THE CITY ELECTION

The late city election is now an
cient history and nothing is to be
gained by discussing the differ
ent opinions that exist as to the
legality of certain procedure in
connection with it unless that dis
cussion is carried on in an hon
est effort to ascertain whether the
procedure complained of was in
fact, legal or illegal, in order
that the mistakes, if any were
made, might be avoided in the fu-
ture. We did not intend to refer
to this subject again at the pres
ent time and should not have done
so except for the peculiar posi-
tion taken by the Register-Call in
it's issue of last week.
The Register-Call takes the
position that no city in the state
is under the primary law. This
would condemn the decision of
Judge Matthews as reported in
the Register-Call of March 26th.
In that decision the Judge con-
tends that the primary law only
applies to cities with a population
of over 1000 and unless it could
be shown that Central City had a
population of more than two
thousand he would rule that it
did not come under the primary
law.
Those who protested the legal
ity of the nominations made by
the Republicans did not contend
that a primary election was neces-
sary, but they did contend that
the City of Central was an incor-
porated city and as such, was un-
der the primary law and that
neither the Republicans or the
Democrats could legally nomin-
ate a ticket under that law except
at a primary election.
Incorporated towns do not
come under the primary law and
they can nominate under the old
law either as Republicans or
Democrats or under. any other
name if the party has standing.
Where the primary law applies if
there has been no primary, the
only legal way to nominate is by
petition.
The whole question can be
summed up as follows:
First: The primary law ap-
plies to all incorporated cities.
Second: 1t does not apply to
incorporated towns.
Third: Is the City of Central
an incorporated city or is it an in
corporated town?

Saving Gold Industry

The continued closing of the
gold mines is bringing the nation
to realization of the fact that if
something is not done to help the
gold miner meet present condi-
tions, we will soon be without
gold.
Gold, the most precious of met
ais, is worth the least. Gold, the
basis of all credit has not advanc-
ed in price in this day of high
prices and though labor and mat
erial have gone up, the miner only
receives the old price of $20.67 an
ounce for his gold.
jewelers. who attribute the ad
vance in the price of their wares
to the increased cost of labor and
material don't pay any more for
their gold than they did twenty
five years ago. AS result of the
low price of gold it is being ex-
ported to countries which pay Il
premium for it.
Gold miners are endeavoring to
have congress authorize prem
ium of $40 an ounce for gold used
in the arts and the sciences but
leaving the same old price at the
mint for monetary purposes in or
der to keep the gold standard
where it has always been. This
would help save the gold mining

While malt sugar has long been

Two factors have stimulated it's pro-

sugar has developed market for 1t,
and the recent prohibition law has
made available both the raw material
and the machinery needed for its
manufacture. Malt sugar sirup is made
from the same grains as beer.and may
be made from corn or potatoes or any
plant containing starch. Barley, which
was used until recently In the manu-
fncture of beer, can be used now to
produce malt sugar sirup.

for Its manufacture. Up to n certain

Malt sugar sirup looks very much
like maple sirup. 1t can be used for
everything that cane sugar is used for.
While It's use on the table may not be
quite as convenient as sugar, 1t Is n
most excellent substitute for table use
when sugar Is not to be had, as II not

PUBLIC RIGHTS

If we should adopt the Plumb
plan and it should prove to be a
success, it would mean the end of
all private utility corporations.
Upon the other hand if it should
prove to be a failure, the opposi-
tion to private ownership of pub
lie utilities would receive a blow
from which it could not recover
in the next hundred years. And
the railroads would in the end be
returned to private ownership, in
all probability, for a less sum
than the government paid for
them.
All public utilities corporations
know this and if they knew that
the Plumb plan would prove a
failure they would favor it's
adoption, but they do not know
this: on the contrary they have
every reason to believe that it
would prove to be a complete sue
cess, hence we may expect their
united opposition to the plan. We
cannot expect them to do other
wise. The most of us oppose leg
islation which we consider detri-
mental to our own private inter-
est without giving much heed to
the interest of the general pub
lie.
One of the fundamental ideas
upon which our form of govern
ment is based, gives to the major
ity the right to make, any changes
which they may deem necessary
to promote the welfare of the peo-
pie, even tho those changes may
be detrimental to the interests of
a minority.
Two changes that have been
made in recent times we'll illus
trates this point. The first is the
demonetization of silver. The sec
ond is our prohibition law. The
first was of untold damage to
those engaged in silver mining.
The second brought great prop
erty damage to those who were
engaged in the liquor business,
but the majority decided that
these changes should be made
and the minority were forced to
yield, but the Plumb plan propos-
es less radical legislation than
that made in the changes referred
to.
In the two changes that we have
cited, the government did not
make good the loss of the busi-
ness which the law had damaged
or destroyed, while the Plumb

TOXIC, Aug, ?, (By the Associated

voiced by the Yomi- Yurishimbun, is
that the Japanese militarists are TO

Russian territory by Japan constituted

After pointing out that Japan had

ness OF the conflict and aggravated by
famine on one side and accumulated

other. The war brought about two
