 expenditure of s1,000 has been authorized by Congress for the pur- chase and bestowal of trophies to be conferred by the Bureaus Of Mines of the Interior Department upon miners who have performed noteworthy feats in rescue work in time of mine accidents and disasters.

According to present plans the medals or other trophies will be presented to winners at the international mine rescue and first aid contests which are participated in annually by miners from the United States, Canada and Mexico.

BOTH ARE WRONG.

Arthur Brisbane disagrees with Upton Sinclair who thinks nearly all the daily newspapers of the United States support the socalled Big Interests and paid for doing. Mr. Brisbane thinks most of the daily newspapers do support the Big In- teress and the rich but through spirit of snobbsh sycophancy He admits that most newspapers honest.
 Of course neither of them correct except as to Mir. Brisbanes declaration that most newspapers honest In the first place most of the newspapers do net support the Big Interests" allno least as Big Interests. Most of the newspapers of the country support what those who make them honestly believe to be for the good of the country.
 It may be conceded that most newspapers take into account their welfare in determining policies just do bankers merchants those in the industries and the workingmen. But newspapermen understand that the welfare of daily newspaper and that of the general public depend identically the same things A newspaper cannot prosper for long unless there is general prosperity in its field.
 There is business that is completely at the mercy Of the public none where the public wei fare is more thoroughly the foundation of financial success. than is the with ewspaper-making The Fig Interests contribute very little the papers patronage to advertisers. Newspapers and advertisers prosper when laborers working full time at wages which give them something to expend in addition. what is necessary for bare living cost Therefore hard times hurt newspaper incomes.

GERMANY AND FOREIGN COMMERCE.

Those people who fear that German manufactures will dominate the commerce of the world forget ting that imitation has reached point in Germany where defation of the radical sort must follow, and that defation is always accompanied by slow ing down of industries and production And, if we are to accept the axiom that reaction always equals action the reaction in Germany will be something terrific when it sets in because the imitation there has been of character unheard of except in Russia and Austria.
 When the German marks are succeeded by new currency and be before long, there will De tremendous losses in that country Already, the ds- patches tell us. German merchants are refusing to take marks in payment for goods They are asking for gold or foreign exchange.
 German competition will not be dangerous TOT d long time.

.eness Opposes
 Hiring Lawyers
 ToPress Claims

A popular practice of the past, that of engaging lawyers to petition the re- batemert of interest or taxes, may soon be discarded. The practice is de- cidedly unpopular with the alder manic claims committee, particularly with Chairman Alfred B. Veness In the opinion of the committeeman, a petitioner who can afford to pay a lawyers fee can well afford to pay the city for taxes.
 T certainly do not favor the hiring of lawyers to press claims for re- batetnle1lt,'' MT. Veness said today. Anyone who can pay a lawyer S10 or S20 to rebate $50 in taxes, might just as well contribute that S10 or S2O to the tax treasury.
 Petitioners before the claims com 1ntttee do not need the services of a lawyer. We are there as 1ay-men, and we treat everyone fairly and cour- teously. Our decisions are based upon common sense principles, and we do not need a lawyer to help us make a decision.
 Personally, am prejudtced when ever see lawyer on hand to argue a rebatement. l am opposed to giving the city's money away to a lawyer, and l tell practically every person foolish enough to come with a lawyer that if he or she can pay a lawyer, they can pay the city,

Card System To
 Aid Work Of Claim Committee

A card system of records has been installed to augment the work of the a1dermanic claims committee. Eery claim that has been conceded by the committee will be recorded on g. card, together with such data as may be of aid to the committee n coming years. Due to the constant yearly recurrence of the same claims. the card index will prove of the greatest assistance.
 The Claims Committee, one of he most important organizations of the city government. has been without the guidance of any precedent There has been no code of ethics. and no rules or regulation to assist them in their work. When claims for rebate ment of taxes or interest are made. there is no record of any kind to prove dfsqualify the claim, ex- cept the word of the petitioner.
 Year after year the same petitions are made for the same reasons. Many times the allegation Is made that the preceding committee granted the claim for the same reason advanced. By the new system, such a petition can be inestfgated, and the full his tory of the case secured in a few minutes.

Aldermen To
 Attend School

A school for aldermanic Instruction has been organized by the Democra tic members of the Common Council. The primary purposes are the infor- nal exchange of views on city prob lems and discussions of committee work to prepare and perfect the al- derInen for an intelligent admins traH ton of their duties.
 President Alfred E. TVeness is one Of the prime movers in the enterprise and today explained the conferences.
 Ever since we were elected, we have been gathering informally every once and awhile. A good many of us are green to the work, and we try to get fully acquainted with our duties We promised to give all the time nec- essary to our aldermanic work, and we believe that we canot not fulfin our promises by devoting no more time than we spend at Council meet ings.
 When we get together we ex- change views of matters before the and help each other as much as we can on our committee work Our whole idea Is to prepare our selves, and perfect ourse1es in order that we may capably and intelligently perform our duties.''
