COX A CARELESS CRITIC.

Governor Cox made some wild statements in his
speech of acceptance For instance, he denied flat
ly that the recent congress passed single icon.
sructive measure" He ought to read the files oil
his newspaper. Il
This congress passed a law reorganizing railroad
operation from top to bottom. This is so good a
law that Governor Cox makes no suggestions for
the roads to be thoroughly tried out. 1t must have
been pretty constructive" law to have got by the
governors eagle eye out looking for trouble about
all that the republicans have done.
Congress also passed budget bill recognizing
our chaotic finances, which was vetoed on a tech
nicality by the president. Congress reorganzed the
army, passed legislation for rehabilitation of wound
ed soldiers. 1t enacted law releasing water powers
and oil lands which had been tied up unutilized
II passed merchant marine bill and many other
big acts.
And all this was done while the time of the SEN
ate was taken up by the presidents willful obstnacy
in insisting on haxing peace treaty just he him
self made it.
Yet Governor Cox says not one constructive
act was passed. lie is TOO "Cox sure"
According to his idea the league of nations treaty
gin to construct new army to go to fulfill the
promises which Cox says he would keep for Presi-
dent wilson, who alone made them when the senate
had given notice they shall not pass"
Governor Cox may not consider the following
measures constructive but they were passed for the
good Of the country by the present congress:
The Sterling Anti-Sedon act and the Johnson
bill providing for the deportation and exclusion
dangerous aliens
The Edge bill authorizing the formation Of cor
porations to finance American export trade. 1t will
help business and labor
The Civil Service Retirement bill. 1t will pro-
vide for the worn out.
The Postal Pay Increase bill, 1t will save en-
ployes from want.
An act to pension soldiers and sailors Of the
Spanish American war, the Philippines Instruction
and the China relief expedition. Many deserve and
need it.
The Industrial Vocational Rehabilitation bill. 1t
will help disabled soldiers
A bill permitting government owned radio sta
tons to handle private and press messages 1t will
help Asatic interests
An act amending the Trading With the Enemy
act so as to permit the restoration of seized property
to return enemy aliens and to residents of former
enemy countries residents of new countries set
up under the peace treaty
An act to establish a woman's bureau in the De-
partment of Labor. 1t will give women a better
future.

ROW OVER POOL HALL
IN EAST LAS VEGAS
Especial Correspondence to The Journa,,

Especial Correspondence 20 The JournaIl
East Las Vegas, N. NJ, Aug. 10.
Jerome Nicer, who came here re-
Gently from Ration with the inten-
ton of opening n pool hall, is hav-
ing difficulties in getting into bust
ness. Nicer purchased the Peter
Roth building, a two-story struc-
ture on the south side of Douglas
avenue, between Sixth and Seventh
streets, in the heart of the business
section. He had his pool tables and
other furniture sent here, and then
discovered, when he applied to the
city council for a license, that one
could not be issued him because
of an ordinance limiting the num-
Der of pool halls to four, the num-
Der now in existence. Nicer pro-
ceeded to get ready for business,
and was about to open on August
10, when City Attorney Charles w.
G. G.. Ward secured from Judge
DAVID j. Leahy a temporary injunc-
ton against the opening of the hall.
Nicer has been given until August
rs to show cause why the injunc-
ton should not be made perma-
nent. He is represented by Hunker
and Noble, who assert that the city
ordinance is unconstitutional and
tends to create monopolies.

THE MAXIM OF FRIENDS.

If nobody smiled and nobody cheered and nobody
helped us along,
II each every minute looked after himself and the
good things all went to the strong,
If nobody cared just little for you and nobody
thought about me,
And we stood all alone to the battle of life what
dreary old world it would be!
If there weren't such thing flag in the sky
as symbol of comradeship here.
If we lived the animals live in the woods. with
nothing held sacred or dear,
And sefishness ruled from birth to the end
and never a neighbor had We,
And never We gave to another in need, what
dreary old world 1t would be!
oh, If We were rich the richest on earth and
strong as the strongest that lives.
Yet never we knew the delight and the charm of
the smile which the other man gives
If kindness were never part of ourselves, though
we owned all the land We could see,
And friendship meant nothing at all to us here,
what dreary old world it would be!
Life is sweet just because of the friends we have
made and the things which in common We
share,
We want to live on not because Of ourselves, but
because of the people who care;
It's giving and doing for somebody else--on that
all life's splendor depends,
And the Joy of this world. when you've summed IT
all up. is found in the making Of friends.

THE CHINO MINES.

| Edltof Morning journal:
There has been a good deal of
loose talk regarding the taxes paid
by the mines. John M. Sully is
quoted as saying that the Chino
pays taxes on So per cent of the
value of the Chino property as
shown by the sale price of the
stock. If Mr., Sully made that state
ment, it is true. and the Chino pays
about on par with the taxes as
sessed against other property
business houses and residences, for
example, / do not know what the
taxes of the Chino now are. Ac-
cording to a statement, the Chino
paid 100000 in 1917 or 1918.
But it should be very easy to ar
rive at the value for taxation pur-
poses. The par value of Chino
stock makes the entire capitaliza-
ton $4,340,000. The par value of
the shares is five dollars. But Chino
has been selling. on an average, for
$35 a share. Just now the price is
a little lower. Before the federal
income tax began to lay a heavy
hand on the Chino, the stock was
quoted, as high as $50. But we
may accept $35 as a fair average
price of this stock, the par value
of which is IS. Thus it will be seen
that the Chino, according to the
sale value of its stock, is worth
above $3O,O00,000.
But a statement of Hayden and
Stone, of New York, fiscal agents Of
the Chino, places it's visible assets
at $25,000,O0O. The Chino should
be taxed on a valuation of $25,O0O,-
