The Mineral Age in recent issue
WISELY Calls dlltnllOD " tuC bCCCSSity
of electing men in sympathy with metal
mining industry, regardless of their
party affiliations, as mine taxation, in
dustrial relations, appointment of
senators and representatives for mining
counties. changes in compensation in
surance, loans, state smelters, stream
pollution, school of mines legislation and
appropriation for complex ore investi-
cations are among the important issues
that are already being urged for con-
sideration. Mining men, irrespective of
party, should see that the men who are
receiving their support for legislation
honors are right on these questions. A
little missionary work before the nomi-
nations are made and before election
will accomplish more than many times
the effort after elections.
