Ignore the Dry Issue )
More Serious Business To E,
Considered, He Holds

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is my belief that the Re-
publican party should not accept the
prohibition question as an issue. We
might better pledge ourselves to the
serious business of enforcing the laws
appertaining to prohibition.
1t has yet to be proved that there
was any constitutional irregularity IL
the processes by which the Eighteenth
Amendment was ratified.
The judicial power, as to the inter
probation and operation of the Con-
stitution, the people have delegated to
the Supreme Court. They have dele
gated to no one the authority of arrest
ing the operation of their high instru-
ment Of government. That authority
they have reserved unto themselves.
Prohibition is not now question for
debate, but a law to be sustained.
This is why, believe, we should not
accept prohibition as party issue

Unionisr,, Upheld
As Labor's Right
CollectiUe Bargaining Is
Prescribed as a. Cure
for Industrial Ills
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent interview one of
the Republican Presidential candidates
gave as one of the planks of his plat
form: Better relations between capt.
tai and labor" Now, such a suggestion
requires no profound thought and
gives no promise Of reaching an ade-
quate solution Of the labor problem.
Indeed, with the exception Of the I.
". W., we all want better relations
to exist between labor and capital.
Compulsory arbitration is suggested,
but compulsory arbitration is based
on wrong principles in that it keeps
the two disputing factions separate.
The settlement is made by a third
party and it usually happens that he
splits the difference" which is often
unsatisfactory. At. best, this system
is makeshift.
Clearly, the greatest need is con-
fdence based on fair dealing. Now
confidence will never be gained by each
side arming itself for still further con-
flict. The only way in which we can
ever hope to secure confidence and CO.
operation between capital and labor is
by bringing both parties together for
a full and frank discussion. by recog-
milton of the right of wage earners to
bargain collectively and have repre-
sentation in all negotiations for wage
adjustments.

the abandonment of ex-President
Taft's arbitration treaties.
The two-thirds voting requirement
has been guarded by the Senate as
tenaciously as it has been assaulted.
The country is familiar with both
viewpoints, The Senate should
rightly act as balance wheel in the
determination Of foreign policy, but
it moves ponderously on rusty axis.
The Senate should exercise its power
of consent through majority vote.
Thus the Senate would be made, so
far as humanity possible, q COOPER
alive, rather than obstructive, part
ner Of the Executive, while equality
would be preserved between them,
except as the initiative in foreign
policy would still remain with the
President. DAVID T. EATON.

to preserve the political institutions of
this country in all their purity for the
American people and all others who
are sincere, bona-fide, law-abding citi-
zens by adoption.
We shall resist to the limit of our
power any attack upon these institu-

Improve Diplomatic Service
Resolved, That it shall be the policy
of the Republican party to maintain
unimpaired che high prestige of the
United States resulting from its de-.
cisive and victorious participation in
the war with the Central Empires
by diplomatic service worthy Of the
great nation which ut is to represent.
Resolved, That to improve and
strengthen the diplomatic service Of
the United States it shall be the pol
icy of the Republican party to
remove diplomatic appointments from
politics and place the entire system
upon reasonable scivil service
basis; to grant salaries sufficient
to enable the ENJOYS of the United
States to maintain the position
which is expected Of the repre-
sentatives of the wealthiest and most
powerful government in the world,
and to adopt a vigorous policy of pro-
lection of American citizens in for

Problem of Teachers Pay
1t Is Held an Issue That Cannot
Be Cared For in Platform

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There mas been a great deal
Of discussion in regard to teachers and
their salaries. Teaching has never
been lucrative employment Some
of the poverty associated with the
monks and friars, who were among
the earliest teachers, has continued
with the profession.
1t is reform entirely to be dealt
with by popular demand and public
approval, but does not come in the
class Of platform issues. H. VI.

To-Day's Prize Letter
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The lack of necessary CO.
ordination between the two treaty
making branches of our government
never has been demonstrated moro
forcefully than in the last seven
months. The morass in which the
Senate has been laundering is but
more serious development Of an his
torical defect in our constitutional
treaty-making arrangements. 1t is
not native to the present Administra-
ton.
1t was the constant antagonism be-
tween Executive and Senate in for.
eign affairs which embittered John
Hays Secretaryship Of State and led
to such complications in his negoti-
alton of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

Indirect Taxation Endorsed

We pledge ourselves to use every
means to reduce the direct taxation
of the people, and toward that end to
effect drastic retrenchment in gov

raising revenue for government needs,
and we pledge our best endeavors to
substitute indirect for direct taxation
wherever possible.-H. G. Chase

We deplore the dilatory tactics of

Lyon County public do you know
What your school girls have been max
ing and saving for thenlscles this last
summer?
Forty-five girls, between ten and lS
years or age in the schools OF Lyon
County have, as members of the sew
ing club, under the direction of the
Bows and Girls Club Work Of the Ex-
tension Division of the University Oh
Nevada, learned to sew and have made
a profit OH their work OF $1o5.o5.
The sewing club in this county has
been supervised by Miss Leah Barker,
District Club Leader. Beginning with
November 3rd until June 9TH she has
visited the communities this last winter
and Spring every two weeks and met
the classes for two hours at time
1t has required an average OF II les
sons or six months to carry the sewing
through to completion. A very fail
percentage OF the enrolment was COM
pletcd in a most satisfactory manner.
The above mentioned profit repre-
sents the following garments made:
II sewing bags. caps and aprons, Il
holder and towels, p dresses, 10 prin-
cess slips and 10 chemises and the re,
pairing OF Is articles
The cost OF the sewing TO the girls
has been estimated at about Sl25O0,
the garments made valued at about
$500 CO cash, but the actual value to
|, the girls cannot be estimated. OF the
45 girls taking sewing this year, 20
were doing the advanced sewing, and
were doing the advanced sewing and
25 the elementary sewing Those
girls in the advanced class took the

INCREASED RATES
BAD FOR NEVADA

The order Of the Interstate Com
merce commission allowing freight
increases OF Is per cent i'll the noun
tain-P Pacific territory will practically
.annihilate the mining industry Of Ne
vada, according to Commissioner
]. + Saughnessy, of the Nevada pub
lie service, who appeared before the
federal commission at the hearing for
increaed rates and who urged that no
increase be allowed in the western
states.
"1'he order OF the interstate COM
merce commission will result not only
in the ruination OF the mining indus
try in Nevada, but i'll decreased rail
road revenues as we'll said Mr.,
Shaughnessy. Based on present
prices, it will automatically close
many producing and shipping mines.
] illustrated the effect Of the pro-
posed order before the commission by
citing two instances in Nevada.
The Nevada Consolidated Copper
company's net receipts for 1919
amounted to $336O00. Increased
railroad charges OH coal, coke and 9th
er supplies inbound and blister copper
outbound would amount to $345 900, or
$4,000 in excess OF the net receipts.
The Virginia Louise ming, at Phoebe.
ships $50 tons of ore per day to the
Utah smelters at the low net profit
OF 50 per cent ton. The Salt Lake
line is afforded 100000 in gross earn
ngs by the shipment and it is almost
certain that this business would no
longer exist under increased rates.
"The 20 per cent increase in pas
senger rates will increase the tares
from to AS per mile on the larger
lines and from 5 cents to 6 cents on
branch lines Outside OF few west
ern states, the commissions ruling
will increase sares from 3 to SO cents
per mile. This is obviously all injus-
tice. A Pullman berth hereafter will
be So per night, instead of 81, the rate
at present prevailing.
Hearings for increase i'll fares by
companies engaged in Nevada inter-
state busines will be heard before the
Nevada public service commission in
ten days Citations are now being is
sued. Interested parties are urged to
be present at the hearing.
