MACHINERY MAKES MORE JOBS.
Mining Congress Journall

Even yet the claim is made that the
natural result of the invention and in
stallation. of labor saving machinery is
to take good jobs away from working
men. This claim is still put forward
in the face of the fact that jobs are
more plentiful and wages higher in
those countries which operate the most
modern machinery than in those back
ward regions which make no pretense
of being up to date
Those who still cling to such an
opinion will find food for thought in
the first report of the federal power
commission. Net applications for de-
velOpment of hydro electric power call
for 16.S26,OOO horse power of installa-

very conservative" estimate that each

one skilled workman Manifestly, for
every skilled workman so engaged
there must be several other workmen.

Of forming a bloc, as commonly un-
derstood, for any purpose may well be
doubted; but when it is organized by
republicans alone for the protection Of
one class, when protection of all class
es is one of the fundamental principles
of their party. one may very reasona-
bly, ask why it is deemed necessary.
While of course it does not follow that
they would not give their support to
protection for other interests the fact
that they have combined in behalf of
the farmer and stockgrower indicates
that they might be disposed to let the
other fellow take his chances in the
final give and take adjustment of the
tariff schedules.

looked upon the difficulties involved,
but have admitted the logic and the
justice Of the proposition" The old
stock argument was used that north
and south Idaho have no interests in
common. While it is true north and
south Idaho are so geographically sit
uated that they are to some extent
separated. it can hardly be said that
they do not have interests in common.
In fact they have many such interests
and will have more if those champions
OF the division plan will permit the
state to settle down and build as a unit
instead of by sections. Idaho is a big
state in territory, but small in popu-
lation. Its resources are unlimited.
Instead of talking state division those
who do so should devote the same en-
ergy toward cementing the state as
whole.

SHOSHONE REPUBLICANS AND

Lincolns birthday has long been a
great get-together day for the republic
cans Of Shoshone county, and it is as
sumed that the usual banquet will be
held this year, although no steps have
been taken in that direction beyond
informal discussion by republicans who
are looking forward to the occasion
II is especial desirable that Lincolns
birthday should be observed this year
and that the banquet should be made

will soon be upon us While this is an
off year, the election is of the highest
importance from both national and
state standpoint Two congressman
will be elected this fall from Idaho. It
is almost unthlnkable that the people

BUSINESS PATRIOTISM.

(Skillings Mining Review, Duluth)
If the people of the United States
would occasionally speak a word of
appreciation, offer a little applause as
it were, for the men who are exerting
themselves to get the wheels of indus
try turning, we believe that it would
help.
The idea seems to be almost univer-
sal that nobody does anything, puts
forth any effort. except that he is actu-
ated by selfish motives. That is far
from true. There are in this country
thousands of capable and influential
men who, while carefully safeguarding
their own interests, are working for
general results, and who will rejoice
in their accomplishment. The world
is not half as selfish as many cynics
who talk a great deal would have us
believe.
These men who are working to pro-
mote better business and a new pros
perity are of the finest patriotic quail
ity They usually are very industrious
men themselves. Many of them got
their start by hard work and overcom-
ing obstacles. The present depression /
does not dampen their courage or
warp their judgment These are men |
who meet a crisis with calm assurance |
that it can be avoided by skillful and [
handling. They never tell /
You that the country is going TO the (
dogs when hard times threaten and |
they never tell you that hard times
never will come again when prosperity
is in the saddle
They are unafraid. alert men of bus
mess preparedness and patriotism.
Nearly every community has some of
these men. but no community has too

CAN'T SELL 81 WATCH FOR $3.50.
New York SUM

]
1t appears that the Ingersoll watch
is one of the innocent victims of the
war The company that makes it has
appeared in court, admitted insolvency
and sought a reorganization. 1t has
suffered a fate conspicuous in it's mis-
fortune, but not by any means solitary.
The business welded itself to the dol
lar price, and then the dollar deserted
it.
Only too well did the advertising de-
partment of these watchmakers do its
work All over the land did IL emblaZ

gersoll and the dollar 1t was the dis
tinctive point about the watch. When
the war sent up the cost of watches
Cor sent down the value of the dollar,
whichever way you want to put iD,
the company set the price at $3.50. But
the purchasers baked. A dollar watch
at $3.50 was not a dollar watch. Sales
dropped, temporarily. no doubt, but
heavily.
Presumably the Ingersool will soon
sell for dollar again, signifying the
end of the period of initiation. But
as the standard price has
been in the past, manufacturers in the
future may hesitate to nail their price

SOUTH AGAINST DIVISION.



The continued agitation to divide the
state of Idaho on the part of dreamers
who aspire to erect to their memory an
enduring monument by creating the
new state of Lincoln, is serving no
good purpose. But every session of
the legislature they are active and
hardly year passes following the ad-
journment of that body before they
appear upon the scene with the same
old cry. The last legislature gave
those in northern Idaho who want to
divorce the southern part of the state
an opportunity to show their strength.
II passed a resolution permitting their
representatives to negotiate the Gre
alton of a new state out of part of the
panhandle. and if they could get the
consent of the Washington legislature.
part of that state also But they failed
to get the consent of the Washington
solons and so far have been blocked in
their efforts to carry on their cam
paign.

plans. Another legislature will con-

1928 and will automatically revoke the
action of the previous legislature in
creating a commission to investigate
the new state plan. The 1921 legisla-
ture was lenient. 1t took the stand

northern Idaho to separate itself from

GERMAN MADE TOYS IN AMERI
CAN MARKETS.

1t is declared that 80 per cent of toys
in retail American stores are made in
Germany and it is predicted that with
in year the proportion will reach 40
Der cent Merchants claim that the
figures do not represent competition
with the American industry inasmuch
as most of the German toys are of a
sort not manufactured in the United
States Il may be true that the Ger
man is of a different kind. but the
competition exists just the same. Par
ents who buy German toys fors their
children are not likely to buy Ameri-
can toys also. 1t is folly to imagine
that the retail toy trade is increased
in proportion to the amount of foreign
importations The fact is that the do
nestle industry is injured almost in
proportion that the foreign product
enters our markets. 1t brings home to
rs once more the need for a tariff that
will equal the difference in the cost of
production at home and abroad

ACTION OF STATE MINE INSPEc
TOR APPROVED.

In another column of this issue of
the Miner is a report of the proceed
ings of a meeting of the Boise chapter
OF the Idaho Mining association, called
for the purpose of adopting resolutions
of censure directed at Stewart Camp
bell, state mine inspector. The trouble
with Mr. Campbell seems to have been
that he gave an honest answer to an
inquiry regarding the property of the
Monetary Metals company. which is
being extensively advertised in the
east in stock selling campaign The
property is situated in the Boise Basin
section and there appears to be no
doubt that it possesses much merit
In fact Mr.. Campbelrs reply indicated
as much. but his statement did not
agree with those contained in the flam-
boyant literature prepared for con-
sumption in the east He said it was
a speculative proposition. while the
literature indicated that a purchase of !
Monetary Metals stock was equivalent
to buying government bonds so far as /
safety of investment was concerned |
and with certainty of far greater prof
its. One Of the circulars CHANGED to
