NEW MINING BUREAU
TO USHER IN NEW ERA

The signing of the bill creating a
bureau of mines and geology for the
state marks an important era in the
development of the mineral resources
of Idaho, according to F.. A. Thorn
son, dean of the School of Mines The
lesser known mineral deposits of the
state are to be exploited rather than
silver and lead which are already
rather well developed. The lesser
known minerals include tungsten and
mercury among the metals, and clay,
building stone, phosphate rock and
the like, among the non-metals.
The controlling board is composed
of the following members:
Governor D. w. Davis who acts as
ex-officio chairman; F. A. Thomson,
dean of the School of Mines, ex-officio
secretary; Robert N. Bell, state mine
inspector; D. G. Livingston, head of
the department of geology at the uni
versity; jerome ]. Day, president Of
the Idaho mining association.
The first meeting of the board will
be held in Boise April 6, when def
mite announcement of the plans and
for the next two years will
be outlined. Further announcement
will DE made at that time.

A second way in which the mini
mum could be attained would be to
make rates so adequate" that even
the road with highest expenses and
smallest volume of traffic could earn
a fair" return. But as costs vary
so widely on different railroads, anv
rate level high enough to do that
would also be high enough to yield
scandalous profits to roads with low
expenses and dense volume of traffic.
Advocates of the plan have felt this
and have, therefore, made such pro-
Posals as a division Of profits above
certain rate with labor and the
government. But the real weakness
of such plan is not that some roads
would receive too much, but that the
shippers would pay too much. It
would constitute an unfair tax upon

Mitchell Asserts
Banker Says Return of Rail
roads to Owners Under
Present Conditions Would
Result i'll Big Bankruptcy

MONTREAL, April 21-Charles E
Mitchell, president of the National City
Company, of New York, speaking to-
night before the Canadian Club on
government operation of the railroads,
declared that were the American roads
to be returned to private ownership
under conditions to-day existent,
majority of the companies would be
faced with bankruptcy.
Much as we may dislike the
thought" Mr. Mitchell said, "a further
increase in rates TO compensate, in
large measure, for this increase in
operating expenses, is inevitable. While
there may be some hope that the cost
of coal and rails and other supplies
may come down and the increased
volume Of traffic may compensate for
such increases as remain, it is difficult,
in view of the political aspect of the
situation, to believe that railroad
wages will lend themselves to reduc-
tlon under the natural laws of econo-
mics as will the industrial wage. A
rate increase equivalent in result to
the wage increase should, unquestion-
ably, be made forthwith"
Mr.. Mitchell urged that a solution of
the problem Of the future of the rail-
roads be found as quickly as possible.
Most Of the plans offered, he said, pro-
vided for guaranteed minimum profits
to the roads and maximum profit re-
turn. lie opposed the minimum guar
antec suggestion, he stated, because he
believed it to be definite step toward
government ownership, especially If
private management fails to earn the
income guaranteed.
Three things appear to me to be
done,' said Mr.. Mitchell, "before con
sideration is given to the return of
railroad property to private operation:
"flrst, the reconstruction Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, with
rate-hXing authority and responsibility
definitely established; second, an i'm
mediate rate increase sufficient to take
up the burden Of The wage increase
granted during government operation;
and third, the passage of such legis-
lation as Will provide for a division
Of. profits above what shall be deter
mined to be a reasonable return to in
vested capital.
"With these things accomplished, we
should be ready for private operation
That complete severance from govern
ment responsibility for railroad credit
should be immediate and for every
road at the same hour, seems to me-
however, a prcposterous suggestion
The corner to be turned must not be
q sharp one. The return must be
gradual, both in method and point of
time"

Asks Permission to Acquire

$4,000, 900, to-day filed petition with

pany, owned by it, and 775 shares of
stock of the Upper Hudson Electric

Judge Gary said the Steel Corporation
had no desire or intention Of entering
upon any plan that would prove dis
astrous to others engaged in similar
lines.
Wants Industrial Peace
"The war is over" he added. 1--WE
want peace between capital and labor,
between competitors, between indus
tries and the government and with all
the world. Whether we as a people in
this country succeed in this laudable
ambition will depend upon everybody
doing his part and working together
and laborer up to the largest govern
ment officials. If we will do this, who
can question the claim that the United
States is bound to be the most pros
porous and progressive nation on the
globe ?"

which were opened for inspection at
yesterdays meeting, disclosed a\ large
reduction in the speculative holdings
of the common stock. Whereas two
years ago they held over 60 per cent
of the issue, they now hold about 40
per cent. Approximately 100000
shares have been transferred from
speculative to investors hands since
the latter part of 1916. Some of the
important shareholders with their
holdings are:
James A. Farrell, 1926 preferred

ferred and 1892 common; j. S. Bene-

of preferred.
j. P. Morgan was listed as holding
901 shares of the common, while he
and his son, Junius Spencer Morgan,
hold jointly 500 shares of the pre-
ferred. William L. Corey, q former
president of the Steel Corporation and
now head of the Midvale Steel e.

share of the common.

If you attempted to solve the
problem simply by fixing a rate
adequate to return, say, or or
some other percentage on all rail
way "capital," or to promise to re-
turn that average rate to new cap
ital invested in railroads, you would
be faced with the difficulty that
though half the roads might receive
more than that, it would mean for
some roads perpetual deficit. Yet
it might be possible to fix such
rate level and to use it, together
with a more elastic application of
the present three-yeor guarantee.
That is, there could be a graduated
tax on all earnings above the guar
antee and a graduated reimburse
ment for the difference between the
guarantee and earnings below it.
The ideal ratio level would then be
one under which the proceeds from
the tax and the amount Of rcim-
burscment would be approximately
equal. The railroads as whole
would be self-supporting. If the tax
and reimbursement were SO per cent
say, there would still be incentive
for economy and good management.
The railroads would get half of all
earnings above the guarantee; they
would lose half of all earnings be-
low. But the fixing Of a guarantee
or standard return level would in it.
self contain enough controversial
possibilities to keep Congress busy
for months. No one whose business
it is to solve the railroad problem to
the satisfaction of everybody will be
called happy until he is dead.
