SILVER MINERS
REAPBENEFlTS
OF HIGH PRICE

PHOENIX, April % (by Associated
Press) .-Silver is king again in Ari-
ona, says c. P. Reiniger, president of
the Association of Arizona Mining
men. With the copper market stagnant
as a result of the cessation of war re-
t,uirements, the demands for white
metal are pouring in from all corners
of the globe. Many of the producers
are replacing their experimenting
equipment with plants to turn out
silver.
There is a big demand for silver
in China and India" says George p.
Bethuns, OF Globe. "The United
States government is filling it at 81
an ounce, the same price at which it
is supplying 2O0,OO0,0OO ounces of the
metal to the British government on
contract"
Years ago when Tombstone was at
the height of it's fame, Arizona was a
great silver producer. Then came the
slump. Copper was discovered. Last
year, according to the estimate of the
United States geological survey, Ari-
IONA produced $192,OOO,OO0 worth of
copper. "Give us "copper"" was the
cry from the United States and the
allies.
With the armistice conditions
changed overnight. One billion pounds
of copper, more than a third of
which was Arizona production, are es-
timated to be awaiting sale but cop
per is down and silver is up.
Surveys of the state indicate that in
the Prescott and Tucson mines silver
predominates over the other metals;
in Bisbee, Jerome, Globe and Ajo it's
values as a by-product run heavily.
From the neighborhood of Prescott
come reports of the revival of old
silver mines Battle Flat, scene Of a
sanguinary Indian fight in the seven
ties, is reported to have yielded new
discoveries of silver and two fresh
camps have been opened on this spur
of the northern slope of the Brad
shaws.

silver production of $6,S13,0O0 in Ari-
IONA during 1918, but producers state
that this does not represent anything
like the total value of the white
metal recovered.

representative Schuyler Merritt, Of
Connecticut. requesting that you make
amends for your mistake by making
public admission of the fact"
Mr.. Lewis's statement says:
Some one has done me very great
injustice, and | feel that the public
should know it, 1t has been charged
against me that I made certain state
monts that never made and would not
make. In his instructions to the Fed
eral grand jury which is now investi-
eating the coal industry Judge Ander-
son called attention to a speech made
by member of Congress on October
20, in which that Congressman said:
Congressman's Speech Quoted
MIR John L. Lewis, now acting
president of the United Mine Workers,
when attending one of the joint con-
ferences with the operators referred
to the purpose of the conference as
follows:
AS l understand it. it is for the
purpose of wiping out competition be-
tween US as miners first, viewing it
from our side of the question; next, for
the purpose of wiping out competition
as between the operators in these four
states. When we have succeeded in
that and we have perfected an organ
u,
then If | understand the real purpose
OF this movement, it is that we will
Jointly declare war on every man out
side OF this competitive field who will
40 anything in any way endangering
the peace that exists between US.
What is necessary to do this
Organize our forces in the competing
fields as far as the United Mine
Workers are concerned. Go into these
outside competing fields and tell your
competitors that they have to join this
movement, whether they like it or not
and give stability to the coal business
OF the United States.''
Merritt Called Enemy of Labor
This Congressman was Schuyler
Merritt, of Connecticut, known to be
one OF the most implacable enemies of
organized labor. Why he made such
statement about me passes nv under
standing, for he had not the slightest
grounds for doing so. At no time. at
no place, and under no circumstance
did | ever make the statement which
| he charges to me. CONGRESSMAN
Merritt could have learned the truth
before making the speech if he hae
wished to do so.
Judge Anderson had a right to rely
on the speech of Congressman Merritt
as containing the truth, for the speech
was published in the Congressional
Record, thus giving it official stand
ing. But | say now that Congressman
Merritt's quotation of statements
alleged to have been made by me is
false ana wholly unwarranted.
II have written Congressman Merritt
letter demanding a retraction OF the
false charge which he made agains
me and which now forms one of The
important bases for the Federal CRANE
/ jury investigations"

EARLIER CONGRESSIONAL SESS-
IONS

Students of our political system have
on a number of occasions directed atten-
ton to the disadvantages inheret in the
existence Of the long interval between the
time when congressman are elected and
that when they take their seats Thus,
under present practice, without a call
from the President to convene in extra
session representatives elected in Nov. in
one year do not begin their legislative
work until the December period, as will
be seen, is one of nearly thirteen months.
and it is easy to recognizez the force of
the argument that under the circumstan-
ces the will Of the electorate is not so fresh
ly reflected as it would be if Congress con
vened at an earlier date after election.
Other drawbacks of the present pactice
are that it leaves Congress unorganized
for nine months and that too large an
amount of legislation is crowded into the
short session with which each Congress
comes to an end. More than academic in
terest is now lent to the subject by bill
framed by Representative Macarthur of
Oregon which proposes that in addition to
the present regular annual session of con-
gress as provided by section of the first
article of the Constitution there shall be
a session on each Congress following the
present one, commencing at noon the
fifth day of March following the election
of such Congress, except when the date
falls on Sunday in which case Congress
shall convene on the following day. The
proposal is sound and sensible one and
there is nothing in the Congress to pre-
vent its adoption; indeed, the concluding
sentence in section assumes that Cong
ress may if it desires appoint another day
than the first Monday of December i,r
the annual ting.-Bradstreet

Why Cut Off Both Legs

Some propose to pile It onto real
estate. already nearly crushed with
taxation; others say tax personal pro-
Iperty; others say state income tar.
The latter plan is easy, for the fed
!eral government has already paved
the way. and the lawmaker has a
smooth easy road to travel to get
\ more revenues.
:. The remedy is like amputating a
legsto cure wound, and then say
while we are at 1t just as well take
both legs off--have state and fed
ieral income tax.
Legislatures, state and local govern
ments are notorious for wastefulness
and ineficiency and the way to meet
deficits is by radical cuts in dispen-
|sible expenditures.
Retrenchment in extravaeence in
unnecessary outlays, must be made
If states and local government are
to remain solvent.

LUXURY TAX TO co

Among other things which will receive
the attention of the Sixty-sixth Congress
according to Senator Penrose, who will
be chairman of the Senate Finance COM
mittee, will be the luxury taxes which
the Free Trade administration inflicted
upon the people of this country. He is in
favor of the repeal of these taxes and
there is little doubt but that they will be
repealed. Some of them, doubtless, are
well enough, but it is poor way to raise
money and certainly a most unpopular
one. 1t is not so much the amount of the
taxes as it is the petty bother and annoy
ance. And it is all so useless. Had we
had an adequate Protective Tariff, we
should not have been driven to the neces-
sity of Stealing candy from babies" in

WOULD SINK GERMAN SHIPS

Secretary Daniels pauses in his sight
seeing tour of Europe to remark that
sinking the surrendered German navy
would constitute "the greatest moral les
son Of the war" To make the moral
spectacle the more edifying, he would
have the Hunnish ships of war "sunk
with bands playing and flags flying to
keep company with the merchantmen the
German navy destroyed"
Mr. Daniels, if we mistake not, is the
first American statesman to permit his
name to be connected with this absurd
suggestion. 1t has been put forward as
an American proposal, but Americans
generally have ridiculed it as both waste
full and silly.The last information on the
subject was that France and Italy were
to be given their share for rational use
and that the British and American quotas
were to be scuttled.
Such a performance could be made a
@great moral lesson" only if Kaiser Viii

THE WEST HAS IT'S INNING

The middle west is getting it's "war
profits" now.
In the frantic rush of war preparation
the industrial centers of the east and the
pots along both coasts got the cream of
the war business. The middle west was
but little affected Cities like Fargo, for
instance, scarcely knew, from an inlus-
trial standpoint, that war was in pro-
gress There was little or no change in
the industrial life.
But now that the war is over, the big
industrial ceEters are finding that war
industries were not an umixed blessing.
Another great upheaval is in progress, as
the industries return to a peace basis. 1t
is only in such centers that unemploy-
ment. problems are pressing.
Meanwhile the middle west is one great
grain field, carrying the promise of the
greatest crop ever grown in America,
with the certainty of top. prices for all
products. The middle west is stirring
with optimism and prosperity. If the
crope materialize, nothing can stem the
tide of prosperity in the great section, Of
the country lying between the AAegeniee
and the Rockies. The crops will force the
building operations despite high prices.
The middle west is leading the way to-
peace, prosperity just as the, great. manu-,

THE GERMAN METHOD

Germans leave nothing to chance. They
study the situation in advance and then
lay their plans accordingly. We may adj
mire their thoroughness though we do
not care to emulate their methods. Think
of government that issues instructions
to its representatives advising them to
minister to the weaknesses and deprav
tiles of their customers in order to gain
trade. The same hellish, calculating
cOldbloodedness which caused their en-
trance into war and which caused so
many of their fiendish atrocities, is to be
extended into their war for commercial
supremacy.
Hereafter, according to dispatches, the
commercial travellers are to be govern
ment officials. Detailed instructions are
issued to them, among them being the
following:
mo useful detail should escape the at
tention of an efficient commercial trav-
eler When you have to deal with diff
ficult customer, and when you have ex-
hausted all the devices set out in your
manual to other means; find out the Gus
toner's weaknesses and exploit them;
feed him or pander to his passions; OF
fer him his fav0rite wine; give him a
good humor; take him to the theatre;
spend money on him and on his friends
and on all who can advertise you and
your wares; all outlay will be refunded to
you by your employer or by ourselves, the
Department. Of Commerce"
President Wilson has said that we have
no quarrel with the German people. Mem
bers Of his cabinet are at this very mo-
ment planning to import potash and dye
stuffs in exchange for our foodstuffs, al
leging that it will not be detrimental to
our domestic industries to do so. 1t seems
that there is planning on both sides of
the sea, both in Germany and in our Free
Trade cabinet. Just how the Germans GO
about it is outlined above Exploit his
weaknesses, feed him. give him his favor
lite wine, pander to his passions" We
wonder if there are any Germna CONNER
cial travellers in Washington at the pres
ent time. Or are they all in the federal
penitentiaries? We believe that there
are laws on the statute books of the Unit
ed States which would exclude every Ger
man commercial traveller from landing
in this country, and we respectfully invite
the attention of our immigration officials
to the fact that these men are nothing but
"panders" duly commissioned by the Ger
man government as corruptors of human
ity.-American Economist
