Under the operation of the slidine

/ IN February. 1916. the wages of all
ennlovees advanced durine the war
until the maximum of s5.75 per dav
was reached.
This rate of pay amounted to a
bonus of 1925 per dav. while as a
matter of fact the sliding scale pro-
Vided for MAXIMUM bonus of only 81
per dav. The mining compa nies. how
ever. increased the bonus voluntarily
rs the price Of lead continued to adj
vance. and although the price of lead
has long since dropned below the level
that caused the increase. the high
wage scale has haan maintained on
account Of the cantinned high cost of
li' ing. The nrice of lead has now
dropped to.a figure that wines out all
bonus according to the sliding scale.
and ut the same time there has been
a substantial reduction in living costs.

BEHIND NATIONS CREDIT

The growth of the insurance in
dustry in this country has been re-
narkable; the amount of capital in
vested is enormous. But of greater
significance is the amount of business
written.
Insurance has become an essential
element in the social and economic
life of the NATHAN. AS business grows
and industry develops in various di-
rections, new risks are continually
arising which must be cared for bS,
insurance.
The fairness of fire insurance COM
panies is one Of the business mems
biggest assets. Life and casualty
companies occupy the role of a good
samaritan in time of need. The
American marine companies have not
had the encouragement they should, as
conditions favored foreign companies.
but this is being changed, and our
own companies are growing.
In the complexities of modern bust
ness undertakings and the vast
amounts Of capital required. insurance
IS the basis of all credit, and stands
back of every loan of consequence.
In the past, insurance, like utilieties.
railroads. and banks, has been the tar
get Of much political activity. In this
critical reimbursement period of our
nation, good Judgment would suggest
that our state law makers step light
ly In any plans that might be proposed
tending to interfere with the operation
OF any Industry. let alone as complex
a business as insurance. which involv-
es the credit structure of the couptr,,

depends upon the enactment of this
measure. Unless something is done
now to relieve the situation the gold
mining industry of the Nation is doom
ed.
| The McFadden bill is very simple
bill. AT present 1t is costing the gold
miner $50 nm ounce to produce his pro
duct. while it is sold by the United
res Mint for $20.67 an ounce. this
fixed price being the basis of the gold
standard, or the worlds measure OF
value. To restore proper relation
between selling price and cost of pro-
duction, the McFadden bill levies an
excise tax of $40 an ounce on the
manufactured article of gold, places
1t In fund, out OF which It paws the |
gold miner $40 an ounce for every
ounce OF precious metal produced. |
In other words. it restores the normal |
economic conditions that make II
feasible for the gold miner to work
and live just as mall other industries
where the Government has noe fixed
he price of the produce. but where
economic law is allowed to operate.
