four senators have been known to

10 western senators who would do
nearly anything to prevent a stain be-

DOLLAR SILVER TO LAST
YEARS THINKS PITTMAN
NEVADA SENATOR SPEAKS AT
UNIVERSITY CLUB IN
NEW YORK.

Radiant with optimism as to the
future of silver in this country, Sen
ator Key Pittman. of Nevada, ad-
dressed the members Of the Mining
and Metaiiurgicaf Society OF Ameri-
ca at the Columbia University clut
on Thursday. April %. c. w Handy
Of Handy & Hartman, also spoke on
silver marketing conditions and a
half hour OF general discussion fol-
lowed.
: Senator Pittman made it plain that
there is no likelihood of the Pittman
act being repealed However. he said
there is always a chance of hasty and
improper legislation, and for that
reason all who are interested in the
subject should be advised of every
fact and of every action so that they
can lend their support of the present
act if necessary Even if it were not
foT the conditions under which silver
was fixed at a dollar if it depended
not upon the honor of the govern
ment to maintain it, but upon the
general necessity of the government
upon the power that the production
.of silver gives the government, then
that alone would be sufficient to
maintain and justify the present
price"
Origin of Act
Going back to the origin of the act
the senator quoted Lord Reading as
stating that the action of the United
states government in furnishing sill
yer for India in April, 1918, was one
OF the most powerful acts that could
have been performed toward the win
ming of the war. 1t was essential to
have silver in India and have it i'm
mediately, and there was not the re-
quiste supply anywhere in the
world except in the treasury OF the
United States India had been ex-
porting large quantities of jute bag
ging. a necessity in the conduct of
the war. The Indians had been
taught to accept silver certificates
for their product. However, the re-
serve of metal behind those certifi-

ture shall not approve any project
in any state until said state shall
provide a state fund adequate for the
maintenance of federal aid roads, and
by law shall place such maintenance
work under the direct control Of the
state highway department" Upon
failure to maintain a road, the secre-
tary will refuse to approve projects
for road construction in that state
and after so days if maintenance is
lstill refused, the secretary will pro-
coed to place the road in proper con
'dition and charge the costs against
the federal fund allowed the state.
When this charge is refunded by the
state it viii go into the treasury of
the United states and be forever lost
to the state.
Public Land States.
Like many other western states,
Idaho has vast areas of land held by
the government in forest reserves
which pay no taxes and yet require
the benefit of roads. To meet this
situation it is suggested that the
pay a just ratio of the
cost of a highway in the proportion
that the government controlled land
is to the total land in the state.
The Main Point
II has been suggested that the bu-
reau of highways be changed to
department; also that the road work
should be handled by a commission
operating directly under the supervi-
sion OF the president, while third
suggestion is that it be transferred
