COLD IS TOO CHEAP
Mine Owners Clamor for Hike
in Price of Metal.
Cost of Digging Now Equals
Price Paid, They Claim.

Washington. Dec. 17.-Gold mine
owners and operators now are clam
oring to be permitted to boost the
price of gold which is fixed by law
at s2o67 an ounce.
Agitation for the increase is intense
here. Government offices are clogged
with pamphlets and statistics showing
that gold mnes are running in the
hole" Secretary Glass and Secretary
Lane have given the matter some
thought And the United States geo.
logical survey is preparing a state
ment.
The need for an increase is de-
scribed as Imperative Many gold
mines have closed to escape bank
ruptcy, officials are told. Government
figures are cited to show that produc-
ton has taken a big drop. More
mines will be forced to shut down
unless relief is afforded, it is pre-
dicted.
The picture as painted indicates that
the popular conception that the gold
mine owner must be a millionaire is
all wrong. In fact, digging for the
most precious metai' now is barely
worth while, it is set forth on behalf
of operators.
The reason? The rising cost OF
labor and supplies, coupled with a sta
tionary price for the product, is the
reply made for mine owners. 1t was
| in 1897, it is emphasized. that con-
gress fixed the present price.
Only by the practice of the most
rigid economy have mines now op-
Grating been able to avoid shutting
down, it is explained.

arraigned before Magistrate Frank
Gustafson Saturday afternoon, the
magistrate, James Johnston, city
attorney, and Edgar Owens, Social
list leader, agreeing to the post

ney from Rockford. The Socialist

of Moline, in direct violation of the

Ketchum was found guilty in the
Moline police court, the Socialists
making no defense and admitting
that bills were distributed. He was

and John w. Casio. Mr.. Miller
told of the manufacturing field in
East Moline and what the r. & v.
companies had done during the

of hundreds OF men and women.
Father Barry, who was recently
assigned to the East Moline field,
impressed his hearers that he is
there at the service of everyone and
not only the Catholic denomination.
He said he has been struck by the
spirit of the people. which he highly
favored and that he is sure the
field will be one of success for him.
Mr.. Casio asked cooperation in
the city, declaring that there should
be unison between the administra-
ton and city organizations. Be

Rock Island agents, will be in
charge.
The corporation forms, No. 1120,
are complex and to make work
easier for firms, the income tax
men are willing to have the even
ing session. These blanks are the
regular forms, corporations hav-
ing been permitted to file tenta-
tive reports before March Is, pro-
viding they paid one-fourth of the
estimated tax. The reason that
the tentative forms were distrib-
uted was due to the shortage of
the regular corporation forms.

a report before March 10, will be
allowed to do so this week They
will be asked to file an affidavit,
giving a legitimate reason for the
failure to file before March Is, and
