MINING AND POTATOES

Mining in the West is q good deal
like potatoes with the average meal
its benefits go unnoticed until we
have to do without them.
If the western potato crop had
been entirely wiped out for year
due to various causes every citizen
would be interested in seeing mea-
gures adopted which would produce
q crop for the next season.
While we cannot eat the ore that
is mined the work of producing this
Gre furnishes employment and the
money wherewith to buy potatoes
As the western mining industry
has been practically closed during
1920 due to adverse market condi-
tions, the source of employment
from which thousands of peopfe
formerly drew revenue to buy pota-
toes has been wiped out.
As result every westernie
should take a deep interest in every
measure which will encourage the
mining industry.
Western representatives in con-
gress are favoring protective tariff
measures on various metals which
must meet unlimited foreign com
petition.
Copper, lead, silver and gold min
ing are the backbone of the west
ern metal industry and must be en-
couraged and protected to the full
est extent.
