TIKI STATUS OF
PRODUCTS

The industries of mining and smelt-
ing have come through the most try
ing conditions since the close of the
world war. The immediate cutting
off of war demands for all metal
products and the enormous accumu-
lations in the hands of the various
governments, with the imitation of la
Dor and material and products enter
ing into mining operations, left all
mining, smelling and reduction enter
prises suspended in midair. The
monetary metals remained at a fixed
value based on worldwide pre-war
cost of production. Gold and silver
prospecting and mining IN a small
scale has practically been wiped out.
There is scarcely an ounce of gold
silver or platinum taken out of the
earth today but at a loss. and how
long can this continue? A new basis
of value of these metals. fixed by a
law at a higher price, a bonus for
production direct, or a sliding scale
adjusted to an index number found
from the products entering into the
production of monetary metals-some
such plan must be worked out If our
country is to remain the premier pro-
Queer of monetary metals in the
world.

be responsible to individual deposit

run on a business basis.
1t will be interesting to note, of
course, whether this bank makes any
loans to individuals or working peo-
pie who could not get the same loan
at other commercial institutions, and
also whether it loans at less than cur
rent rates of interest. In other words
can this bank, merely because it flies
under the colors of a labor bank"
make loans to irresponsible individ-
uals who could not secur money
from other banks, and still protect
its commercial deposits and its stock
holders.

PSYCHOLOGY OF
DEAD

We don't have much of a chance in
cities the size of Winnemucca to see
the real effects of careless letter writ
ing, or rather the results of INSULT
cient envelope addressing. Now and
then a writer forgets to add the name
of the state after the town or city
appearing on the envelopes, but in the
smaller towns, where the postmaster
knows almost everyone who gets or
sends mail at his office the mistake
can easily be rectified.
But it is different in large cities
and there hundreds of letters pile up
every week for dispatch to the dead
letter office. Someone from here, for
instance, whites someone in New
York or Chicago, or some other large
city. The address looks good to thf
local postmaster and he sends the let
ter on its way. When it reaches the
town to which it is addressed the
clerks discover there is no such street
or no such number. And If the en-
velope does not bear a return card
that letter goes to the dead letter Of
flee. No matter how important ii may
be-no matter if it contains money
or valuable papers-if there is no ad
dress in the corner of the envelope
to which it a be returned, i. is lost
For that reason-and no better rea-
son is needed-we point out the wis
dom of having always handy enve-
lopes upon which your name and ad
dress and a return request are printed.
They cost but a few cents more than
the blank envelope, and when you
understand that the little return card
is the best insurance in the world
against loss, and means the return of
your letter in the event it cannot be
delivered, you'll not hesitate long to
have your envelopes printed, as even
your Uncle Sam advises.

PRESENT
FOOD A

Federal authorities at Indianapolis
have started an investigation to de-
termine who was responsible for
having been left standing in the rail-
road yards while the contents decayed
and became worthless. This is an
inquiry in which every citizen OF the
United States will be interested, an
inquiry which really means as much
as it does to citizens of Indianapolis
The practice is declared to have
prevailed at other points in the u
try within the past few months. too.
In fact, fruits and vegetables have
been allowed to rot at such an alarm
ing rate since the prices began to de-
cline that the United States govern
ment has stepped in to investigate
and, if possible, punish those guilty
of such acts. As a rule, the railroads
have been slow to assist in ferreting
out the parties really responsible, and
it has been hard to tell whether the
blame should rest on the shippers or
the commission houses to which the
foodstuff was consigned. But now
even the railroad officials are becom-
ing alarmed. and promise greater CO.
operation in the Investigations.
Unless someone is punished there is
a danger that the law of supply and
demand will be worthless, for food
sharks will lie able to regulate the
supply, and thereby fix prices to suit
themselves, at the expense of the pro-
Queer at one end of the line and the
consumer al the other. The strong
arm of the federal government is now
raised. Let US hope it d~escends, and
quickly, upon the guilty, for a peni-
tertiary sentence or two would be
sufficient to stop this practice.

A TIMELY CALL
TO DUTY

Republicans of the country will be
they will later suffer If they look
upon the result of the recent election
as q party victory. 1t is a party vic
tory only in the sense that Repub-
licans will be restored to control of
both the legislative and the executive
branches of the government; but as
an analysis Of public sentiment as
manifested in political discussion
leads to the conviction that the course
pursued by the voters In marking
their ballots was determined by their
dissatisfaction with the Democratic
party and its administration of the
affairs of the government, rather than
by implicit confidence in the Repub-
lican organization. More than ever
before in Its history the Republican
party is now on trial before the I'LL
try.
The situation which confronts the
United States is a critical one. BY
many 1t Is believed to be one of the
most critical in our history. How
ever that may be, none will gainsay
the assertion that the problems which
confront the nation are not only most
difficult, but most pressing.
For eight years we have had an
administration of watchful waiting.
of surrender to foreign rivals, of in
te~rnationalism rather than American
ism, of personal government rather
than government by law, of extrava-
gance and ineficiency rather than
economy and high standards of public
service.
We are assured by the successful
Republican nominees that they pro-
pose a return to the government OF
the Constitution, a representative
government with each of the three
coordinate branches exercising its
own functions In cooperation with,
but not subsection to, the others. We
are assured that there will be confer
ence by the head of the administra-
tive branch of the government not
only with members of Congress, but
with citizens everywhere who are in
d pOSltlOu W reuueT Valuable aufiOC
and assistance.
The problems of the day are not,
therefore, for solution by the Presi-
dent and by Congress alone, but all
citizens should perform their duty as
such by making such suggestions as
they can to aid in that reconstruction
process through which the govern
ment will encourage individual initi-
alive. build up a permanent industrial
prosperity on a solid basis, and as
sure the perpetuity of government of,
by and for the people.
From beginning to end of the CAM
paign, Senator Henderson manifested
his full appreciation of the serious
ness Of the task he would assume if
elected to the presidency. The rank
and file of the Republican party
should emulate his example and in
the hour of victory should not permit
their rejoicing over partisan success
to blind them tt the fact that the cleo
ton is a call to duty and responsible
ity rather than a bestowal of the re-
wards Of political victory.

proof of progress lies in an ability to
realize ones own shortcomings and
a determination to correct them. Ex-

a glad sign that the student body has
none, Because of that very fact it
may have a basketball team.

WHO CAN PLACE THE BLAME?

Is there Il studied attempt on the
part of the railroads, or of some OF
them, to discOmmOde the public? 1t
would be a strange thing to do, seem
ingly. 1t is Il fact that freight ship
ments are slow and that the public is
suffering.
Just where the trouble is, the News
Budget does not know, but we cite a
case in point. taken from the Richland
Center. Wis. Rustic. This newspaper
relates that local business man de
sired to rush work on a large garage
which he undertook to direct the build
ing of personally. instead OF letting the
lob to Il contractor. Some OF his
friends p0Oh-hOOed the idea of him be-
ing able to get a building covering a
quarter Of a block constructed Ill less
than six months. However, this fellow
is a man of action. He had trouble
getting cement shipments. He went
personally to Ft Dodge, Iowa, to hurry
along a shipment The cement jObber
there told him that he couldn't get
cars. "Will you load Il car if | will get
one spotted for yOu?" asked the
garage man Certainly" answered
the cement dealer In less than two
hours the car was spotted. The cement
was loaded and shipped and the garage
was built in 81 days.
Now. where was the trouble? The
cement man claimed he could not get
cars. but the garage man got them Is
the trouble with the jObbers or with the
railroads? If with the jobbers, does
The maintenance of high prices have
something to do with the conditions
which prevail in transportation!
Possibly the railroads are not so
much to blame as other interests. The
News-Budget is not i'll position to place
the blame. However. we have had our
troubles and vexatiOns along with 9th
ers. The public would like to know
where the trouble is. OF course, strikes
have caused some of it, but not all OF
it. What is the answer?

PUBLIC ELFARE DEPT.
By Miss Margaret Thomas
Health Nurse

In the coming campaign in the inter
ests of the st. Mary's Hospital, | hope
all citizens will give it their earnest
thought Certainly every one realizes
that we need a hospital in the county
and. as was proven last winter, we need
even larger capacity than we have at
present. All hospitals, even large ones,
are partially dependent upon gifts or
cnGoWments to sustain them. Ihey
cannot be built and sustained by the
inc ONE received from patients. we
all want a place to GO III case OF SICK

pDoushle in sustaining it. 1t is fast be
coming more customary for people to
carry a sick benefit insurance, or be-
long to a benefit lodge.

we think of it, that although we want

own community?
The hospital is also wonderful help

Tt appears that the taxpayers will
have to dig up to pay that government
guaranty given in the new railroad
legislation According to the statement
issued by the Interstate Commerce
commission. the railroads lost SID
G25.529 during the month of April, the
second month under private control
since the railroads were turned back
to their owners During the month OF
April, year ago, the roads showed a
profit Of $50. 703, 1876, according to the
commission. 1t would seem that one
of three things is the trouble: The
railroads are not functiOning properly !;
the rates are not high enough; or their
operating expenses, including salaries,
are too high. Some kind of government
control. rather than sOcialistic owner
ship would seem to be necessary to
get the roads back into normal work
ing condition.
