Public Ownership of the Coal Mines?

The coal strike may force the pub
lie to try the experiment of public
ownership Of the mines, in the opinion
of Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman
Of the senate committee on labor, un.
less the whole coal industry is speed
lily recognized in the interest Of the
public.
Senator Borah declares that the
strike will force a reckoning not alone
between operators and the miners but
between the coal industry and the
public. The industry cannot continue
under it's present system Of operation
and management.
eff the coal industry is not reor-
ganized in the interest Of the public"
Senator Borah said, "then it will be
up to the public to try the experiment
of public ownership. I do not under
estimate the task which the public will
assume when it undertakes this. but
I doubt very much If the public will
much longer submit to the present

SHOULD REDIsTRIcT THE CITY

The supreme court has declared that the ordinance
passed by the Board of Aldermen just before the close of the
old year providing for a redistricting of the city so as to
make the wards conform better to the population, is perfect
w good and will stand. 1t remains now for the mayor and
aldermen to get together and carry out the provisions of the
ordinance.
1t is said that the Republicans tried to railroad the or
dinance through before the end of the year so as to get the
redistricting done by a strictly Republican committee to the
advantage of the Republican party. 1t is the belief OF some
that, having failed to do this, the matter of redistricting the
city will be left in allegiance. This ought not to be.
The city should not be redistricted for partisan pur-
poses. When this work is done it should be for the benefit
of all. But the temptation to favor the party in power is
ALWAYS great under such circumstances. The opportunity is
now afforded, however, to show that the ordinance was
passed in good faith and that no partisan advantage is to be
taken. With a Republican mayor and a Democratic Board of
Aldermen it ought to be possible to sink party differences
and get together for the sole purpose of serving the best
interests of the city. From the city's point of view, perhaps,
it is better that the redistricting should have waited until
the new Board of Aldermen took Office.
That there should be a redistricting there is no doubt.
THE sixth ward is entirely too big and cumbersome. When
the wards were first laid out that which is now the sixth
ward was mainly woods and open country. Today the ward
is larger than a great many Incorporated towns.
The real solution to the city's problems, however, is to
be found in securing a new city charter that will bring the
municipal government up to date and then with a compre-
hensive city plan to guide the future developments of the
city, it would be possible to build up a great industrial and
shipping center that would give Perth Amboy the prestige
that the city, by its admirable location, is entitled to.

AN EXCELLENT BEGINNING

The newly organized Board of Aldermen started Oil
very allspiciously under Democratic control Tuesday night.
AIderman-at-Large Calvin took his seat as presiding officer
and conducted the business of the evening like a veteran.
His business like manner made a decidedly favorable I'M
preston and his remarks at the close of the meeting pore
every evidence of sincerity.
The aims and ambitions of the new council as outlined
briefly bv Alderman at Large Calvin, are most commend
able. There is no doubt that the city has been standing still
for some time. No one in particular is to be blamed for this
because the whole world has been standing still, so to
speak, recovering from the staggering blow caused by the
war. This community was particularly hard hit because of
which closed down at about the same time causing a turn
ever in labor and a general readjustment that naturally
would require years to recover from.
But there is every reason to believe that the tide has
turned. There are big things doing all around us. Prof.
ects are on foot that mean much for the future of Perth Am
boy. 1t is highly desirable that the city have men at the
helm who are big enough to grasp the situation and see that
Perth Amboy plays her full part in all that concerns her.
1t would be a fine thing if, for the time being, at least
politics could be forgotten and all work together for the ad-
yancement of Perth Amboy. Let the welfare OF the city as a
whole be considered above the interest of.any party or fac
ton. The men who now make up the Board of Aldermen
are the duly elected representatives Of the people. They are
entitled to the support of every citizen as long as they show
n disposition to serve the city honestly and faithfully. This
lhey have pledged themselves to do. 1t is a big and difficult
task that they have assumed. Nothing is to be accomplished
for the city by embarrassing them or unjustly crlticlzIng
them merely for partisan reasons.

SENATOR BROWNS APPOINTMENT

Another signal honor has come to Perth ,Amboy in the
amendment of Senator Thomas Brown as counsel for the
Public Utility Commission. Senator Brown has won much
distinction through his service to the state as a member of
the senate during the past three years. He was recognized
as one of the brainiest men in the legislature and it is not
surprising that he has been selected to fill the important
position to which he has just been named. .
At this particular time the counsel for the Public Utii-
ty Commission is confronted with one of the most difficult
tasks ever presented to an attorney. He has got to match
his wits against some of the best legal talent that money can
secure. The interest of millions of people throughout the
state is involved. These people look to the Public Utility
commission to protect their rights and the utility commits
sioners, in turn, depend upon their counsel. This is the role
that Senator Brown has been selected to fill. He is to be
congratulated,

system. For example, the people
are urged not to buy factory made
clothing but to return to the MAX
ing of their native fabrics by hand.
There can be but little doubt
that the industrial system, as ut
present constituted, is like war, a
source of race weakness to the dom
inant nations. 1t has improved
greatly in the past fifty years, and
1t may yet be made a sound basis
for civilized development, but at the
present moment, as anyone may see
cor himself it is in badly %disorgan-
lied state. In the first place. it had
produced a class consciousness
which results in an ever-growing
social unrest, with immense waste
of life and energy through strikes
it has become badly entangled in its
own mechanism, so that all of the
industrial nations are subject to pc
riodical spells of hard times" due
to the failure of the system TO work
properly. The whole occidental
world is thrown out of gear
by the failure of the industrial sys-
TEN to function.
Thus the oppressed peoples, being
largely free from organized war
and organized industry, have advan-
tage in conservation of their racial
vitality, which are already tell
ing and which will tell even more in
the future. 1t would seem that the
dominant nations had better learn
something from the oppressed ones
while the learning is still good. A
couple more world wars and the old
Biblical prophecy may come to have
2 new and vivid meaning: blessed
the the meek for they shall inherit

WINNEMUcCA SELECTED
FOR BANKERS CONVENTION

Winnemucca is to have the honor
of entertaining members of the Ne
vada Banking Association in 1928
when the state convention of that
organization is held, it was. voted
by delegates to the bankers con-
ventioA at Lake Tahoe last Satur-
day. Approximately seventy-five
Nevada bankers and their families
were in attendance at Lake Tahoe
this year, besides a number of men
representing banks in adjoining
states, and it is thought that be-
cause of the centralized location
of Winnemucca, permitting conven-
lent attendance from all portions
of the state, that an even greater
number may be here in 1923.
Winnemucca's new and magnificent
ly appointed hotel is the magnet
and other conventions will probably
be held here, for another reason
that Winnemucca has long been out
of consideration as convention
city following fires which destroyed
hotel accommodations. People here
have been quick to grasp the ad-
vantages accruing from conventions
and will be ready to royalty enter
tain visiting delegations upon COM
pletion of the new building.

for Attorney General, Both Re-

date for the Republican nomination
for United States senator, and
Harry II. Atkinson of Tonopah, who
is seeking the Republican nomina-
tion for attorney general of Nevada,
arrived in Winnemucca today
Chandler is travelling by automobile
and is en- route to his home in Ely
while Atkinson is travelling by train,
planning to make important stops
between here and Ely and returning
to Tonopah in time for election day
Atkinson is meeting with great
encouragement at all points, he
says, and has not a doubt concern
ing his certainty Of nomination. He
has been before the public eye for
long period, practicing before the
courts of this state since September,
1906, when he located in Tonopah.
In 1908 he was elected justice of
the peace, a position he filled with
great credit for two terms. In No
vember, 1916, he was elected dis
trict attorney of Nye county, serv-
ing two terms with great credit to
himself and his constituency.
Harry H. Atkinson is self-made
man. He was born in Salt Lake
City, May %, 1881, and went
through the grammar and high
schools of that city. He is a vet
eran of the Spanish-American war,
advancing to the rank of sergeant
with the first troop U. S. volunteer
cavalry. In 1899 he entered Stan
ford university and after four years
of diligent study was graduated with
the degree of ALB. in law. During
his period in college he worked dur
ing the vacations in the office OF
the United States surveyor general
in Salt Lake City. He was admitted
to the bar of California on April 6
1905, and one year later went to
Tonopah.
