HOW TO MAINTAIN TRADE

Governor Harding is convinced that tho
 United States is in position to maintain
 this trade and to increase it. One of the
 reasons why he is of this opinion lies in
 the fact that what he calls the "war-worn

SUSPEND ANNUAL LABOR
SAYS MARTIN OF MULlAN
TELLS SENATOR BoRAH WHY
MINERS SHOULD HAVE
RELIEF.

]. L. Martin of Mullan, is doing his
bit toward getting action by congress
to suspend annual assessment work
on mining claims for this year and
next. Mr.. Martin is extensively in
terested in mining and is in position
community on this subject. In let
ter to Senator Borah under date Of
January IN he set forth a few of the
reasons why the people of the min
ing districts feel that they should be
relieved Of this annual expense and
he evidently impressed the senator
with the fairness Of his argument for
in reply on January 23 Senator Borah
said:
Il have your letter of January II.
This important matter will have my
earnest consideration l assure you. l
am very strongly impressed with the
reasons given why this additional re-
lief should be granted"
Mr.. Martins Letter.
The letter written by Mr.. Martin to
which the foregoing is a reply fol-
lows:
The miners and prospectors of the
mining west did not falter nor stutter
when the government called for buy
ers for the Liberty bonds and war
savings stamps, and now it is appar
ent that the government must make
at least two more calls. In order for
these men to be able to meet these
coming obligations and live they need
further relief Many of them are
carrying deferred payments upon their
last bonds and as soon as they have
finished these payments, another will
be ready for subscriptions.
Now, Mr.. Borah, feel sure that I
am representing the wish of vast
majority in the western mining coun-
try when ask your support for the
extension of the suspension Of annual
representation work upon mining
claims for two years more.
Kindly give it your attention, and
If possible make inquiry throughout
this country and see if | am not right.
Thanking you in advance, on be-
half of the prospector, for your able
assistance in securing this greatly
needed relief"

THE FACTS

2-Many of the employees of the mines
filed claims for exemption; though probably
not more than among a like number of men
in other industries. They made these
claims, in almost all cases. of their own
voition. In some cases, however, an effort
was made by the mining companies to OBJ
tain exemption for employees, these efforts
being made under instructions from the
IT, S. Bureau of Mines.
The price of lead has declined, as was to
be expected as soon the war demand
ceased 1t is not the result of manipulation
but simply the inevitable result of supply
and demand The lead cannot be sold; the
price necessarily falls and causes some
mines to close.
The fact that the London price Of lead
rose after the war ended, instead of falling,
is due to the action of the British govern
ment, which was the owner of a large ton
mage OF the metal. which it desired to dis
pose Of al profit. This it did by arbitrar-
lily fixing the price and prohibiting the i'm
portation into England of lead from this
and other countries.

The best recommendation for the
Idaho school Of mines Is found in the
character Of the graduates from the
institution and the success they have
achieved in the practical application
of their college training / Many OF
them are well known in the Occur
dAlene district, where as mining en-
gineers, managers, metallurgists and
other positions requiring technical
training they have made enviable rec
ords which reflect the thorough sys-
tenn of instruction that prevails at the
state school of mines. But 1t Is not
alone in the mining districts of Ida
no that graduates Of the school OF
mines are making a name for them
selves and their alma mater They
are scattered all over the world and
their efficient work has given a rep
utation to the Idaho school of mines
that compares favorably with older
institutions Of the same class. The
success achieved by graduates of the

tons filled by them In the organiza

None of the mining companies sold
Bonds; but all, as a patriotic duty urged
their employees to buy Bonds to the utmost
of their ability. To facilitate their pur-
chases the Companies arranged so that the
men might pay for the Bonds in monthly
installments, carrying them for the defer
red payments without interest. The. only
promise made by the Companies was that
they would take over the Bonds Of any en-
pIoye called to the colors. This they did.
In many other cases also, where employees
for good reasons desired to cancel their
subscriptions the Companies although I'M
der no obligation to do So took up the
Bonds and refunded the amounts pail
thereon. The total amount of Bonds So
taken by the Companies exceeds 100000.

the part of the mining Companies The
facts are as stated in the preceding para
