Cold facts gathered by the
government say go ahead" with
home building.
Up to first of this year, farm
produce prices had advanced 116
per cent over pre-war prices.
The corresponding figure for
lumber was 73 per cent.
Commodities in general ad-
vanced l13 per cent. Building

vanced "a per cent.
These are the facts. Judging
by history and by sound economic
theory; it will be generation be-
fore prices get back to pre-war
levels, if they ever do.
Probably there will be a grad
ual decline, but meantime there
will be an evening up.
Prices which have goneup fast
est and highest will come down
first and most. Prices which
have made the smallest compara-
tive advance are apt to stay put
until other prices come down to
their level. This last applies to
to the building materials. 1t is

DISCONTINUE THIS NUISANCE

Next to the tax on tea in Rev
olutionary days, the present So
called luxury taxes and special
five per cent tax on candy, are
probably the most unpopular
taxes ever collected in this coun-
try.
Demand seems to be universal
that these "nagging" taxes, as
they are called, be done away
with at once.

opening the eyes of our taxpay-
ers that something must be done
at once in reducing the expense
of the State government to the
legitimate needs of the State.
Here is something to think
over right now, which we take
from the Tucson Post:

or or,-..,.,..---4---.-- ss42. .646.OO
According to the court decision.
65 per cent, or .$542, ll3,15 90
as intangible value, cannot be
taxed. Therefore, taxes on other
property must be increased near
ly three fold to meet the present
expenditures. This last sentence
contains the meat of the above
statement. the deficit must be
met by increased taxes on other
property.
Evidently the present system
of taxation is wrong and should
be changed and legislators ad-
vised that they are sent to Phoe-
nix for other purposes than in
creasing the burden Of taxation
on the people.

1t ID easy to theorixe about the
future market for copper, lead,
zinc. etc, quote figures and pile
up statistics. The fact remains
that these great basic industries
Of western mining have gone
through d hard six months Of
stagnant market conditions and
low prices.
The readiustment In western
metal mining to peace conditions
has been more severe than in
probably any other line of in
dustry, because it was almost
wholly occupied in war work.
Domestic and foreign builc|ing
and construction was at a stand
still, hence when the war ended
the bottom dropped out of metal.
The man with vision, however,
lis looking ahead. It is a fact
that never in the history of the
world was there so much new
building and repair and construc-
tion work needed in all lines.
Nearly everything from barn
to a transcontinental railroad
must be repaired or built new.
It took a little time to catch
our breath and square away on
a peace instead of war program
and it will take Europe a little
longer than it has us. But con-
struction work must 60 ahead.
In fact, it is now under way and
we all begin to feel the full of it.
A salesman for one of Ameri-
cas- largest paint houses recently
said that March, 1918. was their
record month, with virtually 100
per cent war business. They
thought their business would go
fiat for months after the war,
but he said March, 1919, with
out any war. orders, broke the
1918 record"
The public has become con-
vinced that building will not be
cheaper for a long time to come,
in fact indications are. that lum-
ber will advance beyond 1918
figures. Therefore, with high
wages and high prices for farm
crops, both of which are higher
in proportion than cost of build
ing materials, lumber, metals,
etc., there is no object in delay
ing building, as before prices
fall again, food prices and wages
will come down materially.
The world will use metals in
many new ways as the machinery
age is at hand and there is every
reason to believe that once peace
is again established. western
metal mining will surpass in vol
ume. even it's war records.
In the meantime, reduced cost
of production, through increased
labor efficiency and freedom from
strikes, will tide the mining in
dustry over this lean period.

ITO understand the reach and

led while in New York, and Mr..
Root Is q very distinguished re.
publican.
"Mr. Root got his copy from
Henry P. Dawson. Of Morgan &
Co., and Mr.. Dawson is a repub.
lican.
''Mr. Dawson got the copy
from Thomas W. Lamont, Of
Morgan & Co.. and Mr.. Lamont
is a republican.
u. P. Morgan admitted a f.
nancial interest in the terms Of
the treaty and had heard of cop
les being in New York, and Of
course had not lacked facilities
for knowing its terms, and Mr..
Morgan is a republican.
If there has been an illegiti-
mate or a partisan breach of the
Presidents pledge to secrecy
given to the other great powers
at the conference. who effected
the breach? If the confidence
of the President has been violat-
ed. who violated it? If Mr..
Lodge had a reasonable griev-
ance on behalf Of himself and
his party associates in the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, who but influential men,
bers of his own party are re-
sponsible for the creation of that
grievance?
''Mr. Root said that the Presi-
dent was under no obligation to
send the treaty to the Senate or
to its Foreign Relations Commit
tee. But the Senate was under
an obligation to respect the
pledge which the President had
a right to make, and the Senate
has violated that obligation. I"
As the facts in the matter Of
the copy of the treaty which
came to this country and for
which the President was scored
by Senator Lodge, come to light,
we realize, as does Senator
Lodge, that the copy Of the
treaty was sent here to republic
cans by republicans in France,
and was not leak brought
about by the President or the
democrats. 1t is a sure thing
that II Senator Lodge had known
the facts in regard to the alleged
treaty-leak. he would never have
opened his mouth on the subject.
In other words. this burlesque
statesman and historian, whose
whole object in life is to belittle
the acts of President Wilson,
would have kept perfectly mum
in the matter when he found out
that the copy of the treaty came
to New York through the repub-
licans interested and was seen
and read only by republicans.
Senator Lodge may fool some
of the people Of Massachusetts,,
but will not be able to convince
the people in the rest of the
country that he has not made a
very despicable attempt to dis
credit the President and has
fallen down with a dull, sicken-
Ing thud.
