cut, operations
shall be continued and the govern
ment may not buy. Copper must
thus be piled up at a cost absolutely
destructive OF the market in the fu-
nre
Every ton Ct copper brought to the
surface under present conditions Is
a shot against TIE future price OF cop

miner.
The mining managements do not
want to disperse their labor organi-
cations, but they do not know but that

dollar Getters" or dollar Civers. -
Which?
BY DAVID HINsHAW

America has been called the 'Iand of the
Almighty dollar" and certain surface indications
in our national makeup have partly JUSTIFIED this
characterization. The folks of the vast coun-
try west OF the Alleghenies are scarcely more
than two generations removed from pioneers who
wrested life and fortune from Nature. Many of
those on the Atlantic seaboard are immigrants
from Europe, who have come to this land of
opportunity and promise to better themselves and
their children. The struggle for advance, COM
fort and means still in our blood, therefore, oc-
casionally gives us the appearance of dollar
getters" But the great majority of us have
fully appreciated that money making is not our
fundamental aim.
The fine spirit of equality, the certain eli lima
ton of class lines which exist in Europe, the
gradual removal of chronic poverty should have
characterized us as practical idealsts But we
were judged by appearances. Then came the
Grat War.
We entered this war for no material gain but
that autocracy might be forever crushed from
the earth; that small nations might be protected
from large nations; that the agreement between
one nation and another nation might be sacred
and binding. We ask nothing for ourselves; we
insist only that humanity shall be benefited. Now
we are being acclaimed as the worlds greatest
dealists.
Because we entered the war late and the sur
face of our home life and our industry has been
barely scratched it is our particular duty to see
this great effort through to the very end. More
than four million persons are looking to Amer
can generosity for their very lives. The big task
is all but completed. One corner alone needs
to be cleaned up America must finish the job.
impoverished stricken Europe can help but little.
When America has cleaned up the last corner,
the Near East. as she will certainly do, we will
be known as the land of dollar -givers," not the
land of dollar -getters."
