Americas Future is Bright

During the past five years construc-
ton has been almost at a standstin I
the United States Construction DIM
inished even before the outbreak Of
the war. As most men Will remem-
Der, and as all men can ascertain by
looking AZ the files of commercial pa
pers, there was a marked falling Off
il building permits in practically all
cities, following the Inauguration of
the democratic administration 1913.
There was disposition not to invest
money in construction in view of the
unsound economic legislation that was
certain to be enacted.
The period OF industrial depression
was followed by an abnormal period
of prosperity based upon war orders,
so that war industries absorbed all
available labor making normal con-
struction impossible Everything in
the line of peace time construction was
neglected. Home-building in both
city and country remained stationary.
Railroads built no new tracks and
neglected repairs to their property,
such as renewing ties, reconstructing
bridges, buying new cars, etc. In al
most every city the schoolhouse facil- I
titles are inadequate. office building
space does not near meet the demand. |
Enterprises requiring structural steel
have deferred construction owing to F
the fact that during the war the steel
mills were busy on war orders
All these facts furnish the basis for
the prediction that for the next three
to five years at least, there win be
work for all who want it, and occupa-
ton for every useful enterprise. II

SOLVES ORE PROBLEM.
Oil Flotation Proves Successful With
Complex Ores.

Complex Ores.
Three years of experimentation
with the complex ore of the great
Sullivan lead-zinc mine at Kimber-
ley, owned 10y the Consolidated Min
ing & Smelling company of Canada,
came to a head at Trail on Wednes-
day Of last week with the completion
Of the 6G0-ton mill for the treatment
of the zinc ore, the principal output
of this property. Large though this
mill is as mills in the Kootenay go, it
is still in a sense an experimental mill
though it will handle a commercial
tonnage. but it represents the entry
on final lap of the long grind to
solve the Sunivan's ore problems.
During 1919 the Sullivan sent to the
Trail smelter 1866 tons of ore, Of
which 1885 was classed as zinc,
and the balance lead, and had the
strike not reduced the output during
the fall months the tonnage would
have been larger still. The mine now
3 among the largest on the contin-
ent.
But its 1919 output will look small
in two or three years and the Sulli
van will rank as one of the great
mines of the world, when finally the
great 1000 or 25OO-ton concentration is
built at Kimberley. to which the plant
Just completed in connection with the
smelter at Trail looks
forward.
The oil flotation process, in one
form or another. is the solution Of
the complex zinc ore problem Of the
Kootenay, and all properties that
have a proportion Of zinc ore and are
with mills have installed |
some form of it. This has arisen |
within the last four or five years, and !
the big laboratories at Trail have been |
an important agency in developing it, !

Steps in Reconstruction

Unfortunately for the world in it.
present conditions, reconstruction j..
not a state of mind. If it were we
might work ourselves up to being
cheerful, serious or earnest and solve
our troubles by the application Of a
little psychology. Reconstruction is a
definite, practical program in which the
various steps must be properly co-or-
dinated and taken, as far as possible, in
logical sequence.
Deflation cannot be accomplished in
ruthless, haphazard way amy more
than an antiquated skyscraper can be
safely removed from the urban land
scape by blowing up the foundations
with dynamite. Nor is it likely that
deflation can be effectively brought
about in this country with initiation
prevailing in most other countries
About twenty-four years ago a young
orator from the west created some per
turbation as a result of his proposal
to have the United States embark on
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of sixteen to-one without
the aid or consent of any other nation
on earth. Similarly it is doubtful il
we by ourselves can "deflate' without
some outside cooperation.
Banking opinion also is more or less
divided as to the efficacy of the ad-
vance in the federal reserve discount
rates as a means for the accomplish
ment Of u well-meant purpose The
objection lies not so much in the action
itself as in the expectations based up
on it, 1t is felt, in other words, that
the federal reserve board measures
should be part Of a general policy, not
a complete program in itself.
The first step undoubtedly must be
systematic retrenchment in govern
mental expenditures through the adop-
ton of a ,well-planned budget system |
These reforms cannot be effected |
through hasty economies such as have /
been attempted in congress in the last /
two weeks. Not only the United Sta
ties but the countries of Europe will
have to balance their budgets without
borrowing Then and not till then will
we have proof of solvency.
When we have settled on our ex-
penditures we can proceed to the re-
form in our taxation methods. The ex-
cess profits tax should go. 1t is an
as a peace-time revenue
measure and was adopted in the first
place only as a corrective to govern
mental price-fixing. The attempt to
transfer this burden to the lower
brackets of the income tax cannot be
defended from the standpoint of pur-
1ose-the desire to raise revenue and
'educe prices. By our present method
he public is forced to pay the eX-
rene rate of income and profits taxes
Trough additions to the price Of arti- q
les bought. A consumption tax or a !
ak on sales, replacing the profits tax d
nd to some extent reducing the in I
ONE tax, would effect an immediate t
eduction in price and operate as a o
trong deterrent to needless buying. S
he tax would fall upon the buyer in
tead of on the producer who has been I

aver. The prime incentive for pro- a
iteering would disappear The only s
,av TO dodge taxes would be to save. Il
he tax should be easy to administer h
Or if would be in the form of stamps.

to save the party's chances for victory
had no other alternative than to re-

to allow the Wilson leadership to have
its way. We cannot but voice a feel

of the Democratic party is the wilder
ness. The only grain of comfort we
can draw from the result is that the re-

so complete that reorganization on
sane lines should be undertaken and
carried through.

ZONE POSTAL Law

The publishers Of the daily and
weekly newspapers Of the smaller cit
les and towns Of this country cannot
afford to sit idly by and permit the
big publishing interests Of the large
cities to secure the repeal Of the zone
postal law
In the effort made to repeal this law
at the last session Of Congress the
publishers Of the small cities and coun-
ty towns demonstrated their influence
at Washington. II was the first time
there had ever been anything like col
lective effort on the part Of this class
of publishers, and the results showed
that they can WELD a tremendous in
fluence when they unselfishly exert
themselves in any cause that is for the
genearl good Of the American people,
and is fair.
The effort Of the big publication In
terests to fool the American people,
and If possible make them think the
zone rates apply to the reading matter
the people are buying, is unworthy of
the publishers who are engaged in it.
But SO long as this interruptions effort
is continued. the publishers who have
fought for the retention Of this law
should continue their efforts to pre-
vent its repeal.
The general public would not know
ingly countenance mail subsidy to
the Big manufacturing or jobbing in
terests Of the nation. and yet that is
Just what the magazine and other me-
tropolitan papers are asking for. They
want a postage law that will put the
business announcements of these mani
ufacturing and jobbing concerns on
the same basis as the reading matter
Of the publications for which the gem
eral public IS paying in the way Of
subscriptions.
The repeal Of the zone postal law
would also make it possible for the
publishing interests of the city to make
advertising rates on a per thousand Of
circulation basis SO low that it would
Be impossible for the smaller publica-
tions. covering purely local fields. and
with limited calculations. to compete
with them.
