bonus bill, to the committee after 1t
had passed the senate, practically
kills the b.1 for the present session
unless its friends are strong enough
to have it again brought up. The
government, 1t seems, can spend hun
dreds of millions of dollars for most
any old measure except the bonus
BILL Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and Great Britain all paid subsidies
after the war and yet they were
heavy borrowers from this country,
the interest on which they are very
reluctant to part with. Doubtless
this country Is In a bad way finan-
cially, as expenses exceed income, and
yet we have one-third of the worlds
gold locked up In our treasures. This
country is not too poor to pay a
bonus to the men who risked their
all for the country. but 1t may be as
the president suggests, that it cannot
be done at the present time. How
ever, some arrangements should be
made without further delay to assure
the service men that this great repub-
lie is not ungrateful. Perhaps when
we have collected the interest on our
loans to the allies the government
can use this money in paying bonus
to all service men.-Ely Record.

EMPLOYEES
STOCKHOLDERS

The Union Pacific has made a
marked success of its undertaking to
make employees stockholders. In
every department the workers have
responded, thousands have bought
stock, and are TO that extent taking
pot luck with managers.
The Union Pacific has tremendous
property and traffic resources and its
stock at the lowest ebb of the market
pays its $40 a share dividend Is it
not the highest wisdom to enable EN-
ployes to acquire stock on an easy
partial payment plan? Can a rail-
road be Quilted and overthrown by
high finance as the Rio Grande was
where every worker on tracks.
train or in office is a stakeholder?
Does it not stand to reason that
broadening its ownership to hundreds
of thousands of employees strengthens
credit?
If every American railroad would
interest its operators in stock own
ership, the financial troubles OF rail-
roads would be ended.

REDUCING NINE
ASSESSMENTS

Under depressed world markets
many mining properties are almost
worthless and assessments are being
reduced. For instance, copper mines
that in the past produced millions of
dollars worth of metal are producing
nothing.
An illustration comes from a hear
ing before a California tax hearing
on mining property held at Redding.
The Mountain Copper Company's Zion
mountain mine, that has produced
$27, 100000 in copper and gold, is
worth nothing today. according to the
testimony given by William F. Kett,
general manager of the company, in
asking that the assessment be reduced
from $439.O00 to $4,000.
II would not accept the mine as
gift" said Kett, land undertake to
work it." There are 268,O00 tons of
ore in sight, but under present con-
ditions it would cost 81 cents a pound
to recover the copper, and the metal
is not worth 81 cents.

SENTIMENT ON
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

A newspaper survey conducted by
the Press Service Company of New
York shows that the American pub
lie becomes more and more opposed
to government and municipal owner
ship and operation of public utilities.
Out of 5,154 questionnaires sent to
the editors of the country, 1866, OF
SO per cent, gave 1t as their judgment
that the people of their communities
were overwhelmingly against city,
state or national government compet-
ing in business with citizens The
1919 survey showed SO per cent OF
the editors to be of that opinion, in
dicating that in the past year an ad-
ditional per cent have swung fur
Their away from the desire to partici-
pate in socialistic experiments.

Editor, The Silver State: 1t has
been extremely gratifying to me, as
it no doubt has been to all who are
familiar with the forest fire problem
in our Intermountain forests. to note
the great interest which is apparent
this year in the observance of Forest
Protection Week. Good results at
tended the setting aside and observ-
ance of this Week" this year, and
there is every indication that even
better results will follow the work
this season.
I recognize that in great measure
the success which attends these edu-
eational efforts is due to the hearty
cooperation Of the press of the re-
gion. | am therefore taking this OPP
portunity to express, on behalf OF
the Forest Service, our deep appre-
citation of the freedom with which
you have opened your editorial and
news columns to material designed
to enlise public interest and support
toward the elimination of "man-made"
fires from the forests. The need for
such awakened public interest is vi
tai. During the past ten years over
sixty per cent of the 1900 forest fires
which have ravaged the forests in
this district has been caused by hui
man agencies might say human
carelessness-in one form or another
The continuance of this thoughtless
destruction of our forests can spell
nothing but disaster. AS Secretary

A MAN-SIZE
PROPOSITION

Roy HAYNES, who has for many
years peen editing a weekly paper at
Hillsboro, O., has been named U. S.
liquor commissioner. and will have
charge of enforcing the new dry laws.
In starting out he says that his work
would be much easier if so many peo-
pie didn't wink at the dry laws-if
SO many didn't refuse to take him
seriously. Coming from small
town Haynes has doubtless seen a
full measure of this, though he must
know that the tendency to break the
liquor laws is stronger in our larger
cities that 1t Is In the rural districts
or in towns like Winnemucca. He
can be assured Of pretty close coop
Grafton, we feel sure, from the peo-
pie of our smaller towns and out In
the agricultural districts. His main
troubles are going to be found in the
cities, where the foreign population
is large. But he Is what folks gen.
eraly term a country editor" And
that means that IL anyone can hold
down the very important job to
which he has been appointed, then
he can.

WHAT 1T
COSTS

According to figures just given out
it's going to cost each citizen Of the
United States the sum of $82 to keep
the government running next year.
That doesn't mean that every man
and woman in Winnemucca, for In
stance. will pay that sum, because
not all of them are taxpayers. But
1t means that those who do pay taxes
will have to make up an amount
equal to $82 for every man and woman
living in this country This is based
on budget of s6.500,000, 900. which
would mean a per capita of about
$50. But state and county taxes av-
erage up another s22, so it really
means tax of $50 on every citizen
to run his government one year. It's
a lot of money. There's no getting
away from that fact. But when we
stop to compare this nation with any
or all of the others we're forced tc
admit that $S2 year is pretty chear
for the privilege of living in the best
country on earth.

Let us not follow the footsteps OF
China, where today millions OF suffer-
ing, impoverished, starving people
are paying the penalty for the devas-
tation In earlier centuries of the
great mountain forests.
Another fire season will shortly be
upon u.s. Unless the public conscience
is aroused, the forest protective agen-
cies will again be compelled, in spite
of all that preventive organization
can do. to expend thousands of the
peoples dollars and divert much
needed labor from productive chan
nels to fight and control the fires
which will be carelessly started In the
mountains.
I make bold to appeal for the con-
tinued hearty cooperation of the
press of the Intermountain region In
combating the "man-made" fire men,
ace. With such support we can con-
fidently look forward to an early day
when public sentiment will solve the
man-made forest fire problem-a
problem which can never wholly be
solved by protective organization and
the expenditure of public money,
without such public support.
