the editor of WalIace's Farmer says
that economists say that the demand
for farm products is inelastic, where
as the demand for automobiles and for
most kinds of manufactured goods, is
elastic. This is another way of say
ing that mo matter how low in price
farm products may be people will only
eat certain amount of food, and on
the other hand no matter how high in
price they may go, they still must eat. .
1t is because the demand for food
is lnelastic that there is strong tend
ency for large crops to sell fer less
than small crops. This is not mat
ter of theory, but has been verified by
the most careful statistical study. It
is especially true Of such crops as
potatoes, crop in which there is very
little International trading. We find
/ this year, for instance, that a potato
crop which is only Is per cent larger
than the normal is selling so cheap
that in many localities the price did
not pay for the cost of digging"
The Only Remedy
1nasmuch as the secretary of agri-
/ culture is in close touch with his
farm paper the conclusions arrived at
by the writer of the article here quot
ed will carry some weight. In sum-
ming up, he says:
Controlled production in agricul-
ture is more important than in almost
any other kind of business. The OBJ
Ject on the one hand should be TO pre-
vent so far as humanely possible the
great shortages which result in famine
prices, and also the gluts which are
so ruinous to the producer without do
ing the consumer any good. In order
to secure the most economical pro-
auction, there must eventually be or
ganlzed control of acreage devoted to
various crops and of the numbers of
i've stock on feed The only alterna-
i've to such control is wild price fiuc-
tuat1ons which inevitably result from
the inelastic demand for farm prod
ucts and the uncertainty of the wealth
er The more intelligent, weather.
farmers probably benefit from these
Wild price fluctuations, but from the
standpoint of farmers as a whole and
the entire nation, there is a serious
waste in the extremely wide fuctua-
uons of supply, demand and price.
controlled farm production is a step
toward higher civilization"

that Judge f. c. Finney acting sec
letary Of the department of the inter
ior, has rendered his opinion In a let
ter addressed to Senator Bursum. New
Mexico, Judge Finney interprets the
law TO provide that work on claims
located within this period must be
completed before July 1. 1928
While government authorities point
out that the entire question is one for
the courts TO decide since issues con-
corning loss of title to a claim because
of neglect to complete assessment
work within the specified time must
be settled by the judiciary, the opinion
is of value as an indication of the trend
which it is thought would be taken by
a decision Of the court. Close students
of the situation are agreed that those
holding claims located during the first
six months Of 1921 should complete
their assessment work before noon of
July l. 1922. for the sake Of safety"

ter to Senator Bursum follows: Re

when annual assessment work upon
mining claims located between January
l. 1921, and July l. 1921, must be per-
formed TO avoid danger of relocation
l note that the attorney general for
Arizona has stated that, in his judg-
ment. such locators would be required
TO perform the annual assessment work
prior to July l. 1922
Unfortunately this is question
which cannot be settled by the opinion
of the attorney general of the state nor
by the secretary of the interior. as the
question would arise if at all, in the
event of a relocation of such claim and
upon adverse proceedings in the
courts However. am glad to give you
my opinion for what it is worth and
may state that it comedies with that
of the attorney general of Arizona.
"'You will note that the statutes
(42 Stat, 1860, provides that the period
within which work shall be performed
shall commence at u o'clock meridian
en- the first day of July succeeding the
GATE of location of such claims" y
further proviso is to the effect that in
all such valid existing claims the an.
nual period ending December 81 1921
shall continue to II o'clock noon Jul,
/, 1922. The latter prOviso was de
signed. of course. to take care of exist
ing claims and to give an extension Of
six months within which work might
he performed thereon. One of the rea
sons for the latter proviso was to avoid
having the year within which assess
ment work must be performed end at
different time for different classes of
claims As to the first provision of the
law. il seems clear that it was intended
to permanently change the time within
which annual assessment work upon
mining claims must be performed. Sc
as to have the year begin and end
with the first of July instead of the
first of January as heretofore. The
requirement in the statute is that the
year within which assessment work is
required to be performed begins on the
first day of July succeeding the date
of location. Therefore. if a claim were
located, say. in June. 1921. the year
in which work was required 10 be done
began on the next first of July, or July !
l, 1921, and to avoid relocation must |
have been performed during the year [

LEAD AND ZINC PROTECTION
(The Manufacturer.)


In our country of high wages. short
hours and high standards Of living, we
quire government protection of certain
quiregovernment protection of certain
lines of industry if they continue to
operate under our American standards
in competition with cheap labor, long
hour, foreign production.
We have seen this in our beet sugar
industry and we see it in certain
phases of our mining industry.
Various branches of our western
mining industry require certain tariff
protection to place them on an equal
basis for business as compared with
the foreign product shipped in here.
Particularly is this true in regard to
our lead silver zinc mines.
The Occur d'Alene district in Idaho
normally produces about one-third of
the nations lead, a heavy zinc output
and about 10000 900 ounces of silver.
Many other districts in the west pro-
duce important quantities of the same
metals. Over 1900 people in Sho-
shOne county, Idaho, are directly sup
ported by the operation of its mines
and many more are given employment
in other western states.
The import tariff rates provided in
the Fordney tariff bill will enable our
domestic mining industries to compete
with the cheap labor products of Eu-
rope and Mexico to the great benefit
of American labor and capital It is
essential that when necessary our in
dustries be protected sufficiently to al
low them to meet this competition but
not to kill competition.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.
Lewiston Banner)

Washington, Oregon and Montana
are anxious to get away from the di-
rect primary law and return to the old
convention system. by which total
strangers and professional politicians
were not permitted to slip into office
Idaho was among the first states to
go back to the convention system of
nominating candidates for state and
national offices, but made the mistake
Of selecting candidates for county Of
fices in a primary. In all probability
an effort will be made in the coming
republican state convention at Wallace
to resurrect the direct primary law.
but there is little danger of primary
advocates making much Roadway in
that direction. The people of Idaho, by
a large majority want the more con-
sentative, less expensive, more repre-
sentative convention system. conduct
ed on a fair and equitable basis.
Politicians who are always bowling
about high taxes favor the primary
law, but the added expense to the tax
payers is not taken into consideration.
=
of Washington over 100000 without
any good results II has been demon
strated that the primary law is a bar
to the man of ordinary means provided
there is a wealthy candidate seeking
office This does not hold good in
Idaho, however. The most ardent sup
porter of the direct primary in this
state is Senator Borah, but no one can
charge that he depends on his money,
or that of his friends, to either nOmi-
nate or elect him. On the contrary
he abhors money in politics" Why
he desires to resurrect the primary law
in this state is hard to understand, as
it is generally conceded that his seat in
the senate is safe with or without a
primary law. The democrats of Idaho
can't put forth a candidate who can
make a respectable showing in oppo-
stion TO Senator Borah.
