The Other Side of The Case

A conference of Governors was re-
Gently held in Denver IN order to
forward thei1 plan of having the I'M
appropriated public domain turned ov-
er to the states.
There is one question which the
advocats of this scheme do not answer
If the states receive the public do
main and proceed to sell 1T, what will
they do to safe guard the grazing
rights, especially of small homestead
ers who can not compete with large
outfits in purchasing land? What
precaution will be taken against the
building up large land monopolies, and
repeating the same sort of mistake
by which in the earlier days the best
timber resources of the nation-the
heritage of all the people-passed
into private hands? If the states are
not going to sell it, what are they 60
ing to do to rehabilitate the range?
No plan for the disposal of the public
domain should receive serious con-
sideration which does not incfude some
equitable scheme for handling present
and future range equities and which
does not provide for restoring the
Public ranges to productiveness.

GOLD OUTPUT OF
STATE DECREASES

Reports recently made public by
the United States geological survey
show that the production of gold from
the Arizona mines decreased from
$5,435,027 in 1918 to about 81 ,231 900
in 1919.
This decrease which amounted to
$1,204, 900, was result of the general
curtailment in the production of COP
per ore. More than half the output
of gold from Arizona came from the
gold ores Of the San Francisco dis
trict of Mohave county, though there
was decrease from this source as
well as from. the copper ores. The
United Eastern company remained the
largest pio.ucer of gold iii the state,
and the Tom Reed company continu-
ed its large output. The Copper
Chief mine, in the Verde district, and
the Gold Road mine, at Oatman, were
idle.
These once. important producers
were forced to close down for reason
of the increased cost of productin 1t
is said by eminent mining authorities
that the cost of labor and supplies in
gold mining have advanced from so
to 60 per cent and that the expense of
treating the ore after it is mined is
even more than that.
1t has just been disclosed by the
United States assay office at New
York that there was sold for the use
of jewellers, dentistry and other COM
mercial users during last year s4S,-
56S.69S in gold bullion. This is at a
rate of about 100000, 900 for the year,
equal to the production or the country
Gold producers have asked the gov
eminent to place premium of $40 an
ounce on gold which would enable the
gold producers to increase their pro-
duction and invite investments in gold
properties.

PATRIOTS FIRST


T. H. Fulcher and his sons, J. F..
Fulcher and s. L. Fulcher, success
full stockmen of the county, were in
Clifton during the week Probably
the records of the War Department
could not show better proof of pat
riotism in the recent war than was
shown by Mr. Fulcher and his sons,
all three OF whom came to the defense
of their country when the call went
out. After Mr. Fulcher's sons had en-
tered the service, he applied for en-
listment, notwithstanding his ac-
cumulating years, and was accepted.
He now carries a disabled arm as
result of and proof of that service.
That the wound followed an inocula-
ton makes him none the less a cas-
France, one in an artillery and the
other in an infantry organization. S
L. Fulcher was in different engage
ments and participated in some of the
fierce fighting in the Argoone His
company was almost wiped out by the
Germans but he did not finch nor
quake in the hell fire and shell fire
through which he passed. 1t was
conduct and courage like his that

With this issue the temporary as

attachment for Clifton and for Arizona
An attachment that has been deep

The Best Cough Medicine

When a druggist finds that his Gus

preparation he forms a good opinion
of it and when in need of such a.
medicine is almost certain to use it

so many druggists use and recommend

Effect on All

Even the MAJ who is not paying a
cent of federal income taxes is d.
rectly affected by the tax, whether
he knows it or not. It bears a rela-
ton to the cost of living that is not at
all remote. 1t is true that large sums
are paid to the government in income
taxes by individuals and concerns, yet
the tendency is to take these taxes
into consideration in fixing prices in
such a way that the net income is
about what it would be in normal
times without the federal income tax
es. 1t is readily apparent that the eff
feet of all this has a tendency to bring
up costs on many of the products
needed by the people. The govern
ment can help the whole situation by
bringing methods Of economy and ef-
%fciency into its own operations, so
that the highly burdensome taxes at
present can be relieved.-Kewanee,

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Their Road Policy

The present county court, in our
opinion, has made an excellent re-
cord as regards roads. Their only
handicap has been the lack of funds.
All road matters put before the court
have received due consideration and
where it has been possible to make
improvements, Improvements have
been made.
While the broader plan of building
permanent roads has been foremost
in the minds Of the Judge and COM
m~issionerS, We know, from actions
they have taken and from express
sions which we have heard them
make, it is their desire to keep up
local roads in all parts of the county,
to the highest standard possible.
There is never a winter but what
the roads are reduced to an almost
impossible condition. 1t will take
time and money to put these roads
where they should be and built to
withstand weather conditions.
In tie meantime, when there is a
little local waShout in some particular
district, the court urges that the man
who first meets the condition, 60 to
work at once and remedy it, instead
Of taking two or three days to come
to town to inform the court Of that
particular waShout.
We believe that a successful plan
is being worked out BY the court in
conjunction with the Morrow County
Farm Bureau in regard to keeping
up the roads in the various districts.
1t follows somewhat along the line
of me road supervisor plan, only the
farmers pick the man in their respec-
tive districts rather than the court.
ANYWAY its getting down to brass
tacks on the road problem and is
bound to work to a good end.

Library Case Settled

BY decision Of the state supreme
court, P~endleton's famed library con-
troversy is a closed book. This long
contested action, having its origin
with the probating Of the will Of Sam
uel P. Sturgis in 1896, became a mat
ter of public concern with the filing
of the first action in 1916 by the IL
brary committee Of the Pendleton
Commercial Association. The decis-
ion rendered Yesterday is a final VIC
tory for the association.
The affirmed decision Of Judge
Gustav Anderson, of Baker, means
that not only shall proceeds from the
Sturgis trust fund be used each year
for the benefit Of the Commercial
Associations library but also that the
money which has accrued in the fund
through reinvestment shall be made
available. The fund was originally
$4,000, but because the total income
each year was not turned over to the
library but rather invested in part or
whole, the fund now totals between
$4,000 and $40, 000.-Pendleton
