Harding Favors an Ample Protective
Tariff on Zinc--Letter to Joplin
Business Men

President elect Warren G. Harding
has expressed himself forcibly on the
question Of a protective tariff for the
zinc industry In a telegram to Paul
Ewert. chairman Of the zinc ore tariff
commission of the Joplin, Mo. cham
Der of commerce, Senator Harding
said:
81 am more or less familiar with the
conditions in the Joplin mining dis
trict and find your statement properly
suggestive of what is now going on in
many other parts of the country.
you inform me that up to 1916
southwestern Missouri was the largest
zinc mining district in the world; that
the demands of the European war
made the district temporarily very
prosperous, but that the democrats
had removed the tariff on zinc ore of
which great quantities were imported
in 1916 and 1917; that during the last
session of congress efforts were made
to have a really protective duty on
zinc ore restored, but that it failed
and you add:
Zinc ore in 1916 and 1917 was i'm
ported from 1856 different countVies. It
was sent directly to our shelters and
delivered for half of what it cost MS to
produce it. Our mines began to close
down in 1917 and last week every min
ing district closed throwing out of
employment $4,000 men. OF course,
the demand for zinc ore is low now
but the cause of this was the immense
importation of zinc ore which was
made into spelter and which produced
such tremendous surplus that our
own ores remained unsold in the bin
1.-THE case of Joplin district zinc is
a typical one The democrats remov-
cd the protection from zinc that pro-
cedure being one of the fundamentals
of their political creed. Zinc was
merely one of a great number of our
American products that suffered pre-
cisely the same fate when the demo-
cratic tariff policy was applied
Under the democratic tariff law Of .
1913, the country was already APP
preaching Industrial disaster when the
world war began What happened in
the case of zinc also happened to
many other industries The foreign
demand was so great and prices were
so unimportant that everything we
could produce was promptly taken by
the warning nations SO the disaster
was postponed. But with the end Of
The war the foreign demand not only
FOR zinc. but for a great number of
other products whose production had
'een removed, Immediately fell off

simply an epitome of the story of Am
'rican industries generally. With de- J

A bulletin issued from the Washing
ton headquarters of the American Mi
ming Congress notes the seating of
Senator Gooding on January is, and
then gives this bit of misinformation
regarding the new senator: HE has
been for many years a contractor for
mining companies" So far as is
known at this time, Senator Gooding
has never been identified with mining
since the early SOS, when he was in
the Wood river district for a short
time. His business career has been
confined chiefly to raising sheep. al
though he is understood to be inter-
ested in banking and mercantile in
stitutions also. Although not closely
identified with the industry, the min
ing interests will have a firm friend
in Senator Gooding.

LEGISLATORS DUTY is PLAIN.
Lewiston Banner)

Lewiston Banner)
Idaho legislators must not lose sight
OF the fact that after all they are only
servants of the people. No class, nc
industry no particular section of the
state is supposed to be favored by
legislation. The square deal for all is
what the people expect.
The Idaho legislature has heavy re-
sponsibilities on its hands. but never
before has its direct responsibilities to
the public been greater.
Taxation must be reduced. The
people want no new burdens, but they
do want some Of the old burdens re-
moved. If the legislature now in ses-
sion at Boise is fair and honest with
the people~of this state. the session
will be a short one-a business session
which will establish a record for do
ng something beneficial to the tax
payers of the entire state.

mining industry in Idaho and its di-
rect value to the state, it is quite inn
possible to understand why the leg
islature has invariably been so par
simonious in providing for the office
Of the inspector of mines. Mining in
Idaho ranks next to agriculture in it's
importance TO the state, but it has
never received consideration on that
basis at the hands of the legislature.
OF course this is an unfavorable
time to ask the Legislature for larger
appropriations, for the solons fully
understand that the people expect a
cut in appropriations wherever posi-
BILE. AT the same time the people do
not expect members Of the legislature
to become stampeded by this econo-
my talk to an extent that will ham
per the state in the exercise of its
functions. Although the
mining industry has expanded and
requires more attention
from the state, the allowance for in
5pector has not changed materially in
The last twenty years. Good business
demands that provision be made that
viii enable the work of the inspectors
'hice to at least keep pace with the
growth Of the mining industry. Pro-
ision should be made for an assist
mt which would permit more thor
ugh work in the field and at the
anne time provide for handling the
BUSINESS Of the office during the alb
ence of the inspector.

President-elect Harding has again
demonstrated his plain, practical,
common sense by calling off the elab-
crate preparations for the inaugural
ceremonies. 1t is time that those in
government authority take the lead in
the practice OF thrift, that fine quality
which the war was expected to de-
velop in the American character. Two
years have now passed since the ter
mination of the great conflict, and it
must be admitted that to the ordin-
airy observer the seeds of thrift seem
to have fallen in barren soil. But we
are glad to see our new president give
this practical demonstration of his
belief in thrift and his willingness to
practice it in the performance of his
first official act. With this shining
example, possibly congress. state leg
islatures, city councils and even indi-
viduals may eventually get the habit

petition desperately seeking our I'M
protected markets, we have suddenly.
found ourselves at the beginning OF an
era in which, unless the American
policy of protection is resumed. We
are bound to become more and more
the dumping gro nd for the products
of all the world Produced by cheaper
labor, they must inevitably drive our
own products out of our own markets
compel the suspension of production
at home and bring idleness and suf-
fering, not merely to the thousands of
workers in particular industry. but
to the millions of workers in hundreds
of industries.
Along with this disaster to the mi
ming and industrial interests has come
a similar disaster to American agrf-
culture. The recent slump in the
prices of agricultural products has
brought a great hardship to American
a agriculture. Vast crops were raised
under conditions which made them
extremely costly, and now that the
farmers have them in hand they find
that prices have fallen so suddenly
and rapidly that enormous losses must
be sustained.
'To all who are bringing this story
of continuing losses and impending
disaster the republican party makes
the same reply. 1t is our reply to the
producers of zinc and of wool and of
every other article that depends upon
the insurance that at least the Ameri-
can market shall be secured to Ameri
can industry. We reply that when
the republican party is restored to the
control of the government after March
4 next there will be a prompt return
to the American system of protection
for American industry. The policy
has been to equalize the cost of pro
duction at home and abroad
LAS to zinc, it is my recollection
that the republican members of the
senate sub committee on finance. Sen
ators Watson and Curtis, voted to re
port favorably the tariff bill desired
by the American zinc producers pro-
viding for a tariff of two cents per
pound on the metallic contents of i'm
ported zinc ores, but the democratic
voted against it. When I
am president if such a measure is
again urged and if it is found to COM
ply with the republican formula of
IMPOSING sufficient tariff to measure
he difference between cost of produc-
ion at home and abroad, shall Ger
ainly give my support to it.
Broadly speaking this is the re-
publican tariff policy as it has been in
he past and when the republican
'arty returns to power it will be re-
nstated as early as possible"

1t is now proposed to form a ma
tional commission for the regulation
Of boxing contests, similar to the COM
mission that has taken over the SUI
preme authority in baseball. The pur-
pose is to standardize ring rules, reg
ulate championship contests, the con-
duct Of professional boxers etc. One
of the proposed rules would compel
every champion to defend his title at
least once in six months. This is de-
signed to prevent them from signing
up for exhibition engagements that
yield large revenue instead of meeting
contestants for ring honors Jess
Willard worked this game for five
years. The commission would also
exercise control over fight promoters,

A MISTAKEN ATTITUDE TOWARD
CRIMINALS.

During the past week the details of
the most gigantic robbery that is now
recalled in the history of the north
west We're given to the public by the
confession of one of the two men who
conceived and carried it out. The
other man had the decency to kill
himself and thereby denied himself
the pleasure Of hearing the encom-
iums upon his blameless life, such as
have made his accomplice feel more
like hero than one guilty of a helm
Gus crime.
The forgiving spirit is Of course
admirable but it is equally admirable
and even more necessary to insist up
on the punishment of crime, even
though the victim may personally feel
deep sympathy for the criminal and
even exonerate him so far as Grim
inal purpose is concerned For the
man who has been systematically rob-
bed to reiterate his confidence in the
men who robbed him, express his be-
lief that they had no criminal inten-
tion- and that so far as he is concern
ed the one who is still alive, because
he lacked the nerve to carry out his
suicide agreement has suffered
enough and that he has no desire to
prosecute him. is to overlook his duty
TO society. The repeated publication
of kindly expressions by the victim /
of the bond forgeries toward the per-
pctrators has already had marked /
effect upon public sentiment and .
predictions are being made that the
torger now in Jail will escape punish
ment. 1t is this class of criminals
ahich should receive the most severe
because their attractive
serve as the chief aid to
heir criminal designs and make them
more dangerous to society than the
ordinary crook.

GOMPERS ATTACKS SUPREME
COURT DECISION.

The declaration by Mr.. Gompers
that the United States supreme court
has Joined forces with the anti-union
shop movement" is another misstate-
ment that is likely to injure the legit-
innate purposes of union labor Mr..
Gompers seems incapable of distin-
gushing between his own ideas and
the principles on which labor union
ism is founded He assumes that
whatever he wants is what union la
bor wants and must have in order to
succeed. As a matter of fact, union
labor will be better off when it form
ally rejects many of the teachings of
Mr.. Gompers.
The supreme court did not declare
against the union shop or against any
legitimate activities of union labor.
All it did was declare that the Clay
ton act does not legaIize illegal acts
injurious to the rights of others. So
far as the decision of the court is con-
cerned, union laborers are at full lib |
erty now as in the past to maintain
heir union membership. to negotiate

Acting under the provisions of the
Pittman law, the director of the mint
purchased 29,S1ZS61 ounces of silver
during the year 1920 This is about
half the normal production of silver
in this country. If the present dis
parity between the price of domestic
silver and the foreign product con-
tinues the entire production of this
country win continue to be sold to the
government Most of the silver is a
by-product of copper and lead, and as
there has been a great curtailment of
production of these metals. it is prob
able that the production of silver will
again be far below normal this year.
The actual amount to be purchased
under the Pittman act is POI. 600. 600
ounces and it is probable that it will
