interests. finds room in Its scheme OF
things for mining or the elements that
are requisites for its successful prose-
cution-an industry that puts millions
into circulation, that employs an army
and furnishes, an outlet for much OF
our surplus farm produce?
And az to personnel, are not the De-
LaInars, the Eastons. the Days and
others Identified with this industry In
Idaho con- parable to the bankers and
merchants and others in point of being
essentials in the great plan of Idaho
producsloa and business expansion?
In othe. words, is not business
that has produced in this state more
than O billion dollars entitled to rank
as potential industrial factor?
To be sure, no one will deny recog-
milton and credit are due the industry
and the men engaged in it, but when
we get down to the hardpan of practice
We find the general treatment of the
industry is of q character hardly In
harmony with its Importance.
This may be, in part because public
attention is not often called to the
business OF mining, and that those en-
gagged in 1t, for the most part are
rarely ever bidders for acclaim or sup
port.
I do not contend that the mining In
dustry should be given special con-
sideration, that 1t should he exalted
above other legitimate industries. but
/ assert that it should be given more
public encouragement and that those
engaged in other large enterprises
should at no time lend themselves to
any effort to tear 1t down or place OBJ
stacles in the pathway of its fullest
development.
And in this I have not specially in
mind the older and larger big-going
mining Institutions -themselves en-
titled to a full measure of fair treat
ment; but the point desire to drive
home is that failure to appreciate what
has been done for Idaho by the min
ing industry, plus a tendency in some
influential quarters to discredit it, has
created a marked and damaging
apathy bearing on the possible min
ing Industry OF the state.
With all its production, Idaho has
hardly been scratched in a mining
way. If we may rely upon the report.

Is this the result of private SELFISH

because Of lack of information?
Whatever the reason, l do not doubt
