ties be benefited by reduced cost
of metals and metal products.
The war taxes, with added cost
of material and labor, are easier TO
bear by silver miners than by pro-
ducers of other metals because the
white metal is bringing prices high
enough to cover while others, es-
pecially lead, zinc and copper,
which New Mexico has in album
dance in low grade, have not kept
pace.
Mine labor has advanced over
one-third; powder, fuse, caps, steel
and other mine and mill supplies
from so to nearly 200 per cent.
Profits must increase in proper
ton to induce men TO take the big
risks involved in mining. Produc-
ton nessarily is gagged greatly by
the price of the metal. If it is high
enough to permit profitable mining
and milling of low grade ores, then
low grade ores will he mined and
milled. AS the low grade ores form
the bulk of deposits, it naturally
follows that the price is a great
factor. If a mine contains 100000
tons Of ore, and the price is too low
to make ore show a profit, it will
not be mined.

ANTI-SEDlTION LAW
ESSENTIAL.

The anti-seditiOn bill passed by
the senate would impair no re-
spectacle rights. 1t aims straight
at the criminal enemies of organ
lied society, and at them alone.
Well-intentioned persons need have
no fear of injustice under its oper-
atoms. Censorship of the press by
the postmaster general, or any 9TH
er official, is q possibility offensive
to Americans, but evidence abounds
that insidious propaganda will be
circulated through the mails unless
methods Of prevention are adopted.
The Sterling bill provides for APP
peals to the court for determina-
ton of the justice of exclusion or
ders issued against publications.
With that safeguard for innocence
we may be sure that none will suf-
fer save those who deliberately
choose to run risks. For that kind
we need have no sympathy; they
often are worse than open enemies.
Disloyalists only will strive to find
a twilight zone" in which they can
pursue a nefarious course.
What is essential is that the
country be rid of all persons who
advocate overthrow of the govern
ment by force, and those who
preach resort to violence or other
unlawful means of accomplishing
any purpose. Devoted Americans
will not shrink from making what
ever sacrifices may be called for
to secure the nations safety. No
anti -sedition bill that has been pro-
posed, so far as we have knowl-
edge, would limit any political right
or personal liberty guaranteed by
the constitution Every one of
them has been designed to check
and punish criminal enterprises
whose object is the destruction of
American liberties. We must have
anti-sedition law and it must be
enforced fearlessly for the peoples
protection.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OF
RECLAMATION.


In connection with the efforts
now being rladc by Governor Lar
razolo and others in Washington,
to secure funds for federal irriga-
ton projects, Arthur P. Davis, di-
rector of the United States recla-
nation service, says that the total
sum expended by the government
upt to June 80 last, as cost of con-
struction projects, was Sl7l,99S,-
900, and it will be necessary to
expend, to make certain work
ready for construction charges TO
be collected, the additional sum of
$49,459.OOO The expenditures are
charges upon the lands reclaimed,
and owners repay the cost before
delivery in fee simple Of the plants
to the land holders. No similar
amount expended by the govern
ment for any purpose ever brought
such adequate and important re-
turns.
Director Davis reports since the
first government ditch began turn
ing its waters upon the land in
1906 the crops produced on the
reclaimed lands have had a total
value of more than $250,000,000.
The present annual crop returns
are now more than $70,000,000, not
including the value of crops grown
on the million acres outside of
projects which are supplied with
water. Mr.. Davis says:
"The increase in land values has
been enormous. In 1902, the be-
ginning of government irrigation,
the average value of the desert
lands in the projects did not eX-
ceed $40 per acre. The total value,
of the 1,7S0.00 acres in
projects did not exceed
$17,S00, 1000.
Government irrigation has in
creased the value of the project
lands 5000 per acre, or q. total of
$356, 100000. 1t has increased the
value of the 100000 acres in 9TH
er projects by 500 per acre, or
500, 100000. The increase in the
value of land in the cities, towns
and villages within projects is east
ly 500, 100000, or a total increase
in land values Of 1856, 100000, due
to this work.
an connection with the above
no consideration has been
given to 1880 acres of land in
cluded in government projects
which will be irrigated when the
works are completed,
the present market price of which
has increased at least $50 per acre
by reason of this fact.
THE increase in the price re-
ceived for state lands included in
the projects and now mostly dis
posed of was at least 100000 of
direct revenue derived by the
states"

The Nations Business for February
1t is not given to us to know Just
what happened to the teeth OF
Michael MaCGarvey. 1t may be
that he sneezed them forth and a
truck ran over them or perhaps
they were broken in an attempt to

that as it may, Michael was work

THE WOOL SITUATION.

We have heard much of reduc-
ton OF prices, only to find prices
going higher. Every item, or near
" so, that goes on your dinner
table today costs more than it did
q week ago.
Some Of this may be due to prof
iteering somewhere, but most of it
is due to demand in Europe for
everything this country produces.
The current issue Of Financial
America" tells the story regarding
the cost Of wooden clothing. 1t
tells us that increase of cloth man.
ufactlWc has outstripped the sup
plies of wool. THE mills" the ar
ticle says, have been very busy
selling the finished product in
large quantities and at high prices.
Excessive shipments have been
made to Europe by profiteers,
stripping America of cloth needed,
at home"
BY way Of illustration the writer
in Financial America" says there
are now SIS overcoats that used to
sell at $25, and suits of clothes
selling now for from $50 to 500
that formerly sold for from $40 to
$35. Marine wool, the writer tells
us, from which such suits are made
has been selling at Sass a pound!
We thought the price of wool
high last year, but it will be higher
this year, with almost certainty
of raw wool going at from sixty
cents to eighty cents a pound.
This country imported quite an
amount of fine wool and resold it
in Europe at higher prices than
could be commanded here, two
hundred and fifty thousand pounds
going abroad in the month of Sep
TENDER alone.
Formerly, the United States
bought from ten per cent to as
much as thirty per cent of her fine
wool from abroad, the great per-
centage of it coming from Austria
liza direct. Now the British gov
eminent has secured the whole out
put of Australia for her own man
ufacturers Not a pound of it can
come to the United States. But the
British manufacturers cannot use
it now, because it is taking time to
get their mills back to a working
basis. They were employed for
four years in the manufacture Of
war materials. They find getting
labor most difficult, even when the
factories are in shape, and the sup
ply of coal has been interfered with
greatly. So the Australian wool is
unused and the peoples of Europe
are calling for our wooden goods,
as well as for our wool.
